Cave of Secrets

"**Cave of Secrets**" is the forty-seventh episode of the Disney Junior animated series *The Lion Guard*. It premiered on September 4, 2018 and is the twenty-first episode in the second season.

## Plot

The Lion Guard is looking at the paintings that every Royal Mijuzi has made to find a way to defeat Scar. They fail to find anything. Fuli speculates that it might be because the return of an Evil Lion of the Past has never happened before. Makini, however, states that they just didn't find the right one.

While showing them the paintings, Makini bumps into a huge rock. After Beshte moves it, the group learns about a hidden chamber that reveals the secret to defeating evil. The take a path deep under the Lair where they deal with a bunch of obstacles. Kion eventually realizes these are tests.

When they finally get to the hidden chamber, they find a pool of water. This makes Kion realize they already have what it takes to defeat Scar. They vow to do so. The group then heads back up.
