There's a view of the exterior of Zuko and Iroh's apartment. Cut to the interior. Iroh is preparing food when Zuko awakens.

Zuko: What's that smell?

Iroh: It's jook. I'm sure you wouldn't like it.

Zuko: [Sniffs.] Actually, it smells delicious. I'd love a bowl, Uncle. [Holds a bowl up.]

Iroh: Now that your fever is gone, you seem different somehow.

Zuko: [Optimistically.] It's a new day. We've got a new apartment, new furniture, and today's the grand opening of your new tea shop. [Moves to a table and sits.] Things are looking up, Uncle. [Starts drinking the jook. Iroh's shocked expression changes to a smile.]

Aang, Katara, and Sokka fly on Appa to a Water Tribe camp, where Hakoda is.

Aang: You haven't seen your dad in over two years. You must be so excited!

Sokka: [Almost throwing up.] I know I should be, but, I just feel sick to my stomach. [Holds his stomach.]

Katara: Sokka, ew! [moves from her brother] but I gotta say, I'm excited but nervous to see dad.

Aang: Don't be nervous. He's going to be so happy to see you! [He puts his hand on Sokka's and Katara's shoulder who smiles.]

Sokka: So what about you? Are you nervous to meet this guru?

Aang: Not at all. I'm ready to master the Avatar State. I'll do whatever it takes. [Sokka and katara gets off Appa.] See you in a week. Yip yip!

Aang and Appa fly away.

Sokka and Katara arrives at the camp, where all the warriors greet them both warmly.

Water Tribe warrior: Sokka, Katara, good to see you.

He looks and sees the main tent. Inside, Hakoda, the sibling's father, is looking at a map with more warriors, including Bato, now with scars on his arm. Bato nudges Hakoda and Hakoda becomes happy upon seeing Sokka and Katara.

Hakoda: Sokka. Katara.
Sokka: Hi, Dad.
Katara: Dad..

The three embrace.

Back at the Earth King's Royal Palace, the "Kyoshi Warriors", Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in disguise, sit before King Kuei.

Kuei: Look Bosco! The Kyoshi Warriors are here to protect us! Aren't you excited? [Bosco yawns.] It's been a difficult week for me. My most trusted advisor, Long Feng, and his Dai Li agents tried to take control of Ba Sing Se from me.

Azula: It's terrible when you can't trust the people who are closest to you.

Kuei: [Pets Bosco.] But there is good news. As we speak, the Council of Five is meeting to plan an invasion of the Fire Nation this summer, on the day of a solar eclipse.
