    Meeting up with some familiar faces. hide show

    This is a nice surprise; some old faces make a reappearance such as Suki and Jet with Suki teaming up with Aang and his crew and Jet and his league of refugee teens ganging up with the outcast Zuko. You'd automatically think that with so much nostalgic characters in one episode it's an instant hit, right? Well not really; not that this episode isn't great, because it was still a good watch, but some of the morals and lessons that were went over were kind of rushed. Sokka's issue with being overprotective over Suki has potential, but it jumped the ship too fast and with Suki leaving the cast, this is an issue that might not be solved again. Aang's situation is a bit better because it was already covered in the previous episode. Still a very good episode.

    Aang and the gang travel with a small group of nomads to get to Bah Sing Seh... hide show

    To get to Bah Sing Seh, Aang and the gang hope to travel on board a ferry. However, they are unable to get tickets because they don't allow pets on board. Toph gets tickets by showing proof of her social status and explaining that Momo is her seeing eye lemur. The gang does not take the ferry, however, because the nomads that also need to get to the city were not able to get tickets. Aang agrees to lead them through the dangerous Serpent's Pass. Suki, having been a guard at the ferry, agrees to accompany them. On the trail, Aang and Katara fight a giant serpent, Suki and Sokka kiss, and Katara helps deliver a baby the nomad parents named Hope.

    coolness hide show

    When Aang and the gang meet up with a group of refugees, they tell the gang where they can get on a ferry to Ba Sing Se. But after a series of events they have to take a deadly route called the serpent's pass with the help of an old friend, Suki. Meanwhile Zuko and Iroh meet up with a boy named Jet and his freedom fighters. Can Aang and the gang trust to hope to get them out of the treacherous Serpent's Pass? I loved the George in the episode and it was very exciting to watch them get past the serpent

    great episode hide show

    loved watching this episode mostly because it was both thrilling and entertaining at the same time. In the beginning I had no idea what to expect and things seemed to change frequently causing great anticipation. When Suki was reintroduced was when I started paying more attention because there had to be a reason for her to be in it from the beginning. theserpent fight, and the journy was interesting and cool. This episode had got better character developement, and when you finally think they got to ba sing se safely, all goes wrong. the firnation is leading an attack on it as they speak.

  • It is revealed that Toph cannot feel vibrations on anything other than solid ground (at least not as effectively). []
  • When Aang asks where the other warriors are and when Suki looks at Aang with concern, Suki's hair is plan brown rather than red-brown. []
  • When the group first gets in single file to enter the water, the order is: Katara, Suki, Toph, Aang, Sokka, and the three travelers. However, a moment later, in the water, the order changes to; Katara, Suki, Sokka, the three travelers, Toph and Aang. []
More Trivia
  • This episode aired along with The Drill as the TV-Movie: Secret of the Fire Nation. []
  • This episode is in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 2: Earth, Volume 3 DVD, along with The Library, The Drill, City of Walls and Secrets, and The Tales of Ba Sing Se. []
  • Suki's armor has a different color than her season 1 armor. Specifically the armor she wears in this episode is a darker green than it was originally. []
More Notes
  • Suki: (blushing) Listen, I'm really sorry about last night. (looks askance) We were talking, and saying things, (closes eyes) I just got carried away and before I knew it I…
    (Sokka surprises her with a tender kiss, draws back)
    Sokka: You talk too much. []
  • Bureaucrat: Well, normally it's only 1 ticket per passport, but, this document is so official, I guess it's worth 4 tickets. []
  • Katara: I can't believe how many people's lives have been uprooted by the Fire Nation.
    Tahn: We're all looking for a better life. Safe, behind the walls of Ba Sing Se. []
More Quotes
  • Invasive Species

    When the Ticket Woman is speaking with the Cabbage Merchant, she mentions that a cabbage slug would ruin the ecosystem of Ba Sing Se. This is a reference to a term in ecology known as Invasive species. It occurs when an organism is transported from its native land, by a human, human invention (i.e. ship), or animal, to a new land. There it will have no natural predators to it and will have free reign to grow and expand with little to no hindrance. An example of an invasive species would be the Chestnut Blight Fungus. []
  • Avatar Cosplay
    When presented with the small group of imitators wearing costumes modeled after his image, Aang smiles and gives a nod of approval in their direction. This appears to be a "nod" towards the Avatar cosplayers (costume players), who have attended numerous panels dedicated to the show at various comic and anime conventions over the past year. Some of which have met Mike and Bryan in person and have been featured in Avatar Nick Mag articles. []
  • Sokka: Suki, you have experience with giant sea creatures, do something!
    Suki: Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't make me an expert!

    This is a clear allusion to Suki's native island of Kyoshi, whose waters are home to the Unagi, a similar giant sea serpent. []
