On the morning of the invasion, Aang cheerfully greets everyone. Katara notes he seems well rested. Aang confidently believes he can face the Fire Lord. Toph asks Aang if he is going to use the Avatar State against him, but Aang explains that his seventh chakra was locked when Azula struck him with lightning, so he cannot use it. At the Fire Nation prison, Warden Poon continues to taunt the imprisoned Iroh. Ming, a young female guard, appears with his breakfast and sneaks in some white jade tea for him. After the other guard leaves, Iroh expresses his gratitude for her kindness.
