History Recap / AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBoilingRockPart1

* PrisonRape: Implied. It's clear - at least to an [[invoked]][[PeripheryDemographic older audience]] - that this is what Suki is afraid of when a random, perverted Fire Nation guard (actually a disguised Sokka) comes into her cell and tries to kiss her. The female Fire Nation guard clearly suspects the same when she spots Zuko acting suspiciously outside Suki's cell, and to her credit, [[TheWomenAreSafeWithUs she's not having it]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The warden of the Boiling Rock clearly loves Mai enough to let Zuko stew in the bask of him dumping her.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: Sokka and Zuko disguise themselves as prison guards. Sokka manages to keep his disguise for a while, but Zuko gets caught.

* PrisonEpisode: Zuko and Sokka infiltrate a Fire Nation prison in the hopes of locating Sokka's father, who had been captured in the war a few weeks earlier.

* ChainmailBikini: The female prison guards' uniforms expose their stomachs, which fits with other Fire Nation female costumes but still seems unsafe. It is slightly more Justified here due to the location's intense heat, but still impractical.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Sokka, while disguised as a prison guard, tries to convince Suki who he really is by kissing her like how she did to him back in ''[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSerpentsPass The Serpent's Pass]]''. Unfortunately, she believes he is just some random prison guard trying to PrisonRape her, and she knocks him before he gets a chance to do. Luckily for Sokka the helmet he was wearing falls out for Suki to see it's him.

* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: It turns out that the coolers they put prisoners in are the perfect boats for the boiling lake.

* TheAlcatraz: The eponymous Boiling Rock lives up to its name. [[MeaningfulName The prison is surrounded my a lake of boiling water]], preventing anyone from escaping so easily.

* TearsOfJoy: Suki sheds these after reuniting with Sokka in her cell.

** A mild example. Zuko has no memory of Suki, but she clearly remembers him burning down her village.

** There's also a sad memory for Sokka from ''[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSiegeOfTheNorthPart2 The Siege of the North, Part 2]]''

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A mild example. Zuko has no memory of Suki, but she clearly remembers him burning down her village.
--> '''Zuko:''' "Oh, sorry about that." ({{Beat}}) "Nice to see you again!"

'''Zuko:''' ...That’s rough, buddy.

-->'''Zuko''': I can't believe that worked. I didn't even know what I was saying.
-->'''Sokka''': No, what you said made no sense at all. But look! It's Suki!

* [[PapaWolf Uncle Wolf]]: The warden as it turns out is Mai's uncle and he's not happy with Zuko breaking his neices heart.

* WingdingEyes: Sokka gets [[HeartSymbol heart symbols]] for his eyes when he realizes that Suki is at the Boiling Rock.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: When Sokka decides to stay in the prison to see if his father is among the war prisoners arriving that day, he tells Suki to escape in the cooler without him as she already spent too many months imprisoned, but she refuses to leave him behind and Zuko also stays with them. [[spoiler: And seeing how ends up that escape attempt, it was better for them that they didn't try to escape through the Boiling lake using the cooler as a boat.]]
