* BewareTheNiceOnes: Katara is a nice girl and spent most of the episode fawning over Jet. However, when she learns how dangerous he is and thinks he’s done something horrible to Sokka, she completely thrashes him and immobilizes him with her Waterbending.
* BlindObedience: The Freedom Fighters always follow Jet’s orders and never question his judgement. The only one who questioned Jet was The Duke, but he seems to have been pacified when Jet justifies the deaths of the villagers as being a necessary sacrifice to free the valley of the Fire Nation. Pipsqueak even says things always turned out alright when they followed Jet’s orders. Sokka realizes that expecting Aang and Katara to always follow his orders and not question him is bad.
* CompulsiveLiar: Multiple times in the episode does Jet lie. He first lies about the old man he and two of the fighters attacked by claiming he was a Fire Nation assassin sent to kill Jet. Then he lies to Aang and Katara about the Fire Nation planning to burn down the forest so they would inadvertently aid him in destroying a nearby town. Finally, he lies about Sokka being on a mission with Smellerbee and Pipsqueak when he was being led through the forest to prevent him from interfering with Jet’s plan.

But when he questions the Freedom Fighters' willingness to drown an Earth Kingdom village at Jet's say-so, and they answer that they've ''always'' obeyed Jet without question, Sokka responds that Jet has much to learn if he thinks that's how one should lead.
Added DiffLines:
* ShadowArchetype: For both Jet ''and'' his Freedom Fighters. While Jet is everything Sokka envies about being a leader (charismatic, respectable, authoritative), he's also embodies his worst qualities magnified (his hatred towards the Fire Nation, his belief that everything he does is for the best). On the other hand, the Freedom Fighters' blind faith in Jet mirrors what Sokka previously wanted (Aang and Katara listening obediently to him).
