In the Outlands Tamka and Nduli are talking about what food they wanna eat while Kiburi talks to Scar. They soon notice Thurston the zebra. Thurston tells him that he's not going to miss the big party, Tamka assumes he means the big meeting, and Thurston explains that he's the guest of honor due to his Lion Guard knowledge, and assumes that they too, wish to hear about the Guard's weaknesses. He tells them that rubbing their tummies will cause them to go to sleep, and the crocodiles decide to bring back the Lion Guard to Scar in the hopes that they'll get to go to the next big meeting.

However their plan is ruined because Kion uses the Roar of the Elders on them.

### **Undercover Kinyonga**

According to Ono, Kiburi's float and the jackals are still in Kilio Valley.

### **The Zebra Mastermind**

Tamka and Nduli are wondering why they can't go to the big meeting with Kiburi, Janja, and Reirei. Tamka and Nduli start thinking about what they want to eat, and they spot Thurston sleeping alone in the Outlands. They try to sneak up on him, but Nduli steps on a stick and it wakes him up. He explains how he's going to a "party" with his hyena friends.

The crocs ask about the Lion Guard's weakness, and Thuston explains if they rub their tummies, it'll make them sleepy. They go try it, but nothing works, particularly when Nduli's rubbing Beshte's tummy tickles it. Kion gets mad and uses the Roar of the Elders, blowing them away. They head back to the Outlands and find Cheezi, Chungu, and Goigoi talking about the crazy zebra. They decide to just eat him, but they keep fighting on what part of him they want to eat. The Lion Guard arrives to protect Thurston, which starts a fight. The Guard ultimately wins and the members of Scar's army retreat, including Tamka.

The Lion Guard and gorilla warrior Shujaa arrive to stop them, and Shujaa hurls rocks at Kiburi and Tamka. The army is scared off and they report their troubling issues to Scar; however, he learns about Shujaa's incredible displays of strength and he explains how they can use it to destroy the Pride Lands.

Later, Tamka and the rest of the army come back and attempt to sneak up on the sable antelopes, but Shujaa and the Lion Guard arrive to stop them. Shujaa nearly attacks them again, but this time, Kion uses the Roar to blast Tamka and his allies away.

However, Tamka and the army soon come back, and attack Basi's Pod as the area is in flames. Beshte charges at Kiburi and Tamka, sending them flying back. The army takes advantage when the hippo injures his leg, continuing their rampage until Shujaa returns, having learned to control his strength.
