mysterious music plays ♪
Honored visiting delegates,
the Havens will work together!
[Karthik] What are
the Head Lotuses of Akasha
and New Ba doing here?
[Nobuo] Rumors about the Avatar
reach a fever pitch,
and you cut communications
with us?
We feel it's time
she faced The Trial.
But Nisha's only nine years old!
She's just a child!
If we find whoever made
my brooch
and your bracelet,
they might lead us
to Mom and Dad!
Are you really going to choose
strangers over me?

What is the meaning of this?
My Queen freed me.
Let's chat.
[narrator] Fire
Air.
Water.
Earth.
Long ago, the Avatar,
master of all four elements,
brought forth the Cataclysm,
Out of the devastation,
the world built
the Seven Havens.
Now the Avatar has returned,
but for the first time,
there are two.
Most fear they'll destroy
the world again
But I believe
they will save it.

[Pavi] Something's wrong.
Let's scramble, Geet!
I hope Nisha's okay.
The Faceless Queen
finally crawled out of her hole
to attack us here,
surrounded by
our strongest benders.
You're bold. Or mad.
Guards!
Ah!
[loud thud]
Lucky for you, the only thing
bruised is my pride!
Who said I was here to fight?
[Jae grunts]
This one sounded the alarm.
And ruined my pudding!
Someone's quite
the trumpet player.
Thanks for heralding
our arrival, bender!
Welcome to Ellora, ambassadors!
Your havens
are gonna wanna hear this.
Now see here, ruffian!
This sort of renegade activity
may pass in Ellora,
but you're dealing
with the authority
of New Ba Sing Se-- [screams]
Watch the outfit,
it's an antique!
[chuckles] Mm.
uneasy music plays
[Pavi] The Faceless?
Something's gone really wrong
with the summit.
[whines]
Stay here, girl.
I'll whistle if I need you.
[Geet purrs]
[Kayoko sighs] Your Faceless
bandits have already taken
so much from us.
What more do you want?
Our blood?
You know who originally owned
my snack shop?
My father.
Awful jokes,
but his kachori recipe
was the best
this side of the Harshlands.
The Brigade discovered
he was a bender.
All he wanted to do
was feed people.
Instead he was conscripted,
forced to serve his haven.
He died in service.
- [whispers]
- [bender] Yeah. That's terrible.
[benders chattering worriedly]
[Agam] I fled Ellora soon after.
I couldn't bear
living in a place
that prided itself on his loss.
"For the survival of Ellora!"
What a crock of camodillo!
Your father has more honor
than you ever will!
His sacrifice meant--
Meant what?
Another generation of benders
would be forced
into a life they don't want?
Benders, being trapped
behind these walls
isn't truly living.
A few of you
have already realized that.
Let me introduce you
to our new recruits.
- [benders gasp]
- The missing benders?
[benders whispering]
[scoffs]
Uki how could you?
You're following a madwoman!
She's nothing like
what you've been told.
Agam can save us all.
We're with the Faceless because
we want a different life,
free from danger,
where we choose our own destiny.
- [whispers] Really?
- You can do that?
What sort of destiny is that?
We're going to Republic Forest.

[people clamoring]
[grunts] Mudpies!
What's going on up there?
Don't worry! This is just a
normal Brigade drill.
Stay calm! This is all routine!
Go about your lives!
Who's that?
The Republic Forest
cut themselves off
from the rest of us ages ago!
Yeah, I don't think you're gonna
get a very warm welcome.
If they're even alive.
No one's inviting
the two of you.
- [scoffs]
- [grumbles]
We believe the Republic Forest
is free from the deadly storms
that plague us all.
Where benders and non-benders
can live without fear,
without oppression.
Cute! You believe
in fairy tales.
[screams]
Thanks to your "donation"
of gear, food, and herd animals,
the Faceless are ready
to cross the Harshlands
to the Lost Haven.
And here is my invitation.
If any benders have had enough
of a crumbling system
that no longer protects them,
you're welcome to join us.
[gasps] She's trying
to take our benders?
To everyone else,
heed this warning now.
Stay out of our way.
Months of raids that have
terrified our citizens,
crippled our haven,
and for what,
a doomed mission?
Our remaining benders
are loyal to Ellora.
Are you?
- Never questioned it before.
- Never thought about it before.
[female bender] I didn't even
know that was an option.
[quietly] Come on,
kick her bandit butt!
- [benders clamoring]
- [breathing nervously]
Any benders
that join the Faceless
will be considered traitors
to Ellora and arrested!
[scoffs]
It's like I always said!
We're just tools to the Council.
- I'm done!
- He's right!
[bender 1] I'm done with this.
If you leave,
you'll doom your home!
- [bender 2] He's right.
- I'm with the Faceless!
No more benders' blood!
[bender 3]
What's the point of it all?
[bender 4]
Yeah, I'm out of here!

