It's either the finale or penultimate episode of season 2, Azula tells the Earth King "It's so unfortunate when you can't trust the people closest to you." This is in regard to him discovering the years of lying and manipulation from the Dai Li. When she says it though, Mai and Ty Li look at each other very subtly.

it was at moment she realized that she too, loved and valued mai friendship and well being more than she feared azula.

The reaction to Mai and Ty Lee betraying Azula is always so epic. Two things. When Mai said "I love Zuko more than I fear you," Azula probably flashed back to her mom feeling the same way. And hearing "I guess you just don't know people as well as you think you do" probably also felt personally insulting, because she prides herself on her ability to read and manipulate people without ever being caught off guard.

This episode has probably both one of the best lines and one of the weirdest lines in the entire show. "I love Zuko more than I fear you." is a pretty awesome line, but "The meat of fatherhood." is just... what? :D

You hear that creaking sound? That’s the sound of Azula beginning to unhinge.

"Because I'm a people person" is one of the coldest line uttered if you're familiar with the context it has in this show.

In every other confrontation she was smiling and mocking him the whole time. Here there's no dialogue. They're just duelling.

I think that is one of my favorite quotes. “I love Zuko more than I fear you.” Zuko’s skill against his sister raising because he no longer draws from rage is so cool. No more aggressive grunts or yells. He is more calm and collected. Even if he is not on par. I really like this 2 parter.

If you watch his fight scenes in season 1, Zuko wastes a lot of effort, in part because of his intense emotions. After encountering the dragons, he is so much more efficient. Losing rage gave him control.

And now we've finally made it to the betrayal of Azula. Such an epic moment of the series, and the beginning of the end of Azula's "sanity" (for lack of a better term).

In season 1 Zuko said that Azula was born lucky. My pet theory is that this was actually bad luck: because she's such a child prodigy, she had all the attention from her father, who trained her as a weapon and basically brain-washed her with his fascist beliefs since her birth, while he had no interest in the (as he thought) less talented son Zuko, who was raised and taught by the mother.

This was the most shocking episode the first time I saw it.

Ha ha, I remember a few episodes ago, when you guys said that Mai was just faking interest in Zuko because she was under Azula's orders, and I told you guys to don't be harsh on her. I think she and Ty Lee had a real friendship with Azula, but as Azula became more and more of a monster, they knew how to put a safe distance. It's kind of sad too that Azula, despite being probably one of the most dangerous and capable villains of all time, is at heart a child who was manipulated and molded by Ozai, the real monster.

I think this is the first time Azula is actually uncontrollably mad. Since her first episode, she’s been able to control herself and only allow mild frustration on her face. Once Mai betrays her, she still doesn’t understand how she didn’t see it coming. Then when Mai doubles down, Azula gets PISSED. You can see that she goes straight for the kill. For the first time in her life she can’t just make people do things, and it scares her so much she’d rather kill Mai than chase after Zuko.

"you should have feared me more" Thumbnail line 👍

The look on Ty Lee’s face during the tense confrontation between Mai and Azula was that of a child when parents argue. Psychologically a long, long fuse has been lit in Azula’s mind. It still amazes me how the writers can apply comic relief in unlikely scenes. team Sokka’s attempt to start a riot and how it’s really done cracks me up😂

It doesn't surprise me that they'd follow orders to cut the line with the warden on the gondola, since he said himself he'd rather jump into the lake than let his no escape record fall, but it does always surprise me they start doing it with Azula on board.

Mai’s line reflects how Azula’s mom felt or how she thinks her mothers felt towards her. It’s the start of her downfall

“I love Zuko more than I fear you”

Azula has TONS of issues. Both mommy AND daddy issues. Her father is very emotionally abusive and she always saw her mother as not loving her as much as Zuko, and then getting abandoned by her. By the end of this series you actually feel pity for Azula. It's amazing how they pull off things like that.

Honestly, for my money? "Because I'm a *people* person." is one of the most chilling lines in the entire series.

Of all the surprisingly good twists in this show, Ty Lee taking down Azula may have been the most shocking.

Unpopular opinion: Mai is the most complex character in ATLA. Even characters like Zuko, who have faced much trauma, can be understood fairly easily. But Mai... You'll only truly understand her if you know how someone who's been bullied their entire life would behave. Even at her strongest, she is not stronger than Azula, so she does her bidding... Until the time when Azula threatens Zuko's life, at which point she snaps. ATLA never makes Mai's previous life obvious. But there are small hints all over the place.

