This, as well as the last episode, is the point where Avatar usually surpasses expectations for people. Every character has been given a fairly good setup, mainly Aang and Zuko, and yet the previous episode "The Storm" is where this characterization is not only questioned, but also pushed forward into territories not usually expected from a cartoon, in a surprisingly well-thought-out way. With a firmly established setup, and the audience's minds wondering where ATLA will go next, this show sweeps out the rug and pulls off a masterpiece of an episode, where creative action and atmosphere excel far beyond anything we've anticipated, in a high-stakes, prison-escape episode, introducing new methods of combat along the way to further improve Avatar's already masterful worldbuilding. And to top it off, a beautiful ending that sets up many themes and character arcs that will last the rest of the series
