The Lion Guard S2 E2

## Plot

While playing with the rest of the Guard and Mtoto, Kion and Bunga fall off a ledge because of how dry it is. The dry season is on its way. Suddenly, Mtoto stops and tells everyone that his mom wants him to be home before sundown. Ono realizes that they're communicating through infrasound. Some animals can talk to each other at lower frequencies than others can hear. He hears Ma Tembo and Twiga heading to Pride Rock. Kion says they must be there for the Savannah Summit. It's when the king brings together key animal leaders to discuss matters of great importance to the Pridelands. Getting them to agree is critical to the Circle of Life, especially with the dry season coming. Makuu is heading to Pride Rock, and Kion thinks he'll try to ruin the summit, so he tackles him. However, Simba reveals that he invited Makuu, who says that he takes his role as crocodile leader very seriously. Kion and the other animal leaders don't think they can trust him though. Simba tells him that you have summits to try and turn conflict into friendship and to build trust. He tells the Guard to be on alert in case the other animals aren't ready to accept Makuu. Twiga, the leader of the giraffes, and Vuruga Vuruga, the leader of the buffaloes, can't believe that Makuu was invited. He isn't at Mizimu Grove with all the other leaders. Mtoto tells the Guard that he's by the watering hole, and he sounds really mad. He wants to hibernate during the dry season near Bupu's watering hole, but he thinks Makuu's float will just pretend to be sleeping so his antelope herd let their guard down. Makuu gets angry, so he attacks Bupu. Beshte tries to calm them down. Kion asks Mtoto to tell them if he hears anything suspicious during the summit. He thinks Makuu is up to something. Mtoto tells them that he heard Twiga mention Vuruga Vuruga and Makuu. The Guard is worried that he'll attack Twiga and ruin the summit. However, he's not there, and they deny ever mentioning him. They act really strange. Kion is worried that Makuu threatened them, and they're too afraid to tell them. They hear Zazu calling for help. Mbeya the rhino sat on him, and won't get up until he apologizes for calling him clumsy. However, the baboon next to him was the one who actually called him clumsy, because he bumped into him, due to rhinos having poor eyesight. The Guard wonder if this is what Simba meant when he told them to look out for trouble at the summit. The baboon apologizes to Mbeya for insulting him, who apologizes to Zazu for sitting on him. Mtoto tells the Guard that Makuu is at Pride Rock, and he's yelling at Bupu again. Kion attacks him, but it turns out that they were just about to reach an agreement for the crocodiles to sleep by the antelopes' watering hole. Makuu asks them how he can trust them if they don't trust him, and leaves. Simba says Kion may have ruined the summit, and tells him to find a way to fix it. He talks to Mufasa, who tells him not to jump to conclusions. Makuu hasn't actually done anything to try and ruin the summit. Kion has to figure out what's really going on. Mtoto heard something about an attack happening after sunset, but he doesn't know who's attacking who. Kion realizes that Makuu is the target of the attack, since he has a lot of enemies at the summit. He almost falls into a pit, but the Guard is able to save him. The hole is full of rotten fruit. Kion isn't sure who did it, but he knows how to find out. He tells the other leaders that Makuu *died*, and Twiga and Vuruga Vuruga admit that they did it, but they never meant for him to get hurt. Makuu reveals that he's alive, and forgives Twiga and Vuruga Vuruga for what they did. He agrees to sleep by the buffaloes' mud wallow during the dry season. Mtoto heads home. Simba thanks Kion for saving the summit.
