The Kupatana Celebration

The Kupatana Celebration is the sixth episode of The Lion Guard.

Synopsis
Kion inadvertently leads a pack of jackals into the Pride Lands, where they wreak havoc during a highly regarded Pride Lands ceremony. Ana Gasteyer (ABC’s “The Goldbergs”) guest stars as Rairai, the clever and scheming matriarch to a family of jackals.

Plot
Zazu is conducting a test run of The Kupatana Celebration song in preparation for Kupatana. Nearby, The Lion Guard are preparing for their morning check, until Ono sees a jackal pup in the Outlands being chased by Janja's Clan. They run to the Outlands and, much to their surprise, Janja is happy to see them take him away. The pup introduces himself as Dogo, and they agree to let him stay in the Pride Lands for his safety.

His mother, Rairai and her mate, Goigoi and the rest of their pups join them, and although Kion is worried, they promise not to cause any problems. Rairai explains how to cheat the system to her son, and when the Lion Guard return, she apologises again and claims it to be a misunderstanding. She asks for another chance at Kupatana, and he agrees.

At the event, it starts off wonderfully, until Rairai and her family start causing problems. Simba tells everyone to work together to stop the jackals and, with the help of the Lion Guard, they are able to shoo them back into the Outlands.
