The day before his coronation, Wu and Mako travel to City Hall, where the royal excitedly details the schedule of the ceremony to his bodyguard; Wu hails the show, set to include singing earthbenders and dancing badgermoles, as the most "dynamite six-hour show" the firebender will have ever seen. Unfazed by Wu's enthusiasm, Mako asks the prince how much he has prepared to rule the Earth Kingdom. Wu waves off the question, assuring Mako that his ministers will deal with that, while the two of them "live the life" in the capital. As President Raiko joins their conversation and inquires how Wu is holding up, the prince runs off to scold a Metalbending Police Force officer for erecting bleachers where dancers will be performing the "Dance of the Badgermoles".
