I've forgotten how much I love that episode.

Oh me TOO. Katara's bending poses have never been more amazing (the finale finish was great but otherwise she just ran around) or more eloquently drawn with the arms and hands. And it was such a fantastic development point for her character, too.

The show and a lot of the fandom focuses often on how much good comes out of the war's end and their heroic journey--friends and loves they found, the peace they won, the skills and confidence they learned. But there were also profound costs to these guys. Sokka lost Yue. Katara lost the knowledge of innocence and purity in her self and her capabilities. Zuko lost his father and sister.

I don't know if Toph or Aang lost anything permanent, though.
