After such a forceful display of the Avatar State's power, it was the perfect juxtaposition to show the state being used in a more calm, controlled manner, proving that Aang had finally become the fully-realized Avatar he was always destined to be. Zuko returns home, but is uneasy with his newfound reputation. Katara meets her father for the first time in years. He briefly went into the Avatar State after taking away Ozai's bending in order to douse the singed Wulong Forest so that no one else would suffer due to Ozai's plot to burn the Earth Kingdom to the ground. Weeks after the fall of the Earth Kingdom, Aang and his friends must infiltrate the Fire Nation. It's hard to believe that he didn't accidentally kill Ozai during all of this, which goes to show that even when he's in such a state, he still manages to remain true to his no-killing rule. He overwhelmed Ozai with some of the strongest bending fans had ever seen in the franchise, using all four elements in innovative, destructive ways never before seen. After being overwhelmed by Ozai's relentless Firebending, Aang's wound was struck, reopening his sealed chakra. When locals of a small island discover Aang is the Avatar, they treat him like a celebrity.

But upon arrival, it becomes apparent that the temple is not at all how Aang remembers it. The last time Aang went into the Avatar State came in the later half of his fight against Ozai. Aang is eager to take Sokka and Katara to the Air Temple where he was raised.
