Avatar Episode - The Awakening

Aang wakes up, heavily bandaged and, unaware of it, full of hair, and finds himself on a fire nation ship. He tries to get out but can do nothing but limp. He limps out and finds two fire nation soldier. He tries to blow them away with airbending, but they don't get blown away. He limps out of the ship very fast but trips and finds himself in front of two soldiers petting Momo. He wonders what is going then Toph calls out to him and everyone gathers around him. Aang wonders if this is a dream and Katara assures him this isn't a dream. Sokka then greets Aang happily. And Aang suddenly faints.

Meanwhile, on another fire nation ship, Zuko stands out looking at the sea and Mai comes to him and asks him if he's cold. Zuko starts telling that he's been banished from the fire nation for three years. Then he wonders if things have changed. Mai interrupts by saying she was only asking if he was cold not to hear a life story. She approaches near him and tells him to stop worrying and kisses him, then walks away.

Aang asks why are they on a fire nation ship and why is everyone dressing as a fire nation soldiers and why Aang doesn't know about this. Katara tells him to take it easy and explains that he got hurt pretty badly. She mentions that she likes Aang's hair. Aang is surprised to hear it and asks how long has he been knocked out. Katara answers by telling him that he's been knocked out for a few weeks. Hakoda, Katara's and Sokka's father, asks if everything is okay. Katara replies with a slight tone of anger that everything is fine. Hakoda introduces himself to Aang, but Katara tells his father that Aang knows who he is because Katara called him dad with the same tone. Aang replies to Hakoda it is nice to officially meet him. Katara interrupts impatiently that they know each other and asks for privacy. Hakoda walks away and Aang asks if Katara is mad at her father, Katara replies she isn't and asks Aang what made him say that. Aang replies he doesn't know and soon clutches his ribs in pain. Katara suggests that she should start healing him. They go into the same room and she starts healing Aang at the area where Azula struck him. Aang starts telling where it hurts the most. He soon gets a flashback of what happened to him. Katara finishes healing Aang and removes the healing water out of Aang and at that moment, Aang remembers what happened. He remembers that he was gone. But Katara brought him back with healing. He told her that she saved him. Katara tells him that he should get some rest.

Meanwhile, Lo and Li announces about Azula's greatest conquer of Ba Sing Se. They also announce that both Azula and Zuko had returned and slain the Avatar.

On the fire nation ship, Sokka explains to Aang what happened after the escape in Ba Sing Se. They flew to Chameleon Bay and met up with Hakoda and the other water tribe warriors. The Earth King decided to travel into the wild with Bosco. When the Bay was overrun by the fire nation ships, they manage to board one of them and traveled in disguise. Since then, they traveled west; crossing through the Serpent’s Pass and have successfully passed the fire nation ships without being discovered. They also continued to modify Sokka’s plan of invading the fire nation on the solar eclipse. They plan to fight with only their old allies, such as Pipsqueak and the Duke. But to make things worse for Aang, their secret to the plan is that the whole world thinks he is dead. Sokka sees this as an advantage as the fire nation won’t be looking for them, but Aang doesn’t approve of this secret. As a fire nation ship floats by, Aang prepares to fight, but Katara assures him that they’ll talk their way out or their cover will be blown. As the rest hide, including Appa, Hakoda and Bato confronts three fire nation soldier. Hakoda tells that they’re from the eastern fleet so they would be delivering cargo instead of helping occupy Ba Sing Se. The leader almost falls for it. When the discussion ends, one of the soldier tells the leader a piece of evidence that they could be lying. They plan to sink the ship after they make it to their own. Toph discovers that they know that Hakoda was lying and metalbends the gangway down. The fire nation ship fires a giant fireball at the Aang and his friends.

