"Shush" is the fifty-ninth episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series. It aired on August 26, 2005.
Plot
An experiment designed to collect private enemy conversations through his tail is accidentally activated by Lilo, who then gets into trouble after eavesdropping on Nani's phone call with David. Things take a turn for the worst when Lilo overhears part of Mertle's conversation and thinks that she hates her friends. As a result, Mertle, out of anger, willingly helps catch experiments for Hämsterviel in place of Gantu, unaware that he is using her.
