"Dupe" is the twenty-eighth episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on December 29, 2003.
Plot
Lilo hosts a slumber party, but none of her classmates from hula school come. When she finds an experiment that creates duplicates, she tries to clone herself so that she can have her own friends. Stitch saves her, but is cloned instead. Stitch is weakened by the duplication when his strength is divided among all the clones. Gantu is now able to use several experiments to capture Stitch. Lilo tricks Gantu into using Dupe to turn his few experiments into an army of hundreds and then merges the Stitches back into one full-strength Stitch.

Goofs
- When Richter arrives for Lilo's slumber party, he is shown to be smaller than usual, almost the same size as Stitch.
- When Richter leaves the party and exits the front door, he is shown with only one row of spikes protruding from the back of his sleepwear, instead of normally two rows of spikes.
- Hammerface is Experiment 033. However, in Stitch! The Movie, he is erroneously called 124, most likely due to Jumba's untidy database.
Trivia
- Moral: It's not the quantity of friends you have; it's who they are that matters.
- According to Gantu's past, his father was authoritarian, and it is because of this that he grew up lonely and with no friends. His father also told him to never trust people and to avoid them. Additionally, he revealed that he was often excluded from his peer groups' parties by the age of twelve and had braces at thirteen.
- Ironically, in "Frenchfry", Gantu is revealed to have college friends (two of his alien species) when Reuben took the liberty of inviting them over.
- Despite having all of Stitch's powers, Reuben suffered painful-looking injuries after he took a beating from Gantu's four henchmen experiments, most likely because he is too lazy to use his powers.
- When Stitch rolls into Hammerface, he uses Cannonball's ball form in Leroy & Stitch.
- Twice in this episode, Stitch and his three clones imitate Mertle and the girls' catchphrase "Yeah!".
- In the first instance, the four Stitches use that line to mock the girls' catchphrase when Lilo tells them that they're not invited to her slumber party at the hula school.
