« prev episode next » episode

When Aang and Appa leave the abbey, the front gate is completely changed from its original design. The bell is missing, the designs are missing, and the tiles are missing and replaced with regular wood. edit »
After Bato sits down during the ice-dodging and we return to the gaang, you can see that the orange bands around Aang's wrists are missing and for the left hand there is no cuff. edit »
When Katara looks to Aang in hesitation before deciding to leave and her head is to the side, you can see that her braid is protruding from her bun rather than between her bun and head. edit »
While Bato is talking to Sokka and Katara and before he warns Aang bout the headdress, Katara's braid is missing. edit »
While Katara and Sokka flee from the Shirshu, June's mouth is missing. edit »
Throughout the fight scene, the building automatically repairs itself, and/or moves the damage around. i.e.: when Aang gets up after the big explosion, then jumps over Zuko's fire-blast, he lands next to a spot where all the shingles are destroyed, despite the fact that he landed much farther away. also, the area above where Sokka has his "im getting some feeling back" quote repairs itself. edit »
When the Shirshu first jumps on Zuko's boat, it scatters some firebenders who wear the trademark helmet and mask. but when they form up behind Zuko a second later, they are dressed as usual foot soldiers, lacking the special helmet. edit »
When Zuko, Iroh, and June are searching for Aang using the scent of Katara's necklace, they stop at the herbalist's house. We last saw the herbalist in The Blue Spirit, but only Aang travels to her, not Katara. Reason behind this is because she and Sokka were sick, which is why Aang went to the herbalist. edit »
When Aang recovers from his smack into the roof he's lying on the broken tiles that he made. But then when Zuko runs down the peak of the roof, Aang is suddenly standing on the peak as well. edit »
As Aang and Zuko are about to bend to make the large explosion, as Zuko turns it appears that his previous stance has remained behind him, giving Zuko three legs and two waists. edit »
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka look at Bato after his explanation of ice dodging, the rope Katara is holding somehow extends to go behind Sokka even though he is many feet behind her yet the rope shows no indication of moving back. edit »
When June and her Shirshu leave Zuko's ship and flee along the dock, the stowaway is missing from the Shirshu's back. edit »
When Prince Zuko and Iroh went into the fighting bar to talk to June, she called Iroh "uncle lazy" yet she never referred to him being Zuko's uncle, while she was around. edit »
During the first shot of June's face while arm wrestling, her right ear is red like her lipstick and tattoo. edit »
While the stowaway is paralyzed and lying helpless on the deck, the green of his headband bleeds onto the skin around his right eyebrow for a second. edit »
When Aang drops the map in the abbey and the nun scolds him for littering, Aang hides the map in the left pocket of his shawl, but after ice dodging and being marked, Aang pulls the map from his right pocket. edit »
When Katara and Sokka are shown lying helplessly on the Shirshu's back as it barges into the abbey and Zuko places his hand on Katara's back, her braid is missing. edit »
During an up-close shot of Aang seeing Katara's necklace dangling from Zuko's wrist, the yellow triangular clip is missing. edit »
After Aang clears the footprints using his bending, and after he walks over to the others, there's a new trail of footprints behind him. In the middle of the shot, they vanish. Then, the next time we see Aang, they're back! edit »
In the last episode, Aang makes Katara a new necklace to replace her old one, but when Aang recovers the original one, Katara doesn't have the one Aang made for her, on her neck. edit »

Zuko: (as he pushes through the crowd) Out of my way! Step aside, filth!
Iroh: (to the crowd) He means no offence! I'm certain you bathe regularly.
edit »
Aang: Ok! I get it, everybody wants me gone. edit »
Aunt Wu: Care to hear your fortune, handsome?
Iroh: At my age there is really only one big surprise left, and I'd just as soon leave it a mystery. edit »
Aang (just plops in the room): Hey everyone, sorry I was gone so long.
Katara: Hey Aang, I didn't notice you left.
Aang: Yup but now I'm back...Suure could go for some delicious sea prunes. (scoops up a bowl and starts shoveling food down, spitting the prunes out and then eating again)ummm,ummmm, blechha, ummmm (Everyone looks at Aang like he's crazy) edit »
Aang (very sad, referring to Sokka and Katara): I can't believe they would leave me. edit »
Prince Zuko: Your beast trashed my ship, (now angry) you have to pay me back!
June (as she gathers her money on the table): Aw, I'd love to help you out, but I'm a little short on money. (yells to the people in the bar) Drinks on me! edit »
Prince Zuko: I need to talk to you.
June: Well, if it isn't my new friends, angry boy and uncle lazy. (Iroh laughs) edit »
Bato (surprised): Sokka?
Sokka (weird eye formation): Bato?
Aang (just waking up): Who the what now?
Katara (really happy): Bato! edit »
June: My Shirshu can smell a rat a continent away.
Iroh (grins): Well I'm impressed, (June leaves the boat and then Iroh puts his hand on his chin and says with a very smooth tone) very impressed. edit »
Aang: You have something I want. edit »
Katara: Good luck.
Aang (in a sad voice): Ok, you too. edit »
Sokka: Yeah, we lost too much time as it is. edit »
Sokka: It�s one of our boats!
Katara: Is this� Dad�s boat?
Sokka (rubbing the ship�s prow and smiling): No, but it�s from his fleet. Dad was here. edit »
Sokka: Aang, helm to lee! Helm to lee!
Aang: What does that even mean?! edit »
Sokka: Perfume? Maybe we could dump some on Appa... because he stinks so much. Am I right?
Bato (frowning): You have your father's wit. edit »
Messenger: I'm looking for Bato of the Water Tribe.
Aang: I know Bato. edit »
Katara (taking her necklace from Aang): Aang, how did you get that?
Aang (sarcastically): Zuko asked to be sure I got it to you.
Katara (also sarcastically): Oh, that's so sweet of Zuko. Would you give him a kiss for me when you see him? (kisses Aang on the cheek) edit »
Prince Zuko: Uncle, I didn't see you get hit with the tongue.
Uncle Iroh (with Jun laying on top of him): Shhh! (smiles) edit »
Uncle Iroh: Plus, we'll pay your weight in gold.
June: Make it your weight and we got a deal.
Uncle Iroh: Haha, you got it! edit »
Sokka: I'm startin' to get some feeling back. (roof tiles fall over him) Ow. edit »
Katara: Sokka?
Sokka: We need to go back. I want to see Dad, but helping Aang is where we're needed most. edit »
Prince Zuko: (showing June Katara's necklace) I need you to find someone.
June: What happened? Your girlfriend run off on you?
Prince Zuko: It's not the girl I'm after, it's the bald monk she's traveling with.
June: Whatever you say. edit »
June: (to Zuko about Katara) So this is your girlfriend? No wonder she left, she's way too pretty for you. edit »
Aang: Yeah, nothing's more comforting than dead animal skins. edit »
Aang (looks down with a sad face): I'm an idiot, Momo. edit »
Sokka: I'm strong. I'm brave. I can fight. Please dad.
Hakoda: Being a man is knowing where you're needed the most. And for you right now, that's here protecting your sister. edit »
Herbalist Lady: (to her cat) Miyuki, did you get in trouble with the fire nation again? edit »
Prince Zuko: Where is he? Where's the Avatar?
Sokka: We split up. He's long gone.
Prince Zuko: How stupid do you think I am?
Sokka: Pretty stupid. (to Katara) Run! edit »
