(The episode begins with a shot looking up at gray clouds and the camera then pans down, looking between two spire-like towers of the Southern Air Temple at a circular platform with the peaks of mountains peaking above the clouds in the background. Cut to a shot of the Air Temple, looking up from below. Aang runs on screen from the right, pauses and looks both ways, then runs off screen to the left. Cut to a brown curtain. Aang pulls it open, looking at the screen with a surprised expression. Cut to behind Aang as he enters a room, the ceiling collapsed and a figure resembling himself sitting at the far end with his back to the screen. Aang stops. Cut to a close up of the figure at the end of the room, who turns around, revealing himself to be Aang as well. His eyes and the arrow symbol on his head are glowing blue. Cut back to Aang standing at the entrance to the room. Aang gasps. The wind blows violently around Aang. The camera pans over to the other Aang, who is surrounded in an orb of wind. Sokka and Katara are lying in the foreground, shielding themselves from the wind. Cut to a close-up of the glowing Aang, who slams his hands together. Cut back to the shot of Sokka and Katara on the ground. A bright light from Aang envelops them. Cut to the real Aang, who is hit by the powerful blast of wind and thrown backward into the Fire Temple.)

_

Suki: scary

Aang: I know right.

_

(Cut to behind Aang, who watches as the intricate Fire Temple door opens, revealing the glowing Aang hovering behind it. Cut to a close up of the glowing Aang, his clothing billowing in the wind. Cut to a close up of his face, an angry scowl on it. He opens his mouth and fire shoots out, and the camera pans around as he performs a strike with his hand, causing the ground beneath the real Aang to melt. He falls into the chasm.He lands on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Cut to behind Aang, )

Aang: (as he falls) Aaahhh! (He lands on the floor of the fire nation ship) oof!

(who looks up and sees the Water Spirit from "The Siege of the North, Part 2" approaching the ship. Cut to in front of Aang, the camera zooming in on his surprised face. Cut to the glowing Aang, who is surrounded by blue light. He raises an arm, ready to strike. Cut to behind the real Aang, who watches as the water spirit mimics the action. The spirit strikes the ship. Cut to the glowing Aang, who once again does the striking motion that he used to break the ground beneath Aang before.

Aang gasps awake and breathes hard. He is in a fur hammock beneath the deck of a ship. Cut to a scene of the entire room. Four such hammocks, two on each side, are in the room. Aang sits on the upper left, with Katara lying asleep in the lower right. Cut to a scene of Aang breathing hard. He jumps down from his hammock. Cut to a scene of him climbing a ladder with Katara in the foreground. She rises as he exits the screen.)

Katara: Aang?

(Cut to a close up of Katara's face. Cut to full view of the ship. Cut again to above deck. Katara approaches Aang, who is looking out over the ocean.)

Katara: Do you wanna talk about it?

Aang: Nah. Just a nightmare.

(Cut to a close-up of Aang's face from above. He looks up at the camera as he talks.)

Aang: (unsettled) I was in the Avatar state, but I was outside my body watching myself. It was scary. I was scary.

_

Suki: aw poor Aang.

_

(Katara puts her hand on Aang's shoulder and looks out over the ocean.

(Scene ends 48 sec)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Cut to the same ship next morning. Master Pakku is on the deck of the ship with several other men from the Northern Water Tribe. He reaches into a bag and pulls out a triangle-shaped amulet.)

Master Pakku: (in a serious and ceremonial manner) Katara, I want you to have this. (Cut to a close-up of the amulet, showing that it is a triangle with a wave-shaped pattern of blue color with a crescent moon on the top.) This amulet contains water from the Spirit Oasis. (Cut to behind Master Pakku as he hands the amulet to Katara, who is standing in front of Appa and next to Aang.) The water has unique properties. Don't lose it. (His face softens.)

_

Zuko: that's how u got the that.

Katara: yup.

_

Katara: (respectfully) Thank you, Master Pakku.

