Avatar: The Last Airbender

Lake Laogai was a really awesome and superb episode full of action, drama, intrigue, adventure, and surprise. I enjoyed watching this episode as Iroh gets his own tea shop in an upper ring of the city, Zuko finds Appa and makes an important decision about The Blue Spirit. Meanwhile the gang encounter Jet who seems to be different and they soon discover all to well how different he is. I thougth the stories in this episode were great and develop the characters and plot. I thought the ending was great when Appa reunites with the gang when they are in trouble with the soldiers of Ba Sing Se. I look forward to watching more episodes!!!!!!!

Looks like this wraps up the search for Appa arc as the other characters who ventured into Ba Sing Se, such as Jet and Zuko, end their temporary residency there as well. This episode contains some awesome fighting and some even more awesome choreography, though it is once again Avatar's strong writing that shines the brightest. The whole concept of Toff being able to detect if people are lying just knitted itself nicely when Jet lies to Aang and them about surviving. Although he's been portrayed as an antagonist, it's sad to see such a character like Jet go. Meanwhile Zuko is making character developmental strides himself.

This episode sure was an exciting one! Aang and the gang discover that the Dai Lai is trying to stop them in their search for Appa. They also discover a place called Lake Laogai, and believe that Appa is being held prisoner there. They enter it, and run into Jet. Jet is brainwashed, and has no control over his actions. He is forced to fight against Aang and Katara. Katara's pleads eventually break through to him, and he wakes up and tries to save Aang. As a result, Jet is badly hurt. It implies that he soon dies, but no one truly knows the answer. Meanwhile, Zuko (as the Blue Spirit) finds Appa and releases him. At Iroh's urging, he considers what is truly right. In the end, he places the Blue Spirit mask in the water and watches it sink.

The episode revolves around finding Appa, who was said to be in Ba Sing Se. The plot for this episode is interesting. You want to pay attention to the entire episode, and it's nice to see more of Jet. You realize he's been brainwashed, and the characters try to awaken memories of where they held him. Aang and group know this is where they could have taken Appa.



At the same time, Zuko wants to get back to hunting the Avatar, knowing he is missing his bison and that it is in the city, but Iroh wants him to live the life they have secured for their selves now, instead of throwing it all away. Zuko doesn't want that, and decides to hunt for Appa first.



Jet, Aang, the group, and Zuko all end up at Lake Laogai, with the intent of finding Appa. The action that happens during this time is varied and pretty good. Seeing the interaction between Katara and Jet is a nice touch as well, if you have watched the season one episode including them both. It's also sad to see what happens to Jet, with what Toph mentions after they leave that you know what's going to happen to him.



On the other side, you have Zuko, who after finding Appa, is caught by Iroh. This episode shows how confused Zuko really is. He is confused about what he actually wants from life, what his destiny is, and who he really is. But in the end, Zuko makes a change and releases Appa from his chains. Really, this episode is simply excellent.

This is exactly what I look for when I want to see an episode. When Long Feng hit Jet with the rock I thought Jet was dead. I still think he is. When Aang and the others found Appa, I almost cried when I saw him. This wasn't an very action episode except Aang VS Controlled Jet and Long Feng. That was a great fight. It was more like a mysterious episode than an action episode. When Katara kept on saying to Jet "if you go like that again" or something like that, I kept laughing. Overall I give this a 9.7.

With the return of Appa and another view of the blue spirit (who I think is really cool and should come back again), this episode is awesome. The whole gang is in it which is good because I think the ones with everyone included are the best. The scene right after Zuko frees Appa where Iroh shows up and talks to him about his destiny, in my opinion, is the best moment in the entire series. It's sort of the begining where Zuko starts to see whats right. And Jet dies, to make this episode even more memorable and meaningful. The Dai Lee are an important part in this episode. And at the end Appa and Aang are reunited to make a happy ending, and Zuko gives away the Blue Spirit.

This was a very great episode. Aang and the Gaang are out, putting up wanted posters of Appa, when Jet comes up to Katara. Needless to say, Jet got seriously pwned, because Katara's still mad at Jet from the season 1 episode, Jet. However, Jet, who was brainwashed by the Dai Li, convinces the Gaang(minus Katara)that he wants to help look for Appa. With some help from Smellerbee, Toph and Sokka figure out that the Dai Li brainwashed Jet. Katara uses her healing abilities to help Jet remember where the Dai Li brainwashed him, which turns out to be underneath Lake Laogai.



Meanwhile, Zuko and Iroh are already under Lake Laiogai, where Zuko finds Appa. Iroh finds out that Zuko is the Blue Spirit. Iroh then convinces Zuko to not hurt Appa, in hopes the two can just live peacefully in Ba Sing Se.



The Gaang, Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot go underneath Lake Laiogai, where they find the secret of the multiple Joo Dee's: Large groups of them are brainwashed at a time. The Gaang finds Long Feng and the Dai Li, and they battle. While battling, Long Feng brainwashes Jet again into attacking Aang. After Aang tells Jet to look inside his heart, the brainwashing's spell is broken, and Jet attacks Long Feng. However, he Earthbends some rock at Jet. Long Feng escapes, and although not shown, Jet sadly dies.



Above ground, the Gaang have another battle with Long Feng and the Dai Li. When things look bleak for the Gaang, Momo flies off and gets Appa. Appa easily throws Long Feng into the water, probably killing him. The Gaang wins the fight with the Dai Li. Now, with the Dai Li defeated, Long Feng killed, and the Gaang re-united with Appa, things are starting to look up for the Gaang.

