When Makuu is revealed to be alive and well and forgiving towards those who wronged him, she lets out a large cheer as the summit continues. In an effort to find out who's plotting against Makuu, Kion convincingly tells the leaders that Makuu completed his journey through the Circle of Life, with Ma Tembo expressing sadness. She then heads to Mizimu Grove, eventually getting comfortable and snuggling up to everyone during the song, Welcome to the Summit. She is one of the few animals that accepts Makuu being at the event. Ma Tembo hugs Bupu in "Everyone is Welcome".Ma Tembo is seen heading towards Pride Rock for the Savannah Summit with several other leaders, including Makuu. Simba suggests that his family joins him in singing a special song from his past and Ma Tembo and the elephants happily agree.

Ma Tembo is seen washing at the Watering Hole as Beshte and Bunga do their routine morning patrol. She admits that her father did indeed have 'poop' on him, and then thanks Simba, whilst recalling amusing times with her father. She listens to Simba's mistake in speaking Elephantese, and, although at first appears surprised, she simply laughs. Later, she announces that Simba will be saying a few words about her father. She watches the other elephants pay their tributes and smiles when a baby elephant lays some flowers down upon the corpse of her late father. With Simba at the funeral Ma Tembo is seen at her father's funeral with the rest of her herd. Ma Tembo perseveres through difficult times.
