In order to take out the Fire Lord,
or in this case, the Melon Lord.
Our timing has to be perfect.
First, Suki and I will draw his fire.
Then Katara and Zuko charge in with some liquidy hot offense.
And while the Melon Lord is distracted,
Aang swoops in and bam, he delivers the final blow.
Uh. What about me?
For now, you're the Melon Lord's forces.
So, I get to chuck flaming rocks at all of you?
Whatever makes the training feel more realistic.
Sweetness.
[laughing]
Watch it, Toph!
I am not Toph!
I am Melon Lord!
[laughing]
Now, Aang!
What are you waiting for?
Take him out!
I can't.
What's wrong with you?
If this was the real deal, you'd be shot
full of lightning right now.
I'm sorry, but it just didn't feel right.
I didn't feel like myself.
There. That's how it's done.
I have a surprise for everyone!
I knew it! You did have a secret thing with Haru!
Uh, no.
I was looking for cooking pots in the attic, and I found this.
Look at Baby Zuko! Isn't he cute?
[laughing]
Oh lighten up. I'm just teasing.
That's not me.
It's my father.
But he looks so sweet and innocent.
Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster...
and the worst father in the history of fathers.
But he's still a human being.
You're going to defend him?
No, I agree with you.
Firelord Ozai is a horrible person,
and the world would probably be better off without him.
But there's got to be another way.
- Like what? - I don't know.
Maybe we can make some big pots of glue,
and then I can use glue bending
to stick his arms and legs together
so he can't bend anymore.
Yeah, Then you can show him his baby pictures,
and all those happy memories will make him good again.
Do you really think that would work?
No!
[sighing]
This goes against everything I learned from the monks.
I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like.
Sure you can. You're the Avatar!
If it's in the name of keeping balance,
I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.
This isn't a joke, Sokka!
None of you understands the position I'm in!
Aang. We do understand.
- It's just... - Just what, Katara?!
- What? - We're trying to help!
Then when you figure out a way for me to beat the Firelord
without taking his life, I'd love to hear it!
Aang! Don't walk away from this!
Let him go.
He needs time to sort it out by himself.
Hey, Momo, I don't suppose you know what I should do.
I didn't think so.