The episode begins at the kids' house in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se. Sokka is attempting to draw pictures of Appa for posters Aang would drop around the city. Aang and Katara burst in with a professionally-made poster, featuring a much better picture of Aang's pal than Sokka's crude drawings. The group plans on spreading the flyers all over the city, hoping someone will have some information. Meanwhile, Iroh's tea-making skills have earned him renown throughout the city. So much so, that a rich patron is willing to give him his own tea shop in the upper Ring of the city, much to the dismay of his present, now former, employer. While this is a dream come true for Iroh, Zuko, of course, is much less enthusiastic. He goes outside to sulk, and one of Aang's flyers falls into his hand, he is now faced with a decision. He has one more opportunity to capture Aang. Later, Aang returns home, impatient to see if the flyers have had any success. Katara tells him to be patient, when there is a knock on the door. Aang thinks it is someone with information on Appa, instead, it's Joo Dee. She was the first one who met them when they entered the city. She explains her mysterious disappearance at the Earth king's party as having taken a short vacation to Lake Laogai. She informs the group that dropping flyers without clearance is against the rules. Aang has had quite enough of the "rules", and tells Joo Dee off, saying that he intends to find Appa, and that she should stay out of his way. Toph is elated at the opportunity to break the rules, and expresses this joy by breaking a wall in there house. The group heads out, with two Dai Li agents watching their every move. Elsewhere, Long Feng is disappointed in Joo Dee's second failure to control the Avatar and his friends. Joo Dee worries that the group no longer trusts her, and rightly so. Long Feng simply says, "The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai". Joo Dee's eyes go blank, and she all-too calmly accepts the invitation. Long Feng tells her to await further orders. As she leaves, Long Feng himself reveals that he too is worried that the Avatar may disrupt his control over the city and the king. Back at their little apartment, Iroh is still excitedly mowing over names for his new tea shop. Zuko informs Iroh that the Avatar is in the city and searching for his bison. Iroh warns Zuko that further perusing the Avatar in Ba Sing Se could jeopardize their attempts at rebuilding their lives. Zuko is still set upon reclaiming his believed destiny. Iroh tells him that he should take the time to think about what that means, and why. Out in the city, the gang is setting up more posters when Katara is approached by Jet. He tells her that he wants to help, but Katara is understandably furious with him, and attacks. Jet deflects her attacks, and tries to prove his honesty by dropping his hooked swords. The others arrive, drawn by the noise of her attack, to find Jet pinned to the wall. Toph, reading Jet's heartbeat and breathing patterns, pronounces that he's telling the truth. Katara is still distrustful, but agrees. Jet leads them to a large empty warehouse, where he says they may have been holding Appa. Toph confirms it by finding a tuft of Appa's fur. A old man who is sweeping comes in and says that he's glad that he doesn't have to clean up after the creatures droppings. The old cleaning man says that the creature was sent off to Whale Tail Island, which would take weeks, maybe months to get to. It is located down near the South Pole. He said it was bought by some wealthy noble for a zoo or something. Aang immediately wants to set off, and Jet offers to come along. But Katara reluctantly says no. On their way out, the group is sidetracked when Smellerbee and Longshot who happen to come across them. Katara once again turns on Jet, as he had claimed to have left his gang behind. Jet insists that he's been living a peaceful life in the city, but Smellerbee of course says that he was arrested by the Dai Li a few weeks beforehand. Toph says that they're both telling the truth, even though their stories don't match. Sokka quickly realizes that the reason Toph can tell that neither of them is lying is because they both think their telling the truth. Jet has been brainwashed. That night, a Dai Li agent is walking alone down a street when he's bumped aside by the Blue Spirit(Zuko). He chases the Spirit down an alley and attacks him, knocking the head off a decoy. Zuko quickly captures him, demanding that the agent tells him what he needs, and if he is denied, The Blue Spirit implies that he will cut off the agents head. Meanwhile, the group, plus Longshot and Smellerbee, are holding Jet. Katara guesses that Jet and the old man were used to try to lead them away from the city on a false lead. Aang, realizing that Appa may be held in the same place they brainwashed Jet, tries to get him to remember where he was taken. When trying to remember the night his home was attacked proves too painful, Katara uses her healing to try to help him out. Jet remembers that he was taken to a secret facility under a water like a lake. Sokka remembers what Joo Dee had said about her "vacation", jogging more off Jet's memory. She said she went on vacation at Lake Laogai. The base is under Lake Laogai. The group makes their way to the lake the next day, and Toph quickly finds and uncovers an underwater tunnel. They go inside, quietly making their way through the dark corridors. In one room, a group of women are being "conditioned" to be Joo Dees. Jet leads the group to a cell he thinks will be big enough to hold Appa, which he opens. Inside his cell, Appa gets up as his cell door is opened. But it's not Jet who opened this door, but The Blue Spirit. Meanwhile, the gang find themselves confronted by Long Feng and several Dai Li agents. A battle quickly breaks out. Long Feng starts to leave the room, with Aang and Jet in hot pursuit. Long Feng tries to make one last bargain with Aang, but he and Jet refuse. Instead, he extends the same invitation to Jet that he did to Joo Dee. Jet's eyes go blank, and he attacks Aang. In Appa's Cell, The Blue Spirit (Zuko) is suddenly confronted by Iroh, who asks who could be behind that mask. Then, Iroh scolds Zuko for not planning ahead, particularly over the time when they were at the North Pole, in which he would have died had the Avatar's friends not come along. He pleads with Zuko to look inside himself for once, and find his own destiny, not the one forced on him by his father. Zuko throws his mask and swords to the ground in anger. Elsewhere, Aang is trying to get Jet to snap out of his trance, while avoiding his attacks. He finally gets through to him by reminding him of his past as a Freedom Fighter. Jet recovers and Long Feng asks whats he is doing and tell him to finish Aang. Jet quickly hurls one of his hooked swords at Long Feng's head, who dodges and retaliates with a crushing blow. Long Feng escapes as the others enter the chamber. Katara tries to heal Jet, and realizes just how badly he was injured. Smellerbee asks them to go on ahead they'll be fine. Katara tells them that they can't just leave them there but Longshot speaks for the first time and tells Aang and his group that they should go an find Appa, and leave Jet to Smellerbee and himself. Jet tries to assure Katara that he'll be alright, but as they leave, Toph sorrowfully tells Sokka that Jet was lying. They finally reach Appa's cell, only to find the chains broken, and Appa gone. Thinking that the Dai Li have taken him, they rush back to the surface, only to find themselves surrounded by Long Feng and Dai Li agents. Momo suddenly takes off into the sky, only to have Appa come down and break through two of the walls the Dai Li made and Appa taking out Long Feng by biting him. Toph and Aang take this opportunity to take out the remaining Dai Li on the middle wall and flings them into the lake. Long Feng tries to attack Appa, only to have his foot caught in Appa's mouth, and gets tossed into the lake Laogai, skipping across the surface. Aang and the others joyfully reunite with there Flying friend. Meanwhile, Zuko and Iroh leave the base, barely missing the fighting. Zuko acknowledges his uncle's words, dropping the Blue Spirit mask into the water. He stands looking at it, as it sinks into the darkness

