When Aang and his friends get lost on their way to the North Pole, they manage to be found by some of the Northern Water Tribe’s soldiers, which take them to their capital. There, Aang manages to find a waterbending master to teach him the abilities he needs to know, but the master refuses to train Katara. Meanwhile, Admiral Zhao recruits Zuko’s soldiers to prepare for an assault on the Northern Water Tribe, though he has other plans in store for Zuko’s fate.
