AAAND WE'RE BACK! - New Soap Summary!
Hello Soap fans! So sorry for the endless hiatus but we are back! To get everyone caught up here is a link to the last Soap Summary!
And now what you've all been waiting for.... Soap Summary Week 9.5!!
Putting her suspicions about her boyfriend’s fight with Haru momentarily behind her, Katara calls Zuko, only to find him getting drunk at the hotel bar. Seems Azula and Haru are all too happy to be reunited and have decided to use their few precious days to their full advantage, much to Zuko’s annoyance. It’s really a shame those walls are so thin. Katara calls back the next morning as Zuko is feeling the aftereffects of last night, having spent the entire time, glass in hand, avoiding the noises from upstairs. Needless to say, he’s a little grumpy. Katara is not all too happy either, she still harbors some suspicions over Zuko's actions, and later finds out that she's out of a job, due to the tea shop being closed under mysterious circumstances.
Despite the fact that his girlfriend just visited, Zuko can’t keep his thoughts away from Azula and reflects on his complicated feelings for his sister - “Now that she’s not alone with me right now, it seems easy to say that I can overcome it, but Gods, every time I’m around her I lose anything I’ve resolved before.”
Still, Katara hopes it's just the distance keeping her worries running high over what exactly her boyfriend is up to. She calls him again, letting him know about the tea shop's unexpected closing.
Aunt Wu is also informed of the situation at the shop when she tries to call Iroh before their date later that night.
With hours to kill as she flies to see her husband, Azula contemplates the upsetting news that Haru and Zuko fought over her. Also weighing on her is knowing that, after years of watching their father abuse Zuko, she has indirectly caused her brother to endure yet another beating. How will she deal with seeing him again?
After arriving in Asia, Azula wastes no time getting to the concert hall where the boys are playing. By the end of the concert she is exhausted yet exhilarated and the look on Zuko’s face from behind the autograph table when he looks up from signing her proffered album is priceless.
Haru has an even bigger surprise for his beloved bride when he shows her the proof of his devotion - her name, scrawling up his hipbones.
He also renews his conviction to keep Azula from temptation even if it means removing it from her path. Look out Zuko and Ozai.
Too bad Zuko didn't get the memo.
With Haru busy at the recording studio, Zuko manages to convince Azula that a day out walking the town is just what she needs... despite Haru's specific instructions to stay put in their hotel room. What starts as innocent fun soon turns otherwise, when a visit to get ice cream ends with our favorite siblings passionately entwined and racing to consummate their forbidden desires. Luckily, or not as the case may be, Appa interrupts, followed by a worn-out Aang. It's not clear who's actually walking who, but an oblivious Aang stops to chat for a few minutes before running off again.
Their ardor cooled, Azula and Zuko decide to play it safe, sticking to public places for the rest of the evening. Not quite ready for the visit to end they take the long way back to the hotel. As the sun sets, they find their path drifting away from the fast-paced tourist-centered town. With lanterns guiding their way and music floating down to the streets from open windows, Azula's last night on vacation couldn't have been any nicer… or romantic. Zuko is also enjoying himself far more than he has in a very long time.
But all good things must come to an end. With a flower in her hair (courtesy of Zuko) and a few ice cream stains on her dress (also his doing), Azula walks back into the hotel with Zuko at her heels and a grin on her face. ...That is until she sees Haru standing there waiting for them. Despite her assurances that they were just out for a walk around town, Haru does not look pleased, and leads her back to their room without a word.
Zuko doesn't see her again until the next evening - her last evening before she has to head back home. If Haru could have his way, they wouldn't see each other at all, but a studio party lends itself to being the perfect meeting place. However, Haru keeps his wife annoyingly close by throughout the party, leaving Zuko no opening to approach. That is until a crowd of fans finally manages to corner the singer, allowing Azula a few minutes of alone time on the balcony. But not for long.
Zuko, yet again, is trying to help out his little sister with promises of more money for her future. Seems like the tea shop mysteriously closing is inconveniencing quite a few people, as Azula is without a job now as well. As things seems to always go with this unconventional pair, the siblings soon slip back to their comfortable flirty ways, stealing kisses on the dimly lit balcony before Haru can escape from his fans' clutches. Pushing Zuko away once Haru re-joins them, Azula attempts to talk her way out of anything Haru might be thinking, but his suspicions are running high. It'll take more than a few words to convince him that their “just talking” was as innocent as she would have him believe.
The party is over before Azula and Zuko find another chance to meet, and Azula has to catch her flight soon. Not expecting to see Zuko again before her plane takes off, Azula is completely surprised when he slides into the seat next to her in the airport lounge. Haru has gone to get her completely checked in, but at this time of night the airport's nearly empty. There's not a moment to spare. They say their goodbyes, holding each other and making the most of their few precious minutes. Why does it seem like it's every goodbye is harder than the last?
Meanwhile, Ozai is plotting for a wedding, world domination, regaining his daughter, crushing nearly everyone else, and a better golf game. Not in that order. Toph on the other hand is terrified of the rumors surrounding her relationship with Aang and their constant fighting. She and Suki try and support each other through their family troubles.
After finding out that Suki is pregnant, Teo wonders why he never saw it sooner, yet still can’t keep Azula off his mind. He and Suki decide to end their short.. If you could call it a relationship - he’s not ready for that kind of commitment - although he promised he would help her out anyway he could. With a negative view on his luck with women, Teo heads to the bar. With the help of a few drinks to loosen him up and some persuasive words from Jet, Teo ends up sleeping with Jun. The next day he questions just exactly how he let it happen, and begins to wonder how complicated this is going to get.
Suki finally calls her mother to tell her the "big news," but the conversation doesn't go exactly as planned. Afterwards, a tired Suki gives Toph a call. With the teashop being closed until further notice, Suki is also out of work, so Toph offers her a job working for the Azulon household. Suki accepts the offer, and is still feeling overwhelmed by all of this, but decides that she can only move forward from here.
What happens next is anyone's guess... stay tuned to find out!
This peculiar brand of madness is brought to you by:
drygon (Zuko, Teo, & Suki), dungeonwriter (Ozai, Toph, & Alicia), batmarg (Katara), kyatto (Iroh), and loveroftheflame (Azula, Aang, & Aunt Wu)!
