An important episode in all and a lesson that things aren't aways black and white when it comes to dealing with emotional pain. It would have been easy for the show to have Katara forgive her mother's killer and be carry some monk-like message about peace and love. Though she didn't kill him in the end, she didn't forgive him either, it was an important step in highlighting how complex things like this really are.

Also if it wasn't obvious by the events thus far, this really underpinned just how powerful a bender Katara really is. Absolutely incredible.
