The gang engage in a rock-paper-scissors-style bending battle. Sokka, although unable to bend, is also involved. When Zuko and Iroh appear, Zuko claims that fire is the best and Toph takes it as a bending battle challenge.
The characters sit in a classroom. Sokka is lovesick and Azula plays a harsh prank on Katara. Aang, who has his eyes on Katara, gets counseling from Iroh.
Sokka shows Tho and Due a self-made water filtration device with a hollowed-out pumpkin and leaves on top. Then, Aang challenge him to a water-skiing contest. Sokka accepts but often ends up falling over or losing his trunks.
