The plan could work like this get at least two members of The Guard angry at one another, cause in fighting (arguing) within the team. Thereby disrupting their teamwork and making them less effective (and therefore more vulnerable) in the field. If the Divide and Conquer tactic were to work with optimal effect if could cause The Lion Guard to splinter or perhaps disband completely.

I think the psychological method is what is likely to be used in the episode. That way violence won't be an issue.

I agree, that seems to be the most likely scenario for this episode. And I have a sneaking suspicion that Scar will be masterminding the schism between the members so that there will be no one to oppose him when he finally makes his grand plan.

Kind of curious about what “the Little Guy” will be about. I’m kind of hoping it will revolve around bugs/insects. The Lion Guard tends to treat them like pests/objects/food, which is no better than how the hyenas and other Outlanders view the herds. Technically, bugs are a part of the circle of life as well (queue Mufasa’s respect the crawling ant speech)and they need to be respected just as much as the zebra and antelope. It would be interesting for the Guard to get to know and befriend some insect Pride Landers and help them in their time of need. Bunga and his uncles especially tend to stuff themselves and hunt bugs even when they aren’t particularly hungry but more out of pleasure for the taste. Not exactly just take what they need, which is supposed to be the philosophy of all the “good” predators.
