Really great episode. The score for this episode was amazing. The scorpion being able to talk was pretty neat, song was nice for the short length it was on, and Makini was great to see as always. At this point, I wish they'd have her on board as a backup member of the Guard. Very tense in parts, more than what you see in most shows aimed at this age range.

Although I did enjoy it, a few points I felt that were poorly done.

First, Ushari's big reveal as a villain. The least I expected from Kion was "Ushari?!" or "Ushari? Why?". Didn't need him to answer. Just a sort of "I thought we were friends" thing from Kion. As a Pride Lander, this is one of the animals that he was tasked with protecting. I'm hoping this will be brought up in a future episode (preferably not one that ends in his banishment, since the Lion Guard - or more importantly, Bunga - pushed him to this).

Scar's meeting was similarly underwhelming. I expected a close up shot of Kion looking shocked or distressed, but he was calm to the point of anti-climatic.

Bunga did NOT need to carry that gourd. Fuli could have had it in her mouth. Tired of Bunga getting unnecessary spotlight.
