…but nah, Zhao isn’t clever enough for something like that. The Chief, seeing Sokka is not a jock asshole with no respect for his daughter, gives him the task of protecting Yue during the battle.īut let’s go back to Aang! Determined to actually save a city this time around, he hang glides out to some Fire Nation ships and proceeds to bust up their catapults with the greatest of ease. Sokka gets thrown off the mission when he gets in a fight with Hahn, who happens to be Yue’s fiancé. Sokka, who actually knows shit about the Fire Nation army, points out a glaring flaw: The uniforms the Water Tribe has procured are decades out of date.

He and a small group of fellow soldiers, led by an archetypal spoiled teenage jock named Hahn, will be infiltrating the Fire Nation army and hopefully assassinating Zhao. The Chief asks for volunteers for a dangerous mission, and of course Sokka’s the first one to raise his hand. Zhao, you are going to be defeated, and it is going to be so good. Zhao also taunts Iroh about how he’s going to kick some major Water Tribe ass-it will be nothing like Iroh’s “legendary defeat” at Ba Sing Se ( What happened?! I’m pretty sure this has been mentioned multiple times). On one of those ships, Iroh grills a stowaway Zuko on whether he actually has a plan to capture Aang right out from under Zhao’s nose. The romance is put on hold when Sokka sees Zhao’s ships off on the horizon. It’s an admirable, emotionally honest decision. But Yue says she can’t hang with Sokka anymore, because she likes him too much for them just to be friends.

Sokka’s off being all friendly with Princess Yue, whom we learned last episode is engaged. Being able to turn oneself into a snowman is cute and all, but I can’t imagine it’ll be all that helpful when it’s time to fight the Fire Nation. Not included in the beatdowns is Aang, who’s been slacking off. In the meantime, Katara’s taken to beating every single waterbender in training exercises.

“ The Waterbending Master” left us chilling (har) in the North Pole Water Tribe, which was just about to be attacked by Buttface Zhao’s Fire Nation army. Season Book One of Avatar: The Last Airbender: Completed.