In Book 2 Chapter 17 Aang is searching around Ba Sing Se for Appa. He is lead off track by the Dai Li and Long Feng, who actually have Appa and who don't want Aang to find him. The kids run into Jet who has been brainwashed by the Dai Li he has information on a secret underground prison could this be where Appa is? The kids try to deprogram Jet so that they can get the information about the prison from him. Meanwhile, Zuko finds out that Aang is in the city and decides that he is going to find the bison first. So the race to find Appa has begun!

This episode had a little of what every episode needs, and thats a decent plot, some action, good animation, some character development, and a well written chapter. The animation quality was okay, not the best, but it worked well with the action sequences. Here we see what the Dai Li are truly capable of doing, the origin of all those Joo Dee robot cockroaches and the Gaang finally meets up with Appa. No to mention Jet dies, which added tragedy as he was redeemed and had finally changed in his final moments. The episode is very important to the plot, as the rest of the episodes would make little sense. The arch plot Avatar returns after its filler episode of Tales of Ba Sing Se. On ZuKo's story, he seemed to have taken yet another step towards converting to Aang's side by tossing his Blue Spirit alter ego down the lake. That had some good character development thanks to his Uncle yelling him to his senses. Overall a great episode that just gets better until the season finale.

The episode begins at the kids' house in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se. Sokka is attempting to draw pictures of Appa for posters Aang would drop around the city.

Awesome episode. This episode is full with information, but everything is placed neatly, and it fits almost perfectly. In this episode, we can see a full-blown fight depending solely on bending. This fight, as of January 14, 2007, is easily the best fight in the whole Avatar: The Last Airbender series. not only it involves techiques never seen again, but they actually show the lethality of bending itself, and how anyone can die, after all, this is war. This episode also has one of the most important parts regarding Zuko's development. We finally see Iroh actually getting angry at him, and showing him that slaying the Avatar is not his destiny. At the end of this episode, he chooses to let go the Avatar's flying Bison because of this.

This was great. Where to start. Jet is the first major character in the avatar universe to die. I am reminded of when Dinobot died on "Beast Wars" in the episode "Code of Hero." We also see Zuko help out the avatar by freeing Appa. This is the first real step Zuko takes on his road to redemption. The action in this one is exceptional. The way Earthbenders are able to manipulate their elemnet leads to some very exceptional fight scenes. I'm a big fan of this series and this episode is the exact reason why. It had everything and has great watchability.

As the gaang continuos to search for Appa Aang drops some lef lets. Zuko and Jet find one and Jet confronts Katara who doesnt trust him. He says that he knows where Appa is and he takes them to an abandoned wearhouse. However is is not their. Jet then runs into the freedom fighters and Toph realizes that something is wrong and they question Jet which leads them to Lake Laogai. Once thei they incounter Long Feng and a fight begins. During the fight Jet gets injuried and dies. Eleswhere Zuko find out where Appa is and releases him thanks to Uncles advice. Appa than returns to Aang and Zuko releases the Blue Spirit mask. This was a good episode because the gaang finaly find Appa and it looks like Zuko is making a turning point.

this is one of the best episode in my opinion. It is just fricken awesome. As usual, it was funny and dramatic.

overall, it was a great episode( and appa is found, so thats really good)

At Aang's house, Sokka is attempting to draw pictures of Appa, but Aang and Katara burst in with a stack of professionally-made posters they had a printer make featuring much better pictures of the lost bison than Sokka's crude drawings. The group plans on spreading the flyers all over the city, hoping someone will have some information. Aang spreads these posters by flying on his glider and dropping them throughout the city.



