The story
In the wake of the devastating war against the RDA and the loss of their eldest son, Jake Sully and Neytiri face a new threat on Pandora: the Ash People, a violent and power-hungry Na'vi tribe led by the ruthless Varang. Jake's family must fight for their survival and the future of Pandora in a conflict that pushes them to their emotional and physical limits.
Avatar: Fire and Ash recap
The Sullys grieve Neteyam among the Metkayina. When Spider's breathing mask fails, Kiri fills his lungs with mycelia from Eywa, and he can breathe Pandora's air without it. Jake decides Spider must go back to the humans, but the convoy carrying him is attacked by the Mangkwan, the Ash People, a clan who rejected Eywa, led by the fierce Varang. Quaritch captures Jake and Spider and makes an alliance with Varang, giving her clan guns and flamethrowers; the two become lovers. The RDA, learning of Spider's ability, wants to use him to let humans breathe on Pandora. Jake is held for execution and freed, and he cannot bring himself to kill Spider to keep the secret. Neytiri infiltrates the RDA base, delivers Ronal's baby when Ronal dies in childbirth, and is captured. Lo'ak persuades the tulkun to give up their pacifism. Jake rebonds with Toruk and rallies the clans.
Avatar: Fire and Ash ending explained
The Na'vi and the tulkun ambush the RDA fleet. Kiri finally reaches Eywa and asks for help, and Pandora's creatures attack the remaining RDA forces. Kiri drives off Varang before she can kill Neytiri. Jake and Quaritch fight in a magnetic storm, and when Spider falls from a floating rock, they work together to save him. As Neytiri and the children arrive, Quaritch throws himself off the rock. Spider meets the dead Na'vi in the spirit trees, and Kiri and Grace welcome him as one of the people.
