Scar's new planBack in the Outlands Volcano, Janja and Reirei speak with Scar about how well the plan worked. When Tamaa expresses worry, Beshte assures him that they'll keep him safe, and Fuli also states that neither jackals or hyenas are that smart anyway. He leaves with the Lion Guard, who explain the plan more thoroughly. Although Tamaa is a little cautious, since he usually dabbles strictly in comedy, he is willing to give it a go. Tamaa announces that the show is finished to focus on the Lion Guard, where Kion explains that it's for a serious situation. Kion informs him that they're not checking up on him and that they need his help. When the Lion Guard interrupt, he explains to them how the animals give him food for making them laugh, reminding them that his life of crime is over. Tamaa speaks with the Guard Back in the Pride Lands, Tamaa is presenting a show, impersonating Thurston and Twiga. Bunga does not share Kion's concern and comments that they need to be in two places at once. While Beshte tries to get him to consider the possibility that it was a coincidence, Ono witnesses the hyenas meeting up with the jackals in the Outlands. When he learns that the jackals surrendered as quickly as the hyenas, his concern grows larger. Kion is especially concerned at the events, admitting that they are weaker when split up. Kion grows concerned The Lion Guard regroup and watch as the jackals flee into the Outlands. Fuli speeds away, leaving Bunga to catch up again. Ono scans the area, noting that the jackals are returning to the Outlands. After checking the pangolins are okay, Bunga finally arrives, exhausted. Reirei signals defeat, and the jackals' retreat. But when the jackals charge at them, they use their flatulence to ward them away. Reirei then disregards her former advice to her kids, and the jackals attack Fuli by throwing the pangolins at her. Reirei calmly commands her family to scatter, rendering Fuli and Ono unable to catch any of them. After scolding her youngsters for playing with them, Fuli and Ono arrive.

The jackals and the pangolins Meanwhile, Reirei and her pack chase the pangolins to a cliff edge, forcing them to curl up in balls. After checking that the giraffes are okay, Kion and Beshte follow the hyenas to make certain that they leave. Despite outnumbering the Guard, Janja picks himself up and calls for his clan to return. With Janja getting closer to the giraffes, Twiga takes action and kicks him away. But Kion worries that he will hurt the giraffes in the process.

This leaves the pair outnumbered, with Beshte suggesting that Kion uses his Roar. They are effortlessly knocked over by Kion and Beshte (though they quickly get back up), prompting Janja to send out Cheezi and Chungu as well. Janja notices the pair gaining on them and orders Nne and Tano to deal with them. Kion tries to deal with Cheezi and Chungu Kion sends Fuli and Bunga to deal with the jackals with Ono leading them whilst he and Beshte take on the hyenas. Ono then spots Reirei's pack pursuing some pangolins on the Chakula Plains, and the Guard is forced to split up. Janja's clan are in the Pride LandsВ again, chasing Twiga and Juhudi with the Lion Guard hot on their trail. The Guard faces two attacks, so Kion enlists the help of Tamaa the Drongo to help them be in two places at once.
