In order to slip through Fire-Nation-controlled territory and reach Omashu, our heroes join with a group of wandering nomad hippies to take a dangerous pass under the mountains. This pass has a seemingly innocuous name, [[Title Drop|the Cave of Two Lovers]], but as ancient legends say death awaits all that go in there, and that the tunnel paths constantly shift.
Line 8:
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Justified in that the people trying to teach Sokka the aesop were ''really'' annoying.
{{quote|
(''Later that day in the next scene.'')
'''Sokka:''' The journey was long and annoying, but now you get to see what it's really about: the destination. }}
* [[Big No]]: When Sokka finds he's trapped in a cave with a bunch of hippies
Line 15:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The eye-patch wearing Fire Nation commander from "Jet" shows up again.
* [[Did They or Didn't They?]]: Did Aang and Katara kiss?
** [[Word of God|According to Mae Whitman]] (the actress who plays Katara), they did. Also note that the same music that plays when the lights go out plays when they kiss in the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Aang tries to play off Katara's suggestion to kiss to see if that will show the exit out of the tunnel. It doesn't go so well. ("No, I was just saying if it was a choice between kissing you and dying...")
* [[Entitled Bastard]]: Without so much as a backwards glance, Zuko abuses Song's hospitality by stealing her ostrich-horse.
* [[Face Palm]]: The answer to Katara's question to Sokka, "Why is your forehead all red?"
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: When Iroh accidentally poisons himself, he and Zuko have a choice between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation for getting help. If they are discovered, the Earth Kingdom will kill them, but the Fire Nation will give them to Azula. They choose the Earth Kingdom.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: Aang initially declines to go through the cave, stating that Appa hates being underground and that they needed to do what made Appa happy. Cut to...
{{quote|
'''All three main characters''': AAAAHHHHH!
(cut to them returning to the nomads, [[Ash Face|singed]])<br />
'''Sokka''': Secret love cave, let's go. }}
* [[Hands-On Approach]]: Katara uses this to teach Aang the Octopus Form.
* [[Held Gaze]]: Happens between Katara and Aang in the cave as they look at each other and [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|the lights go out since "love is brightest in the dark"]].
* [[Ironic Echo]]: To [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book
{{quote|
(camera pans to show {{spoiler|Omashu, under Fire Nation control}})
'''Sokka''': [[Oh Crap|...oh]] ''[[Oh Crap|no.]]'' }}
* [[Know Your Vines]]: Uncle Iroh faces this problem multiple times. "Delectable tea, or deadly poison?"
** "These are pakui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or makaola berries that cause blindness."
* [[Leitmotif]]: Aang and Katara's love theme makes its first appearance.
** In something of a [[Call Forward]], an instrumental version of "Leaves on the Vine" plays when Aang and Katara approach Oma and Shu's tomb. Which is thematically appropriate, as both Iroh and Oma built new lives following the death of a loved one in war.
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: [[Cheech and Chong|Chong]].
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: The nomads
Line 42:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Read the title
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Oma and Shu
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The hippies' song about the secret tunnel.
* [[Tentative Light]]
* [[Tonight Someone Kisses]]: subverted. Aang and Katara lean in as their candle goes out... at which point the cave's luminescent crystals kick in and the camera pans back down to them, leaving us unsure whether they did or not.