Meanwhile, Zuko is seen at the pond feeding turtleducks like in “Zuko Alone.” Azula approaches to Azula and sees that Zuko is feeling a bit worried and Mai is in an unusually good mood. Zuko confesses that he is worried that Fire Lord Ozai won’t restore Zuko’s honor because he didn’t capture the Avatar. Azula assures him that Avatar is dead but asks him suspiciously that the Avatar could have made it out alive. Zuko recalls Katara telling him about the Spirit Oasis Water with healing power. Zuko lies that there is no way Aang could’ve survived. Azula looks at him suspiciously and tells him there isn’t anything he needs to worry about. She then walks away.

Back at the ship with Aang and his friends, fireballs are still being hurled at their ship. Aang’s friends start fighting back and Toph asks how are they doing. Sokka comments that things couldn’t get worse. Just then, the serpent from the Serpent’s Pass appeared making Sokka say that the universe loves proving him wrong. A fireball is hurled at the serpent and starts attacking the enemy fire nation ship. After they manage to get away, they dock in the port. Sokka, Katara, and Toph comes in and asks if Aang is hungry. Aang wants food but doesn’t want to go out there if he can’t wear his airbending arrow proudly. Katara tells the others to go and talks with Aang. Katara starts off telling she knows how Aang feels about being a secret. Aang confesses that he doesn’t like being a secret because he feels that he did fail everyone who needed him. Aang tells Katara that he should face the fire lord alone because he doesn’t want his friends to fix his mistake. Katara leaves and Aang says that he needs his honor, making him sound like Zuko.

Zuko is seen walking to the fire lord’s chamber. He hesitates to go in there but soon he does and faces the fire lord.

Katara walks into Aang’s room bringing him food only to find he’s gone. Katara knows why Aang has left and runs out of the room while Aang is seen flying off.

Zuko bows to his father and his father says that Zuko has been gone for three years. He tells Zuko that he has redeemed himself and welcomes Zuko home, with his face finally seen.

Aang is seen flying across the sea with his glider. Katara is running to her father and tells what Aang has done and the reason was because he was being selfish. Hakoda knows that she is also describing himself. Hakoda confesses that he was sad and lonely because he misses Katara and Sokka during his time at the war.

Fire Lord Ozai says that he is proud of Zuko that he and Azula conquered Ba Sing Se and that he captured Iroh, considered a traitor, but most importantly, Zuko has slain the Avatar. Zuko knows this is a lie and asks where he heard from it. Ozai tells Zuko he heard it from Azula and compliments him.

Aang is still flying over the sea and manages to pass the fire nation blockade. He manages to speed up his travel using a log and his glider as a windsurfer but loses his glider.

That night, Zuko comes into Azula’s room, while she is sleeping, and asks why she told their father that he killed the Avatar. Azula tells that she wanted Zuko to have some glory so that he had nothing to worry about. Zuko knows that she is planning something but doesn’t know what. Azula asks what she could gain for giving the glory to Zuko that he killed the Avatar unless he survived. The glory would turn to shame then. But she recalls that Zuko told her that there was no way the Avatar survived. Zuko goes out of Azula’s room.

Aang is stranded at sea, without any hope. Aang believes he has failed. Suddenly, Avatar Roku appears to him and confesses to Aang that he is the one who failed, because he couldn’t stop the war before it began. Aang still isn’t confident, but Yue also appears and tells him not to give up. Aang says that she is right and he won’t give up. He waterbends the ocean to make a wave to travel. Yue speeds up Aang’s travel by helping to build the wave. Aang is seen at the shore of the island where Roku’s temple was destroyed. He finds Momo on top of him and Sokka, Toph and Katara finds him too. Aang’s friends tell that they will help Aang on his quest to invade the fire nation. Aang agree's. Then Toph finds Aang’s broken staff and gives it back to him. Aang decides that he can't have it or their plan will fail If the Fire Nation knew the avatar was died. He puts his staff on top of the mountain and lets it burn, ending the chapter.