Oh, no, no.

Arrest who? The Faceless?
The traitors?
Everyone!
Don't try to stop us.
You'll just embarrass yourself.

You're not going anywhere!
[rumbling]
- [whispers] Who is that?
- What's going on?
Karthik's niece can bend?
I thought she was
just his assistant!
I thought she was a small adult.
She's very intimidating.
This is definitely not good.
[Agam laughs] O-ho!
Hello again, little bender!
Nisha, was it?
The bravest amongst you
has stepped forward,
and she's a toddler!
Watch it, auntie.
Decent strength, for a child.
But your form is sloppy.
[grumbles]
Ha!
Creative, but your expression
gave the attack away.
You must be calm as a stone.
Stop giving me notes!
[Pavi] What's going on?
Agam's fighting Nisha?
How do we help Nisha
without being seen?
[rumbling]
You're a better cook
than a bandit.
[rocks crashing]
Oh, kiddo. I'm good
at a lot of things!
Y-You You're a bender?
What can I say?
Like father, like daughter.
You're fast on your feet!
Too bad you only know
the Elloran styles.
[grunting]
This isn't your fight, child.
Yes, it is!
Ellora's mine
to protect because

I'm the Avatar!
The Avatar!
Nisha!
No!
[grunts]
No, it can't be

That's the Destroyer!
Oh, Nisha.
What have you done?

Um greetings, everyone.
Ahh! [shudders]

The Avatar has returned!
Yes, but don't worry!
I'm here to--

How is this possible?
Time to go.

Kayoko, everything

Chancellor,
I beg your forgiveness.
The Commander used my allegiance
to the Brigade against me,
seducing me
into the White Lotus.
I was tempted,
but now I see how damaging
their deceit has been.
My loyalty is to Ellora
always.
Jae, you're betraying the Order!
No, you betrayed Ellora.
I see that now.
I'm proud of you, Jae.
[inhales]
Hmm. I forgive you, Jae.
I know all too well
how convincing Karthik can be.
I will find the Avatar,
even if I have to tear down
every brick in Ellora.
We will track down her friends,
her family, her foolish allies!
Someone will talk.
Datu, tear apart
the Brigade Compound.
Commander Jae will guide you
to the other dissenters.
What have you done?
For the survival of Ellora.

Me? We I
I know nothing about this girl!
This might explain why Ellora's
been plagued with disasters.
Chancellor, I am deeply sorry
for the devastation
that has been brought on Ellora.
We've discussed
your deception and we--
We're withdrawing our aid!
But Ellora needs you!
We had an agreement!
Tell that to Kuzon!
Oh, wait, you can't.
He's afflicted!
[groans]
I'm getting out
of this cursed haven
as fast as I can.
This was a terrible summit!
The food was surprisingly good.
I am sorry, Kayoko.
We must think of our own people.
When you get control
of your haven, contact me.
Feather Mountain makes space
for forgiveness.
Chancellor
What do we do now?
[sighs]
What do Ellorans do?
We survive, no matter the cost.
Establish a curfew,
lock the haven down,
arrest any bender
who refuses to serve
and find the Avatar.

and lock down the city!
The Avatar must be detained!

[low growl]
[indistinct chatter]
See that they get the best care.
What gives, Kayoko?
You've been hiding the scourge
of humanity within your haven!
Me? We I
I know nothing about this girl!
This might explain why Ellora's
been plagued with disasters.
Chancellor, I am deeply sorry
for the devastation
that has been brought on Ellora.
We've discussed
your deception and we--
We're withdrawing our aid!
But Ellora needs you!
We had an agreement!
Tell that to Kuzon!
Oh, wait, you can't.
He's afflicted!
[groans]
I'm getting out
of this cursed haven
as fast as I can.
This was a terrible summit!
The food was surprisingly good.
I am sorry, Kayoko.
We must think of our own people.
When you get control
of your haven, contact me.
Feather Mountain makes space
for forgiveness.
Chancellor
What do we do now?
[sighs]
What do Ellorans do?
We survive, no matter the cost.
Establish a curfew,
lock the haven down,
arrest any bender
who refuses to serve
and find the Avatar.
[panting]
[guard] Close the gates
and lock down the city!
The Avatar must be detained!
Orders from the Chancellor!
