Amity's intro

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years passed, and me, Willow and Gus discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Luz. And although her airbending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone.

But I believe Luz can save the world

The episode opens on board a Fire Nation ship where Luz finally regains consciousness. The camera zooms out on her face as she opens her eyes and rises from her bed, visibly shaken and in pain, and with her hair being longer now.

“What happened?” (Sees the Fire Nation designs and flag and immediately assumes she has been captured.) “Oh no!” Luz said

She leaves her room, carefully creaking open the door and peering outside for any sign of Fire Nation soldiers. Using her glider as a crutch, Luz stumbles across the hall, occasionally leaning on the wall for support due to being weak. She stops at a turn in the hallway upon hearing two guards, who are actually Pipsqueak and The Duke, talking to each other.

“You hear something?” (Luz retreats behind the wall, where she dons a determined look and quickly steps out to send a weak air blast at them, which only ruffles their clothes, and moves past the hallway.) “She's awake!” (The two begin chasing Luz, who struggles to escape.) “Stop! Wait!” Pipsqueak said

Luz manages to reach the deck of the ship, however, she stumbles on the stairway and drops her staff. It slides over to where Hakoda and Bato, disguised as Fire Nation soldiers, are petting King.

(Confused.) “King?” Luz asked

King runs toward Luz, jumps on her shoulder and licks her face. Amity, Camila and Boscha, standing near the edge of the ship, hear the events.

“Twinkle Toes! That's gotta be you!” Boscha said

“Luz!” Camila said

“Luz, you're awake!” Amity said (The three race over to her.)

“Are you sure?” (Rubs eyes.) “I feel like I'm dreaming.” Luz said

(Hugs Luz.) “You're not dreaming. You're finally awake.” Amity said

(Hugs Luz, is disguised as a Fire Nation guard.) “Luz, good to see you back with the living, buddy!” Willow said

“Willow?” Luz asked (Breathes heavily, appears to be passing out.)

“Uh-oh, somebody catch her, he's going to-” Boscha didn’t finish

The screen becomes black as Luz collapses to the floor, Amity running short of catching her. The shot cuts to the entire group, including Appa, surrounding Luz who is now in Amity's arms. Appa for the first time since being captured by the sandbenders has a new saddle. Meanwhile, on another ship, Lilith is heading toward the Fire Nation. Lai joins her.

“Aren't you cold?” Lai asked

“I've got a lot on my mind. It's been so long, over three years since I was home. I wonder what's changed. I wonder how I've changed.” Lilith said

(Yawns.) “I just asked if you were cold, I didn't ask for your whole life story.” (Lilith frowns at her sarcastic response. Lai giggles and holds her face in her hands.) “Stop worrying.” Lai said
