* Fire Lord Zoryu reveals his true colors. A cunning, cold and manipulating mastermind who appeared before Kyoshi as a lost child is now taking advantage of Yun's attack to move against his political enemies, planning to ''kill the whole Saowon clan'' to make an example of them. The contrast between the humble and insecure boy and the Ozai-esque cruelty he shows later is quite chilling

* '''YUN.''' ''Yangchen protect us, Yun''. He has apparently gone completely mad, ends up killing, then absorbing Father Glowworm, then when he arrives outside of the Spirit World, ends up beginning a bloody path of revenge, such as holding up the Fire Nation party Kyoshi and Rangi were attending, bending away the portraits of the Fire Lords ''and'' Avatars, and ''somehow'' managing to bend earth like water to the point where ''Kyoshi herself'' assumes he is genuinely an Avatar (if only partly) now. At this point he can be considered a OmnicidalManiac.
** His descent into villainy begins with his being cruelly refused a drink of water by the owner of a tea house (after he'd nearly died from his experiences in the Spirit World!) leading him to start furiously ranting at the customers for their ingratitude after how hard he's worked to be the Avatar for them. A terrified mine worker tries to defuse the situation by offering him her water, but it's too late; Yun creates a blade from the ceramic pots around the building ''and murders everyone inside.'' And he ''smiles at them''. Then proceeds to kill everyone else in the place who wasn't fast enough o flee and mocks the corpse of one of his victims, while bathing himself with buckets of the well's water again and again until he finally washed ''the blood off himself, making jokes through it all''.

* Kyoshi's method of getting Chaejin to confess about his clan's affiliation with Yun is to confront him with his mother on the edge of a cliff, while Kyoshi and Chaejin are on the back of Yingyong the airbison. When the pair deny being involved with Yun, Kyoshi causes the cliff to nearly crumble beneath Huazo and threatens to drop Chaejin into the sea below, coming very close to killing them.
