Sokka can't help but worry while she watches Hakoda and the Warden interact, so as soon as she can she rushes off to his cell.
Sokka entered her father's cell. "Thank goodness you're okay."
Hakoda rises to his feet and sticks his fist out. "If you take one step closer, you'll see just how 'okay' I am."
Sokka lifts her helmet mask. "Dad, it's me." She's a bit tired of no one being able to recognize her. Though she supposes it's a good thing.
Hakoda wraps Sokka in a big hug. "You know Sokka, you should be more careful with that guard outfit on. I almost punched you in the gut."
"I know." Sokka says with a sigh.
Later, Sokka questions his father while pretending to stand guard outside his cell. She finds out about the Kyoshi Warriors. Sokka tells her father about how Zuko is on their side now. Then she mentions her failed escape plan. They joke a bit about figuring out a new way to escape.
Sokka gets to pretend to beat Zuko up and she doesn't even think about when they were stuck in the cooler together. Not at all. She tells him about the plan before he gets dragged off to see the Warden.
Sokka goes to tell Suki the plan and as soon as she's done Sokka's getting dragged to meet the Warden herself. Chit Sang's confessing about who the impostor guard is but surprisingly enough, Chit Sang says that the guard who has been bullying him is the impostor.
Sokka lies her way into getting all of the prisoners released into the yard and from there her plan begins. Chit Sang helps start a riot. Suki captures the Warden, saving Sokka from having to figure that part out. Zuko breaks the handle for the gondola so they can get away. Hakoda recognizes Azula and Ty Lee. That's when the plan gets pretty complicated.
Ty Lee leaps up and climbs the line while Azula uses a handcuff and fire blasts trick to catch up to them.
"This is a rematch I've been waiting for." Suki says determined.
"Me too." Zuko says. Sokka resists the urge to roll her eyes, and then the three are climbing on top of the gondola to meet Azula and Ty Lee. Sokka helps both fight their respective opponents, but really both seem like they can handle themselves. When the Warden manages to tell the guards to cut the lines, things get complicated. And then Mai saves them all.
"Dude! You're ex-girlfriend is the best!" Sokka says cheerfully.
Zuko may grunt in agreement. Sokka can't tell. He does more than the grunt, Zuko helps them find a way off of the island in his sister's airship.
Katara is beyond surprised to see that they brought Hakoda and Suki home. And Chit Sang, but not a lot of them pay attention to that. The Water Tribe family gets a reunion hug and it feels really good.
