Synopsis
The episode starts with Ozai continuously shooting fire at Aang's earth sphere while taunting him. On the air ship, Toph bends the rudder to turn the ship into running into the others, where Sokka complimented Toph’s metalbending abilities. They fall off and Sokka breaks the fall by a portion with his sword sticking onto the air ship. Unfortunately, Toph is being held by Sokka, who broke his leg. He sees firebenders ready to attack, so he is left with no other choice but to stop them with his boomerang and sword, costing both of them in the process. Even so, more firebenders come to them and Sokka and Toph is seemingly doomed. They are saved by another incoming air ship, driven by Suki. Meanwhile, Ozai is still attacking Aang and manages to break the earth sphere. The impact blew Aang back into a rock sticking out and it hits the area where Aang was shot by Azula. This opens his seventh chakra and he enters the Avatar State. Gathering all of the elements, he has Ozai fleeing from him and Aang is mainly unstoppable.



In Ba Sing Se, the Order of the White Lotus is successful in freeing the city. Iroh burns down the Fire Nation flag on the Earth Kingdom palace. Back at the Agni Kai battle, Azula relentlessly shoots at Katara and drives her away from any water, while taunting both Katara and Zuko. Katara finds one last water source and is successful in baiting Azula right where she wants her. Katara freezes both her and Azula but uses waterbending to thaw herself and chains Azula's hands to the ground, rendering her firebending abilities useless. Katara successfully heals Zuko, as he thanks her, but Katara says that it should be her thanking Zuko. Azula is struggling, screaming, and crying uncontrollably, making her completely insane, breathing blue fire out of her mouth before she becomes exhausted. In the battle between Aang and Ozai, Aang gets the upper hand and gets Ozai pinned. The collective voices of the Avatars speak through him, telling Ozai he and his forefathers have upsetted the balance of the world and must be punished. Before killing him, Aang gets in control and ceases. Ozai taunts him of being weak, but Aang finally understood what the Lion Turtle had said to him. He locks Ozai’s hands in earth and uses spiritbending on Ozai. Aang and Ozai are enveloped in blue and red lights respectively. The Lion Turtle's words speak to him, telling him that before the Avatar and the elements there was nothing but energy. To control energy, his spirit must be unbendable or he will be corrupted and destroyed. As the words end, the red light on Ozai begins creeping up Aang's skin and nearly engulfs his body but his right eye expels it. Ozai soon finds he can't bend. Afterwards, Aang uses waterbending to wash the fire burning the land. Sokka, Suki, and Toph meets up with Aang (Sokka is immensely impressed). Suki asks if he... finished the job. Ozai snarls he's still alive, confusing Suki. Aang tells them of the better alternative to restore balance The three start calling Ozai names, such as "the Loser Lord" or "Phoenix King of getting his butt whooped", now that the latter is stripped of firebending (though Suki did a poor attempt). Ozai passes out possibly from firebending too much. At the Fire Nation palace, Zuko dresses up for his coronation, but is helped by Mai.



She and Zuko kiss, but also warns him not to break up with her again. Everyone is soon reunited, including the Kyoshi Warriors. But Sokka is surprised to see Ty Lee among them. Paranoid, he assumes she's disguising herself until Suki tells him Ty Lee is officially with them. Ty Lee explains she bonded with the Warriors and after a few Chi Blocking lessons, she was allowed to join, saying they will be "Best Friends Forever". In the coronation, Zuko states that the war is now over and gives Aang the credit for saving the world. Zuko is now crowned Fire Lord and declares together they will rebuild the world. Zuko pays Ozai a visit and tells him that Ozai has hope of changing in prison. The real purpose is that Zuko asks Ozai where Ursa is (which isn’t revealed). In Ba Sing Se, life improved (a stack of Fire Nation tanks is used for earthbending games) and the scene cuts to the Jasmine Dragon, where Zuko and Iroh help serve tea and the gang rests in there (including Mai). Sokka is painting a group portrait, but it is crude (Katara's "hair loopies" are huge, Zuko's hair is really spikey, Mai looks like a man, Suki is firebending and Iroh has a big stomach). Aang walks out to get fresh air and is followed by Katara. They both embrace in a hug, then a kiss. The words “The End” are etched in the end.
