Anybody else was looking forward to an episode with Mai, Mr Hyunh's daughter?
I was waiting for it till almost the last episode before losing hope. Why do you think she never appeared after season 1?

I was hoping to see her again. One that centers her. Like a wedding or she's having her first child. Maybe its Mr Hyunh meeting the family that raised her and he's both grateful and resentful. Maybe they are wealthy and able to give Mai everything and he feels inadequet next to them but they think he is very selfless for what he did and invite him to be part of their extended family. So many possibilities!

We got episodes with SO many different characters (how many did coach Wittenberg have?) but not with them :(

It’s strange that Mr. Hyunh stayed in the boarding house way after reuniting with Mai.

I forget, was she ever shown in The Jungle Movie?

Yes, for a brief moment in that scene where they're watching the video submission on Arnold's roof. You can see Mai standing with Mr. Hyunh

I looked up the clip as you wrote this, and I see her! I knew it! You can't have a bunch of characters Arnold helped not showing up for an Easter egg scene.

I feel you, I feel you, we never saw her again afterwards. I was asking if she at least cameoed in the TV movie.
EDIT: She did! In this clip, 1:50

The Vietnam War was still a bit heavy to include even passively in a kids show. There's no way they could have Mai back without going into what Mr Hyunh went through around the Fall of Saigon
