* Upon discovering that the cuckoo titular king was his childhood friend, Aang parrots something he'd always tell his old friend Bumi in the past, eyes noticeably filled with TearsOfJoy before running into Bumi's arms for a hug. After a hundred years of being frozen and falling distraught over the loss of loved ones and friends, Aang found a surviving friend. Aw, and they both haven't changed a bit(well, for Aang, literally).

** Before the group leaves to continue their journey, Aang and Bumi ride down the Omashu chute system just like they use to do.

to:

** Even after Aang escapes with the help of two Southern Water Tribe villagers, Zuko still doesn't go back to interrogate the villagers or attack them in revenge.



** In general, Sokka’ plot line. He starts off with a sexist view on women and he learns the hard way that girls can fight just as well as guys. Rather than become resentful towards Suki, he owns up to his attitude and seeks to learn from her.

* Shyu helping Aang and his friends get to the sanctuary. While the show has given Iroh some lighter moments, Shyu is the first truly good Fire Nation member the gang has met that was their ally. He also is aware that his home country is in desperate need of the Avatar just like the rest of the world.

* Aang tries to leave Katara and Sokka in Sentin Village while he flies to the Fire Nation out of concern for their safety. Neither of them have any of it.

** Sokka silently calling Katara out for her attitude toward Aang.




to:

* While he's later far more aggressive towards the Gaang, Jet at least gently tries to explain the necessity (in his mind) of flooding the village to a hesitant The Duke.



* Lieutenant Jee is right behind Zuko in rescuing the helmsman, and carries the man down the ladder after rescuing him. Also the fact that his frustration towards Zuko is mainly fueled by the prince's disregard for his fellow crew members.

members and lack of respect towards Iroh.




to:

* Towards the beginning of the episode, there's a brief scene of Lieutenant Jee respectfully assisting Zuko in speculating where Aang might be. It seems as though the events of the last episode made Jee a lot more loyal to the prince's mission.


Added DiffLines:

* Chief Arnook, though clearly saddened by his daughter's death, never once tries to blame Sokka, and instead expresses pride in his daughter's sacrifice.

Added DiffLines:

* It's fleeting and serves as to further hammer home how miserable Zuko is in his exile, but the flashback to a time when Zuko and sister were happily playing in a field shows that he indeed has some happy memories with his family. There was even a brief shot of someone warmly placing their hand on Zuko's shoulder, implied to be ''Ozai'' [[AbusiveParent of all people]], indicating that perhaps there was a time that Ozai actually tried to be a warm father.

* When Sokka finds Aang crying, his first instinct is to softly assure him that he wasn't {{really}} going to eat Momo. When he notices Gyatso's skeleton surrounded by dead Fire Nation soldiers, he immediately tries to comfort Aang in a brotherly sort of way.

** Another, and more subtle example, is when Zuko and his crew are trapped, and Zuko orders them to free the ship and chase after the Avatar…as soon as they finish thawing out their frozen comrades, showing that despite his strict command, and obsession over chasing the Avatar, he’ll put his crew’s well-being first if push comes to shove.

* Despite being a full antagonist at this point, Zuko accepts Aang's deal not to attack the Water Tribe if he comes quietly. Even as an antagonist, Zuko proves that he has honor.

to:

* The Senlin Village elder kindly comforting Katara and kindly reassuring her that he's confident that both Aang and Sokka would return soon.



* When Sokka goes to warn the Fire Nation-occupied village of Jet's attack, while the Fire Nation soldiers initially don't believe once an older Fire Nation man, whom Sokka [[AndroclesLion saved from Jet]], vouches for him, the soldiers [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure waste no time]] evacuating the village. This shows that even though the Fire Nation may be TheEmpire, they are not all heartless.

to:

* When Zuko notices that the helmsman is in danger of falling to his death, he immediately climbs the ladder to save him. Despite earlier declaring that he cares little about the safety of his crew, when it really comes down to it Zuko proves that he's willing to put his life in danger to save them.
** Furthermore, when they spot the Gaang flying nearby, Zuko declines pursuing them in favor of getting them out of the storm safely.
** Zuko apologizing to Iroh for his earlier disrespect and rebuff. Iroh gently accepts his apology.

* Despite Zuko being his enemy, Aang barely hesitates to rescue him when he's knocked out and Zhao's soldiers are rapidly approaching.



* Sokka and Katara changing their minds and going back for Aang.

to:

* Bato is rather understanding when he finds out that Aang was withholding the letter from him, even though it was he who the letter was addressed to. Instead of chewing Aang out for his action, he instead tries to calm Sokka down and urges him not to make any rash decisions in his anger.
* Sokka and Katara changing their minds and going back for Aang. Notably it's Sokka who insists that they stay with Aang, despite previously being furious with him.




to:

** When Aang decides not to learn from Pakku in protest for Katara, she immediately tries to reason with both of them. Despite her obvious frustration towards the situation, she acknowledges that Aang's Avatar duties are far more important.



** It's also nice that after his sexism in the past episode, Katara had become Pakku's star student.

to:

** It's also nice that after his sexism in the past episode, Katara had become Pakku's star student. This shows that he genuinely moved past his sexist beliefs.



* The episode yet again shows Zuko's inner goodness. Zhao, a man that has belittled and even tried to murder Zuko is grabbed by the Moon Spirit. Zuko starts to run only to turn back and offer Zhao his hand in rescue. Depending on how people interpret Zhao refusing the offer it's either prideful 'I'd rather die than be rescued by you' or a silent 'save yourself!'

* Roku’s conversation with Aang about Sozin’s Comet. When introducing himself to the boy, he has a gentle smile and jokingly asks what took him so long. He never expresses anger or frustration with Aang as he tells him about Sozin’s Comet. Not to mention him having full confidence that Aang will save the world from Ozai.

* Aang asks Katara if she can teach him some of the waterbending that she taught herself. Katara at first is mildly jealous when Aang starts picking up on her movements faster. Aang notices and points out kindly that she had to teach herself, but he has a great instructor already. Katara smiles.
