The Lion Guard.
The Savannah Summit.
He won't get away with that.
Grab that baobab fruit, Fuli!
-I got it! -Oh, yeah?
Whoa!
That was fun!
You guys, okay?
Yeah, thanks, Beshte. Just be careful on that ledge.
Hmm. Yes. It is rather dry.
Well, the dry season is on its way.
Pfft! One dry hillside's no reason to stop playing.
Now, where is that baobab fruit?
-Right here! -Come back here, Mtoto!
I'm gonna get it! I'm gonna get it!
Mtoto, please be home by sunset.
Okay, Mom. I'll be home soon.
That was Mom. She said I should come home before sundown.
-Mom? You see his mom anywhere? -Nope.
And it's kind of hard to miss an elephant.
Oh! They're using infrasound!
Infant sound? But Mtoto's not a baby!
Not infant sound. Infrasound!
Some animals can talk using sounds lower than most of us can hear.
It even lets them talk over long distances.
-Oh. -No kidding?
Poa!
It's just something elephants do.
Un-Bunga-lievable!
So you can hear stuff from all over the Pride Lands?
-Like what? -Let me take a listen.
I'm on my way to Pride Rock.
Sounds like...
Ma Tembo.
She's headed to Pride Rock.
- He's right! - Pretty good, Mtoto.
-Yeah, yeah. What else? -Oh, uh...
Excuse me, I have to get to Pride Rock.
Ooh! I hear Twiga.
Sounds like she's going to Pride Rock too!
Yup. Twiga's on the move.
Oh, they must be on their way to the Savannah Summit!
The Savannah Summit?
It's when the King brings together key animal leaders
to discuss matters of great importance to the Pride Lands.
Dad says getting different animals to agree helps the Circle of Life.
Especially with the dry season approaching.
I'm trying to hear what Mtoto hears.
I don't think it works that way, Bunga.
Oh, no!
Now I hear a crocodile headed to Pride Rock!
-Crocodile? -Huh?
Hapana! He's right, it's Makuu!
I bet he's trying to spoil the summit.
He's never cared about the Circle of Life. Come on!
'Til the Pride Lands' end...
Lion Guard defend!
Dad, look out!
You won't ruin the Savannah Summit today, Makuu.
Kion!
-Oh, dear. -Calm down, cub. I was invited.
You were?
Oh, that's right, Kion. I invited him myself.
Oh.
And I appreciate the invitation.
You'll see that I take my responsibility as crocodile leader seriously.
Very seriously.
Not sure I trust him.
Uh, Dad, can I talk to you?
-Alone? -All right.
Excuse us.
Don't worry, Kion.
This guy's not going anywhere.
Dad, you know we've had a lot of trouble with Makuu.
I don't trust him.
The crocodiles are a part of the Pride Lands, Kion.
And Makuu is their leader.
Yeah, but to invite him to the Savannah Summit?
With all these other peaceful animals?
Crocodiles have always been invited to the Savannah Summit.
Maybe that worked with Pua, the old crocodile leader.
But Makuu? He's got more enemies than friends.
Kion, you don't have summits just to talk to your friends.
You have summits to help turn conflict into friendship.
To build trust.
I think Makuu is ready.
Sire, it's time for the procession.
Thank you, Zazu.
And Kion? I still need you and the Guard to be on alert.
In case the other animals aren't ready to accept Makuu.
Okay, Dad. Sure.
Your attention, please!
We shall now proceed to Mizimu Grove for the beginning of the Savannah Summit.
Can you believe Makuu was invited here?
After everything he and his crocs have done.
Yes. And we're supposed to treat him with respect?
We should talk.
Now, now, mustn't dawdle.
King Simba's Savannah Summit awaits.

Poa. So far, everyone seems to be getting along.
Yeah. Even Makuu's behaving himself.
I don't know. Makuu might say all the right things to my dad.
But I still don't trust him. We need to keep an eye on him.
You know, that'd be easier to do if he was here.
- What? Where did he go? - Lion Guard!
-Lion Guard! -What's the kerbubble, Mtoto?
I just heard Makuu. He's down by the watering hole.
And he sounds really mad.
This is exactly what I was worried about. Come on!
Wait for me!
Bupu, all we crocodiles do during the dry season is sleep.
Right. You'll pretend to be sleeping, so we'll let down our guard.
Isn't this summit supposed to be about negotiating in good faith?
Good faith? With a croc?
Next you'll tell me the dry season's wet.
-What? -I know all about you crocodiles
and your "crocodile way."
Well, no thanks.
Why you...?
That's enough, Makuu!
-Beshte. -On it, Kion.
Why don't you both take a deep breath before you say something,
or eat something you'll regret?
I was trying to talk to him.
