Aang must decide whether to follow through on his promise, and decide the fate of the colonies in the process. When the Earth Kingdom army arrives to enforce the Restoration Movement, Zuko deploys his own forces in defense of the colonies, leading to an explosive showdown between the recently belligerent sides and threatening to reignite the fires of war. Fire Lord Zuko is caught between the desires of his people and the demands of many who believe peace and balance is only attainable if Fire Nation citizens return to their country. These people view the movement as robbing them of their homes. However, an unexpected controversy breaks out, as the older colonies are composed of people who have never lived within the Fire Nation and have intermarried with Earth Kingdom citizens. The movement plans to take the people in the Fire Nation colonies and move them into the Fire Nation itself.

Negotiations with Earth King Kuei and the beginning of the Harmony Restoration Movement commence. Zuko forces Aang to promise to kill him if he becomes like his father, the deposed Fire Lord Ozai. The unfinished conversation between Zuko and Ozai about the whereabouts of Ursa, Zuko's long-lost mother, is completed, but the conversation takes a different path after Zuko asks the question and her fate still remains unknown.
