Leaving it so Jet did not technically die on screen, cutting around the killing blow and attempting to close the case with Toph's words were the creators' way of coming as close to depicting the death as they actually could. After discovering Zuko and Iroh are not just refugees, but firebenders, he confronts the two at Iroh’s tea shop But even without his bending, Zuko is not on. The moment was a compromise, because Nickelodeon was uncomfortable with showing a child's death on screen in a children's program. RELATED: Aang Is Avatar: The Last Airbender's Luke Skywalker
Confirmation of Jet's death would not come until the creators' commentary on "The Ember Island Players" episode, and the story behind the story was revealed. Sokka remarks it was "very unclear" whether Jet died, providing sly meta commentary on the ambiguity of the character's fate. Iroh even opens his own tea shop and Zuko begins to question his true desires. Even though Jet detects their real identity through Iroh stupidly heating his tea with firebending, the duo successfully suppresses their Fire Nation selves for the most part and finds some stability with Iroh. The Season 3 episode "The Ember Island Players" calls back to his death, as the Gaang watches the theater troupe recreate the scene. RELATED: Avatar: 10 Times The Villains Could Be Trusted. That was it for Jet in the course of the show itself, as he's never seen again, and rarely spoken about.
