* There are at least two possibilities: (1) Uncle Iroh plus Zuko could have together blasted an upward tunnel for Appa to fly to the outside, or (2) Once freed, Appa could have just retraced the route originally used to bring him into the holding cell until reaching beneath the courtyard where he was first caught. Appa could then just bust through the cobblestones there.


Added DiffLines:

* Old Sweepy could also have been an unwittingly brainwashed sap planted with fake information just like Jet was so that he will be just as believable to Toph.

**Given Sokka’s reaction when they get to the island and see the airships take off (“we’re too late”), they were most likely planning to destroy the airships while they were still grounded, and if that was the case, they’d all be in the same general area as Ozai and thus be able to help Aang at any given point if necessary (it was a rather small island). When the fleet was airborne, the ships were spread out and seconds away from roasting the Earth Kingdom. Sokka, Toph and Suki had to act fast to avoid total destruction, and Aang already took out the main ship with Ozai onboard, leading them to switch gears, and they eventually ended up in a bind that would prevent them from coming to Aang’s aid.

*** Aang mentions "this is why I never came here before" in "City of Walls and Secrets" re: Ba Sing Se. Wholly possible that Aang was so used to most people being thrilled to see him in their cities and towns he could easily walk in.

* In relation to the above, how did Appa get out of the hidden facility beneath the lake? He wasn't large enough to fit through the door, and Iroh and Zuko couldn't earthbend to let him escape...Did they just grab a random Dai Li agent and force him to do it for them?

Added a response to the question at the bottom of the page.





Judging by her other attempts in ''Lake Laogai'' (all successful), Toph only needs to stand somewhat close to a person on the same earth to determine if they are telling the truth or not. So why wasn't she able to tell that Old Sweepy was lying about Appa's location? All the prerequisites were there.

** Keep in mind that we learn later on that Azula is able to lie convincingly enough to where Toph can't tell that she's lying, even when Azula's telling a blatant lie. The fact that Azula could spoof Toph's lie detection ability (which suggests that people with enough composure can counter Toph's ability), coupled with how Old Sweepy was in league with the Dai Li, would suggest that maybe Old Sweepy is a capable liar akin to Azula, or at least to a degree where Toph would be none the wiser as to whether what he's saying is a lie or not.
