One of my favorite moments in the show is when Zuko sees Katara bloodbend. As far as he knows, she could have done it to him at any time. So I imagine at that point he makes sure never to piss her off.
I’d say the Katara/Zuko field trip was probably the most therapeutic for both parties. Katara had to find a way to forgive Zuko and Zuko had to face up the the travesties committed by his own people.
As much as I like the Boiling Rock episodes, it always bothered me that Zuko was the only bender brought onto that trip. The other 3 would have been really useful.
Katara’s emotion gets me fired up and I get chills when she almost kills the guy. The dragon dance scene might be my favorite scene in the entire show. Boiling Rock is just an all around great episode. It’s really hard to choose lmao
My favorite is The Southern Raiders. Katara stopping the rain… chills every time. What a fantastic way to show us how far she’s come since S1. The dialogue is superb, too:
“Katara, you do have a choice: Forgiveness.”
“That’s the same as doing nothing.”
“No, it’s not. It’s easy to do nothing, but it’s hard to forgive.”
I think The Boiling Rock is the best. It was pretty epic. I mean Azula showing up was wild too. And Mai and Ty Lee switching sides. Overall hype episodes.
Southern Raiders. I love the way they gave Katara closure on her childhood trauma. She doesn’t have to forgive — she *shouldn’t* forgive — but she *can* move on with her life.
I like the chemistry between Zuko and Katara. I like the role reversal where Katara is the antagonistic one shutting Zuko out, and Zuko is the nice one trying to win her trust.
Boiling Rock episodes were fire. Great Sokka moments, great moments with his dad, Suki, Zuko obviously, Mai and Azula, great side characters and comedy.
We recently discovered a lost & forgotten episode where Zuko tracks down the Cabbage Merchant and not only apologizes for the carts that got destroyed where he was involved, but for the Gaang destroying them as well.
The Cabbage Merchant feels so moved he provides Zuko with the power needed to defeat almost anyone. Excluding the Cabbage Merchant himself, of course.
Sadly, the recording of the episode self-destructed after we watched it, so we can’t show the rest of the world. You can trust us though, it was glorious
I love the raw, guttural emotion and payoffs in Southern Raiders.
BUT, I’m gonna go with Firebending Masters for 2 reasons:
1) It is the first time we see Zuko and Aang, who have been enemies the entire series, doing something together as partners. The person who Zuko has literally tried to kill is now side by side with him on this adventure, I love it. Also I love Zuko and Aang’s relationship, it’s one of my favorites.
2) When Zuko sees the dragons’ fire and says “I understand.” I get chills. It is one of my favorite moments in the entire series, so freaking powerful and such a significant shift in this character we all love. I just love it.
When you put these all together, Zuko looks like a fanboy who photoshopped himself into pictures of the Gaang
Has to be Boiling Rock.
HEY! RIOT!
The Dancing Dragon.
I liked the balance of seriousness and silliness in the episode
The Boiling Rock is peak cinema
Boiling Rock. Suki’s spider ability is awesome to watch!
The journey Toph and Zuko never had. 🥺

The Southern Raiders might be my favorite episode period. Its hard to do favorite of all time, but thats absolutely my favorite of season 3.

Boiling rock is awesome
The southern Raiders is probably my favortie episode of the show.(Tied with the blind bandit) so thats mine
Mine is with Aang of course
The boiling rock is the most quotable episode of the show, but the southern raiders is the best episode in the series (all imo obviously)
HOW is no one talking about The Southern Raiders??? One of the best episodes of the ENTIRE series.
“That’s rough buddy.”
