   Summary

   High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel.

   The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.

   This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.
