Secrets! Mechanical beasts! Real beasts! This episode covers the two-part special "The Secret of the Fire Nation" which is Book Two, chapters 12: The Serpent's Pass (a huge showcase of girl power) and 13: The Drill (a huge showcase of industrial power). Jordan calls everyone “chitters”. Katie and Troy’s hips are going out and their cousin drives by on his motorcycle. Jordan talks about the Serpent’s Pants and the Avatar trading card game. Blasphemous Troy says Jet is forgettable. Katie observes that we reconnect with a ridiculous amount of characters from first season and she agrees with Jordan that Toph is MVP in these episodes and discuss the golden seal of the Flying Boar. Jordan breaks down the themes of the Sokka and Suki scene on the plateau with dizzying detail. Katie is shipping Zuko and Jet. Troy and Jordan argue over Smellerbee. Troy says “Bong Sing Se” which sounds like a counterculture festival. Troy thinks everything is a plot hole and Katie says the Drill’s slurry looks like fake cheese or old gravy.
