Episode Summary
Aang and the gang discover an Earth town that celebrates something called “Avatar Day.” But when they get there and learn the festival is of “anti-Avatar” sentiment, Aang is put on trial for a crime a past incarnation allegedly committed. Looking to clear the Avatar’s good name, Katara and Sokka venture back to a familar place to gather evidence and discover the truth.
“Sensitive To My Boundaries”
Sokka: What are you doing in my mouth?! Momo, you need to be a little more sensitive to my boundaries.
“That’s Correct!”
Sokka: Wait! My boomerang!
Katara: There’s no time!
Sokka: Oh, I see! So there’s time to get your scrolls and time to get your staff, but no time for my boomerang?
Katara: That’s correct!
Sokka: Oh.
“Hair Loopies”
Aang: Sorry about your boomerang Sokka.
Sokka: I feel like I’ve lost part of my identity. Imagine if you lost your arrow. Or if Katara lost her… hair loopies.
“Boomerang Guy”
Shopkeeper: Here’s your produce, ponytail guy.
Sokka: I used to be boomerang guy.
“Deep Fried Festival Food”
Aang: Having a huge festival in your honor is great. But frankly, it’s just nice to be appreciated.
Sokka: And it’s nice to appreciate their deep fried festival food.
“Smells Manly”
Sokka: Now a torch! That’s a nice prop! It’s bright, dangerous, smells manly… but I’m not sure if I could carry it off.
“Airbending Slice!”
Sokka: So some people don’t like you. Big deal! There’s a whole nation of Firebenders who hate you. Now lets bust you out of here.
Aang: I can’t.
Sokka: Sure you can! A little (enthusiastically) “hoo”, “swish swish swish”, “Airbending slice!” and we’re on our way.
“The Missing Seal Jerky”
Katara: I think what “Master Swish” is trying to say is that you’re suppose to be out saving the world. You can’t do that locked up in here.
Aang: I can’t do that with people thinking I’m a murderer either. I need you guys to help prove my innocence.
Sokka: How are we going to do that? The crime happened over 300 years ago.
Aang: That’s okay Sokka. For some reason I thought you were an expert detective.
Sokka: Well, I guess I could be classified as such.
Katara: Yeah, back home he was famous for solving the mystery of the missing seal jerky.
Sokka: Everyone wanted to blame it on the polar leopard, but I figured out it was Old Man Jargo wearing polar leopard boots. (Sokka starts rambling) See, a real 800–pound polar leopard would have left much deeper tracks. Okay, I guess I am pretty good.
“Some New Props”
Aang: So, you’ll help me with my case?
Sokka: Fine, but I’m going to need some new props.
(Sokka appears with a hat with magnifying monocle)
Sokka: I’m ready.
(Katara stifles a laugh)
Sokka: What?
“Where’d You Get That?”
Sokka: This temple and this statue were cut from the same stone. And we know that this statue was built after Chin died.
Katara: So if they were built at the same time that means—
Sokka: Shhh! I want to solve it! That means Kyoshi never set foot in this temple!
Katara: That’s a big hole in the mayor’s story, but it’s not enough to prove Aang’s innocence.
Sokka: You’re right. We need to go to Kyoshi Island.
Katara: Where’d you get that?
“Help Change The World”
Sokka: So, uh… what’s Suki up too? Is she around?
Village Elder: Actually, she and the other warriors left to fight in the war. You kids had a big impact on Suki. She said you inspired her, that she wanted to help change the world.
Sokka: Oh, well… that’s great.
“Also Refrain From Touching”
Village Elder: The clerics tell us these relics are still connected to her spirit. That’s her kimono.
Katara: She had exquisite taste.
Village Elder: Please don’t touch!
Sokka: These fans… they were her weapons no?
Village Elder: Also refrain from touching the fans.
“These Things Mean Anything To You?”
Katara: Wait a minute. Big feet? Little footprints? There’s no way—
Sokka: Ahem. Special outfit, hat and pipe, these things mean anything to you?
Katara: (Mockingly) You’re right. I’m sorry. Please.
Sokka: Aha! There’s no way Kyoshi could have made that footprint! And therefore there is nothing linking her to the crime scene!
Katara: Brilliant, Sokka.
(Katara rolls her eyes)
“She Has An Alibi!”
Sokka: 370 years?! What! Are you sure it was today?
Village Elder: Seeing how it’s Kyoshi Day, yes. I’m sure.
Sokka: This ceremony didn’t take place at sunrise. It took place at sunset. Look at the shadows.
Katara: They point east so the sun must have been in the west.
Village Elder: So what?
(Sokka shoves Katara aside)
Katara: Ahh!
Sokka: If Kyoshi was at the ceremony at sunset she couldn’t have been in Chin committing the crime. She has an alibi!
(Katara hits Sokka with his pipe)
“He’s Dead”
Sokka:: You can do it Aang. Just remember the evidence.
Aang: Right… evidence. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m about to tell you what really happened and I will prove it with facts. Fact number one… uh…
Sokka: The footprints.
Aang: Oh, yeah! You see, I have very large feet.
(Pause)
Aang: Furthermore, your temple matches your statue. But… I was in a painting at sunset. So there you have it! I’m not guilty.
Sokka: He’s dead.
“The Power Of Stuff”
Sokka: What are you doing?
Katara: Well, she is Aang’s past life. Maybe wearing her stuff will trigger something.
Sokka: I do believe in the power of stuff.
“You Do Always Come Back!”
Sokka: Boomerang! You do always come back!
“The Worst Town”
Sokka: What is this?
Village Elder: That’s our new festival food. Unfried dough, may we it eat it and be reminded how on this day the Avatar was not boiled in oil
Crowd: Yay!!!
Katara: Happy Avatar Day everyone.
Sokka: This by far the worst town we’ve ever been too.
