"Rescue in the Outlands" is the thirty-fifth episode of the Disney Junior animated series, The Lion Guard. It premiered on September 29, 2017 and is the ninth episode of the second season.
Plot
The Lion Guard is trying to stop a buffalo stampede that was caused by a tsetse fly infestation. They finally stop the stampede by driving the buffalos into a water hole. They then go to help Mbeya after he gets stuck in a dried out swimming hole. Meanwhile in the Outlands, Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu are looking for Reirei's pack to recruit them for Scar's army. They run into Jasiri who marks an area that used to be their turf as her clan. They try to take it back, but Jasiri drives them off with ease.
When they return to the Outlands Volcano, Ushari mocks them for their incompetence especially after he hears how the three of them were defeated by one hyena to which Janja tells him Jasiri's no ordinary hyena. Scar, who had been listening in, thinks they should recruit her for their collective. Janja refutes this by saying that Jasiri not only respects the Circle of Life but is also friends with the Lion Guard. Hearing this, Scar deems Jasiri a threat and orders Janja to take his entire clan and get rid of her immediately. Janja's clan attacks Jasiri, Tuna, and Werna and traps them in a steam vent. Madoa sees it all and goes to get the Lion Guard's help.
Back in the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard has learned that the tsete flies don't like zebra stripes. Madoa appears and tells the Guard what happened. When the flies impede their progress, they bring Thurston along. The group arrives in the Outlands where they rescue Jasiri and the cubs and drive Janja's clan off.