But it seems there's no point talking to a jumpy antelope.
You've got that right!
Makuu, I'm warning you.
I won't let anyone ruin the Savannah Summit.
Especially you.
Especially me?
Fine.
I don't want any trouble.
He'll think twice before tangling with an antelope.
That was close.
Oh, yeah. Simba would be pretty upset
if his summit ended with Makuu eating Bupu for lunch.
Good thing we got here when we did.
Yeah. Thanks, Mtoto.
Huh? Oh, sure. Glad to help.
Hey, Mtoto. You think you could keep your ears open
for the rest of the summit?
Let us know if you hear anything suspicious?
Yes, sir!
I'm pretty sure Makuu's up to something.
So we need to be ready for any sign of trouble, all of us.
Got to listen. Got to listen. Listen for any sign of trouble.
Vuruga Vuruga, Makuu.
That sounds like trouble to me!
Wait! What exactly did Twiga say about Makuu?
I'm not sure.
It couldn't have been good.
Everyone knows crocs and giraffes don't mix.
I'll bet Makuu's gonna attack Twiga!
And ruin the summit.
I bet that's what Makuu's been planning all along.
'Til the Pride Lands' end...
Lion Guard defend!
Back off, Makuu!
Makuu?
-Don't worry, Twiga, I'll protect you. -From what?
-From Makuu, where is he? -No Makuu here.
-But Mtoto heard him. -Uh, well, no.
I heard Twiga talking about Makuu.
Me? I wasn't talking about Makuu.
-Were you talking about Makuu? -No, why would I talk about Makuu?
How should I know?
I'm just eating branches. Like a giraffe does.
Me too. Delicious branches.
Uh, Vuruga Vuruga, Aren't you more of a grass eater?
Buffalo eat whatever we want.
Uh, okay.
Uh, so, Twiga, you're all right?
Oh, yes. Fine. Totally fine. Thanks for asking.
Now, I'm sure there are more important matters
at the summit for you to attend to.
Yeah. Let's go.
That was strange, right?
-We did interrupt their lunch. -I don't think it was that, Little B.
They seemed real nervous.
Especially any time we mentioned Makuu.
Hmm. What if he threatened them, and they're too afraid to tell us?
To tell us? But we're the Lion Guard.
That's how much he must've scared them.
Just having Makuu here is hurting the summit.
Good thing Mtoto can hear if anything bad's happening.
Yeah! I wish I could hear like you, Mtoto.
It'd be un-Bunga-lievable!
I'll do my best.
Help!
Hey, I'm getting the hang of this! I just heard--
-Zazu! -Yeah, but--
We all heard him.
This way.
Mbeya, you must get up.
I cannot finish the portrait with you sitting down.
Where's Zazu? Is he in trouble?
Did Makuu eat him?
Perhaps, Zazu himself can explain, eh, Zazu?
Not funny, Rafiki!
At least, you're right about that.
I'm not getting off until you apologize, Zazu.
Apologize? Me?
I'm the one with a rhinoceros on his head.
You think this is what the King meant
when he asked us to look out for trouble at the summit?
Not exactly.
He called me clumsy.
No, he didn't. I did.
Uh, Rafiki?
No, no, Kion. It is the Lion Guard that must get to the...
Bottom of the situation.
"Bottom!" I get it.
Will someone just tell me what happened?
I was having a perfectly nice time when suddenly this--
This hippo with a horn bumps into me.
Who are you calling a hippo? I'm a rhino, you baboon!
Who are you calling a baboon?
You are a baboon.
Oh. Right.
But does it matter what happened? Just get off of me.
Daylight!
I thought I'd never see you again.
Hey, Mbeya, looks like you have some hornbill stuck on your backside.
Oh, come on, everyone. It was just an accident.
You're right. Sorry, Mbeya.
Uh, that's okay.
Sorry I sat on you, Zazu.
Quite all right.
Rafiki, please tell me this won't make it into the official portrait.
Not the official one.
Lion Guard, Lion Guard, it's Makuu!
All right, Bupu, I've heard enough!
I think he's at Pride Rock, and he's yelling at Bupu again.
Let's go!
That's right, Bupu.
You've got a--
Got you.
Kion! What are you doing?
Dad? We heard--
You heard us negotiating, cub.
We were just about to reach an agreement
for the crocodiles to sleep by the antelopes' watering hole.
Now, Bupu, Makuu, if we can just--
Forget it! How can I trust any of you if you don't trust me?
This whole summit's a joke!
But Makuu, we were so close.
Don't worry, Bupu. We can try again.
With all due respect, your highness, I don't see the point.
I've done my best.
But negotiating is obviously not the crocodile way.
That's not true.
We talked about this, Kion.
I know, Dad. But there's something going on.
