** Why, specifically, does Zuko feel that the Ember Island Players "''butchered'' Love Amongst the Dragons every year"? Assuming that their's was the only production of the play he's seen, what would he have to compare it to? Why wouldn't he just say that he dislikes that particular play, since every production he's seen has been terrible? Because he's echoing his mother's comments, and she's remembering her troupe's production of it, and how she would have played the part herself (keep in mind she was chosen for the part, but never got to perform it.) One of the many things she's had to leave behind. Or, it could be that the Ember Island Players really suck. Who knows?

*** "Started out okay" could mean anything; when Ozai first meets Ursa, he does seem happy to be marrying her, but he also callously states that she can never see or communicate with her family ever again not long after. We also have no idea when they had their first child into the marriage; it could have been anywhere from a few years to a few weeks before they started trying to get an heir.

Azula, on the other hand, Ozai was sure that she was his child and thus held her more passionately than he did with Zuko.

* Uh oh, did Azula just kill someone again? It looks like Zuko was too late this time, or was he? Someone was hit for sure by her lightning bolt, because someone did yell "NO!""NO!"
** Maybe Zuko managed to redirect it? The [[BigNo "NO!"]] could have been Misu reacting to the lightning being aimed at her and Rafa, or it could have been Zuko reacting to it.

*The spirit wolf is the same one that Aang saw when he entered the Spirit World to talk to Koh the Facestealer. It's possible that the Mother of Faces and Koh are two sides of the same spirit/aspect, with the wolf serving both halves.

** Iroh had no heirs, which means the thrones would have been given to Zuko or Azula eventually. there was no reason why Iroh could not be the heir and still give the throne to his nephew or niece other than Ozais desire for power. Azulon may have been sincere in his desire not to betray Iroh after his own son had been killed in the war.

** Good PR. Thanks to Azula's lie about Zuko as the one who killed Aang(and since Azula had just managed to single-handlely conquer Ba Sing Se, Ozai had no reason to not trust her), Zuko has basically become a war hero, and the idea of a banished prince returning home in such a glorious manner is a stuff of classic stories that would be too tempting to not use to silence Ozai's enemies in politics and improve even more his image in the nation. Besides, Zuko has had the chance to witness the earth kingdom first-hand which means he may had have more accurate information than any of his spies, not to mention that Zuko was basically known as the hero who efeated the avatar, which means Ozai wwas more limited at how he could deal with Zuko without raising suspicion. As far as we know, Zuko just happened to be extremely useful for Ozai at the time.

* As Zuko has stated, Ozai believing that [[spoiler: Zuko is not his son]] would explain why he would banished Zuko without second thought. At first, it makes perfect sense until you realize that if Ozai truly believed that, why did he say that Zuko can return home and restore his rightful place as heir to the throne if [[SnipeHunt he catches the Avatar?]] Why would Ozai risk the chance of giving the throne to [[spoiler: an "illegitimate" son and heir]]? Sure, the Avatar has been missing for a hundred years and it's an almost hopeless chance, but it's nevertheless [[HopeSpot still a chance]], and ''The Search'' demonstrated that [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Ozai does not tolerate with chances]], as he fired Vachir for failing to confirm that Ikem is dead, despite Vachir's claims otherwise. And why did Ozai welcome back Zuko with open arms after supposedly killing the Avatar, if [[spoiler: Ozai firmly believed that Zuko is not his son]]?
