It has been stated on Nick.com, under the character section for Day of Black Sun Part 2: The Eclipse, that Haru, Teo, and The Duke will stay with Aang and the Gaang for a temporary amount of time. (edit) In this episode, we discover that War Minister Qin stole the idea for the war balloon. We also get to see War Minister Qin for the first time since The Drill. However in this episode he is portrayed as weak and pathetic. (edit) This is the last Avatar episode aired in 2007. (edit) This episode was animated by Moi Animation. (edit) Although The Eclipse, being the second part of The Day of Black Sun, should be counted as the 11th chapter, in the American airing, it marked as Chapter 10 in the episode title. The Canadian and UK airing marked it as Chapter 11. (edit)

(Katara looks off into the distance, with her father and a few others behind her.)
Hakoda: Katara, is something wrong? You seem distracted.
Katara: (hesitates): Yeah... is that... is that Aang?!
(Aang flies into view, coming from the direction of the Palace. He lands and the others approach him.)
Sokka: Please tell me your here because the Fire Lord turned out to be a big wimp and you didn't even need the eclipse to take him out. (edit) War Minister Qin: The Fire Lord’s chamber is that way down the hall to the left and up the stairs. You can’t miss it.
(Aang and Sokka both glare at him)
Aang: (suddenly smiles cheerfully) Thanks! (edit) Sokka: What would we do without you?
Toph: Perish in burning hot magma.
Sokka: Yeah, pretty much. (edit) Zuko: I've learned everything, and I've had to learn it on my own. (edit) The Mechanist: Goodbye son.
Teo: Bye dad. I'm really proud of you.
The Duke: I'll miss you Pipsqueak.
Pipsqueak: Take care, The Duke.
Haru: We'll be back for you, Dad.
Tyro: If we don't escape on our own first.
Hakoda: We lost today, but we've never been this close. We tasted victory, and that counts for something.
Katara: We'll miss you, Dad.
Sokka: Bye dad. We won't be apart for too long this time. I promise. (edit)

In Zuko Alone we learn the story of Zuko's upbringing. Specifically about the disappearance of his mother, Ursa. In this episode we learn that she is alive and that she was exiled. (edit) In the episode The Blue Spirit, Aang has the ability to run faster than the wind, but he couldn't catch Azula in this episode. (edit) When the swamp benders failed to defend the subs from the Fire Nation, Tho, Due and Hue appeared to be very close to the subs, but seconds later they all disappeared from the scene. (edit) Originally, there was a cup on the little table beside Firelord Ozai, but when Ozai was telling Zuko about what happened to his mother, the cup disappeared for one moment, and then later re-appeared. (edit) When Zuko first entered the firelord's bunker there was a ceiling lamp hanging quite low to the ground on his right, but later the lamp disappeared and re-appeared later. (edit)

Azula claims she "has known about the invasion for months." A reference to The Guru, where the Earth King accidentally revealed this to Azula, whom he thought was a Kyoshi Warrior. (edit) The eclipse glasses made by the Mechanist for the invasion forces are identical to Inuit bone goggles used to protect the wearer's eyes from the sun's glare on the snow. (edit) The battle in this episode ends like the Battle of Dunkirk. Except it wasn't a total evacuation. (edit) The use of Zeppelins for large scale bombing seems to be a allusion to the airships used in the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. (edit) The overall design for the Fire Nation zeppelins seem to be somewhat based on the airships found in early Final Fantasy games. (edit)
