Mowgli exacts his revenge on the village and its people who threatened the lives of his adopted parents

In the second of three parts of "Letting In The Jungle," Mowgli finds his adoptive parents bound and gagged, and about to be killed for harboring him. Mowgli frees them and sets them on a route to safety while staging a fright for the villagers. 

Episode 7 of The Jungle Book:  After fulfilling his vow to kill the tiger Shere Khan and to lay his hide upon the wolfpack's Council Rock, Mowgli and his wolf brothers sense that the villagers, led by their chief hunter, are hunting for Mowgli, to kill him before dealing with Mowgli's adoptive parents.

In Episode 6, "Tiger! Tiger!", Mowgli, with the help of his wolf brothers, defeats Shere Khan by corralling the village buffalo herd and trampling the tiger to death. After skinning him, Mowgli takes Shere Khan's pelt to the Council Rock, proof that Mowgli kept his word that one day he would kill Shere Khan.
