"Just as the Imagination is limitless, so too are the possibilities of the sword"-This episode is awesome. Sokka's Sword training actually beats out both Aang and Katara's waterbending training as far as detail and sheer awesomeness. Even Aang's firebending instruction is not as detailed as Sokka's Sword training. This episode may even be better than when Aang trained to learn earthbending because the master Piando was more articulate than Toph.

I also love the fact that it was Sokka's humility that made Piando accept him.

The most important part of this episode is the end, when master Piando gives the group a white lotus tile. I love that the White Lotus is an underground society that transcends borders in this series; its a great idea, and the fact that I love the white lotus so much in The Last Airbender means I hate them in the Legend of Korra. In the legend of Korra they are no longer disciplined, nor are they underground.

Meanwhile in this episode we also get see the Grand Lotus Iroh use his imprisonment psychology mind control tricks on the guards by making himself appear to have gone insane. He is priming his enemies subconscious so they will not expect his escape. Iroh always wins.
