I really enjoy this episode because Katara as The Painted Lady is a great showcase of her character. This is my second time re-watching the series (after watching it when it first aired). The episode was directed by Ethan Spaulding and written by Joshua Hamilton. Katara reveals herself as the Painted Lady, saves the villagers with the help of her friends, and is thanked by the real Painted Lady afterward. Aang discovers the secret identity that Katara has adopted, and they destroy the nearby factory that has been polluting the river, prompting soldiers to attack the village. Wishing to aid them, Katara disguises herself as the Painted Lady, the river spirit of the village, healing the town's sick and providing food while they sleep. The gang journeys to a Fire Nation village populated by sick and starving people. Mike suggested that this village be floating after seeing a real village on water. Jang Hui (江灰), translates to "gray river" in Chinese, referencing the appearance of the surrounding river when it is not polluted Sokka's "master schedule" is actually a production schedule that was used by animators to plan out the episodes and the seasons. The position of the hands on the statue of the Painted Lady is the Vitarka Mudrâ, the gesture of discussion and teaching that can be seen on some real-world statues of Buddhas. Spoilers: For the sake of those that haven't watched the full series yet, please use the spoiler tag to hide spoilers for major/specific plot points that occur in later episodes.
