I like Jin too, and my sister and I thought something similar, that she was essentially a spy. After all, she's the one to show interest, rather suddenly, in Zuko. I'm not saying she isn't perhaps genuinely interested in him, but she could easily be a agent of the Dai Lee (or govt. in general) sent to keep tabs on the accused/suspected/alleged firebenders and to report them. After all, even if the Dai Li want Jet dismissed as a raving lunatic, a utopia-seeking government like that will not dismiss even a lunatic's accusation that someone is a firebender. After all, they want to keep everything relating to the war hush-hush. Since Zuko and Iroh became part of Jet's issue by simply being accused, there's naturally got to be a file on them, probably an agent following them...etc. Jin could easily be that agent.
I think it's definitely something to consider. It's how I'd use a character like her, and if you watch the episode with that midset (going into it, as my sister and I did, suspect of all her motives) the episode reads as if its setting Zuko up to reveal himself as a firebender. The whole lantern thing is really interesting...
Thank you for bringing this up. You explained it far better than I could. ^^
SUNDOWN (this relates to the lanterns) At this, my sister and I exchanged a glance, both of us clearly having the same first assumption... Nighttime..."a weakpoint for a firebender..." Of course, it does give reason for the lantern display, but at the time, we don't know about the lanterns.