I'm not sure what, but Makuu--
Is a new leader.
I need to build his trust.
That's why I included him in the summit.
But he just wants to ruin it.
You may have ruined it.
I--
I'm sorry, Dad.
Then find a way to fix it.
I have to get back to Mizimu Grove and salvage what I can of the summit.
You okay, Kion?
-That sounded intense. -I'll say.
What's Simba so upset about? We saw Bupu. You saved him.
No, I didn't.
-Apparently, Bupu didn't need saving. -He didn't?
You still think something's going on with Makuu?
I-- I don't know.
I need some time to think.
Grandfather Mufasa?
Yes, Kion?
My Dad is really upset with me.
And I'm worried that I ruined his summit.
I didn't mean to. It's just--
I was so sure Makuu wanted to ruin it.
And what has Makuu done to make you think this?
Well, he-- He--
Nothing really.
But I've got this feeling that something bad's gonna happen.
And that means stopping Makuu, right?
Rafiki has a saying about reaching conclusions too quickly.
"Leap to conclusions, and you leap to confusions."
Perhaps, you need to figure out what's truly going on.
Without jumping to conclusions.
Right. Thank you, Grandfather. I'll do my best.
I know you will.
Kion, Kion!
Mtoto just heard Makuu on the attack.
-We gotta go. -What, Makuu's attacking? Mtoto?
Well, I heard something about an attack.
I'm just not sure who's attacking who.
It's gotta be Makuu. Who else could it be?
Easy, Bunga. let's not jump to conclusions.
Mtoto, can you listen again?
...going to pay. We'll do it tonight just after sunset!
They're going to do it tonight right after sunset.
-Who's gonna do what right after sunset? -I couldn't tell.
Come on, it's Makuu's big plot.
Whatever it is, it's happening tonight.
Okay. But so far, Makuu hasn't done anything wrong.
Yes. But it seems like he's been at the center
of everything Mtoto has heard today.
Yeah, well, he doesn't exactly get along with anybody.
You're right, Fuli.
Makuu does have a lot of enemies here.
But he seems like he wants to change that.
But even if he's ready to change,
that doesn't mean everyone else is.
Which means--? What?
Of course!
Makuu's not the one planning something.
He's the target.
Lion Guard, we've gotta find Makuu and save him.
Makuu!
Leave me alone, cub.
No, Makuu, listen.
You're in danger!
Are you gonna pounce on me again?
Relax, Makuu. We're here to protect you.
You? Protect me?
I'm a crocodile.
What could you possibly protect me from?
Hapana! It's a trap.
Kion, he's slipping.
Hang in there, Makuu.
What's it look like I'm doing?
Everyone, now!
Thanks, cub.
You're welcome, Makuu.
You call this a trap?
Not a very good one.
I mean, who's gonna fall into-- Whoa!
- Bunga! - I'm okay.
What's that smell?
I think it's rotten fruit.
Mmm, it's not that rotten.
So somebody wanted me to fall into a pit
filled with rotting fruit.
I'm telling you, it is not that rotten.
Who would do this?
I'm not sure.
But I have an idea how we can find out.
Animals of the Savannah Summit,
I'm afraid I have some bad news.
I don't know how to say this, but it's about Makuu.
Earlier this evening, he fell into a pit.
It was a serious fall.
He tried his best to get out.
He struggled bravely, like a true crocodile, but...
I'm sorry to say that Makuu
has completed his journey through the Circle of Life.
-What? -That's horrible.
And we were so close to a deal.
We never meant for him to get hurt.
We just wanted him to fall into some rotten fruit.
For the last time, it wasn't that rotten.
You thought you could take me out with one little pit?
Enough with the gasping.
Makuu?
Makuu, you're okay!
Bunga, you knew that all along.
Oh, yeah.
We didn't wanna hurt you.
Just make you smell bad.
The way you were strutting around here, we wanted to teach you a lesson.
I came to the summit to show I'm a good leader,
to help my float and the Pride Lands,
but none of you gave me a chance.
Instead, for my efforts, I get this.
This plot...
Worthy of a crocodile.
I couldn't have done it better myself.
I say, let King Simba's Savannah Summit go on!
Nice work, Kion.
You saved the summit.
- Yeah. After I almost ruined it. - Makuu.
Perhaps, you and your float should spend the dry season
sleeping near our watering hole after all.
What are you talking about? The crocs will sleep by our mud wallow.
No. I think it should be near us.
Excuse me, son.
I need to get a handle on this before it gets out of control.
- Mtoto! - Mom! I forgot.
I'm on my way home right now. Bye, everybody!
You know, I'm glad I can't hear like Mtoto.
I don't wanna know everybody's business.
Ha! Just as well.
You'd look pretty silly with ears that big.
