In the Back Lands...

Zebra: King Kion! *running to him, worried* I need your help! I can't find my daughter. She was playing with that little hybrid. But now I just can't find her.

Kion: Let's find them.

Kion starts following his husband’s daughter's scent, but he stops when he sees some paw prints. Looking at those paw prints, he can realize that a little zebra and a little hybrid were running and maybe three leopards were running after them. He follows the paw prints.

Later, while Kion’s walking to his den, he notices Bweha and his mother kissing passionately at the entrance of his den.

Kion: *walking to them* Hey, cuties.

Nala and Bweha: Aahh! *breaking the kiss quickly*

Nala: *very nervous* K-Kion?

Bweha: *very nervous* We were just talking.

Reirei talks to Kion:

Reirei: Kiara told me that she's tired of waiting for your plan. She wants you and Nala to meet her and your father tomorrow morning in the Mizimu Grove. She wants you both there after sunrise. She didn't tell me, but... I'm going with you.

Kion: Alright. You're family.

Maalum talks to Rani:

Maalum: Tomorrow we will finally go back to Ardhi Zetu. I can't wait to see everyone.

Rani: We'll only be gone for a couple days.

Maalum: Well... Kinda...

Rani: Kinda?

Maalum: I've been thinking about this for a while. The Tree Of Life is a little far from Ardhi Zetu, but is very far from the Pride Lands. We won't be able to visit the Tree many times. So I want to visit the Tree Of Life before we get back to the Pride Lands.

Rani: That's a great idea, Maalum. *smiling*

Maalum starts leaving with Rani, Baliyo and Janna. Kion and Reirei watch them leaving the Outlands.

Reirei: I wished Kaikai was alive to see how grown up and happy her son is. *smiling, thinking about the hybrid’s mother*

Kion: *nuzzles her* Oh honey. 

Some time later, in the Pride Rock’s cave:

Simba: Nala. You are more than just a friend to me. You are the most incredible lioness I know. We have a beautiful family and I want you to keep being part of it. Please, Nala. Give me another chance.

Nala: Simba, I...

Sinba: Yes? *smiling*

She just runs away, really fast.

Simba: NALA!

Kion: MOM!!

A while later, Sarabi comes to Simba:

Simba: Huh? Mom? *surprised* What are you doing here?

Sarabi: Anga told me you were here.

Simba: Mom. I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Sarabi: It's ok, Simba. You're still my son. That'll never change. 

Simba: Thank you, mom.

In Mbali Fields...

Muhimu: This place is so peaceful, so comfortable... Don't you think?

Kion: I do.

Muhimu: *sees Hamu talking to another zebra* My son... How he grew up. Now I miss those days when he was a cub.

Kion: I haven't seen Hamu in a long time.

Muhimu: He's a very smart zebra and really nice to everyone. *smiling proudly*

Kion: Your son is gonna be a great leader, Muhimu.

Kion and Nala walk:

Kion: Have you been thinking about the conversation?

Nala: Yes. And I made a decision. I'm going to live in Pride Rock again.

Kion: You are? *smiling*

Nala: Yes. *keeps serious* But not as Simba's mate. I still see him just as a friend. But I'm planning to spend a little more time with him. For you, Kiara and Kopa.

Later, Kion and Reirei are walking:

Reirei: Do you think your husband is already in Ardhi Zetu?

Kion: I hope so. It's only a half day's walk from here.

Reirei: You're right. *thinks a bit* You know? They will probably leave tomorrow to go to the Tree Of Life. I think... We should do the same.

Kion: Wha-?

Reirei: I want to visit our son Goya. I think we should go to the Tree Of Life. What do you think?

Maalum, Rani, Baliyo and Janna finally arrive at Ardhi Zetu:

Maalum: Aahhh. Finally. *smiles*

Janna: I missed this place.

Maalum: Yeah. It's not as good as the Tree Of Life or the Pride Lands, but it was our home for some months. Let's go to our den. They will love to see us again. Don't you think, Rani?

Rani: I do.

Maalum: Let's go.

A lot will still happen in the last episodes of this season. So don’t miss...
