Plot
The episode begins in the Tree of Life where all the animals from the Pridelands and the Outlands have come for King Kion’s first Kumbuka celebration of helping the Night Pride defend their home from Makucha, Chuluun, Ora, Mama Binturong, and their allies. Luna, Greg, Amaya, Dylan, Angel, and Ashton welcomes the animals who have come from different lands and helps them feel right at home.

Meanwhile, inside the tree, Makini was telling the young animals stories of the Lion Guard and the Night Pride’s first meet, battle with Makucha’s army, Queen Rani’s coronation, and also King Kion’s coronation while the Night Pride, the PJ Lion Guard (minus Catboy), and King Kion and Queen Rani were happily watching the scene just as Queen Rani says to Kion that this is a big day for him as Kion agrees and adds he couldn’t believe that all the animals have come a long way to the Tree of Life to see him at his Kumbuka. Rani replies yes and that word seems to spread a lot all over and it's no wonder all animals came as Kion chuckles and replies that he hasn't done it alone as he sends Rani a reminding smile, meaning that he had some help from her and their friends in defending the Tree of Life. Just as Makini was still telling the stories, Kion and Rani decide to go see Catboy, and check and see how he's doing with explaining another different story to his class, where it involves sister and brother-in-law, Kiara and Kovu.

At the Tree of Life school as Kion and Rani arrives to enter the class, Catboy, along with Kiara and Kovu, were explaining to his students about how Kovu and Kiara stopped the fight between the lions from the Pridelands and the Outsiders, Vitani and the rest of Zira's pride joining Simba's Pride like Kovu did, and also Zira's death, leaving the students engrossed and astounded as Kiara proclaims that one day, she and Kovu will be the new queen and king of the Pridelands. Just then, the parrot flies in and squawks, meaning that class is dismissed as Catboy gives his students, who were getting up from their mud desks, an assignment on getting ready for Kion's Kumbuka as everyone was excited.
