Zuko is upset about his ship getting trashed and wants her to pay him back. June is arm wrestling in a pub/bar when a grumpy Zuko and a polite Iroh show up. As the trio continues to reminisces, Aang sulks off in a corner. Bato pauses to warn Aang not to wear the ceremonial and fragile wolf (?) headdress. Sokka and Katara get involved in having Bato tell them the old stories about what he and Hakoda got up to their youth.

“Stewed sea prunes” is a traditional Water Tribe dish, the scent of which doesn’t appetize Aang.

According to the art book, he decorated his quarters out of homesickness.īut Aang isn’t amused by the dead animal skins everywhere Momo ‘attacks’ a bear head on one of them and ends up scared. The siblings are impressed by how much Bato’s quarters resemble home. At the teen’s comment “Perfume? Maybe we could dump some on Appa because he stinks so much,” Bato notes that he has his father’s wit… with the implication it’s rather the lack thereof. Sokka smells something good it turns out the nuns make perfume and ointment. Once there, the superior greets Aang as the Avatar. After being seriously injured in battle, Bato was carried by Hakoda to a nearby abbey. When they ask after their dad, Hakoda explains he and the others are likely in the eastern Earth Kingdom by now. The Water Tribe members hug each other and Aang introduces himself. It’s clear that despite what the younger Sokka claimed, he was clearly not old enough to go to war.īato finds the group Aang and Katara wake up. Hakoda wants his young son to stay behind to protect his sister and the tribe. That night, Sokka is poking at the campfire as he flashbacks to when his dad was preparing to leave. After her departure, Iroh is “very impressed” to Zuko’s confusion. June’s a bounty hunter, which is why she’s doing this. The massive hybrid creature uses its acute sense of smell to track down a stowaway in the hull (tearing aside metal in the process) and the paralyzer in its saliva (via its long tongue) to rend the person immobile for an hour. Iroh and Zuko are having tea when June shows up on her shirshu. Sokka and Katara are certain their father was here. Soon he finds a burned arrow as well and uses his tracking knowledge to figure out what happened but the trail ends on the beach. While in a forest near the shore, Aang finds a whale-tooth sword which induces Sokka to flashback to his father’s departure as it’s a Water Tribe weapon. Last time on Avatar: The Gaang encountered a village under the sway of a fortuneteller. Sokka and Katara find the titular friend of their dad, making Aang afraid they’ll leave him alone.
