Other mistake: When Aang is reading the letter from The Guru, as Sokka says, "What's a guru? Some kind of poisonous blowfish?" his right eye loses its white colour three times during the shot. (00:18:19)
Continuity mistake: When Ghashiun orders the sandbenders to ransack Appa's saddle, Appa's eyes are closed. In the next shot, they are open, then go back to closed in the following shot. (00:02:23)
Continuity mistake: After Meng gives Aang the tray of food and Sokka takes it from him, Aunt Wu shows up, and it shows a shot facing her front. In this shot, Katara's back braid is missing; then it reappears a moment later. (00:07:05)
Chosen answer: Toph had Katara use it to send a letter to her parents. It never returned.