Avatar Episode - The Crossroads of Destiny

Everyone races against time to stop Azula's sinister plan. Zuko finds companionship in an unlikely source.Katara spends more time with Zuko, who learns the time has come to make a choice about his future. Aang's destiny hangs in the balance and so does Zuko's, as Iroh tells him "it is time to choose."

Avatar Episode - The Guru

It is the morning, and Iroh is at work slaving over a hot stove preparing what he calls, “Jook.” Zuko walks into the room, yawns, and comments on the smell of the jook. Iroh says that he will not like the stuff, but Zuko contradicts him, smelling it and saying it smells good. Iroh is somewhat confused, and makes mention of the fact that Zuko has changed greatly since he recovered from the fever he had in The Earth King. Zuko just smiles, and becomes very optimistic: It is a new day, in fact the day of the Grand Opening of Iroh’s new tea shop, and they have a wonderful new apartment, and Zuko only has high thoughts about it all.

At the same time, Aang and Sokka land at the mouth of Chameleon Bay, where they were told that Sokka’s father Hakoda and the rest of the Southern Water Tribe Warriors are. Sokka is very nervous, but Aang tries to calm him down, and succeeds somewhat. Sokka questions Aang on his feelings towards him meeting Guru Pathik to master the Avatar State. Aang smiles, and says that he is ready to master the Avatar State. He then takes off on Appa, shouting back to Sokka that he will see him in a week.
Sokka walks into the base, and is greeted with warm and welcome arms by the warriors of the Southern Water Tribe, who all seem to recognize him. After some laughs, the warriors point him off to a tent. Sokka takes a breath, and walks into the tent. He sees several Water Tribesmen, one of which is Bato, who we last saw in Bato of the Water Tribe His arm is burnt red (apparently the injury he received back in Book: Water) and he nudges a man who is seated center. The man looks up, in surprise, and says in disbelief, “Sokka.” Sokka smiles, and replies “Hi Dad,” and the man (Sokka’s dad Hakoda) rises up to embrace his son, who just smiles and rubs his face against his father’s chest.
Back in Ba Sing Se, the Earth King is entertaining Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, still disguised as the Warriors of Kyoshi. He tells them of Long Feng, and how he lied to him and had been planning on taking over the city, to which Azula remarks that it is so terrible when you cannot trust those closest to you. He says that there is good news, and proceeds to tell Azula that The Council of Five, the highest ranking Earth Kingdom generals, are planning an invasion of the Fire Nation during the summer, on the Day of the Black Sun; the solar eclipse. Her eyes widen, and she acts surprised, saying how fascinating the plan is.
At that exact moment, the Council of Five is going over the Invasion Plan with Katara and Momo. General How says that General Fong’s base (that we saw first in The Avatar State) will be the staging point of the attack, and they will send in troops: As he says this, he moves three pillars colored green with the symbol of the Earth Kingdom onto the Fire Nation with Earthbending. Momo suddenly appears, running a muck across the war map, knocking down the pillars. Laughing, Katara says that they could just send in Momo; however, the Council does not find this amusing, and with a simple closed fist, all of the pillars stand back up, scaring away Momo. General How takes a scroll and earthbends it to Katara atop a chunk of rock from their table, and says that all they need is the Seal of the Earth King himself to finalize the plan. Katara takes the scroll, and says that she will take it to him immediately.
Aang finally arrives at the Eastern Air Temple, and finds Guru Pathik meditating atop the same pillar we saw him on in Appa's Lost Days. When Aang asks him if he is the same Guru who sent the letter attached to him, and we learn that Guru Pathik was a spiritual brother to the Air Monks, and a good close friend to Monk Gyatso. Aang ask him how he plans on teaching Aang how to gain control of the Avatar State., to which Guru replies that he must first bring balance to himself before he can bring balance to the world. To start it all off, Pathik tells him he must drink this yellow liquid. Just as Aang starts to drink the liquid, he spits it out violently, and says that it taste like, “onion and banana juice.” The Guru tells him that is because it is onion and banana juice, and he puts the bowl on his head and says in a sing-song voice, “Yum yum yum.”
