Book 3: Fire
Chapter 1: The Awakening
The Awakening involves Aang waking up on a Fire Nation ship after his defeat at Ba Sing Se in the final episode of Book 2. The Gaang are on their way further into Fire Nation territory in order to attempt to hide right under enemy noses. Meanwhile, Prince Zuko is working his way back home to the Fire Nation.This episode pieces together the leftover strands in preparation of the third season of Avatar. As such, it lacks any real action and constitutes in the most part to the development of the story into a manner that is like piecing together a broken puzzle again.
Although I found the episode felt pushed together at parts (for example, was not expecting
Katara to cry at her father) it was still awesome to see the Gaang in new Fire Nation robes, and to finally see Zuko's father (was a slight anti-climax, but it'll make it more interesting in the long-run, as it makes it more realistic and down-to-earth).Altogether, the episode doesn't completely solve Zuko's betrayal, but it does completely solve the Avatar's return, and shows the full repercussions of the Avatar's failure at Ba Sing Se. Overall, a very dark entrance into the new Season, but one which was greatly anticipated.
