I feel like his only point of prominence is that he knows Hakoda, rather than having purpose in his own right. He has shown to do what he can in order to avoid confronting his fears/issues, and this continues that flaw in his character. Personally, I'm not bothered by Aang taking the letter though for his character. I understand they are enjoying their water tribe culture for the first time in a while, but it still feels out of character for both of them to be completely oblivious to Aang, which is essentially what causes him to hide the letter. On the other end, one issue I have with this episode is that neither Katara or Sokka, especially the former, pick up on Aang's feeling of being left out. Additionally, the fight at the end of this episode is probably the best between Aang and Zuko so far. Although, the Shirshu is one of my favorite of the Avatar-World animals, and it and June's inclusion is very fun. The main plot of this feels much more like a 'kids show' than most others, with Aang hiding the letter from Katara and Sokka's father. This episode is another one on the lower end of Avatar episodes. This episode was directed by Giancarlo Volpe and written by Ian Wilcox. Katara and Sokka decide they cannot leave Aang, as he is part of their family, too. After defeating Zuko, Aang reclaims Katara's necklace and returns it to her. Meanwhile, Zuko hires a bounty hunter named June to help him track down the Avatar. Later, he comes clean about the message, upsetting his friends. Bato suggests they find their father, which causes Aang to fear that his friends may leave him when Aang intercepts a message from Sokka and Katara's father, he hides it because of this. Katara and Sokka reunite with Bato, their old friend from the Southern Water Tribe. You may also remember from a few days ago that he voices Bumi. André Sogliuzzo (Hakoda) who played King Verago in Elena of Avalor. Jennifer Hale (June) who may be best known for the female voice of Commander Shephard in the Mass Effect games. Richard McGonagle (Bato) who voiced Victor Sullivan in the Uncharted games. The name 'Hakoda' is similar to the Malay word 'nakhoda', which translates to 'captain' when taken in the context of a commander of a ship.

The pronunciation of Bato is similar to bateau, the French word for 'boat'. June is shown arm wrestling someone that looks like Ryu from Street Fighter. This episode makes several references to previous episodes in the season.
