The curtains reopened, and a scene of the Southern Air Temple was shown. Actor Kaveri entered, looking around suspiciously, as if expecting a sudden horde of monsters to leap out at her. But none did.

However, when her back was turned to the right side of the stage, a shadow grew. A strangely deformed one that made Team Avatar worry. Was it that monster? Then the shadow's origin walked out, and the majority of the audience sigh in relief, but Sokka, Katara, and Aang all reel back in fear.

The actor was dressed in the clothes of Hama the Bloodbender.

"Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no…" Katara fretted. "Why is she there? She's in prison! How is she even alive?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good." Aang stated, furrowing his brow in concentration.

Actor Kaveri turned around, and jumped a little in surprise. "Wh-who are you? Why are you here?"

"Oh, my dear girl," Actor Hama said sweetly, "I am here because I wanted to visit the sometimes-home of the Avatar and his family. Is it true?"

"Y-yes," Actor Kaveri stated. "but-"

"I can't see why he would mind too much an old woman snooping around." She continued. "Especially since I know his wife. We were friends once, a long time ago."

"Yeah, was this before or after you tried to make me into a sadistic hag too?" Katara muttered.

"You know my mother?" Actor Kaveri said, surprised.

Actor Hama smiled. "Yes, Kaveri, my sweet child. I met her in the Fire Nation, years ago. I was a waterbender, captured in my youth, escaped from prison. Then, your mother came along, and I taught her some of my techniques." Her expression turned dark. "And she betrayed me! Let the villagers throw me in prison to rot."

"My mother wouldn't do that." Actor Kaveri stammered. "She wouldn't."

"But she did." Actor Hama stated. "And she has never shown you any of my techniques. Do you know why? She is afraid you will be stronger than her. She fears correctly. You are the Avatar's daughter, one of the most powerful benders of your generation."

"Can you teach me?" Actor Kaveri whispered, unconsciously drawn to what she said.

"My dear, sweet, child. It's what I love to do. It's what I live for. Teaching unfortunate benders like yourself. Poor souls that had no one else to teach them." Actor Hama grinned.

Actor Hama:

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
And I fortunately know a few tricks
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be better
That one wants to meet the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my hoe
Crying, "Help, Hama, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

"Have we got a deal?"

"But will I be able to see my family?" Actor Kaveri asked.

"Of course, every other holiday or so. You'll be a bender, dear. That's what you want, isn't it?

Actor Hama:

Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your service
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and come my way
Darkness spirits, now I've got her, boys
This woman is on a roll!
This poor – unfortunate – SOUL!

The two of them walked offstage together as darkness swept over the stage and the curtains closed.
