(Rhetorical) question: Does Ty Lee know Azula, not “the universe,” was the one responsible for her last show being really dangerous? She has to, right? “The universe” doesn’t tell a circus attendant to light a net on fire, and Azula wasn’t exactly subtle. Maaaaan, that is some dick behavior toward your friend! After the performance, Ty solemnly informs Azula that “the universe has given me strong hints that it’s time for a career change,” so she’ll be happy to join her in her hunt for Iroh and Zuko. Sokka, Katara, and the resistance marshall the civvies, while Aang chooses to stay behind and look for Bumi.īack to Azula, who cooly intimidates the circus ringmaster into setting Ty Lee’s safety net on fire and releasing wild animals while she’s balancing on a highwire. Strategic retreat, in this case, could be better. If all the Earth Kingdom citizens in Omashu pretend to have Pentapox, they’ll be able to leave the city, regroup, and figure out what to do next. Aang, though shocked and disappointed, realizes that maaaaaybe Bumi had a point with the whole “violence is not the answer” thing. Resistance leader Beardy tells Aang that King Bumi totally punked out when the Fire Nation attacked, just surrendering without even trying to fight back. Azula tells Ty Lee she respect her decision, but she wants to watch her show before she goes on her way. Ty Lee informs Azula that, for all she wants to help her-and you can tell she does, because actual lady villain friendship circle-she’s actually pretty fine where she is (“My aura’s never been pinker!”).

The first person she searches out is her childhood friend Ty Lee, a bubbly nobleman’s daughter who left behind the court lifestyle in favor of literally joining the circus. Meanwhile, Azula decides her hunt for Zuko and Iroh could use some stealth, so she ditches the royal procession and assembles a team.
