Bolin's a hero. The movie star stopped Varrick's kidnapping attempt on President Raiko, proving his brother's innocence.

Mako and Korra were reunited, both vowing to be honest with each other. Their love is strong.

Meanwhile, Jinora's spirit is still trapped in the Spirit World, and Tonraq and his southern forces have been defeated. Now it's up to Team Avatar to stop Unalaq before Harmonic Convergence.

On Varrick's battleship. Kya was inside a cabin, attempting to heal Jinora with waterbending.

Jinora was laying down in a healing tub. Bumi was playing the flute next to Oogi.

Practicing her bending with her boyfriend and mentor watching is where we find Korra.

Korra's POV

Bolin walked up to Mako as I focused on the target in front of me.
"What's up with the coat? And where did you get that pie?," Mako asked Bolin.
"It's Varrick's ship, you never know what you're going to find. There's a whole level filled with fun- house mirrors. Of course, there's also the catgator deck. I miss that guy, he really knew how to make a long trip interesting. So, have you told Korra about how Asami's been acting towards you while she was off getting attacked by dark spirits?," Bolin asked Mako as I continued to practice my bending. How Asami's been acting towards Mako?

What did I miss?
"Will you keep it down? I'm waiting for the right moment," Mako assured Bolin. My heart dropped.

Mako and I agreed to be open with each other. Why wasn't he telling me what's been going on?

Is he still in love with Asami?
"Oh Mako, you know a wise man once told me that telling your girlfriend something hard was like ripping off a blood- sucking leech: you just have to do it fast and get it over with," Bolin reasoned.
"I hate it when you listen to me. Fine!," Mako yelled. I smiled softly.

Thank you, Bolin.
"Unalaq will be waiting for you. You'll need all of your Avatar power to stop him," Tenzin explained to me.
"I'm going to close the spirit portals, lock Vaatu in for another ten thousand years, and make Unalaq wish he'd never been born," I explained to Tenzin. I used my firebending to blast the head off of a practice dummy.

Mako's POV

The head of the practice dummy landed in front of me. I stared at Korra with worry.

How was she going to react to what I was about to tell her? Was she really ready for this fight?

Korra could seriously get hurt. I walked up to Korra.

I handed Korra some water.
"Thanks Mako," Korra said.
"Uh... Um...," I trailed off.
"Did you want something?," Korra asked me.
"Uh no, no, nothing," I lied, unable to tell Korra what I needed to tell her. Bolin smiled encouragingly at me.

I groaned at my brother.
"As soon as we reach the Southern Water Tribe, we'll blast through the blockade at the main portal. Then we can rendezvous with Tonraq and his troops, crash through the defenses around the portal, and enter the Spirit World," Tenzin explained as Kya walked up to him.
"Woah! Since when does my little brother want to crash or blast through anything?," Kya asked.
"I'll do whatever it takes to save my daughter," Tenzin reasoned. Bumi walked up to Tenzin.
"We all want to save Jinora, but I think your plan might be a tad over- aggressive, seeing as there are only seven of us and one ship," Bumi reasoned with Tenzin.
"Really? And what do you suggest?," Tenzin asked.
"An attack like this calls for strategy. I remember when I was surrounded by pirates at the Hurricane Straits. We managed to capture them all, with just a feather, two eggs and a barrel of molasses," Bumi explained. Korra and Tenzin shared amused looks.
"I don't want to hear any of your crazy stories now! This is serious!," Tenzin snapped at Bumi. Bumi frowned at Tenzin.
