Background[]
| “ | ” |
In preparation for the hyenas' presence, Max teaches Timon to scurry, sniff, and flinch.
Ma proposed the idea of Timon being put on sentry duty to Max, but he worried that Timon would fail and get the colony killed. Ma argued that sentry duty was perfect for Timon, then asked the colony if they wanted Timon to go back on tunnel duty. In the face of their resounding refusal, she told Timon to listen to Max and urged him to make this job work.
Timon obediently followed Max to a rock on the edge of the colony's turf and listened unenthusiastically as his uncle demonstrated how to "scurry," "sniff," and "flinch." Though Timon mocked Max for his fervent attitude, his uncle clapped back that he would not be so amused when he got into danger.
Once Max had gone, Timon attempted to scurry, sniff, and flinch. However, while doing so, he began to fantasize about his dream home and failed to notice three hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed sneaking up on him.[1]
The invasion[]

The hyenas had Timon surrounded, and Shenzi clapped sarcastically at the end of his performance. She then shoved him aside, and she and her companions dashed past him to invade the colony. Meanwhile, Timon rolled down a hill and smacked into Max, who was initially angry at him but soon realized that the meerkats were under attack. In the midst of the chaos, Ma pulled Timon into the safety of a tunnel. Max nearly got eaten by the hyenas but managed to escape down a hole just in time.[1]
Aftermath[]

The meerkats turn their ire on Timon for his failure on sentry duty.
After the hyena invasion, the meerkats turned their ire on Timon, who attempted to brush off his failures. However, he wilted when Max pointed out that he had trusted his nephew. The colony proceeded to leave Timon alone in the midst of the tunnel.
Timon went outside and sat by himself. A concerned Ma followed him outside and assured him that he was liked. However, when Timon pointed out that no one liked him besides her, she could not refute him. Timon went on that his place was not with his colony, and though at first reluctant to let him go, she eventually told him that she hoped he would find what he was looking for. The two shared an embrace, and Timon assured his mother that he would be all right. Timon then set out in search for his dream home.[1]
