* LetsYouAndHimFight: Kion's group and Vitani's group think the other is an enemy for different reasons; Kion was seeking Zira, and he remembers Vitani as one of her lions from his last encounter with them, not knowing they have joined Simba's Pride. Vitani still thinks the hyenas are trying to invade the Pridelands, and it looks like they're being led by a lion with the mark of evil. Kiara goes in and tells Kion to stand down.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Kion and his friends arrived moments too late after the big battle against Zira, so they don't know that the Outsiders have rejoined the Pridelanders. Even the Hyenas themselves didn't know this either, because they were instructed to hide out and not to engage Zira until Kion arrives so they didn't see what happened. Likewise, Vitani and the newly-reformed Outsiders still think the hyenas are their enemies, not realizing they reformed months ago.
