I chose to do a summary on the episode Runaway in Avatar the Last Airbender because it’s one of my favourite episodes in book 3 fire. I know that it should be something like one of the parts in the Sozin’s comet since it’s the last few episodes, but for some reason I really like this episode maybe because it’s about Toph and she’s my favourite character.
Avatar: the last Airbender book 3 The Runaway synopsis
At the start of the episode it starts off with Katara and Toph screaming and fighting with each other. But it was actually a scam to get money: Toph is running to a statue in Fire Fountain City, trying to escape
from someone. But she’s captured, and screams at Katara, saying that she betrayed her.

Toph accidentally hits Katara with a rock, the two starts battling each other. The fight between Toph and Katara continues with them wrestling in mud. While Katara goes off to clean up, Toph suggests to the boys that they should go and have some fun. Aang, Sokka and Toph go into town with only with little money.
However, Toph suggests they get more from a gambling game below them. She knows through her Earth bending that The Dealer is cheating others. She uses her bending to cheat back, earning them forty silver pieces. When they arrive back at camp, Katara advises them not to do it anymore. However, even when Aang makes an Avatar promise not to do so, they don't listen. Later on, Toph cheats at a dice-like game and a test-your-strength game, winning even more money.

Katara continues to think these con jobs are dangerous. Toph tells Katara to quit acting like everyone's mother. This is when Katara realises Toph is making a fuss because she secretly misses her own parents, Toph angrily walks off.
After going into town to buy a Messenger Hawk, (Hawky) Sokka finds a wanted poster for “The Runaway” (a.k.a. Toph). After Sokka reads it aloud, Toph is delighted at the nickname and how much money is being offered for her return.
Katara discovers the wanted poster and has an argument with Toph, where Toph angrily replied that Katara is not her mother and should not tell her what to do. The two of them from then on ignore each other. Sokka tries to write an apology message pretending to be Toph sent by Hawky to Katara but she easily finds out because Toph can't write. He later t
alks to Toph to try to mend the rift between her and Katara. As they discuss how Katara's motherly instincts can also be helpful and nurturing, Katara (who is bathing in the water under the cliff side where they sit to chat) listens to them. Sokka reveals how Katara took on the role of their mother after her death, so much so that, to Sokka she eventually replaced the face of their mother. Toph admits that she appreciates Katara's motherly nature, and believes Katara cares for her more than her real mother ever did.

The group is very surprised (especially Aang and Sokka, who faint while foaming at the mouth), but Katara is insistent that she can show her fun side.
Combustion Man's chi is blocked
After Katara fakes handing Toph in to the authorities, the entire scenario turns out to be a trap set by Combustion Man. Katara and Toph are placed in a prison made of wood, material that neither of them can bend. As Aang and Sokka battle Combustion Man, Toph and Katara try to think of a way to escape the cage. Katara suggests that Toph use her meteor bracelet to make a saw, until Toph says she left it at camp. Katara then jumps up and starts to run in place. When Toph asks what she is doing, Katara replies, "I'm making my own water!" She then Waterbends her own sweat to escape the prison, earning Toph's praise. Katara and Toph race to help Aang, arriving just in time to save him from. Toph accidentally manages to hit Combustion Man on his forehead tattoo with a stone, knocking him back. He gets up and attempts to launch another explosion in the group's direction, only to find his chi blocked. The air a
round him explodes and the group escapes. While running away, Sokka renames their opponent Combustion Man.
At the end, Toph realizes she does not hate her parents after all. With Katara acting as a scribe, she writes down a heart-felt message for her parents that gets delivered using Hawky. The episode ends with Sokka returning and asking where Hawky is, not knowing that the girls used him.
