{{work}}

 

 

Katara urges Toph to go to a spa with her; while initially reluctant, she enjoys herself in the end, and eventually opens up. Iroh is generally cool, as we see him being kind and hilarious around the city- [[Mood Whiplash|before going to mourn the death of his son]]. Aang decides to help build a new zoo facility, and [[Hijinks Ensue]]. Sokka engages in a Haiku Rap Battle, Zuko is utterly [[Adorkable]] on a date, while Momo misses Appa.

 

* [[Breather Episode]]: came right after an episode revealing a government conspiracy in Ba Sing Se, {{spoiler|in which the Earth King was merely a figurehead for Long Feng}}.

* [[Broken Aesop]]:

'''Iroh:''' But not this time. Run! }}

* [[Broken Glass Penalty]]: In Iroh's tale.

* [[Cucumber Facial]]: In "The Tale of Toph and Katara".

* [[Dark Reprise]]: ''[[Manly Tears|Brave soldier boy, comes marching home...]]''

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Sokka is having a Haiku off with a leader of a poetry club which happens to be all girls. We get this exchange:

I'll paddle yours too! }}

** For any doubters out there, yes Sokka is literally [[Fetish Fuel|smacking his rear]] when he says this comment.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: What do you do when you've mastered three bending forms? Kung Fu Landscaping!

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The end of Iroh's sidestory. Nuff said.

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Subverted in "The Tale of Iroh". When a guy tries to mug Iroh, the old general can clearly fight him, but instead gives him advice on his stance and direction in life.

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Invoked in Toph's sidestory but ultimately averted. After dresses up quite nice, some high society girls still mock her- even after Katara washes them away, Toph cries, showing that she just wants to be accepted.
