Summary

After three long years, Katara and Sokka (along with Avatar Aang) finally return home to the Southern Water Tribe and are surprised but glad to see their homeland greatly expanded to the point of a bustling and thriving city with their father Hakoda as head chief. They learn that the source of these great changes is due to a strong waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe named Malina whose true motives remain shrouded in mystery.
