In reality, the hyenas serve as Scar's strength as king. Left destitute, she can do nothing but watch in horror with Zazu and the other lionesses as Scar allows the hyenas to overrun the Pride Lands after giving his oath to protect everyone. Later, when Scar explains to everyone that Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede, Sarabi is nothing short of devastated at her status as a widow and losing her only child (unaware Simba actually survived), as Zazu makes a vain attempt to comfort her by putting a comforting wing on her right paw. Knowing that her son is possibly up to mischief when Simba and Nala want to go to the "waterhole," she sends Zazu along with them to keep watch for any danger. Sarabi appears to be friends with Sarafina, Nala's mother, as her next appearance is with them, sleeping on a rock when Simba arrives to convince Nala to accompany him to an elephant graveyard that his uncle told him about, but waking up and snatching her son before he can escape from his bath. She then watches with a smile on her face as Simba is led to the summit of Pride Rock by his father to be shown his future.

She even goes so far as to suggest something radical for the good of her pride. Even when blamed for problems that are not her fault, Sarabi keeps her temper, remaining fair by refusing to take the blame for Scar's doings.
