"Nearly Departed" is the first segment from the 78th episode of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
Timon and Pumbaa get stung by a scorpion-like beetle. After learning that its venom is fatal after twenty-four hours and there is no cure for it, the two try to make their last day the best, with Timon acting nice toward every other animal in the Serengeti and Pumbaa getting the fame and fortune he deserves. However, when the time comes, they realize that the venom has no effect on meerkats or warthogs.

Plot
The episode starts with Timon and Pumbaa chasing bugs. The bugs go under a rock, Timon and Pumbaa lift the rock up, and a scorpion-like beetle closes its claws on one of Timon and Pumbaa's feet, which really hurts. The two friends wonder what is it that bit them and Timon reads a book to find out. The book says that what bit Timon and Pumbaa is called a red skeetle orpion and that it's poisonous and there is no cure. When Timon and Pumbaa believe they're gonna die, the two decide to do the things they've never done.

Timon tells the jungle animals that he's moving and gives away his stuff. Meanwhile, Pumbaa is at a store purchasing different kinds of shirts. After that, the warthog goes to another store and purchases different kinds of technology the owner shows him. After Timon is done giving away his stuff, Pumbaa shows up in a limousine and wearing a suit to find out how his friend is doing.

Timon goes to an elderly meerkat named Bernice, who could be one of his relatives. Bernice tells Timon that she has never seen the world for all her life and Timon decides to make her do so. Timon takes Bernice to the pyramid, then the top of Mount Everest. Pumbaa skydives and lands at the top of Mount Everest where Timon and Bernice are. The warthog asks Timon if he wants to ski all the way to the bottom of the mountain and Timon tells him that he has to keep showing Bernice the world.

Pumbaa now becomes a daredevil. He has to pass a ring covered with fire with a car. After he does so, the car falls upside down to the ground, but luckily, Pumbaa survives. Then the warthog is in a cage underwater and runs into a shark. Then Pumbaa is at a casino playing a game of Billionaire.

Meanwhile, Timon is painting a field he's at. As Timon enjoys the nature, Pumbaa shows up in a helicopter with three ladies. Pumbaa gets out of the helicopter and says goodbye to the ladies and goes to Timon. It is almost time for Timon and Pumbaa to die. However, when the time comes, Timon and Pumbaa are still alive. Timon reads the book again and sees that it says that the poison has no effects on meerkats and warthogs, which makes him and Pumbaa extremely happy, but also making them realize that doing the things they haven't done was a waste of time.
