This Episode has almost everything you want in an Avatar episode. There's great character development with Aang, Continued great chemistry with the main trio, Great backstory with Sokka, good humor with Sokka and Uncle Iroh as well, a cool new character with June and her tracking beast, an amazing finale with a legendary fight scene featuring Aang Vs Zuko / Appa vs June's Beast. The fight between Aang and Zuko flows so well and shows how much both characters have grown with barely any dialogue between them. Also, Aang showing up to save Sokka and Katarra in the finale and the theme subtly playing in the background a little when he did, was an awesome touch! People will say Aang is out of character in this one but all I saw was development for him! Amazing episode: 10/10!
