Meanwhile, Zuko and Iroh have found jobs in a tea house, where the former Fire Nation general soon becomes popular for his superior tea brews. A neighbor, however, reveals that conversing about the War is strictly forbidden and warns the team to steer clear of the secret police force, the Dai Li. Even Aang's attempts to find Appa bear no fruit as no one seems willing to divulge any information to them, thanks to some meaningful glances from Joo Dee. It soon becomes apparent that within the walls of the city, no one wants to talk or even think about the War raging in the rest of the world. When a possible audience with the Earth King is finally mentioned, it is revealed that they will have to wait at least a month. Aang recalls that this was the reason that he did not visit the city in the years before his being trapped in the iceberg, as the Air Nomads taught equality for all. As they see the many sections of Ba Sing Se, Team Avatar soon finds the segregation of rich and poor people is not to their liking. Attempts by Sokka to try to get their guide to talk about the War and a possible audience with the Earth King are invariably ignored.
Soon after they arrive, Aang and his friends are met by Joo Dee, a woman assigned to guide them around the city. While the others are optimistic about having reached the city, Toph is none too thrilled: apparently, she did not find the thought of "life in the big city" much to her liking. Team Avatar is provided with a house to stay in while in Ba Sing Se.Īs a reward for protecting Ba Sing Se from the Fire Nation attack, Avatar Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph are allowed into the city and given a house in the Upper Ring. His last attempt, challenging Zuko to a sword fight, ends in his own arrest. Elsewhere, Jet repeatedly tries and fails to gather evidence that Zuko and Iroh are firebenders. They soon learn that any mention of war is forbidden and enforced by the Dai Li, the secret police of Ba Sing Se, and their corrupt leader, Long Feng, who appears to know something about Appa. Aang and the rest of the group arrive in Ba Sing Se to find Appa and inform the Earth King about the solar eclipse, but they are constantly hindered by their tour guide, Joo Dee.
