The Legend of Tarzan — Season 1, Episode 15: Tarzan and the Protege

Episode synopsis

Doctor Robin Doyle returns to the jungle with her nephew Ian, a bookish child with few friends who spends his time collecting butterflies. While Robin and the Professor spend some quality time "spooning", the task of entertaining Ian falls to Tarzan, whom Ian sees as a much-needed role model. Lacking any other experience, Tarzan fills the day with activities he enjoyed as a child, and it's not long before the boy has discarded his formal trappings for a loincloth. None of this sits quite well with Jane, who worries about the dangers of a small child swinging recklessly from tree to tree—and what the good doctor will say when she finds out.

About The Legend of Tarzan

The Legend of Tarzan picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes following Kerchak's death, and Jane adjusting to life in the jungle. Rounding out the cast are Jane's father, Professor Archimedes Porter; Tantor, the germophobic elephant; and Terk, a wisecracking female gorilla and Tarzan's old wrestling buddy.
