Plot
When Aang leaves to aid Fire Lord Zuko with spiritual affairs in the Fire Nation, Katara and Sokka return to the Southern Water Tribe by themselves, where they are shocked to discover that their village has become a bustling city, with none other than Hakoda in charge. The changes seem to have largely been due to the influential efforts of Malina, a waterbender of the Northern Water Tribe who is seemingly striving for greater unification of the two Water Tribes, but has unknown intentions.

Trivia

 * This trilogy is influenced of when both Water Tribes eventually escalated into an all-out civil war, seventy-one years later in the lifetime of Avatar Korra.
