@avclub-7cbaf9384cf3835106bf2f444c0bcf65:disqus  THANK you! Azula's hair drives me crazy. Her topknot basically looks the same as Zuko's in Book 3, but Zuko's sporting a slightly overgrown shag.

Ok, I just went back and watched the last 5 minutes and had an epiphany: as the Avatar she IS Aang and all of those past Avatars at the same time. It's not that God appeared and restored everything to her. She opened up part of herself, accessed her past lives, and got it back.
