I just thought about this, one good thing about Iroh being captured, is he could talk some sense into Mai (don't know if I spelled it right)??and Ty Lee.

At least into Ty Lee, I don't want the deal with Mai is, she just let the gang take the Earth King and the Beer. Back to my point, he has access to them now, and ask them why do you they led Azula control them? And tell them, they don't have to listen to her. Put that thought in their head.

They are not going to listen to him initially, and turn on Azula right away.??Put the thought in their heads.??But until now, none of the good guys ever got to know them, and tell them, what we have know all along, Azula doesn't care about them. She is a user, she is using them.

I know Ty Lee is not evil, just naive enough to think Azula is always right and is her friend, and a little afraid of her. And Mai is the type of flaky??person, that would just follow Ty Lee, because she is bored.

He could talk to them, tell them the truth about Azula, they will tell him, he is wrong, Azula is their friend. And somewhere down the road, Azula will do something, or say something, Ty Lee will flashback to the words Iroh said.
