“Return to Omashu” · Season 2, Episode 3

In this episode: Sokka (2), Aang (1), Katara (1), Bumi (1)

[The little baby begins teething on Sokka's boomerang. Sokka takes it away.]

No! Bad Fire Nation baby! [The baby starts cries, Katara hits Sokka in the head.] Oh, alright. [He gives his boomerang back to the baby to teeth on it. Katara hugs him from behind.]

[baby voice] Ooh, you're so cute. Mmm... [cut to resistance leader Yung observing the baby.]

YYung

Sure, he's cute now... but when he's older, he'll join the Fire Nation army. You won't think he's so cute then. He'll be a killer.

[picks up the baby to Yung] Does that look like the face of a killer to you?

[after escaping from Azula, Aang confronts King Bumi inside a metal coffin about why he surrendered]

I don't understand. Why didn't you free yourself? Why did you surrender when Omashu was invaded? What's the matter with you, Bumi?!

[calmly] Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy.

I know! [counts with two fingers] There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating.

And neutral jing, when you do nothing!

[suddenly surprised] There are three jings?

Well, technically there are eighty-five, but let's just focus on the third. Neutral jing is the key to earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike.

That's why you surrendered, isn't it?

Yes, and it's why I can't leave now. [Aang sadly turns around, feeling disappointed]

I guess I need to find someone else to teach me earthbending.

Your teacher will be someone who has mastered neutral jing. You need to find someone who waits and listens before striking. [Momo lands on Aang's shoulders]

[happily] Hey, Momo!

Momo's mastered a few jings himself! [Momo screeches loudly at Bumi] Goodbye, Aang. I'll see you when the time is right.