Out on a road, an ostrich is pulling a cart carrying Master Yu and Xin Fu as well as Toph who is trapped within a huge metal box. The two up front are arguing about which to go in order to back to the Beifong estate, Toph’s home, when Toph tells the, “two old ladies” to stop arguing and let her out to go to the bathroom. Master Yu starts to get up to let her out, but Xin Fu tells him that it is a trick, to which he tells Toph he is not letting her out. Toph pounds against the cage she is in, only infuriating Xin Fu more, who tells her that no matter how good an Earthbender she thinks she is she cannot bend metal.
Back in Ba Sing Se, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee are undressing, when Azula presents the s an idea: She says that they have a perfect opportunity to bring down the Earth Kingdom, and that for 100 years, her people have been hammering away from the outside. Now, they are in the inside, the perfect position to stage a coup and overthrow the Earth King. The key to all of this, according to Azula, is the Dai Li, the arm of Long Feng, first seen in City of Walls and Secrets.
Back at the Eastern Air Temple, Guru Pathik is beginning Aang’s instruction of the chakras: Chakras are nexuses of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy residing in the human body. In order to master the Avatar State, Pathik says that you must first open the chakras of the body. First, he asks Aang what he knows about chakras, however, when Aang rubs his eyes and asks what chakras are, Pathik starts at the very beginning. Using a pond clogged with algae he successfully explains to Aang the concept of chakras, and the two move on to open the chakras.
There are seven chakras going up the body, each with a purpose and each with a different blockage: An intense sensation results from the opening of them all, you can not stop opening them once you have opened one until all seven are open. Aang accepts and they begin the process.
The first chakra is the Earth Chakra, located at the base of the spine. It deals with Survival, and is blocked by Fear. Aang goes into meditation, and is surrounded by fire, sitting before a man who appears to be either Fire Lord Ozai or Prince Zuko. After clearing his thoughts, the images disappear, and Aang gives a sigh of relief as he comes out of meditation. Guru Pathik congratulates Aang, and tells him the first chakra has been opened, to which Aang gives another
The second charka is the Water Chakra, which deals with Pleasure, and is blocked by Guilt. When asked what he blames himself for, Aang says it is that he ran away upon finding out he was the Avatar, and that he hurt all of these people at General Fong’s base in The Avatar State. Pathik says to accept the reality that these things have happened, and do not let them cloud your judgment and poison your energy. In order to become a positive influence for the world, Aang must forgive himself for these things. Aang slips into meditation again, and we are left seeing his silhouette.
Back in Chameleon Bay, Sokka, his father Hakoda, and the rest of the Warriors are preparing what are called Tangle Mines. Comprised of a buoyant casing around an e mine, they are filled with Stockfish and Seaweed. Upon detonation, the seaweed entangles the Fire Nation ships, immobilizing them, and then the smell of the Stockfish forces the soldiers to abandon ship. Hakoda calls the plan, “The Stink and Sink,” to which Sokka explodes with laughter, and Bato just sighs and says that Sokka is definitely his father’s son.
A scouting party returns to inform the warriors of the presence of three Fire Nation ships, and Hakoda tells Bato to finish preparing the mines, and the rest of the warriors to prepare for battle. Sokka watches as everyone runs off to get ready, and then asks Hakoda what he is supposed to do. In a slightly irritated, yet jokingly tone, Hakoda says, “Aren’t you listening, I said the rest of you men get ready for battle,” to which Sokka can only smile and follow orders.
