[Katara sighs, and shifts in her chair.] In a way. It turns out that the whole thing was a trap set up by Long Feng, the head of the Dai Li. He'd been using the Earth King like a puppet, somehow making sure that no one in the city knew about the war... he didn't want us to interfere.

So he brainwashed Jet. He used him to get us to go to an abandoned stable and try to send us halfway across the world to get Appa back. And we would have gone too, if Jet hadn't run into some of his freedom fighters in the city... they remembered what happened to him differently. I tried to use my bending to help jog his real memories and it worked, a little. He was able to take us to the Dai Li's underground headquarters.

But while we were down there, we were separated. Aang and Jet were off by themselves... and Long Feng 'activated' Jet, turned him against Aang... [And now Katara looks away.] But Jet found a way to overcome it. In the end, he turned against Long Feng and fought by Aang's side...

...and that's how it happened. I didn't see it. I got there too late. But I saw the rock that had slid towards him - it was twice his size, and he must have connected with it pretty fast... his insides were all mashed up, and the Dai Li were closing in...

[She's not quite crying now, but she wishes she was, because this band in her chest is tight and her eyes feel hot and it hurts to breathe.] He said he'd be fine.
