Episode Title:
The Storm.Episode Description:
Sokka is hired to assist a fisherman. The fisherman calls Aang "the Avatar who turned his back on the world". Guiltily, Aang reveals to Katara that he ran away from home because the monks at the Southern Air Temple wanted to separate him from Gyatso; after getting caught in a terrible storm, he sealed himself and Appa in the iceberg. Meanwhile, on Zuko's ship, Iroh tells the crew that the burns on Zuko's face are the result of an agni-kai with his own father, who had taken offense when Zuko spoke up in a meeting. When a storm hits, Sokka and the fisherman are rescued by Aang and Katara. Aang is forced to enter the Avatar State, mirroring the events that led to him being trapped in the iceberg, but this time he is able to escape with the fisherman, Sokka, and Katara. Zuko also acts heroically when his ship is struck by lightning, rescuing a member of his crew who becomes trapped on the bridge; Iroh uses firebending to redirect lightning away from the ship. Zuko sees Aang flying away on Appa, but elects not to pursue them in order to get his crew to safety.
