When urged by the Lion Guard to return to his home in Mirihi Forest, Badili reluctantly does but is confronted and intimidated by a larger leopard named Mapigano, who had driven Badili out of Mirihi Forest. Angered by Mapigano's attitude, The Lion Guard come to Badili's aid and force Mapigano to leave.
The next day, the Lion Guard find Badili back in the Pride Lands and learn that Mapigano has driven him out again. Kion realizes that it must be Badili himself who must get rid of Mapigano for good. The Lion Guard train Badili in how to be brave and confident.
