Complete story — includes the ending

As the group searches for Appa, they run into Jet, who falsely claims that he has information on Appa's whereabouts. A chance encounter with Smellerbee and Longshot reveals to Team Avatar that Jet had been arrested by the Dai Li a few weeks ago. They eventually break Jet's brainwashing and travel to a facility located underneath Lake Laogai, in hopes of finding Appa. Instead, they find Long Feng and the Dai Li waiting for them, declaring them enemies of the state. Elsewhere, Zuko discovers that Aang is in the city looking for Appa, and sets out as the Blue Spirit to find the bison. He locates Appa before Aang under Lake Laogai and plans to capture him, but Iroh arrives to confront him. Iroh furiously scolds Zuko and asks if Zuko is chasing his own destiny, or a destiny someone else is trying to force on him, resulting in Zuko releasing Appa. Aang, Jet and the group battle Long Feng and the Dai Li; Jet is fatally wounded as a result while Long Feng escapes. Team Avatar pursues, which ends in their reuniting with Appa and temporarily defeating Long Feng and his men. Iroh and Zuko exit the compound, with Zuko tossing his Blue Spirit mask into the lake at Iroh's suggestion.