Meanwhile, Iroh's tea-making skills have earned him acclaim throughout the city. So much so that a rich patron is willing to give him his own tea shop in a higher level of the city, or higher ring as they are called in Ba Sing Se. His present employer attempts to dissuade Iroh, commenting to the patron about poaching his employee. When the patron mentions that Iroh can relocate to a better apartment, and have complete creative freedom over the shop's design, including naming the place, Iroh accepts. While this is a dream come true for Iroh, Zuko is much less enthusiastic, commenting sarcastically that he will try to contain his joy. He goes outside to sulk, and one of Aang's flyers falls into his hand, alerting him to the fact that the Avatar is in the city.



Later, Aang returns home, impatient to see if the flyers have had any success. He sits down on the floor, after Katara mentions it only being the first day of the flyers being passed out. There is a knock on the door after the first second that Aang has sat down for. Aang's whole face lights up and he says, "Wow, patience really does pay off!" It's Joo Dee... the first one who met them when they entered the city. She explains the mysterious disappearance as having taken a short vacation to Lake Laogai. She informs the group that dropping flyers without clearance is against the rules. Aang has had quite enough of the "rules", and enragingly tells Joo Dee off, saying that he intends to find Appa, and that she should stay out of his way. Toph is elated at the opportunity to break the rules, and expresses this joy by breaking the side wall of their home with Earthbending. The group heads out, while two Dai Li agents watch from on top of a building.



Elsewhere, Long Feng is disappointed in Joo Dee's second failure to control the Avatar and his friends. She worries that the group no longer trusts her. Long Feng simply says, "Joo Dee, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai." Joo Dee's eyes go blank, her elated sense of worry becomes subdued. Long Feng tells her to await further orders. As she leaves, Long Feng himself reveals that he is also worried that the Avatar may disrupt his control over the city and the king.



Back at their little apartment, Iroh is still excited over his new opportunity, eagerly thinking of new names while packing his luggage, when Zuko shows him the flyer. Iroh, on the other hand, warns Zuko that further pursuing the Avatar could jeopardize their attempts at rebuilding their lives. Zuko rebukes this, belittling Iroh's idea, while the retired general insists there is nothing wrong with wanting a life of peace. Zuko is still set upon reclaiming his destiny, but Iroh tells him that he should take the time to think about what Zuko himself wants from his life, and why.



Out in the city, the gang is setting up more posters when Katara runs into Jet. He tells her that he wants to help, but Katara distrusts him and attacks. Jet deflects her attacks, and tries to prove his honesty by dropping his hook swords. The others arrive, drawn by the noise, and Jet tries again to explain himself. Then Jet shows them a flyer. Toph, reading Jet's heartbeat and breathing patterns, pronounces that he's telling the truth. Katara is distrustful, but agrees. Jet leads them to a large empty warehouse, where he says they may have been holding Appa. Toph confirms it by finding a tuft of Appa's fur, and an old cleaning man says that Appa was sent off to Whale Tail Island, down near the South Pole. Aang immediately wants to set off, and Jet offers to come along. Toph asks Katara whether Jet was her boyfriend. She gets mad and says no, but Toph teases her by saying she can tell she's lying.



On their way out, the group is sidetracked when Smellerbee and Longshot happen to come across them. Katara once again turns on Jet, as he had claimed to have left the gang behind. Jet insists that he's been living alone in the city, but Smellerbee claims that he was dragged away by the Dai Li. Toph realizes they are both telling the truth, even though their stories don't match. Sokka quickly figures that Jet has been brainwashed by the Dai Li.



That night, a Dai Li agent walks alone down a street and is bumped aside by Zuko, dressed as the Blue Spirit. He chases the Spirit down an alley and attacks him, but he only attacks a straw-stuffed decoy. Zuko quickly captures him, demanding that the agent tells him what he needs to know.



Meanwhile, the group, plus Longshot and Smellerbee, are holding Jet. Katara guesses that Jet was used to try to lead them away from the city on a false lead. Aang, realizing that Appa may be held in the same place they brainwashed Jet, tries to get him to remember where he was taken. Sokka suggests Jet could be deprogrammed with a kiss from Katara, but the thought repulses her and Aang. Smellerbee suggests remembering the Fire Nation's attack on Jet's home and the subsequent death of his parents. When trying to remember, though, the memories are too painful. It is also found out that the The Rough Rhinos were responsible for the death of Jet's parents. Katara uses her healing to try to soothe it. Jet remembers that he was taken to a secret facility under a lake. Sokka remembers what Joo Dee had said about her "vacation", fully jogging Jet's memory. The base is under Lake Laogai.



The group makes their way to the lake the next day, and Toph quickly finds and uncovers the underwater entrance. They go inside, quietly making their way through the dark corridors. In one room, a group of women are blankly repeating statements told to them by a Dai Li agent. All of the women refer to themselves as Joo Dee and act like the Joo Dee who led the party around the city. Jet leads the group to a cell he thinks will be big enough to hold Appa, and opens the door. Inside his cell, Appa gets up as his cell door is opened. But Zuko is the onewho reaches the bison first.Meanwhile, the gang find themselves confronted by Long Feng and several Dai Li agents. A battle quickly breaks out. Toph shows the true mastery of earthbending when she incredibly takes down several Dai Li agents. Long Feng escapes, with Aang and Jet in hot pursuit. Long Feng tries to make one last bargain with Aang, to leave the city immediately in exchange for their freedom and Appa, but he and Jet refuse. Long Feng then tells Jet the same sentence he told Joo Dee earlier, and, like the hostess, his eyes go blank, and Jet turns on Aang.



