Leaves from the Vine

It's time to tearbend. This episode, the Yip Yippers cover Book Two chapters 14: City of Walls and Secrets, 15: Tales of Ba Sing Se, and 16: Appa's Lost Days. Jordan cries big man tears as soon as Iroh steps foot on that grassy knoll before singing "Leaves from the Vine." Katie finds out Troy has dimples and at some point we all sing “Say my Name”. Ba Sing Se reminds Katie of our trip to Singapore and some of the more Orwellian elements. We discuss Long Feng’s methods for keeping knowledge of the war out of the city. Jet makes Katie sad. Troy doesn’t have much faith in the people of Ba Sing Se being much help. Katie is disappointed all the boys get their own vignette in Tales of Ba Sing Se but Katara and Toph have to share one. Troy hates Sokka’s haiku showdown. Jordan wishes Tales of Ba Sing Se was an episode focused solely on Iroh. Katie appreciates Jin’s directness in asking Zuko out and everyone is emotional learning about Appa's lost days.
