305: The Beach
306: Sorry, they skip this number and list 307. Typo?
307:The Runaway

301: The Awakening
Not much really. Aang awakening from his coma. Probably discovering he has temporarily lost the avatar spirit connection or something. The gaang regrouping and trying to decide what to do. I cant think of what Zuko and Iroh are doing. Zuko and Azula probably try to reconnect but theres some tension and Zuko is still feeling guilty about his betrayal. Azula said "sleep, just like mother. Is it possible that Ursa has been somewhere "sleeping and also wakes up?"

302: The Headband I cant get a single clue from the title of this. But maybe this is the episode when the characters get their new hairdos. Zuko may try and talk to Iroh, who will either ignore him and not acknowledge him at all. Which will cut him deeper in the heart than anything else. Aang may start searching for a firebending teacher.

303: The Painted Lady Maybe, just maybe, while in the earth kingdom, The Gaang come across a painted lady. Personally, I think that its, Ursa, Zuko's mom!!! Think about it guys. She could paint her face like a Kyoshi warrior and no one would recognize her except for her kids and husband. Who would never expect to find her in a backwater earth kingdom town. (They did'nt recognize Suki, at first, did they?!) I bet Aang and company run into the "painted lady", Zuko probably wont see her in this episode, or maybe they'll see each other from a distance and barely recognize each other but be drawn to each other. Thats probably what makes Zuko really start to actively search her out!!!

304:Sokka's Master I'm not sure about this idea, but this is what I've got:
Sokka is obviously the A plot in this, and he learns some cool fighting techniques and all. It'll be cool to see Sokka shine seriously and comically. Who knows, he may even discover that he has a small bending talent that he chooses to ignore.
I think Zuko will dream about his mom and recall the dream he had during his metamorphoses and what the Blue dragon (Azula) said about sleeping like his mom. I think he will go and demand that Iroh speak with him. They'll talk about his mom and maybe at the very end,
A. Zuko will help Iroh escape and go to search for his mom alone.
B. Zuko and Iroh will escape together and go in search of Ursa.
(Either way, I am convinced that Ursa left a secret message that told how to find her. But who did she leave it for? In what form?)
Heck, maybe Azula has some info that she lets fall not knowing how much it is worth and Zuko puts the peices together to realize where she went...Either way, I am 80% sure that this is Zuko's mom.

305: The Beach I think we will see flashbacks from Zukos memory that will show us that memory he has had twice before (The still frame on of him, Azula, and Iroh on a ledge at the beach and he's truly happy and smiling and theres a hand on his shoulder) Also we may see flashbacks of Aangs past and hopefully even Katara and Sokka's memories from when they were on the shores of the beach in the south pole. It'll be cool to see Tophs first time at the ocean...maybe they'll try and teach her to swim--which would be the perfect trigger for other peoples memories.

Some how...I can also see Aang finding out why the war started. Maybe having visions of Roku and Sozen on the beach?

406: They have'nt clearly listed the title for this one. At TV.com, 47 comes after 45 and 47 is titled the runaway

407: The Runaway...hmm is it possible that Lee, the boy from Zuko alone, has left home in search for the young man who--for only a day--was like a brother to him? The one who saved him. Maybe he and Zuko will see each other and Zuko will be ashamed of the choice he's made? Thats if Zuko is still alone. Maybe that girl Song came after Zuko? Maybe they both came after Zuko...or maybe this is still speaking about Zuko's mom. I doubt its about Ursa but then again I am merely guessing based on the title of episodes so....yeah. Dont take me to seriously.

Also, the Painted Lady could be referring to Suki, as I'm sure Sokka will want to know what happened to her.

ow yeah...I hope ur predictions are true.. cause if they are, we're going to get a season full ZUKOliciousness heart

Seeing as how--at this point--many, many things are possible for season three, theoretically, it could indeed be, Suki. But I very highly doubt that. It does'nt make much sense for this to be Suki. She can just be picked up outside of Ba Sing Se or any other place. It is likely that she may reappear in this episode or in any of the all ready named episodes, but I really do not think that "The Painted Lady" is Suki....


I also read another sensible theory for the implied character. (A painting of a woman whom Zuko recognizes as his mom, perhaps some small town met her and had been helped by her and made a picture in tribute)

My guess is at the end of summer. I heard on Dongbufeng.net that production for season three started a bit late and that Nick has been contemplating how to release the episodes, a few in the spring and then none all summer--like they did season two, then the remained in the fall--THAT METHOD IN MY OPINION SUCKED I HOPE THEY DONT!!!!

Or by waiting until the end of summer and premiering it in the fall with weekly/biweekly airings of the episodes--if they did it this way then they would have a special episode correspond with Halloween!!! and the season would finish in three months and not be stretched and prolongued for all eternity!!!

Dongbufeng has this on their home page: Just an opinion, higlight to see:

Really? I always tend to like the anti-hero characters. Sometimes more than the heros--thats not exactly the case regarding A:TLA--but just curious:

Do you hate him because of something he did in the show, or because you never liked him to begin with, or you just dont like the Anti-hero characters?