In Appa's Cell, Zuko is confronted before he can free the bison, but he is greeted by Iroh. Zuko reveals that he is the Blue Spirit to his uncle, although Iroh's behavior indicates that he has known this for some time. Iroh scolds Zuko for his actions, claiming he lacked crucial planning when thinking of this plan. He found Appa as he wanted, but now he could do nothing with the creature. Iroh further chastises his nephew by bringing up Zuko's last attempt to capture the Avatar, in which he might have frozen to death because he did not have a follow-up plan for once he had abducted Aang. He pleads with Zuko to make his own destiny in life, and not to follow the path chosen for him by his father. Distraught, Zuko throws down the Blue Spirit mask and his swords.



Elsewhere, Aang is trying to get Jet to snap out of his trance, while avoiding his attacks. He finally gets through to him by reminding him of his past as a Freedom Fighter. The memories of his old comrades awakens Jet, and he hurls one of his hook swords at Long Feng, who dodges and retaliates with earthbending. After dealing a grievous blow to Jet, Long Feng escapes as the others enter the chamber. Katara tries to heal Jet, and realizes just how badly he was injured. Longshot, speaking for the first time in the series, tells Aang and his group that they should go and find Appa, and leave Jet to Smellerbee and himself. Jet tries to assure Katara that he'll be fine, but as they leave, Toph sorrowfully says that Jet was lying. Jet eventually died from his injuries. As the four exit the room, Smellerbee tends to Jet while Longshot readys his bow in case Dai Li agents come.



They finally reach Appa's cell, only to find the chains broken, and Appa gone. Thinking that Long Feng had taken him, they rush back to the surface, only to find themselves surrounded by the Dai Li. Momo suddenly takes off into the sky, only to have Appa come down and break through the Dai Li trap. Long Feng tries to attack Appa, only to have his foot caught in Appa's mouth, with the bison then throwing him into the lake, and Long Feng's body skips 3 times on the water before sinking, followed by Appa spitting out one of his shoes. Aang and the others joyfully reunite with the Flying Bison. As the Avatar crew fly away, Katara looks back at the lake, deeply saddened by Jet's fate. The group hugs.Back at the lake, Zuko and Iroh exit the underground facility, and Iroh comments that Zuko did the right thing. Zuko looks at the Blue Spirit mask, and Iroh tells him to leave it behind. Zuko then swiftly drops the mask into the lake, never to be seen again.

This episode, while mostly about the Gaang finding Appa, also is immensely focused on Zuko and his developments. When the Gaang spreads leaflets and posters bearing Appa's likeness, Zuko happens upon one and his newly-dormant drive to capture the Avatar is rekindled. Iroh tries to reason with him, but to no avail. Zuko sets out to find the Avatar's bison and - well, that's his problem. As soon as he finds the Appa, Iroh appears as well, in a last-ditch attempt to persuade Zuko to take the path to peace and prosperity. Zuko's conscience and his desires clash with a resounding yell of anguish as he decides his destiny. Finally, Uncle's lessons pay off and Zuko chooses to set Appa free. This is the first episode that we have seen Uncle Iroh really get passionate about Zuko's decisions. It shows just how much he cares for Zuko. (Not forgetting, of course, his revelation in "Seige of the North part 1)

A series classic indeed. Aang and the others put up posters of appa in ba sing se, while katara notices that jet's back. Jet helps with the search for appa. Then later on, it is revealed that jet has been brainwashed by long feng. Aang and the others enter lake laogai, where one of the greatest battles takes place. Surprisingly enough, long feng kills jet, and Zuko decides to free appa. Finally, Aang is reunited with Appa. Also, Zuko listens to what iroh has to say, and gives up the blue spirit mask. Now it is time for Aang to meet the earth king.

Continuing the search for Appa, the Gaang decides to put flyers around Ba Sing Se, but when Jet turns up, he exclaims that he has changed, and that he knows where appa is! they soon get Jet to remember everything, then he ells them about an underground facillity were brainwashing and conspireing takes place. Zuko is also looking for appa so he can steal him. will he get to Appa before Aang does?

the Gaang gets to the facility, but before they can get to Appa, they are ambushed by long feng and the dai lee! They start minor battle betweeen the dai lee and themselves. Long feng starts to run, then Aang and Jet go after him. Long Feng ends up getting Jet in his control, and Jet starts attacking Aang! when aang gets him to snap out of it, Jet throws his blade strait at long feng, he dodges it, and attacks Jet, launching a stone through the ground, and strait up to his stomache with a devasting blow. He cant get healed, and he soon dies. the gaang goes to appa's cell to see if he is there, but no! Zuko had gotten there first! they go out side, and get traped by the dai lee. then out of nowhere, appa comes down, and breaks through the trap, Iroh convinced Zuko to let Appa go free! The gaang rejoins appa, and it ends with a happy ending

This episode exemplifies how emotionally engaging this show is. I was heartbroken when Jet died, I really was. However it was realistic in its execution. He never got to avenge his family and we saw just what a troubled life he led. Zuko also made a pivotal decisiona and freed Appa. Aww. Iroh yeleld at him, too, which is a first. This episode had one of the most mature plotlines and coolest fight scenes, too. Very creative bending and sworfight. Katara's eaction to seeing Jet again and stuff was really funny and Sokka's comments, as usual. We also discover another one of Toph's many talents, lie detection. A very excellent episode. WHY JET!?

