I love how on seven separate occasions Zuko’s version of a “plan” was ‘break into an impenetrable/secret location and we’ll go from there’ 

These occasions were: 

The Winter Solstice (breaking into the Fire Sages temple, on Fire Nation soil, while being banished. Iroh was correct in saying his dumbass levels peaked here, but Zuko was building a ladder and was ready to go even higher.) 

The Blue Spirit (breaking into Zhao’s fortress and being very lucky that Aang hauled his ass out of danger when he got knocked out) 

The Siege of the North (in which it is a very good idea to almost drown in the process of trying to break into the heavily guarded NWT. “I would have figured something out.” Sure Zuko, sure.) 

Lake Laogai (Props to him for finding Appa in less than a day when the gaang had been searching for months, but what was your plan buddy? ”And then what?!” is a good fucking question, Iroh. It is arguable that his dumbass levels did in fact peak here.)

The Firebending Masters (”If we break into an ancient Sun Warrior temple we’ll probably learn some firebending” “Zuko I don’t think that’s how it works” “this is the best I can come up with”) 

The Boiling Rock (Technically breaking into the most heavily guarded prison was Sokka’s idea, but being the most wanted traitor in the Fire Nation should have probably given Zuko enough motivation to not go along with the loosest idea of a ‘plan’ ever to grace this show. But what was he supposed to do? Not use breaking and entering to solve a problem?) 

The Southern Raiders (In which the first part of every revenge quest involves breaking into a Fire navy communications tower and just kind of hoping you’re able to find the right guy. This is where Katara comes in with some bloodbending action to make the plan actually work and Zuko learns that Katara did in fact have the ability to murder him this whole time.) 

Step 1: Break into heavily guarded place that is so stupidly heavily guarded
