** As pointed out by a YouTuber in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKWS8t-kts0 this video]], in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', when Timon leaves his colony as he feels that he does not fit in, he at least has the presence of his mother to keep his spirits up, whereas in this episode, he is ''utterly alone'', therefore being completely down as he leaves his now-former home.

** With Laura it's even worse. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that Laura is [[spoiler: just as ugly as Herman, and only makes herself look prettier when out in public]]. Now, think back to the opening scene when Laura's friends are cruelly heckling Herman. Not only does Laura feel bad for Herman, but likely felt personal betrayal by her own friends.

** In that same scene, Fred gives Timon a sympathetic look. Said look may also indicate that he is sad to see the best friend he ever had leave the colony for good, and knowing that he was the one who talked Timon into leaving his post in the first place, he must feel really guilty for doing so.

** Pumbaa's story as he explains in the "Alone Together" scene. Until he met and befriended Timon, he has been living as a miserable loner as no other animal wanted to be around him due to his gas odor, which he had to [[ApologizesALot constantly apologize for]]. It's no wonder he tries to hide his gas from Timon at first. And looking back to the scene with Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, it is highly likely that the hyenas told Pumbaa that they were going to have him for dinner, and because Pumbaa was so desparate to find a friend, he misinterpreted that as them ''inviting him'' to dinner.



** The two origin episodes, as well as ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', make this HarsherInHindsight, as they reveal that Pumbaa was banished from his sounder because of his smell and until he met and befriended Timon, he was alone in the world, with other animals trying to avoid him for that same reason. With Pumbaa thinking that his gas odor came between his and Timon's friendship, he would have returned to this state.

** Before he was even hatched, Pumbaa Jr. was separated from his birth parents to come into human possession. [[AdultFear Not only do his parents not know what happened to him, he has been missing for presumably months (as he is now an adolescent), and it is unlikely that they will ever find him or recognize him as their son]].

** Before Timon and Pumbaa were formally introduced and became friends, after the two escape the hyenas, Pumbaa suggests that it must be time for Timon to return to his meerkat colony, which Timon claims to agree but then gives a sad look, as he knows too well that he can't go back to the colony.
