B2 Episode 7: Zuko Alone
January 28, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.2 MBZuko looks for honor in all the wrong places. The Earth nation has room for all sorts - except for folks who play with fire. Flashbacks teach us about an ideal mother, a twisted sister, and a sinister second son with ambitions too big for his britches. What exactly happened to shake up the line of succession? The Prince of Angst may have a good handle on his twin blades, but he's got a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone... but we believe, Zuko has room to grow.

After seeing visions of loved ones lost (and persons unknown), tackling a swamp monster, roasting possum chicken with some newfound kinfolk, and embracing the interconnectivity of all living things, Team Avatar returns to familiar lands. Meanwhile, Zuko isn't yet jiving with his new refugee lifestyle, so he dons a blue mask and nabs a fancy-shmancy tea set for the Dragon of the West. Aang reckons with rumors his past life committed murder and gets thrown in jail...
B2 Episode 3: Return to Omashu
July 09, 2023 07:00 - 41 minutes - 28.6 MBOmashu's been overrun by some Fire Nation thugs. While Azula recruits her former schoolmates to hunt down Zuko, the city comes down with an entirely curable case of Pentapox. Momo kidnaps a baby by accident, and Aang learns there's power in doing absolutely nothing. "New Ozai" is thrill ride of chutes and ladders, plus some chin bending from our favorite Earthbending King.
B2: Episode 2 The Cave of Two Lovers
May 08, 2023 01:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB"What kinda people are ya?" Team Avatar meets a band of nomads who've traveled the world through the power of song.

Our fair adventurers pull off at the most life-threatening rest stop in the land. Just can't say no to a good Fire Festival.

Aang picked it up quick enough I guess. But will his wet skills tip the scales? I visibly shrug. Hear us muse about Chapter 9, won't you? You'll get: - musical misdirections - miles of entertainmen...
