This is the first episode to feature all the four elemental benders. (edit) Katara loses her mother's necklace on the prison rig, and it is recovered by Prince Zuko.

Katara's last shot wearing the necklace was when she was giving coal to Aang to launch at the warden. The first shot with her not wearing it is when they are leaving on the ship so she must have lost it sometime between these two shots. (edit) Haru means 'Spring' in Japanese. This is probably because he is an Earthbender, and the Avatar Cycle follows the seasons:
Spring- Earth
Summer- Fire
Autumn- Air
Winter- Water (edit) This is the first time we see a village from another nation being taken over by the Fire Nation. (edit) Hero Debut: Haru and Tyro (Earth Kingdom) (edit)

Katara: If you don't mind me asking, what's your escape plan?
Tyro: Excuse me?
Katara: You know, the plan to get everyone off the rig? What is it? Mutiny? Sabotage?
Tyro: The plan? The plan is to survive - wait out this war. Hope that one day some of us can get back home and forget this ever happened.
Katara: How can you say that? You sound like you've already given up.
Tyro: Katara, I admire your courage and I envy your youth, but people's lives are at stake here. The Warden is a ruthless man, and he won't stand for any rebellion. I'm sorry, but we're powerless.
Katara: We'll see about that. (edit) Katara: See this necklace? My mother gave it to me.
Haru: It's beautiful.
Katara: I lost my mother in a Fire Nation raid. This necklace is all I have left of her.
Haru: It's not enough, is it?
Katara: No. (edit) Katara: What can they do to you that they haven't already done?
Haru's Mother: They could take Haru away. Like they did his father. (edit) Sokka: Momo (pause) you have some big ears. (edit) Aang: Great hat. I'll trade you some nuts for it. (edit)

When Tyro thanks Katara on the ship and she looks away in embarrassment, her braid is not connected to her bun or even to her head. (edit) When Tyro is trying to convince Katara to stop rebelling against the Warden while she is standing on the coal pile, the blue beads connecting her hair loopies to her bun turn brown. (edit) When Katara says that the Firebenders will take her to Haru, Sokka's gloves are missing. (edit) When Katara pretends to be an Earthbender, she shouts "EARTHBENDING STYLE!", during which the fur lining on the bottom of her outfit disappears. (edit) When Katara is captured, and when the prisoners are walking onto the prison hold, Katara is second to last in line. But when we see the doors close on her, she's last. (edit)

Haru literally translates into "spring" from Japanese, which may allude to Book 2: Earth, which takes place in springtime. (edit) Haru's name means "to dig out," in Akkadian, which alludes towards his earthbending abilities. (edit) The earthbender prison is far out to sea and resembles modern oil rigs, used to find oil underwater. The firebenders are using these prisons for similar purposes, to get coal for their huge fleet. (edit)
