Synopsis

When the group runs out of money, Sokka decides to get a job working for a fisherman in order to permit them to continue their journey. However, when the fisherman mocks Aang for being a coward and hiding for a hundred years, he runs away and Katara follows him to try to figure out what is going on, in which Aang tells her what happened that made him be in the iceberg when she found him. Meanwhile, the men on Zuko's ship have low morale because Zuko lacks compassion for them, so Iroh attempts to explain to them why Zuko is determined to capture Aang at all costs.

Production notes

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar was the master of all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Fire Nation from conquering the world. But when the world needed him most, he disappeared. Until now... On the South Pole, a lone Water Tribe village struggles to survive. It's here that a young Waterbender named Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange boy named Aang from a cavernous iceberg. Not only is Aang an Airbender- a race of people no one has seen in a century- but they soon discover that Aang is also the long-lost Avatar. Now it's up to Katara and Sokka to make sure Aang faces his destiny to save the tribe- and himself. Did we mention he's only 12?
