Kion is on his way to the old lair. While he keeps walking, Mpishi goes to him.

Mpishi: Hello again, lion-who-hates-helping.

Kion: Hello, Mpishi. What do you want now?

Mpishi: I already talked to the queen. Wanna hear what she told me?

Kion: What did she tell you?

Mpishi: She told me I am more than welcome here. And she also told me that everyone deserves a second chance. Oh. Finally, she told me that she needs to talk to you about this.

Kion: Ok. I'll talk to her.

Mpishi: What about you? Don't you want to tell me something?

Kion: No.

Mpishi: Not even an S word?

Kion: Let me talk to the queen, MY SISTER, and I'll consider it.

Kion takes his family to the Lion Guard’s lair, so he can show them its paintings and tell them about his past.

MJ: Hey dad! I can't see your past in the cave.

Kijana: Where is your past?

Kion: Hehe. You’ll see, kids. Before I tell you about my past, you need to know the history of the Lion Guard.

MJ: What about that?

Reirei looks at Kion with pride and curiosity.

Kion: *gets on his rock in the lair* Sit down. It's gonna be a long story.

Later, outside the Pride Rock’s cave:

Kiara: Okay, Kion. What's wrong?

Kion: Zira.

Kiara: Zira? *confused* I... I don't understand. Why do you want to talk about Zira?

Kion tells her about Zira’s return.

Kiara: What?! *surprised, shocked* Ok. That's too much information. But... I don't know how the others will react. Besides, how do you know she's telling you the truth? Kion. Tell me... Honestly, do you think we can trust her?

In the Outlands, Reirei is walking to the farm.

Zira: *calling from her cave* Hey. Jackal. Come here.

Reirei: *walks to the lioness* Do I know you?

Zira: You will.

Reirei: What do you want?

And Anga talks to Kion:

Anga: I need your help, Kion.

Kion: My help?

Anga: I need you to help me to convince Ono that I will never be mates with him again. I only see him as a friend.

Kion: Ono told me to try to convince you to be his mate again.

Anga: What? *surprised* And... What did you tell him?

At night, Kion walks into his den where Reirei is up with the kids.

Kion: Hey, Rei. *smiling lovely*

Reirei: *sad* Kion. I'm leaving with the kids.

Kion: What? Why?

Reirei: You... You have a lot of things to do and you can't keep staying with me like you have been doing.

Kion: Reirei... What are you talking about?

Reirei: I'm just saying... I'm keeping you stuck with me because of my pregnancy and I can't do that. You have a life to live. So I will give you space.

Kion: You're my life, Reirei. We have a family together.

Reirei: *starts crying* No. You... You need to stop spending time with me.

Kion: Rei... *gets closer*

Reirei: *backs off* You have to leave me alone. Come on, kids.

MJ: No. I don't want to go.

Reirei: Now!

She starts leaving with the kids.

Kion: *stops her* REIREI! What the heck's going on?!

Reirei: Kion. Let me go. Please.

Kion: NO!

Reirei: *pushes him away hard* I'm sorry. *and keeps walking with the kids*

Kion watches them confused, sad and worried. They just leave.

Next day, Maalum runs into Zira's den:

Maalum: *very upset* You told Kion lies about me! *pins her down*

Zira: Easy. I'm here as a friend.

Maalum: You don't have friends. I thought you were dead.

Zira: But I'm not. And I have a request for you.

Maalum: You must be kidding. What the fuck do you want from me?

In the Pride Lands, Simba went to the watering hole to drink some water before going back to Pride Rock. Maalum sees him and walks to him, always serious.

Maalum: Hey, Sim... Dad.

Simba: Hey, Maal! *smiles*

Maalum: I... I need to do something and... I hope you can forgive me. *serious, worried, sad... all emotions together*

Simba: What is it, son?

Maalum: I... I'm sorry. *cries a little* But I don't have a choice.

Simba gets closer, worried.

Maalum: Please, forgive me. *bites his leg very hard*

Simba: AAHH!! *falls*

Maalum: I'm so sorry. *crying more*
