"Well, that was random."

Yes, Toph. And it was also great. I'm surprised at the negative reactions here, because although this feels like a massive change of pace it was also one of the most entertaining and pure fun episodes of the show so far.

I was a bit taken aback at the start but this grew on me more and more as I watched. The culmination of the campfire scene following the exploration of family memories was an all out stripping down of Zuko's state of mind. It managed to capture that feeling of not quite fitting in but finding solace in other misfits (even if these misfits are kind of monstrous). And it was silly fun on top of that.

The episode has also made me appreciate Azula, Ty Lee and Mai a lot more.
