Okay, seriously, what is taking SO LONG?!?!?! They've already shown it EVERYWHERE else but here, what are they waiting for? I'm just confused because it isn't the end of the season or anything, so they can't wait until September like last year!

This episode seems so cool. though the way they talk about it each season is a year. That would be impossible unless they already lost the war. because it was in the first season they found out about the comet.

SPOILER! Admittedly fairly minor SPOILER!

Zuko needs to see a shrink for the way his personality keeps warping.

SPOLIERS ----Well I just finish watching the episode, Zuko does joint the group, Katara does threten him, they fight the "fire boomy guy". They do not show more airbenders, there is no mistery person, Momo does not find more Lemurs. And there are funny moments with Zuko alone impersonating his uncle and sister. Damn and I want more!!!!!!

The thing is thought that a user is the one that moderates the shows. It's not the TV.com guys that made the "USA air dates only" it was the user (I'm guessing Pooldude256) that moderates this page.

Other than that, this episode was amazing and I am really looking forward to chapter 13, which in case anyone is wondering will be called "The Firebending Masters".

First of all, it's stupid that the airdate and recap and summary are not being listed because the only place the episode has aired is in Canada on YTV on December 14, 2007 at 6:00 PM Eastern/Pacific. Secondly, their reasoning that they only show air dates from the USA is stupid, considering that at one time that was false. For example, they would show continuing updates of Naruto Shippuden, the sequel series to Naruto which is only aired on Tokyo TV as of yet and of course online. It makes it seem like shows not aired in America are inatiquite, well here's a newsflash, this is a website on the internet, that makes it global, it's not like the US is the only country with TVs.

For all you guys who really want to see this episode, go to http://www.avatarfan.co.nr/ Zuko does join the group after trying to stop the psychic fire assassin Zuko originally ordered to take out the Avatar. But there is some hesitation from everyone and they haven't truly accepted him except for the fact that he will be his fire bending teacher. Talk to you guys soon

**SPOILERS** This episode IS about Zuko joining the group and does so by proving he is not going to hurt them. Fire Boomy guy comes and tries to blow them up but as he is aiming Zuko comes and throws him off. He tries fighting him but fails. When he is joined Katara say that she is watching him closely and if there is one slip up then she will end him.

"SPOILER WARNNG" ok so ive seen the episode and there are alot of things that ppl have guessed wrong about this one one thing that i will tell everyone who suspects this is the western air temple was not seen in any of the previous episode its brand new there are no other air benders mentioned in this one as some ppl have rumoured and no one else is mentioned as a secret bender one thing that is true zuko does join the group more or less

Zuko joining the gaang?! This is definately a mustsee. Something a lot of us have been anticipating from 'The storm' in season 1!

I might have a spoiler

I think the Northern Water Tribe will be attacked again beacause if you saw the events of "the day of black sun" you saw those giant black metal fire nation airships. Think about it all fire nation attempts to conquer the last water tribeas fail. They use their ships which are mostly destroyed. They now have air power so there is nothing stopping them from bombing the entire water tribe city.

The episode is good, but somehow I think the personality of Zuko has deformed by the creators, there is such a big change in the personality that I don't think it's possible, even the way Zuko speaks had change.
