We open to see Toph teaching Aang earthbending amd Aang failing miserably.
Toph: The key to earthbending is your stance. You've got to be steady and strong. Rock is a stubborn element. If you're going to move it, you've got to be like a rock yourself.
Aang: Like a rock. Got it.
Toph: Good. Now the actual motion of this one is pretty simple. *Slams the rock against the canyon wall* Okay, you ready to give it a try?
Aang: I'm ready. *Tries to move it, but instead he is forced backward into Appa*
Y/N: Are you? Are you really? Cause I don't think you are.
Sokka: *Amused* Rock beats airbender!
Katara and Toph are standing next to the boulder Aang tried to move. Aang walks up, a hand behind his head.
Katara: I don't understand what went wrong. He did it exactly the way you did.
Aang: Maybe there's another way ... what if I came at the boulder from another angle?
Toph: No. That's the problem. You've got to stop thinking like an airbender. There's no different angle, no clever solution, no trickety-trick that's going to move that rock. You've got to face it head on. And when I say head on, I mean like this... *Jumps up and destroys the rock with her head*
Aang: Whoa!
Toph begins to walk away, but Katara stops her.
Katara: *Trying to help Toph teach* I've been training Aang for a while now. He really responds well to a positive teaching experience. Lots of encouragement and praise. Kind words. If he's doing something wrong, maybe a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Toph: Thanks, Katara. A gentle nudge. I'll try that. *Moments later; yelling at the top of her lungs* Keep your knees high, Twinkle Toes!
Y/N: Somehow, I don't think that's gentle. *to Katara* Alright next I'll teach you the water prison jutsu.
Cut to Aang carrying a large rock on his back, struggling to hold it up. The camera zooms out, showing Toph in the background stomping down and causing pillars of rock to rise underneath Aang's feet as he walks. Aang loses his balance and falls off-screen, meanwhile Katara is practicing her handsigns with Y/N's eyes active to find any mistakes and fix them.
Y/N: No! The Ram is this! *shows the correct handsign* Not "this". *shows the handsign Katara made*
Katara: I see now.
The next scene shows Toph digging through rock with her fingers. The camera pans over and Aang rubs his hands together and tries to do the same thing, but smashes his hand against the rock and grunts in pain.
Toph: Rock-like!
Next, Toph gives Aang one of Sokka's weapons, much to Sokka's dismay. Cut to Sokka's face with Toph's hand holding him back. He grunts, trying to move forward. Cut to a side-view, showing Sokka struggling to get his club back from Toph, who is holding it to the side and preventing Sokka from grabbing it. She shoves him backward and he stalks offscreen. She hands the weapon to Aang. He is blindfolded as he tries to smash rocks Toph brings up. He finally gets one after about five times. Cut to Toph, who nods in approval.
