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/Sozins Comet/Recap/Book 3/21 Sozin's Comet Part 4: Avatar Aang|series finale]].
* [[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.
Line 26:
'''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 1/05 The King of Omashu/Recap|"The King of Omashu"]].
{{quote|'''Sokka''': I present to you, the Earth Kingdom City of O...
(camera pans to show {{spoiler|Omashu, under Fire Nation control}})
Line 34:
** "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.
