After Katara attempts to teach Aang waterbending, but realizes that he is learning it much faster than she is, she is desperate to improve her abilities. When Katara inadvertently stumbles across a waterbending scroll that can help improve her ability while Aang is looking at a pirate’s store, she decides to steal it after she realizes that she couldn’t hope to afford it; but will she be capable of stealing from the pirates without causing herself and her friends trouble?
Katara begins to teach Aang her knowledge of waterbending. Unfortunately for her, Aang immediately masters the lessons she gives him, despite the fact that it took her some time to master them. While she tries to hide it, she grows jealous of Aang's natural talent.
Later, the trio goes to town to buy some supplies, with Aang impulsively buying a bison whistle. They come upon a ship docked with a barker trying to attract business. Ship's crew is selling items that they acquired by "high risk trading". Katara comes upon a training scroll, featuring several waterbending techniques, among their loot, which they're reserving for a wealthy client in the Earth Kingdom. They leave the ship, only to be chased by the crew, Aang and the others escape, only to find the reason they had been pursued: They wanted the scroll Katara had stolen. Katara convinces Sokka and Aang to keep the scroll and learn from it. One of the first techniques they try is the Water Whip, a simple technique where water is formed into an elongated shape and snapped at the target. Katara ends up growing even more jealous of Aang as not only does he learn the technique easily, she herself has trouble getting it to work. When her jealousy nearly get the best of her, she gives up the right to use the scroll, handing it over to Aang. But that night, she succumbs to temptation and steals the scroll to study the technique again.
Meanwhile, Zuko finds himself at the same port town, as Iroh has diverted them there to buy a replacement for a game piece that has turned up missing -- a lotus tile from the game Pai Sho. While there, he comes across the pirates, and discovers that they're pursuing Aang as well because Katara stole the scroll. Zuko joins force with the pirates to hunt down Aang, and find Katara late at night practicing the Water Whip. Zuko ties Katara to a tree, attempting to interrogate her for information on the Avatar, showing her that he holds her mother's betrothal necklace in his possession, the last tie that she has to her mother.
Then, Aang and Sokka are found and captured. As Zuko and the pirates are about to make the trade (the scroll for the Avatar), Sokka convinces the pirates to sell Aang by revealing to them that he's the Avatar, despite Zuko's attempts to keep it a secret from the pirates. The pirates decide that they want to sell Aang to the fire nation, but that makes Zuko mad and they get into a big fight.
During the fight Aang, Katara, and Sokka escape. Katara and Aang use waterbending to get the pirates' boat into water and sail away. But the pirates (except for their leader) steal Zuko's smaller ship and start chasing after Aang, Katara, and Sokka. After they battle the pirates, they almost fall off a waterfall, but are saved by Appa. While they're on Appa, Sokka reveals that he has the scroll. They then continue their journey to the North Pole.