After two episodes which didn't fit the mold of the typical Avatar episode, a normal kind of episode was a great relief(not that the previous two are bad episodes). I had no idea how amazing of a relief it would be, though.



First, a (rather long) summary:

The episode starts off with a few comical scenes as the gang looks to put up Lost Appa posters throughout the city. Blind jokes and bad drawings serve as the main source of humor, but when Aang yells at Joo Dee, it is both comical and significant, as the group breaks its ties with the state.



Elsewhere, a great opportunity presents itself to Iroh. Zuko ignores this and stomps outside being his usual self, only to find an Appa poster. Overcome by a long-lost urge to capture the Avatar, he confronts Iroh, who tries to convince him not to start trouble. A deep, wisdom-filled conversation takes place as Iroh gives his advice and Zuko rejects it, beginning to plan on how to capture Appa. This is not, however, their last conflict.



As Katara continues putting up posters, Jet approaches her, signaling any fan's long-waited-for reunion between Jet and Aang's group. The last time Jet was seen on the show, however, he was being brainwashed by the Dai Li. Toph, with a newly revealed lie-detecting ability, convinces Katara to trust and listen to Jet, who leads them to a place where he heard of a giant furry creature being held. The kids are told to travel to Whaletail Island at the other end of the Earth Kingdom and begin setting off before Smellerbee and Longshot find and warmly approach Jet, who had said he didn't have his gang anymore. Sokka quickly deduces that Jet must have been brainwashed, for Toph says that both Jet and Smellerbee have regular heartbeats and both THINK they're telling the truth.



The group ties Jet down and begins trying to break him of his brainwashing. At first, several comedic attempts fail, but at Toph's suggestion, Jet begins to try and trigger his emotions. With Katara's help, he succeeds and brings back his memory. He remembers where he was brainwashed, and the group heads to Lake Laogai in hopes of finding Appa. They are not the only ones who have learned of a base under the lake, however, as Zuko heads there as well.



Once under the lake, the story begins to take several exciting twists and turns. Aang's group first passes a room with a Dai Li agent training brainwashed Joo Dee women, a scene reminiscent of the creepy ending of "City of Walls and Secrets". When Jet explains that he thinks there is a cell big enough to hold Appa ahead, the viewer is lured into a well-planned twist. Jet opens the door before him. Appa looks up as the door to his cell opens. The Blue Spirit, Zuko, walks through that door and asks Appa, "Expecting someone else?"



"Oh my god, yes," says the viewer.



Jet opens a door not to Appa, but to a vast cavern which the group enters. The door closes and Long Feng appears, sending several Dai Li agents to take Aang's group into custody. Arguably the show's best fight ensues as Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot team up to face the "protectors" of Ba Sing Se. When Long Feng realizes his men are losing, he flees, only to be pursued by Aang and Jet. Long Feng officially confirms that the Dai Li have Appa, and begins to bargain with Aang. When told he's in no position to do so, he triggers Jet's brainwashing and sics the fighter on Aang.



Zuko explains to Appa, "You're mine now," only to have the door open behind him and Iroh follow him in. When Zuko asks what Iroh is doing, Iroh quickly begins to lose his temper. He eventually breaks the cool composure he has had with Zuko the entire series and a shouting match ensues. Iroh explains that Zuko has the power to determine his own destiny, and that he should decide just what his destiny is instead of chasing the destiny his father created for him. Zuko replies that he must do this, making clear his narrow-minded hope of returning home when capturing the Avatar and his desire to do nothing else. Eventually belittled and defeated, Zuko is reduced to screaming and throwing his mask and swords down.



Meanwhile, Jet viciously attacks Aang, only to have Aang remind him that he is a Freedom Fighter, once again breaking Jet's brainwashing and inducing a flood of memories, including the raid that killed his family. Here the viewer learns the killers of his parents and village, the Rough Rhinos from previous episodes. Jet then turns and attacks Long Feng, who delivers a swift blow and incapacitates Jet before escaping. Katara and the others arrive, but she can't heal Jet. At Smellerbee's and Longshot's suggestion, the main group leaves to find Appa, and Toph says that Jet is lying about being fine. When Aang and the others find Appa's cell, he is gone, and they hurry outside to catch up to him and, they assume, Long Feng.



Outside, they are surrounded by Dai Li agents when Appa suddenly dives in from above and lays waste to the Earthbenders, including Long Feng. After a touching, tearful reunion, the gang jumps on Appa's back and flies away, hugging as a completed family, although Katara tearfully looks back to the waters which still hold Jet's unknown fate. Zuko emerges from the base and helps Iroh out when Iroh tells him that freeing Appa was the right thing to do. Zuko drops his Blue Spirit mask into the water as Iroh says, "Let it go."



Now, the analysis and review:

WOW. That's all I could say by the end of this episode. First, it was funny when it tried to be. Second, it tied together Jet's story with the gang's remarkably well for such a speedy reunion. Third, the action was a blast as Toph demonstrated some extreme earthbending prowess, especially for a blind girl. Fourth, the twists and turns with Zuko were astounding.



But most importantly, the emotions. At the end of the episode "Jet", Katara felt betrayed and saddened by Jet, especially since she had developed somewhat of a schoolgirl crush on him. Both the anger and the love were present when she first met back up with Jet, attacking him and pinning him to a wall...with a little blush. Once Jet's brainwashing was broken, however, she believed he had truly changed and instantly became more attached to him. This was tested dearly when Long Feng dealt Jet a fatal blow and Katara could do nothing but leave with tears. Her feelings also seem to be mutual, as part of Jet's flashbacks included Katara close to him. Unfortunately, these emotions were shattered by the end of the episode.



