![]() Everyone’s searching for Varrick, whose shady wheeling and dealing is looking more essential in the effort to uncover and end Unalaq’s plans. Bolin is still warding off Eska, now acting as a spy for her father. With all the ambiguous political manipulating taking place behind Korra’s back, forcing her to chase false leads and make little progress, writer Michael Dante DiMartino draws the rest of Team Avatar back into the fold to push the episode forward. It’s the type of delicate, personal drama you can’t find on network television anymore. Ikki’s tea party with the baby sky bisons is the tip of the iceberg, Bumi’s hopeful speech to his father’s spirit, Tenzin coming to terms with his familial woes and hugging it out with his brother and sister and that last moment, a photograph of Aang, Katara, and the three kids taken decades before - tears. No one could be prepared for the amount of cute going on in these scenes. And yet it’s the most emotional material we’ve seen in Book 2. So far, their time at the Southern Airbender temple has had little to do with Korra’s civil war negotiating. Interspersed into “Civil Wars, Part 2” is a lovely tying up of knots for Tenzin, Bumi, and Kya. He forced the judge to convict her father and he was one who had him banished from the Northern Water Tribe years before. Here she gets the answers: Unalaq was pulling strings to keep Torlaq out of Korra’s life - and not just in this instance. With her Avatar State powers, there’s reason to fear that Korra is preparing to make a huge misstep. Korra’s decision to hunt down the presiding judge and interrogate him in the jaws of Naga is a rash move, even for the hot-tempered hero. It’s an open and closed case: The judge lets Senna walk free, Torlaq earns a death sentence, and Unalaq conveniently steps in to save the day and win back a little respect from his troubled student. ![]() We see her parents’ trial and every question signals conviction. “Civil Wars, Part 2” makes this message clear, then repeatedly pummels Korra under its weight. Then she met Unalaq and the rug was bended from under her feet. Trust in herself, trust in her mentors, and trust in Team Avatar were her greatest weapons. It might be shrouding an ulterior, nefarious motive, but Korra can’t know for sure. Even when Unalaq explains that he pulled strings to ensure that Tonraq, Korra’s own father, never again sees the light of day himself, he explains himself with disciplined rhetoric that makes logical sense. Without a right or wrong, Korra can’t figure out what side she’s supposed to be on or if she’s supposed to choose at all. But Book 2’s growing threats are even more terrifying for Korra because they’re morally murky. People were having their souls removed! Scary stuff. Last season, Korra’s adversary had a face - a masked face, sure, but we knew him - and each leg of the mystery had a clear cut solution. He’s doing exactly what Korra told him to do. But she resists, stunned into silence as Unalaq explains his actions. In any other circumstance, Tonraq and Senna being chained up and hauled away would snap Korra into action. With the clouds of frustration and confusion finally dissipating from above a brewing political war, life was looking a wee bit easier for Korra at the end of “Civil Wars, Part 1.” That is, until Unalaq showed up to arrest her parents for orchestrating an attempt on his life. You’ll never see your father again.” Well, that’s one way to end a mentorship. She is also welcomed back by Bumi which is quickly interrupted when Tenzin comes out to welcome the Avatar and question her about the events at Zaofu.“I’m sorry, Korra. In a clip released by Nickelodeon we see Korra's return to Republic City! She is finally reunited with Naga and the two share a sentimental moment. The episode ends with Kuvira taking control of Zaofu. The battle is seemingly over with the Avatar beaten until Jinora and Opal step in to save Korra. After taking a major beating Korra goes into the avatar state where she now has the upper hand on the battle but immediately goes out of the Avatar state when she sees her own face on Kuvira's. You would think the Avatar had the upper hand but it was apparent Kuvira is more skilled a bender. Korra then attempts to settle this drama once and for all by battling with Kuvira. In episode six "The Battle of Zaofu" Suyin and her sons attempt to take out Kuvira before she strikes and takes over the city only to be captured. ![]() ![]() And from the events that took place last episode Korra is in need of some love and a plan to stop Kuvira and her army. Friday Nickelodeon will steam a brand new episode of " The Legend of Korra." In episode seven titled " Reunion" Korra will finally make her return to Republic City to see all her close friends and teammates. ![]()
