Raksha dragged Mowgli back to the den and threw him inside. She stormed in angrily, saying "oh, I should have known this was happening! I should have seen it all!"

"Mom, I..."

"We were making sure Grey stopped being scared!" Raksha scolded as she paced back and forth furiously.

"I know.. we were, but that was before I... oh, it's all gotten so out of hand."

"So, you sneaking off every morning? Coming back smelling of fish? This is where you were going!"

"Yeah, okay. I messed this up. We all did. We should have told you, before now. But just... take this out on me, get mad at me, but please... just don't hurt Bahan!"

Raksha turned back angrily, saying "the tiger? That's what you're worried about? Not the porcupine? Not the brother you almost killed?!"

"She was just scared... she's not dangerous!"

"Akela is DEAD BECAUSE OF THEM!"

"SHERE KHAN WAS NOT THEM!" Mowgli shouted back. As Raksha groaned and stepped back, Mowgli said "we found her all alone in the jungle. Her father died protecting her, just like mine!"

"I don't care! What matters is the safety of our pack, and by bringing that... thing here, you've compromised just that!"

"Compromised the safety? What has she done wrong?!"

"I can't believe you, Mowgli! First, you lie to me, then you defend a dangerous beast! Akela would be ashamed of you!"

"You sure it's me Akela's ashamed of?!"

These words hit Raksha hard. She angrily said "fine then, we won't hurt her. Instead your pet can spend the rest of her life in a cage!"

"What? No, you can't do th... it's not right!" Mowgli said as Raksha pushed past him and started walking towards the exit. "Mom... no, don't... you can't do this! LISTEN TO ME!"

As Mowgli grabbed Raksha, the wolf turned back and snarled at him, causing Mowgli to back up in fear. "You've brought her here. Nearly got Grey killed. Yet you dare compare me to Akela. You've betrayed us all. You're no longer a part of this pack, and you're no longer my son!"

"I never was." Mowgli said as Raksha left the den. He heard Raksha say "secure the cage and make sure that tiger never escapes!" as she stepped outside.

When Raksha was out in the sunlight, she thought about her argument with Mowgli, and was taken back in shock by what she had said. She was almost tempted to return to the den and take aback what she had said, but ultimately decided now was not the time.

Later on, Mowgli and Bagheera watched from a cliff as Bahan's cage was positioned near to Council Rock. The panther sighed in regret, before a voice said "well, this is all a mess." as Baloo joined them.

Mowgli groaned, and said "why couldn't I just leave her on that boat when I found her. It would have been better for us all."

"If I'd known what was going to happen, I would have walked away." Bagheera said. "But I don't regret meeting her. And neither should you, Mowgli."

"But Bagheera, look what happened. Now Bahan's gonna spend the rest of her life in a cage because of us... because of me."

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Baloo said. "What do you mean, Baloo?"

"We gotta break her out."

"We can't do that." Bagheera said. "She's being guarded by a pack of wolves and a pack of dholes. Not to mention that there's only three of us."

"Uh, I count seven, actually." Ikki said as he, the pygmy hog, the squirrel and the pangolin arrived. "What are you guys doing here?" Mowgli asked, as Baloo said "I brought 'em here, kid. They've come to help."

"Anything we can do to get that cub safe, we'll do it!" the squirrel said, before the pygmy hog added "we're busting her outta there! Tonight."

"How?" Mowgli said, before Baloo answered "don't worry kid. I've got myself a plan. And everybody here plays a part too."