Once again, in Ba Sing Se, The Jasmine Dragon is finally opening, and Iroh and Zuko stand proudly as people come into their tea shop. Iroh says that he is in disbelief that as coming to the city as refugees that he would own his own tea shop. He tells Zuko to follow his dreams, and Zuko can only congratulate his uncle, who expresses great pride. Zuko thinks it is for finally owning a tea shop, but Zuko tells him it is from Zuko deciding to share this special day with him. Zuko runs off, with his new found optimism to start making tea, to which Iroh responds with a grin and a shout. “Let’s Make some Tea!”
Third is the Fire Chakra, which is located in the stomach. Aang’s stomach bles, and he says sarcastically, “My Fire Chakra would like to eat something besides onions and banana juice. Pathik laughs heartily, and says, “Good one…Moving along,” and begins to explain the fire chakra: Dealing with Willpower, the Fire Chakra is blocked by shame. Aang has a vision of when he first attempted Firebending, and severely burned Katara’s hands (In The Deserter. He tells Pathik that he will never Firebend again, who just responds that in order to obtain Balance, you must accept all aspects of your life: Aang is the Avatar, and therefore a Firebender. With a slight breathe in and an exhale, Pathik comments that the third chakra opened less like a flowing creek and more like a burping bison.” Aang gives a huge burp, and says that it tasted like onions and bananas, and strangely like something else, which he thinks is pickles,
On the steps of the Palace, Mai and Ty Lee are relaxing. Mai complains about her outfit, and how it is y and she does not understand how anyone can fight in them, and she also complains about cleaning up bear poop. Ty Lee then spills the entire plan, to which Mai tells her to be quiet. We see some agents of the Dai Li climb up some poles, as they were listening in the whole time. Once they are gone, Azula emerges and tells the s good job, and that the Dai Li will surely deliver the message to Long Feng.
Aang and Pathik have now moved on to open the fourth chakra. Located in the heart, this chakra deals with Love, and is blocked by Grief. Laying his grief before him, Aang sees all of the Air Monks he knew, all of whom died because he abandoned them all. They fade away, and become dust. Love, according to Pathik, is a form of energy, and flows around us, and that their Love for Aang is still all around them and manifests itself inside of new love: The Love Aang has for Katara is an example of this new love. Aang, wiping away his tears and with a weakened sweet voice, asks politely if he can have some more onion banana juice.
The fifth Chakra is the Sound Charka, and is located in the throat. It deals with Truth, and is blocked by the Lies we tell ourselves. Pathik says that we must accept what we are, and that Aang must accept he is the Avatar, even though he never wanted to be. With a sigh, and a vision, Aang accepts he is the Avatar, and he opens the Chakra of Truth.
Located in the center of the forehead, the sixth Chakra of Light is responsible for Insight, and is blocked by Illusions. The greatest Illusion is that of Separation: Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. Aang mentions the Four Nations, and Pathik says that everyone is part of One People, yet we live as separate people. Even the Separation of the Four Elements is an illusion; four parts of the same whole. He mentions metal, which is simply Earth which has been purified by Fire. We are then shown Toph, who is continuing to bash her hands into the metal walls of her cell, realizing as she continues to bash that the metal contains Earth, which she can bend. Continuing to push, she finally manages to bend the metal, which she exalts that she “rules”
Again back in Ba Sing Se, Katara and Momo, just before going to see the Earth King, decide to stop at a new tea house for a cup or two. When waiting to be seated, Katara hears and sees Zuko ordered tea from Iroh in the back, and she gasps before running off to warn the Earth King.