Hakoda's word is so badass : if you take one step closer, you'll see how okay i am

One thing to note is when Azula and Mai are about to throw down, Azula is about to lightning bend to Mai at point blank range. Easily a killing blow.

Slight correction, Azula doesn’t fly here, just kinda HALO rocket jumped. If she could fly, she wouldn’t have needed the cuffs. No firebenders in the show are strong enough to fly without the comet

I was SO happy to see part 2 up immediately after pt 1, I was not expecting that so thaaanks :D

This episode is filled with so many badass moments omg! The "I love Zuko" line is forever iconic. Zuko and Mai are an underrated power couple as are Sokka and Suki!

I really hope that guard’s ok that sent them all into the courtyard, dude looks genuinely terrified of the warden

I still think Mai and Tylee could've handled all those guards on their own and escaped.

Azula is such a great character/villain. She is possibly the most skilled bender we meet, is inceedibly smart, and unapologetically evil. But everything about her makes sense just with the background we are given

Ah, the jaw dropping Boiling Rock episodes. People say Mai and Ty Lee betraying Azula was such a shock. I think not. Mai and Ty Lee aren't Azula's friends. At best, they are favored servents. At worst, they are pampered slaves. Neither are places anyone wants to be. Azula did miscalculate. But, I think the miscalculation was her letting Mai and Zuko get back together. They rekindled their relationship. Mai appears stoic, blah, and devoid of emotion. She is the opposite, but she suppresses everything because her family's reputation and political career are always at stake. The overly emotional Zuko evens her out. And, she can be free around him. Azula thought she could extinguish their flame for each other because she doesn't understand caring about someone more than yourself, and she certainly underestimated Mai's ability to care for someone.

I bet Appa was happy to see Suki!

Well, I certainly hope the girls started noticing a change in Azula after this. It was kind of subtle at first, to be fair. Also, that scene where Mai and Ty Lee were taken into custody shows that Ty Lee's feat of taking down dozens of earthbender soldiers kind of makes her combat ability overhyped. If Ty Lee's really as OP as some say, why didn't she just chi block these less-armored Fire Nation guards instead of surrendering?

“Hey riot!” Just like that, instant riot! 😂

"Because I'm a people person" but she didn't understand why Mai would save Zuko or Ty Lee would protect Mai over her. Such a people person but doesn't understand Zuko and can't hold a normal conversation. :(

"Because I'm a people person." Azula knows full well: 1. Zuko is at this prison 2. Zuko joined the gAang 3. This man is NOT a part of the gAang She could have explained these things, but instead she goes with "because I'm a people person." Azula mental manipulation right there, making herself feel more intimidating than she already is with one simple little lie.

Ty Lee turning against Azula is the most intense moment in the whole show for me, even now that I've seen the show a dozen times.

For some reason, Sokka keeps running into problems he keeps making.

Tai Lee was like "oh hell naw, not my girl Mai !"

As much as I love these episodes, there's a lot that doesn't make sense: 1. Chit Sang said the mastermind behind the plan was a "guy who's dressed like a prison guard but isn't a prison guard" yet not once did the warden think it could be Zuko considering that's what he was disguised as. Also, the warden never questioned why Zuko was there in the first place. 2. Zuko got into a fight with Chit Sang and was put in the same cooler they used to escape and the warden still didn't think he was part of it. 3. Why are Suki and Chit Sang's girlfriend the only female prisoners there? 4. Sokka is 15 while all the other prison guards are grown adults yet when lined up, the warden didn't find him to be out of place.

1. I'll grant you the warden not further questioning Zuko is weird, but the escape plan was made after Zuko got caught, not before. Also, I could be wrong but I believe Chit Sang was still in the cooler when Zuko got caught, and considering Chit Sang's group was already known to the warden so it's reasonable to assume they didn't have any interaction with him beforehand. 2. Likely because Zuko was his special prisoner and probably assumed he wouldn't risk getting involved with other prisoners considering he's a Fire Nation traitor. 3. They're not, but they're the only ones shown in the show proper. Other female prisoners are shown in the comics. 4. There are many guards working there, so one looking a bit shorter and/or younger likely wouldn't raise any suspicions.
