Add his poor sleeping habits and lack of rest makes a perfect storm of poor health that leads to Zuko suffering a thankfully non-fatal heart attack.

* IllBoy: Zuko's poor health threaten his life and his reign as Fire Lord. Zuko ends up developing heart arrhythmia due to being constantly attacked with lightning by Azula. Not helping him was his poor conditions in his TailorMadePrison where he lacked sunlight, movement and just enough food and water for him not to die. Add his poor sleeping habits and lack of rest makes a perfect storm of poor health that leads to Zuko suffering a thankfully non-fatal heart attack.
* ImportantHaircut: As Fire Lord, Zuko had his hair in a top knot. After being dethroned, Zuko was going to cut his hair to reflect his self-exile but decides against it and leave his hair in a ponytail.

Suki and Hakoda were given royal pardons and would've been freed if they'd just waited another hour. Although this ends up {{Zigzagged}} since neither Hakoda nor Suki actually trust Iroh, and while Hakoda reluctantly takes his son's word to give the new Fire Lord a chance, Suki chooses to leave with Zuko and Azula.

This also would have reassured the Avatar and his companions about the Fire Nation’s intentions, and thus leave everybody satisfied.