As far as Aang goes, he seemed pretty normal throughout most of the episode, but upon Appa's return, the viewer has to feel happy for both of them. The only remnants of the Air Nomad civilization, the two which survived 100 years in an iceberg, were finally together again.



The most moving of all was Zuko's big decision. After weeks and weeks of pushing, Iroh's message finally came through, but not before Zuko's valiant attempts to cling to his own ways. Iroh breaks when he confronts Zuko the second time, even resorting to intellectual mockery of Zuko's silly plan to capture Appa. "What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of TEA for him!?" Zuko displays his hopeless adherence to the idea that capturing the Avatar will restore his father's love and his honor, grunting and saying "Stop it, Uncle. I HAVE to do this!" while looking away. Iroh confronts him with the ultimate questions, "Who are you...and what do YOU want?" to which Zuko cannot reply. Throughout all of this, eerie music plays, continuing from the scene with Long Feng, Aang, and Jet. It, as always, adds a hint of emotion and an air of somber suspense to the screaming match. At the end of the episode, Zuko's release of the Blue Spirit mask symbolizes the release of that identity, of that part of himself. Instead of hiding that person which seeks to do good things such as helping the Avatar, he for now feels comfortable helping others openly. Character development in a blatant way. A metamorphosis, as Iroh later states.



Avatar's my favorite show, and this is my favorite episode. It does so much in so many ways for the characters, the story, and most importantly, for the person watching. Characters break physically, mentally, and emotionally, setting up for the season's epic final three episodes. Easily, in my book, the best episode yet.

I love this episode and the contained, in my opinion, the best fight of the series. Cool and the joke of Toph made ajaja lol.Well it bigan went Aang and Katara burst in with a stack of professionally-made posters they had a printer for hoping someone will have some information Later, Aang returns home, impatient to see if the flyers have had any success then a knock on the door It's Joo Dee She informs the group that dropping flyers without clearance is against the rules. Aang has had quite enough of the "rules", and tells Joo Dee off, Toph get happy at the opportunity to break the rules, and expresses this joy by breaking the side wall of their home i do not know why she did that but was fun.Out in the city, the gang is setting up more posters when Katara runs into Jet... oh oh Katara distrusts him and attacks.Jet try to tells her that he wants to help.thanks of god that Toph was there. Toph pronounces that he's telling the truth. Jet leads them to a large empty warehouse Toph confirms it by finding a tuft of Appa's fur, and an old cleaning man says that Appa was sent off to Whale Tail Island lie to to make the gang take a other way.On their way out, the group is sidetracked when Smellerbee and Longshot friend of jet. Jet insists that he's been living alone in the city, but Smellerbee claims that he was dragged away by the Dai Li.both telling the truth Sokka quickly figures that Jet has been brainwashed by the Dai Li.jajajajaja lol The group makes their way to the lake the next day, and Toph quickly finds and uncovers the underwater entrance.



this is the cool part in a room the gang find themselves confronted by Long Feng and Dai Li agents. A battle breaks out. Toph kick the ass of several Dai Li agents. Long Feng escapes,Aang and Jet pursuit. Long Feng . Long Feng then tells Jet a sentence he told Joo Dee and, like the hostess, his eyes go blank, and Jet turns on Aang.Aang is trying to get Jet to snap out of his trance He finally gets through Jet, and he attack Long Feng, who missed and retaliates with earthbending. After dealing a grievous blow to Jet, Long Feng rat escapes Katara tries to heal Jet, and realizes just how badly he was injured Longshot readys his bow and that made my cry.They finally reach Appa's cell, only to find the chains broken, and Appa gone thanks Zuko,the gang find themselves surrounded by the Dai Li but appa save the gang and throw to the lake a long feng jajajajaa cooolll es one of the best epi .viva panama y latinoamerica

There was so much upset in the fan community over this episode when it first aired. Just about everyone was convinced that Jet had lived through his apparent internal injuries at the hand of Long Feng. However in an interview with Sci-Fi Wire Mike and Bryan confirmed that Jet was indeed dead. This came as a real shock to those who had held out hope that he would return in season three. For me I thought it an appropriate end for the galliant and idealistic Freedom Fighter, not because I wanted to see him killed off but because Jet was always a sad product of the war and death at the hand of the hypno-evil overlord Long Feng, as devastating as it was to watch, was very realistic. The fact is war takes causalities, even good people. Jet redeemed himself and apologized to Aang, just in time to die. A very sad but deeply moving episode. Toph: He's lying.

This episode... it is one of the better installments of the series. Very revealing. Of course, Aang and company meet with a brainwashed Jet who doesn't know he is brainwashed. Then, Smellerbee and Longshot meet up with him and then Jet gets back on track, thanks to Katara. As they go to Lake Laogai to find Appa, the Blue Spirit returns to find Appa. What does he do? Watch the episode to find out! Although some people say the animation is somewhat lacking, the action scenes were well done andthe ending... *sniff* Let's just say it may bring you to tears. Great episode overall!

