For anyone who is confused as to why the hyenas would want anything to do with Scar, firstly it's been implied that they don't know the truth behind Scar's death. Also, Scar appears to communicate a lot more with Ushari than his other minions so far (a possible nod to the cobra minion he was supposed to have in the Lion King's early drafts).

Looking at Scar's body language, though, it should be obvious he'll betray everyone once his plan comes into fruition. A quote from "Let Sleeping Crocs Lie".

Ushari: "And then we reptiles will rule the Pridelands"  (Scar makes a smug look with one eyebrow raised) "Uh...under your leadership of course, right Scar?"

Scar:  "Of course, Ushari. Of course."  (in a sarcastic manner)
