Episode Summary
Aang learns that he must go to the Fire Nation temple during the winter solstice if he wishes to speak with Avatar Roku to see what he must do. However, with Prince Zuko on his trail while he heads straight into the heart of the nation who wants him captured, he realizes that this isn’t going to be an easy task.
“Big Butt”
Aang: Let’s go Appa! Come on! Look I’m sorry, but Sokka and Katara aren’t coming to the Fire Nation with us. If they got hurt I’d never forgive myself. So get your big butt off the ground and let’s go!
Sokka: I think his big butt is trying to tell you something.
Katara: Please don’t go Aang. The world can’t afford to lose you to the Fire Nation. Neither can I.
“We’ve Got Your Back”
Katara: We’re not letting you go into the Fire Nation Aang.
Sokka: At least, not without your friends. We’ve got your back.
“Exactly Why We’re Here”
Aang: If we fly north, we can go around the Fire Nation ships and avoid the blockade. It’s the only way.
Katara: There’s no time!
Aang: This is exactly why I didn’t want you to come! It’s too dangerous!
Katara: And that’s exactly why we’re here.
Sokka: Let’s run this blockade!
Aang: Appa! Yip yip!
“We Made It!”
Aang: We made it!
Sokka: We got into the Fire Nation. Great.
“Talking To Momo”
Katara: Oh… you must be tired.
Sokka: No! I’m good, refreshed and ready to fight some Firebenders!
Katara: I was talking to Appa.
Sokka: Well— I was talking to Momo.
“Only A Hundred Years Late”
Aang: If this is the Avatar’s temple, why did the sages attack me?
Shyu: Things have changed. In the past the sages were loyal only to the Avatar. When Roku died, the sages eagerly awaited for the next Avatar to return. But he never came.
Aang: They were waiting for me.
Sokka: Hey don’t feel bad. You’re only a hundred years late.
“I Think I Can Help You Out”
Shyu: No!
Aang: Shyu, what’s wrong?
Shyu: The sanctuary doors! They’re closed.
Katara: Can’t you just open them with Firebending? Like you opened that other door?
Shyu: No, only a fully-realized Avatar is powerful enough to open this door alone. Otherwise the sages must open this door together with five simultaneous fire blasts.
Sokka: Five fire blasts, huh? I think I can help you out.
“Outdone Yourself”
Sokka: This is a little trick I picked up from my father. I seal the lamp oil inside an animal skin casing. Shyu lights the oil-soaked twine and — tada — fake Firebending.
Katara: You’ve really outdone yourself this time Sokka.
Shyu: This might actually work.
“Let Her Dream”
Sokka: I don’t get it. That blast looked as strong as any Firebending I’ve seen.
Katara: Sokka, you’re a genius!
Aang: Wait. How is Sokka a genius? His plan didn’t even work.
Sokka: Come on Aang, let her dream.
Katara: You’re right. Sokka’s plan didn’t work. But it looks like it did.
Aang: Did the definition of genius change in the last hundred years?
“Make It Out Of This”
Fire Sage: When those doors open unleash all your firepower!
Katara: How is Aang going to make it out of this?
Sokka: How are we going to make it out of this?
