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.

=== Tropes: ===

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Justified in that the people trying to teach Sokka the aesop were ''really'' annoying.

'''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

* [[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...

(cut to them returning to the nomads, [[Ash Face|singed]])<br />

'''Sokka''': Secret love cave, let's go. }}

* [[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/The King of Omashu/Recap|"The King of Omashu"]].

'''Sokka''': [[Oh Crap|...oh]] ''[[Oh Crap|no.]]'' }}

* [[Know Your Vines]]: Uncle Iroh faces this problem multiple times. "Delectable tea, or deadly poison?"
