Toji sends a note via messenger hawk to his companions at the library about Etisha being held in the Fire Nation camp to the east of Shimoni Dhato. The library group prepares to meet up with the Embers dispatched to plan a rescue attempt.
Tamping down Jang Tae's gung-ho attitude, the group sneaks into the camp and, with Dharma's expertise, manages to secure Etisha easily. Moshi dispatches the firebender interogating her and the group leaves without much conflict.
Back at Camp, Toji works to convince Etisha that she should stay and help train their benders through the use of the scrolls she has left. She's no friend of the Fire Nation, but she's hesitant since getting involved got her captured in the first place. Dharma leans into wanting to amend that and apologizes, convincing her to stay for now.
Bozan pushes forth to Toji that allowing the Fire Nation to recuperate to the east may prove costly - with Okuru that group cannot hesitate. Toji stands by his restraint, citing the need to recalibrate resources and plans. With the handover of Shan to Ba Sing Se, the notoriety of the resistance will spread and they'll have a much easier time dealing with Okuru and Yama.
Meanwhile, Ma Leng and Ma Ran return the camp from the Advance Station headed by Wu Hana. They claim she has invited a number of her seedy past comrades and are taking advantage of the pop-up town. Moshi, Toji, and Bhaga go to set Wu Hana in her place - getting her to agree to send her friends back, but they're disgruntled.
At the Misty Library, Shizaku remains poring over ideasd for camp defenses and improved weaponry. Jyoti approaches him and suggests Shizaku join him going to the Northern Air Temple - think of the wonders we could find! Shizaku is initially hesitant, but Jyoti expands his ideas suggesting anything from the Air Nation could benefit their resistance.
As they trek through the mountains Jyoti explains how, since his master Arjan sacrificed himself to protect Tribhuvan's journals from Yama, Jyoti is keen to try to protect - and restore - the Air Nomads. He suggests Shizaku can help push Dharma towards such a goal, bigger than himself. Shizaku wonders how it benefits him as he follows Jyoti through the wilderness.
The camp, working to decide next steps, sends Kou east to pick up Shizaku, not knowing he's moving further away.