(She embraces him and then walks off screen. Aang steps forward and Master Pakku produces an intricately-decorated brown box.)

Master Pakku: Aang, these scrolls will help you master waterbending, but remember they're no substitute for a real master.

(Aang looks up at Katara, who is on top of Appa, and then exits to the left as Sokka steps forward.)

Master Pakku: Sokka. (Sokka looks at him proudly and expectantly.) Take care, son.

_

Toph:hahaha.

Sokka: 😑😑😑

_

(Pakku pats Sokka's arm, giving him nothing. Sokka's expression becomes very dejected and embarrassed.)

Master Pakku: Fly straight to the Earth Kingdom base to the east of here. General Fong will provide you with an escort to Omashu. There you'll be safe to begin your earthbending training with King Bumi.

_

Toph: well that didn't happen.

Aang: u got that right.

Katara: oh now I remember. I think I know now what this episode is about.

Aang: yea general fong 😕😕😕

Sokka: yea.

_

Aang: Appa, yip yip!

(Aang pulls the reigns and Appa lifts off. Cut to behind Master Pakku as he waves goodbye.)

Katara: (calls back as they fly off) Say hi to Gran Gran for me! (Cut to a scene looking down at the ship as Appa flies toward the screen.)

(scene ends 52 seconds)

(Cut to a bathhouse stretching over a wide river. Cut to a scene of blossoming cherry trees. The camera pans down, revealing Iroh lying on his back.)

Iroh: (contentedly, as he receives a massage from two attendants. Halfway through the speech the scene changes to show Zuko sitting to the side, his face concealed by a hat.) Aaahhh... this is what I've been missing. Who knew floating on a piece of driftwood for three weeks with no food or water and sea vultures waiting to pluck out your liver could make one so tense?

(He casts a glance at Zuko and walks over to sit beside him on the floor.)

Iroh: I see. It's the anniversary, isn't it?

(Cut to a close-up of Zuko's face, still hidden under the wide-brimmed hat.)

Zuko: (dejectedly) Three years ago today I was banished. I lost it all. (He looks up suddenly.) I want it back. I want the Avatar, I want my honor, I want my throne. I want my father not to think I'm worthless.

_

Zuko: well I got that all back but not in the way I thought I would.

Aang: u sure did buddy.😁😁😁

Zuko:🙂

(Honor-14)

_

Iroh: (with exaggerated optimism) I'm sure he doesn't! Why would he banish you if he didn't care?

_

Suki: that came out wrong.

Zuko: nope

_

(Zuko gets up and walks away. Cut to Iroh's surprised face with the attendants in the background.)

Iroh: (negatively to himself) Erg... that came out wrong, didn't it?

_

Toph: yup

_

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Cut to Azula's warship. Two lines of red armor-clad Fire Nation soldiers are standing on the deck, and fall to their knees as the elaborate cabin opens at the edge of the ship. Cut to a scene of four servants carrying a curtained platform between the lines of soldiers. They stop at the top of the stairs and pull apart the curtains, revealing Azula. Cut to a scene of her feet stepping out. Cut to behind her as she examines her soldiers. She raises a hand, then looks at the two rows. They rise and she begins to walk between them.)

_

Suki: oh I forgot about azula.

Katara: same.

_

Azula: (to her men) My brother and my uncle have disgraced the Fire Lord and brought shame on all of us. You may have mixed feelings about attacking members of the royal family; I understand. But I assure you, if you hesitate, I will not hesitate to bring you down. Dismissed.

_

Everyone had shivers down their spines.

_

(The troops quickly run off to the left, and a lone soldier approaches

Captain: (respectfully) Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship in to port before nightfall.

(Cut to in front of Azula with the captain behind her. She turns and walks to the left as she speaks.)

Azula: I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me?

(Cut to a profile of the captain.)

Captain: Of course, Your Highness.

(Cut to in front of Azula.)

Azula: Do the tides command this ship?

Captain: Uh... I'm afraid I do not understand.

