Scar was injured and driven away, but he didn't die. Now he's back and he wants revenge. He attacks Simba when no one's around but Kovu, expecting his adopted son to help him. However,Kovu defends Simba. Afterwards, Kovu feels guilty that he hurt Scar and then guilty that he feels guilty because he doesn't think he should mourn for his evil foster father. Simba lets him know that it's okay to feel conflicted.

Kovu had thought he was seeing things when the dark lion leaped, claws outstretched, lips drawn back in a wordless snarl. It can't be, he'd thought blankly, you died when I was still a - but his paws were more sensible. He was already racing towards Simba and the ambush. A fraction of a second later, he found his voice again. "Watch out

Kovu walked with Simba as far as Rafiki's tree, stayed long enough to be checked for injuries, and then slunk off dejectedly. Simba tried to talk to him, to thank him, even to get him talking. Kovu was distantly aware that the older lion was pushing aside his own worries and fatigue to do it, but he couldn't listen, and much less speak. Pain was something you licked in private, if you had to. If it showed where other lions could see, they could bite you again at the weak point, and harder next time. Kovu didn't really expect Simba to do that. Danger still felt like danger, though. So he wanted, more than anything, to just be alone

"If you're not going to kill him, someone needs to take him meat." Kovu said later, eyes flat.
"That's already done. For now, it's you I'm worried about." Simba said.
Kovu took another disinterested bite of antelope. "I bit my own father." He said, as if that explained everything. Then he changed his mind and kept talking. "He's hurt. He's trapped. You're alive. And he's probably going to hate me forever for taking your side against him." Kovu put his head down to the carcass again and sort of sniffed it, blood sticking to his whiskers and nose before he said, very quietly, "I feel like an idiot for caring."
"You're not," Simba said. "I was a lot luckier about role models than you. But I grew up with Scar. I used to think he'd actually been looking out for me. Coming back and setting things right was the hardest thing I've ever done. And it ..." he swallowed, throat dry. "You don't stop feeling like someone is there for you, or like they should be, or like if they aren't maybe it's your fault, just because you learn otherwise. The
