Amity's intro

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years passed, and me, Willow and Gus discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Luz. And although her airbending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone.

But I believe Luz can save the world

The episode opens just outside the vast waters of Lake Laogai. Team Avatar has stopped on a tiny islet in the center of the lake. Luz is embracing Appa, happy upon reuniting with him.

“I missed you more than you'll ever know, buddy.” Luz said (King flies into Appa to hug him too. Appa licks Luz, which causes Luz to laugh.)

Willow approaches the others.

“Look, we escaped from the Dai Li. We got Appa back. I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan. We're on a roll.” Willow said

“One good hour after weeks of trouble isn't much of a roll.” Amity said

“We can build on it. If we want to invade the Fire Nation when the eclipse happens, we'll need the Earth King's support.” Willow said

“What makes you think we'll get it? I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't usually go that smoothly for our little gang.” Eda said

“It’s true.” Camila said

“I know, but I've got a good feeling about this. This time will be different.” Willow said

“Willow, Long Feng is in control of the city. His conspiracy with the Dai Li is too powerful. I think we should just keep flying and leave this horrible place behind us.” Gus said

“I'm with Sweetness. I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se.” (Raises arms and opens eyes wide.) “And I can only see with two eyes!” Boscha said

Luz flies into the shot.

“But now that we have Appa back, there's nothing stopping us from telling the Earth King the truth. About the conspiracy and the War.” Luz said

“See? Luz's with me.” (Puts her arm around Luz and smiles.) “It's the whole reason we came here in the first place. We have to try.” Willow said

(Thinks for a moment.) “Well, I guess if the Earth King knew the truth, things could change.” Amity said (Willow and Luz smile.)

(Stands up.) “I don't trust the new positive Willow.” (Points at Willow in an accusing manner.) “Long Feng brainwashed you, didn't he!?” Boscha asked

Luz notices a few ships in the lake.

“That's probably the Dai Li searching for us.” (To Amity.) “So?” Willow asked

Amity thinks for a moment before looking at Willow.

(Determined.) “Let's fly!” Amity said

They fly toward the Palace, now with no saddle, holding onto Appa's fur for dear life, especially Boscha.

“Can we please buy a new saddle? Riding bareback is terrifying!” Boscha said (Buries face in Appa's back.)

They get closer to the palace.

“There it is! That whole thing is the palace! The Earth King's chamber should be in the center!” Willow said

“We have to be careful. Long Feng's probably warned the king that we're coming.” Gus said
