Synopsis:"Beshte befriends an Okapi."

One of the things that makes The Lion Guard great is individuality. Even with everyone getting a chance to shine, there always manages to be a standout character, like here. The episode involves the main characters playing hide and seek when Beshte runs into an Okapi named Ajabu. He wants to introduce him to the rest of the guard, but they think he has an imaginary friend as he keeps running off before they meet in order to avoid a leopard that's after him. This episode takes the "person/animal is there, but the friends don't believe him" plot, and make it work here. They do bring up legitimate points like how weird Ajabu looks like from his description and how Beshte would never joke about something like this. Because Ajabu isn't deliberately trying to mess with them, all six of them remain likable. The best part of the episode is the moral on keeping an open mind to what your friends say, which works due to the bond they all have. With that in mind, I call this a pretty good episode.
