Picking up from the events of the previous episode, the Gaang are forced to make their way out of the Si Wong Desert on foot. Aang is depressed over the loss of Appa, Toph is blind in sand, and Sokka ends up on a Mushroom Samba after drinking liquid from the inside of a cactus, leaving Katara to hold the team together singlehandedly. Eventually, they find one of the boat... ish craft the local Sandbenders use to get around, and are then confronted by the very Sandbenders who stole Appa. They accuse the Gaang of grand theft sailboat, which pushes Aang's Berserk Button. While just about everyone flees the wrath of the Avatar State, Katara advances into the gale and adminsters a Cooldown Hug. The episode ends with the two of them weeping in each other's arms.