This episode was good, it had some drama also. We finally got to see what became of Jet, although it was sad. I thought the storyline of this episode was good, It answered some questions and gave me what I wanted. Some big twists and changes, Some good was found in Zuko and Aang had found Appa who had been lost. I thought the Animation was good, I liked this episode because it also had Jet and some of his freedom fighters team up With Aang. Overall, I think it's a great example and addition to the Avatar: The Last Airbender series.

one of my personal favorites. Jet returns and is finnaly found by the gang. It was really suprising when the door to appa's cage opened and it wasn't jet but the blue spirit. Also i think the storyline was awesome, using jet as teh key to the whole plot, it was really a tradgedy, jet's death, he died washing away his sins to the avatar and to the world by sacrificing himslef to find appa and help the gang's quest. It was really great to see appa return to the gang after so many episodes, i really missed appa and wanted him back. Longfeng was also finnaly but out of business and i think the gang may finnaly have a lead to winning the war.

This episode held so much promise. Jet returns after his kidnapping by the Dai Lee and offers his help to the gaang but is not trusted. Alas, this episode was not great. Why?



1) The episode has the animation some fans have said makes the characters look like monkeys.

2) Katara has the most interaction with Jet; considering her crush on him in "Jet" this is reasonable, but she overshadows even Sokka whom "Jet" circled about. The most interaction Sokka had with Jet here was when he stuck the wheat in Jet's mouth. Sokka even teasingly hints Katara should KISS JET! Even Aang who at most idolized Jet interacted with him much more than Sokka.

3) Zuko didn't appear enough. And him letting go of his Blue Spirit alias wasn't very impressive. Unlike Spiderman to Peter Parker and Batman to Bruce Wayne, the Blue Spirit to Zuko is nothing like Peter and Bruce unable to let go of their hero sides; there was nothing really interesting about Zuko's alias.



This episode is an example of the episodes focusing too much on drama and action than on character relations. Sure the episode was epic but it completely forgot about Jet and Sokka! "Jet" was about JET and SOKKA yet the sort of sequel, this episode, neglected their relationship. Sokka just forgives and forgets and even suggests Katara, his beloved sister, should kiss Jet, who is apparently a chum now.

Redeeming qualities:

1) Toph is still funny and we learn more about her Earthbending abilities.

2) Awesome fight.

3) Appa returns.

4) Iroh comes down hard on Zuko's angsting head.

Well basically the crew starts handing out Appa missing posters to everyone(even Zuko gets a word) and then Katara finds Jet, who was brainwashed. I loved this part as well when she totally whooped his butt with awesome waterbending. Then the whole gaang comes along and Toph senses that he's not lying and that he lost his gang. Zuko is still obsessed with finding Aang. Sad enough that Jet finds his crew and Toph says that thier both telling the truth and somehow someway Sokka immediately knows Jet was brainwashed. All of them take him into hostage. He tells them(after a brain un washing session) that Appa is at Lake Laogai. They go there and a lot of cool fighting ensues. In the end Jet dies and I could've cried at the end when they're all riding on Appa and Katara is so sad look on her face even though I don't support Jetara it must've been so painful for her to go through that. Really saddening. I probably shedded a tear at that part. Writing about even makes me cry but yeah really, really superb episode one of the best for this show. That's my review.

well...lets start from the beginning shall we? with iroh and zuko. well iroh is getting a new tea shop... i thought it was so funny when iroh was trying to name the tea shop. "the tea weaville! no thats stupid" it was stupid. anyhoo zuko found out that the avatar was in the city, i was afraid he was going to go balistic, but he stayed rather calm and i took that as a good sign. then he went to find appa, i was kinda scared he would be beat up by that di-lee soilder. and then he found appa, it tricked you i thought it was jet that had opened the door. but yes his uncle ended up comeing and yelling at him, but its true zuko doesnt think things though, he needs to work on that. but in the end he had let appa go, i was so happy, i was all like 'YES!' and then he through away his bluespirit mask... that i wasnt to happy about, i kinda liked that look for him but it was a huge step for him, man this is great he is turing good!!! ok now to the aang gang! well the posters sokka was making was very funny and toph's comment was funny too! as was when she was mad cuz they thought she couldnt hang up signs and she put it up backwards and she was all like "its upside down isnt it?" woo so funny. but i did think her breaking there house was a bit stupid, break rules yea but break your houes... no. then we finnally saw jet!! after his brain washing, and i gotta say that i think he was better nicer. katara was very b*t*hy though, not just to jet cuz lets face it who can blame her but to that old man just sweeping she like bit his head off for no reason. i mean she could have gone a bit easier on jet though still... hahaha them trying to make jet remember sokka put straw in his mouth!!!! man i loved that part so much!!!! jet was preety cute as a little boy though, its not really a suprise that he went wack. so they get underground and we see the room with all the joo-dee's in it, talk about freaky! and then they trick you by thinking that they had found appa! but the fight was really good! they work great together, you can see why jet and longshot were team mates, i just wish i saw what smellerbee did cuz i dont think i saw her do anything in the fight. i also found it alittle stupid that only two went after the guy...i forgot his name. poor jet he got brian washed and attacked aang, then he dies?!?!?! yes he did i just know it! the way everyone was acting you just knew it. and when they were leaveing longshot put an arrow in his bow, i dont know what other people thought but i figured he was doing that to put jet out of his misery, cuz i mean they lived on there own before, im sure they did that!! also longshot talked!!!! and that in itself is worth me scoring this a 10! they picked a good vocie for him too. so at the end it looks like they got traped but i mean come on they could have left by the water! but appa saved them!!! all the bad people flew every where! they looked like rag dolls!! so a good ending but alot left undone. i just want to know what happened to jets friends. the one thing i did not like about this episode was that they walked around underground and no one even tryed to stop them!!(zuko and iroh too) so yea very sad, poor jet.
