Plot Overview

The kids stumble upon Haru, a young Earthbender, and follow him to his village. The village has been under control of the Fire Nation for five years and Earthbending is forbidden. Haru uses his powers to save the life of an old man and is imprisoned. Feeling strong empathy for Haru, Katara does a rather unimpressive display of fake Earthbending and fools the Fire Nation into taking her prisoner as well.

The prisoners are taken to an off-shore coal depot along with hundreds of other Earthbenders held captive. Katara witnesses their broken spirits and tries very hard to rekindle in them a desire for freedom, but no one listens to her. With the help of her friends and some coal, courtesy of Aang, the Earthbenders regain their spirit and bend their way to freedom. Soon after they depart, Prince Zuko arrives and discovers Katara's necklace on the ground.