Azula: (condescendingly) You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. Do the tides command this ship?

(Cut back to the profile of the captain, who looks over at Azula nervously.)

Captain: No, Princess.

(Cut to behind Azula looking out over the ocean.)

Azula: And if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore?

(Cut to profile of the captain, who gulps and closes his eyes.)

Captain: (nervously) No, Princess.

(Cut once more to behind Azula. She pushes a strand of hair from her face, then turns around while speaking.)

Azula: Well, then, maybe you should worry less about the tides who've already made up their mind about killing you and worry more about me, who's still mulling it over.

_

Everyone:😰😰😰😨😰😨😨😨😨

Aang: hhhhuhh I just got shivers down my spine.

Everyone else: same.

_

Captain: (quickly) I'll pull us in. (The captain bows respectfully and runs off toward the cabin. Azula glares at him as he leaves.)

(Cut to Appa flying. Sokka leans on the edge looking bored, then suddenly stands up, looking excited. Cut to behind Appa overlooking the mountainous landscape. A circular, walled tower comes into view.)

Sokka: (excitedly) There it is!

(Cut to a closer view of the walled tower from above. Appa flied down toward it. Cut to a profile of the wall. Appa lands inside. Cut to a bearded man in a green cap and brown and green armor who steps forward.)

General Fong: (graciously) Welcome, Avatar Aang!

(Cut to a scene of Sokka stretching, Katara bringing their supplies down from Appa, and Aang rubbing his behind. )

_

Toph: ha lol

_

(They stop and look up at the General Fong. Cut back to Fong, who bows along with numerous soldiers behind him, then spreads his arms in greeting.)

General Fong: I am General Fong. And welcome to all of you, great heroes! (Cut to the heroes as he mentions their names.) Appa, Momo, brave Sokka, the mighty Katara.

Katara: (pleased) "Mighty Katara"? I like that.

_

Toph: of course you do.

Kataram wouldn't you be also.

Toph: I guess your right.

_

(Fireworks explode behind them, and the three turn to look at them. A group of four Earthbenders step forward, lifting small, green orbs from the ground and launching them into the air with their fists. Cut to a wide view of the tower with fireworks in the background. Cut back to Aang, Katara, and Sokka, who look amazed.)

Sokka: Not bad, not bad.

(Cut to inside of the base. The room is large, with green-lit columns on each side of a central walkway. A desk is seen at the far end, with a large banner showing a green circle and a brown square inside of it hanging from the ceiling. Aang, Sokka, and Katara sit in the center of the room on a mat, with Fong at the desk. The camera zooms in closer to them.)

General Fong: Avatar Aang, we were all amazed at the stories of how you single-handedly wiped out an entire Fire Navy fleet at the North Pole. (Close up of Fong, stroking his beard thoughtfully) I can't imagine what it feels like to wield such devastating power. (He stops stroking.) It's an awesome responsibility.

(Cut to the three friends on the mat.)

Aang: (humbly) I try not to think about it too much.

_

Suki: how humble

_

(Cut to a close-up of Fong's face. He smiles happily.)

General Fong: Avatar... you're ready to face the Fire Lord now.

_

Suki Toph and Zuko: WHAT! 😲😲😲

_

(Cut to a close up of Aang's face. He seems content at first, but his expression quickly changes to one of surprised disbelief.)

Aang: (alarmed) What?! No I'm not!

_

Suki and toph:uhh yea no kidding

_

(Cut to the three friends, with Katara closest to the camera.)

Katara: Aang still needs to master all four elements.

(Cut to a wide shot of Fong at his desk.)

General Fong: Why? (becomes worked up as he speaks and rises from his desk) With the kind of power he possesses—power enough to destroy hundreds of battleships in a matter of minutes—he could defeat the Fire Lord now!

(Cut back to the three, with Sokka raising his hand somewhat timidly.)

Sokka: But, sir, the thing is Aang can only do those things when he's in the Avatar state.

Aang: See, it's this special state where—
