Both Aang's group and Zuko's stop at the same town for supplies (in Zuko's case, a very reluctant stop due to the apparently less plot relevant need for Iroh to replace the lotus tile he's lost from his game) and run into the same group of pirates, a group who have in their possession a scroll of water-bending techniques. Katara's resentment of the ease with which Aang acquires water-bending drives a lot of the action, and ties into her short temper and tendency to act first and think later. Meanwhile, Aang is pretty impressive. I assume only the Avatar can learn bending of more than one element? I did wonder about the loose thread of whoever was buying the water bending scroll the pirates had. Meanwhile, Iroh comes up with an inadvertent proverb about unwatched boats escaping that amused me greatly, and I chuckle happily at the thought of Zuko being subjected to similar actual proverbs throughout their journey.
In the second episode, the Jet of the title turns out to be a straw-chewing cool kid who leads a gang of kids from their hideout in the forest against the Fire Nation. He invites Aang and the others to help; Katara is impressed, Sokka less so, despite Jet's attempts to include him, and is even less impressed when it turns out that Jet's hatred of the Fire Nation means he'll target civilians of both Earth and Fire Nations in order to eliminate troops.
( Giving away the episode ending. )
There's a bit of a lack of female characters at the moment – we see the silhouetted back views of some children at Jet's camp who might be female, given hair styles, but that's it. I am pretty sure this is going to even up, so am just noting it. I still don't think we've seen any other female benders beside Katara (oh, wait – the previous Avatar whose statue was on Kyoshi?). None in the present day yet, anyway.
