It's been so long since i watched the cartoon TV series, but one thing i do remember from the show was the 'heart' aspect of it, and I believe this episode fully captures that portion, especially that of Zuko's story.
While many seem to criticise the acting in this series all the time which I've personally had no complaints about, I would say the acting improves mid way into the season, with this episode being a highlight, especially for Dallas Liu which allows him to shine, as well as from support actors such as Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as the Uncle Iroh we know, Daniel Dae Kim pulling off more and more the Fire Lord Ozai in him, and even Ruy Iskander as the main Lieutenant of Zuko's crew.
Backed with the series' engaging and heartfelt soundtrack, I think this episode is a good example of what this Netflix show is capable of achieving. Solid 9/10 from me.
