All I have to say is, telling someone "I hate you. Hurt my boyfriend, and I'll kill you," is not romantic. There was no sexual tension or whatever in that particular confrontation. Getting anything romantic out of it would not be realistic.
Nothing pro-any-ship in this ep, really, except for for Sokka frequently carrying Toph around. None of the predicted Katara/Haru interaction... at all. Oh, well.

When it came to the shippings, this is episode was (in a way) confusing.
Katara's actions toward Zuko got me thinking on what she thought of him. Sure she doesn't trust him & she must've felt hurt by what he had done in the past [season 2-the catacombs- & other times] but maybe (just maybe) later on other thoughts of Zuko will form in her mind.
She did seem waaay too protective over Aang. It was both motherly and girlfriend-ish. In a way, this shows that Katara has Aang on her mind a lot and wants to take care of him no matter what Zuko thinks of her.
Though, Zuko did seem to take some interest in Katara. When Aang asked everyone what they thought of Zuko joining the Gaang, he seemed to take a LOT of interest in Katara's response. You could even see the drops of sweat falling down from his temple.
Then, when Katara went to go to his room, I don't know but he had a weird kind of expression on his face. Maybe it's just me but I could see that it was slightly different from his other expressions. Zuko looked like he had more attention on Katara than the other characters after Aang "accepted" him into the Gaang.
Either way, it all brings me back to Zuko trying to help the Avatar restore peace to the four nations and defeating the Fire Lord. Just like Katara wants to help Aang beat the Fire Lord for the same reasons. You also have to remember that Kataang has been cannon many times. Katara won't let those special times slip right by her.
This episode has me all confused now. The creators did a job well done doing that. =P

Thoughts that he just may not be a monster without human emotions perhaps? That has to happen.
Of course because Aang said that it all came down to what his friends wanted. Toph accepted him and Sokka accepted him. So...who does that leave?
It was a smile, the same ones he gave to Aang and Sokka. He was so happy to be accepted he was walking on sunshine, but Katara ended that quick.
I must've missed all of this "special attention" Zuko gave Katara because what i saw was him trying to get Aang to accept (He even brought up the friends comment to him and the fact that Aang knew that he has good in him. Not Katara, Aang) and that he was trying to apologize to Toph for burning him. He didn't say a word to Katara (other than apologizing to her and Sokka for attacking the watertribe)
It was kinda funny actually, seeing that many people thought Katara was going to be the first person he got on his hands and knees and begged forgiveness from, and yet he didn't say one word to her and didn't seem to even realize her existance until it came down to her decision and the death threat. As i thought, when it comes to the gaang, he only cares about Aang and Aang only. (kinda like Katara)
....it's really is amazing how differently people see episodes >.< This was not "confusing" in the least bit

So I'm still the only one who noticed the Special Smirk he gave Sokka. There's still hope for me too, y'know.  It wasn't the uber smile he gave everyone else either. It was a smirk. And it was awesome. You all can argue Kataang/Zutara/Maiko/Toko/Whatevs all you want. My side of the force will be a happy one. |

Hm... I just randomly realized Zuko's hair is SLIGHTLY shorter this time around...weird....
ANYWAY, even though I'm basically positive Kataang will be canon in the end, I can't help but wonder why Katara hasn't brought up the kiss yet. I don't think Aang would bring it up first because he probably feels it's her move....
I really wonder what she's thinking, trying to sort out her feelings...
Hm, well I would still root for a triangle. I do love complications....
I do actually think Zuko did give a very subtle vibe of wanting Katara's approval a bit more than Sokka's/Toph's, but I think this is due to the fact that he has directly slighted her almost as much as Aang and probably holds her approval second to Aang's.
So though I would LOVE it to be Zutara, it's not really. But in my mind it will be, lol.

Yeah...I don't think that this episode had much shipping in it...we're all just reading into things. Katara's death threat seemed like something she would do for any of her friends if they had been nearly killed a few times. As for Zuko's smirk/smile for Sokka and smile for Katara? He's just being friendly. I mean, he does have to try extra hard to show that he's good now, after trying to capture them for so long  Also, the nervous sweat that Zuko had can be attributed to two things: 1) He knew he sorta 'betrayed' Katara and/or 2) She was the last person to have a say in whether or not he stayed, so of course he would be nervous!!!! That being said, I still like Zutara just because it is so unlikely that it's awesome.  |

Because the creators are going to drag it out as long as they possibly can >.<
another reason is because he knows how close she is to Aang. (well if he didn't at first, he knows now <_<)
Katara itching to end Zuko, could really hinder Aang's training. So they need to go ahead and work this out
Haru/Katara/Aang, remember this ;p

As i thought, when it comes to the gaang, he only cares about Aang and Aang only. ( kinda like Katara) Not really "kinda like Katara". When it comes to the gaang, Katara would go with Sokka first. He is her brother after all and she has chosen his side over Aang's in " Bato of the Water Tribe". But that doesn't matter, actually. Just wanted to point that out. ^_^ About the love triangle, as much as I loooove love triangles, I'm afraid there won't be any in the series. (Except for the semi-SukixSokkaxYue one.) They have still so much to take care, non-shipping wise, in only 8 episodes. They have to have Zuko teach Aang firebending, they have to find Iroh again--which I'm positive he'll be in the Pai Sho club and where Sokka's White Lotus Tile that he got from his swordmaster comes in, Zuko searching for Ursa,..... I guess we'll just see in future episodes. |

Actually, season 3 Katara is different than season 1 Katara and yes, she very well could put Aang above everyone else.
That being said, I hope there aren't triangles. I don't like them. They always seem like soap operas to me.

I disagree. As of right now, Katara would place Aang above anyone else (even Sokka)
And as for love triangles, I hate them with a passion, but i'm sold on the thought of there being a Haru/Katara/Aang one. So i'm just bracing myself for it.

I'm expecting a Zuko/Katara/Aang love triangle, too. D: I keep having this.. reoccuring thought of Katara and Zuko reconcilling, the two end up hugging or simply get to close.. and Aang sees them XD Aang runs away and Katara chases after him.. Yeah, I really see that happening >_>
I also expect more Soko... Zukka? Whatever~ I just expect for massive amounts of Sokka/Zuko fics to appear on ff.net, haha. Their interactions were adorable X3
Also, I've seen plenty of relationships start out from the lowest point, with both members saying really cruel and harsh things such as, "I hate you!" The only thing that matters is that they don't really mean it. Katara is just really hurt that Zuko attacked Aang, her trust in him is lost. I don't think she really hates him... And Zuko doesn't hate anyone xD (NO not even his sister. He said so on Ember Isle :P)
