During a banquet at the royal palace, the group is attacked by Yun, who seeks revenge on everyone who ever lied to him about being the Avatar, including Rangi's mother Hei-Ran.

After defusing a confrontation between Zoryu's supporters and Chaejin's henchmen led by his mother Huazo, Nyahitha attempts to guide Avatar Kyoshi into the Spirit World, to little success.

Yun takes advantage of the distraction to attack Hei-Ran, who barely survives when Kyoshi squanders an opportunity to pursue him in order to save her.

When she returns to the royal palace, she discovers that Fire Lord Zoryu has arrested an imposter of Yun and intends to execute him to stop the war, then purge Chaejin's entire clan.

Kyoshi rescues the imposter, but Fire Lord Zoryu warns her that she must find the real Yun before his duplicity is revealed and a civil war is sparked.

In the aftermath, Fire Lord Zoryu plans to go through with his purge of Chaejin's clan, but is stopped by Avatar Kyoshi through her old mentor Lao Ge.