Finally Aang is at the Seventh Chakra, the last, the Chakra which will enable Aang to be able to go in and out of the Avatar State, as well as having complete awareness of all things occurring in the Avatar State. Called the Thought Chakra, it is located at the crown of the head, and deals with Cosmic Energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Aang is asked to meditate on what he is attached to, and only images of Katara flood his mind, and Pathik asks for Aang to let go off his attachments. Aang suddenly becomes angry, asking how he can let go of Katara, when he loves her. He is also confused about why he would take Cosmic Energy over the Love of Katara and how attachment is bad now when attachment was good 3 chakras ago. According to Pathik, if Aang ever wants the pure Cosmic Energy to enter him, he must let go of all earthy attachments, including Katara
Running into the Palace, Katara tells "Suki", that the Fire Nation has infiltrated the city, and that Prince Zuko and Uncle Iroh are here as well. She tells how they need to inform the Earth King, but “Suki” comes forth, Katara immediately recognizes her as Azula, and before she can even attack, Ty Lee hurtles into the air and disables Katara. Lying on the ground in a pool of water, Katara is helpless as Azula plans a little family reunion with “Zuzu.”
The argument continues back at the Eastern Air Temple, with Pathik telling him he must open all of the chakras to master the Avatar State. Aang decides to at least try, and he begins to let go. An image of Katara disappears into space, and Aang is taken high above the planet to walk along a purple stream of cosmic energy, radiating from the Avatar State, which is shown as a shirtless Aang whose s are glowing. Walking towards the Avatar State, Aang is suddenly shocked to see an image of Katara, struggling in chains, screaming for help. He abandons the Avatar State, and begins running back to the planet. The stream of cosmic energy gives out, and Aang falls back. Jolting awake, he says that Katara is in trouble and that he must go back to Ba Sing Se. Pathik stops him, telling him that now, by choosing Attachment, the chakra is locked, and that if he leaves now, he will never be able to enter the Avatar State at all. Aang simple drops his head before leaping away.
Back on the road, there is a loud tearing sound, and Master Yu and Xin Fu decide to investigate. Upon seeing the massive hole in the container, Master Yu says it is a trick, but Xin Fu corrects him rather angry at the whole remark. Just then, Toph emerges to send two giant slabs of rock up out of the ground, trapping the two men, and then throwing them inside the container. Once she closes the metal walls, she exclaims to all the world, “I am the greatest Earthbender of all, and don’t you two dunderheads forget it.” She makes a huge ball of earth, and proceeds to run away atop it, almost like surfing. As she escapes, Xin Fu groans that he is going to be trapped inside the container forever, to which Master Yu moans “I have to go to the bathroom.”
Sokka and the rest of the Water Tribe Warriors are finishing up backing their boats for war. Sokka tells Hakoda that he is going to make him proud and prove what a great warrior he is, and Hakoda places his hand atop his son’s shoulder: Telling him that he has always been proud of Sokka, and he knew he was a great warrior, which was the reason why he left Sokka in charge of the tribe. Just as they are about to embark, Sokka sees Appa and Aang, who land next to him on the beach. One look from Aang is all that was needed in order for Sokka to say, “This can’t be good news.” We see Appa take off, with Sokka and Aang onboard, with Sokka looking back at his father, who is looking back up at his son.
Being carted down the hall by agents of the Dai Li, Azula continues to resist. Taken into Long Feng’s cell, she demands to know why she has been taken out of her bed in the middle of the night, and how this is not the way you treat a Kyoshi Warrior. Long Feng smiles, and tells her he knows exactly who she is and how he wants to make a deal. Since Azula has the Earth Kings trust, and Long Feng promises her the Avatar, she intently listens in.
At the Jasmine Dragon, Iroh and Zuko receive wonderful news: They have been invited to serve tea to the Earth King. Zuko smiles as he continues sweeping the floors, apparently content in his new life. Back in Long Feng’s cell, a deal has been worked out, ands Azula is carted away, a slight coy grin across her face.

Avatar Episode - The Earth King

The gang is happy to have Appa back and after their fight with the Dai Li, find refuge on a small island on Lake Laogai. With Appa back, Sokka wants to fly to the Ba Sing Se Earth King's palace and give him the information on the eclipse and expose the Dai Li. Although Toph and Katara are first skeptical, they all finally agree after seeing ships that are presumably Dai Li searching for them.

While approaching the palace, they are attacked by earth kingdom soldiers. The gang fight their way through the soldiers all along trying to let them know they don't want to fight them and they should all be on the same side. Once inside the palace, they finally reach an inner chamber where they find the Earth King with Long Feng standing beside him. To show they are not attempting to overthrow him, the kids drop their weapons only to be rock-tied behind their backs by the Dai Li soldiers at Long Feng's command. After finally convincing the Earth King that Long Feng is a liar by exposing the bite that Appa left on his leg, the gang then must convince him that there is a war going on. First they take him to Lake Laogai to show him the prison where all the brainwashing was taking place only to find it has been destroyed already, presumably by the Dai Li. Once they cohearse the Earth King to travel to the outer wall on Appa's back, he finally realizes there is a war going on when he looks upon the drill with the Fire Nation emblem. The Earth King orders the Dai Li to arrest Long Feng to face charges of crimes committed against the Earth Kingdom.
Meanwhile, we see Iroh and Zuko returning from Lake Laogai. Zuko begins to get blurred vision and collapses. He is stirred awake by Iroh explaining to him that his actions in freeing the Avatar's Bison have started a reaction inside him and that once he awakes from his turmoil, he will be the beautiful Prince that he was meant to be. Zuko first dreams has him sitting in the Fire Temple's chambers being addressed as Fire Lord Zuko by a blue dragon with Azula's voice. Zuko's scar is gone and the Blue Dragon is trying to get him to sleep but the Red Dragon, with the voice of Iroh, wants him to stay awake and leave. The Blue Dragon tells him to sleep again, just like his mother. Zuko's dream then changes to a vision of his mother asking him for help which he is unable to give as he gets sucked into a black hole.
Back at the palace, Sokka and Aang fill the Earth King in about the comet and the eclipse. He agrees to provide troops to assist in the attack against the Fire Nation. Their meeting is interrupted by General How, the leader of the Counsel of 5, a group of highest ranking Generals. He advises the group that they found items of interest while searching Long Feng’s office. Aang is given the note from the Guru that was attached to Appa’s horns. Toph is given a letter presumably from her mother asking to meet her at a location in Ba Sing Se. Sokka and Katara are given an intelligence report detailing the location of their father. The group decides to split up to follow these leads with Katara staying behind in Ba Sing Se to assist the Earth King with plans to invade the Fire Nation.
As Aang and Sokka are preparing to leave on Appa, they are interrupted when the Earth King approaches them with news of a group of individuals calling themselves Kyoshi Warriors who are asking for an audience with the king. Sokka assures the Earth King that they are valuable and trustworthy allies in the fight against the Fire Nation and he agrees he will greet them as honorable guests. Before leaving, Aang attempts to tell Katara how he feels about her. Sokka breaks into the moment and the gang shares a tender moment together when they realize the won‘t be seeing each other for awhile. Aang and Sokka are seen flying off on Appa with positive thoughts that everything is finally going in the right direction.
Again, we see Zuko waking up and going to splash water on his face. As he brings his face up to look in the mirror, he is shocked to see that he has an airbender's arrow on his bald head and once again, the scar is not present. Zuko jerks awake to realize it was just a dream. He slowly raises his hand to his face, touching below his right eye feeling where the scar is still present.
The scene shifts to a prison, where we see a Dai Li soldier sliding a dinner plate under a door to Long Feng. The soldier states that the military and the Counsel of 5 are loyal to the Earth King but the Dai Li is still loyal to Long Feng.
Back in Ba Sing Se, we see Toph approach a house and knock upon the door. Entering inside calling for her mother, she realizes something is wrong. A large metal coffin drops from the ceiling, enclosing her inside. We see Master Yu and Xin Fu drop from the ceiling and approach the coffin stating that somebody has been a bad wandering so far from home.
We finally see the procession of 3 Kyoshi Warriors approaching the Earth King. As the warriors march past the soldiers, they bow down to present themselves to the king as he welcomes them. The head Kyoshi Warrior raises her head wearing the head piece of Suki, but instead we hear Azula’s voice say, "We are the Earth King’s humble servants." The 3 Kyoshi Warriors are actually revealed to be Azula, Mai and Ty Lee.
