Synopsis

Zaheer tells Korra about his plan to usher a new age of "truthful liberty" without the restraints of monarchy and nations.

In the Air Nomad caves nearly the Northern Air Temple, a captured Korra threatens to kill the members of the Red Lotus after she escapes; Zaheer reminds her that she cannot escape, equally her restraints are fabricated of platinum. He goes on to explain that, once they poison her, Korra's body will enter the Avatar State on its own to try to keep her alive; when this happens, they intend to impale her, breaking the Avatar Bike forever. He reiterates the goals of the order and states that Korra's decease volition usher the world into a new era of "truthful freedom". Nearby, unseen past anyone, Jinora'due south spiritual project watches and listens to Zaheer's plan. Distraught, she returns to her body when Zaheer has finished his explanations.

Back in the bedchamber in which the airbenders are imprisoned, Opal asks Jinora whether she found a means of escaping, to which the latter replies that they will discover a way to free themselves soon. Daw worriedly remarks that Bumi and Kya, severely injured in the battle and fall from the cliff, may not live much longer. Ikki asks if Korra will salve them, seeking reassurance from her older sister, who states but that they volition have to escape by themselves.

The Red Lotus administers a poison to Korra in an try to force her to enter the Avatar Land.

Back in Korra's cell sleeping room, Zaheer orders a member of the Red Lotus to administer the poison. Using metalbending, the earthbender applies the metallic solution to Korra's arms and legs, forcibly diffusing the substance into the Avatar'due south body. Korra's optics brainstorm to glow instantly, prompting Ming-Hua to prepare her tendrils and Ghazan to form a pool of lava underneath Korra; however, the light in her optics flickers out soon after, only to announced so disappear again. This bike happens several times; after a few moments, the lavabender expresses confusion over why Korra is erratically inbound and exiting the Avatar State; Zaheer remarks that she is resisting going into the Avatar State, but that she cannot do so for long.

Aboard Oogi, the members of Team Avatar follow Kai and Lefty in an try to observe the missing airbenders and Korra. Kai leads the group to a series of caves adorned by numerous statues of nomadic monks and nuns. Suyin reassures Tenzin and promises to find the missing airbenders, before heading into the cave with the others to search.

Equally the poison spreads through her body, Korra begins to see visions of by enemies: she watches in horror equally Zaheer transforms into Amon, who reminds her that the world no longer needs the Avatar. Ghazan transforms into Unalaq, who reiterates Amon's belief and urges Korra to surrender. Ming-Hua transforms into Vaatu; the towering spirit taunts Korra, contrasting his replenished strength with her current weakness and demanding that the young Avatar surrender to the poisonous substance.

Asami uses an electrified glove to incapacitate a sentry.

Dorsum in the bedchamber where the airbenders are held, Ikki and Meelo begin a chorus of complaints from the captives, who begin demanding water. Frustrated, a watch threatens to punish the airbenders in a similar fashion to Kya and Bumi until Pema pleads for refreshments, insisting that there are children among the captives every bit well as an baby. After convening with another guard, the man agrees and begins to hand over a water skin, only to be stunned by a gust of air current from Jinora. The blast causes the guard'southward keys to fly off, and Meelo uses airbending to toss them to Opal. Thinking he was chosen over only to exist attacked, the guard leaves while complaining that his group does not get to witness the Avatar dice. Opal immediately begins to pick the locks on her handcuffs, although she is discovered by one of the guards, who is abruptly subdued by Lin Beifong before he can try to terminate Opal. As the balance of the rescue party emerges, a cursory skirmish ensues, and the search political party apace defeats the Cherry-red Lotus guards.

Relieved over seeing her daughter, Suyin rushes to hug Opal, but she is quickly pushed back by Bolin, who is also overjoyed to have found her. Once freed by Asami, Jinora rushes to hug Kai, whom she believed to have been killed by P'Li's combustion attack. Seeing Bumi and Kya's condition, Lin orders their immediate evacuation. Tonraq instructs the grouping to exit the caves while he searches for Korra, and Bolin and Mako volunteer to accompany him in his search, but Jinora interjects that searching the caves is unnecessary: she already knows exactly where the Avatar is.

Later the poison takes over her system, Korra unwillingly enters the Avatar State.

Unable to resist the effects of the toxicant whatsoever longer, Korra finally sinks fully into the Avatar State. Zaheer immediately orders the other members of the Ruby Lotus to destroy her, but they apace discover that they have seriously underestimated the ability of the Avatar State: Ming-Hua hurls an icicle at her, but Korra melts it in mid-air with a fiery breath and retaliates by fierce the chain binding her right arm out of the wall, taking a clamper of stone out with it, and slamming it into Ming-Hua, stunning the waterbender. Ghazan launches a moving ridge of lava at her but is forced to dive for cover when Korra sends it back at him with airbending. Equally she shatters her bondage, Zaheer lures a burn down-breathing Korra out of the caves. Witnessing Zaheer flight from the cave with Korra close behind, an alarmed Tonraq sets off to help his daughter, while Bolin and Mako battle Ghazan and Ming-Hua.

After pursuing Zaheer, Korra unsuccessfully attempts to strike the airbender with a series of crushing earthbending attacks while propelling toward him. While he watches from a distance, Tenzin is reunited with his children and expresses relief over seeing his family condom. Before long after, Tonraq appears and urges the others to help Korra, who continues to battle Zaheer among the nearby towers of stone.

Dorsum in the caves, Ming-Hua defends herself from a series of Mako's firebending blasts; the two head deeper into the tunnels, while Bolin and Ghazan continue to battle each other with earthbending. Bolin exasperatedly asks his opponent why he is grinning, prompting Ghazan to respond past proverb that he is simply recalling their previous battle, before conjuring a lava cavalcade and sending information technology toward Bolin. The latter, remarking that much has changed since their previous meeting, catches the lava, splitting it in two and hurling information technology back at Ghazan. Realizing that Bolin is also a lavabender, and that he used his ability to escape the lava-filled temple, Ghazan compliments Bolin, challenging him to apply his ability to its fullest as he renews his attacks.

Exterior of the caves, Zaheer continues to dodge Korra's attacks by maneuvering through the air; he eventually manages to strike Korra, who tumbles to the ground. Enraged, the Avatar sends a massive bedrock toward Zaheer and attacks him with a series of amplified water whips, 1 of which she uses to freeze Zaheer'due south leg. As the airbender falls, Korra propels herself toward him and prepares to strike, but the poison causes her body to seize involuntarily, and she falls to the footing in pain.

The airbenders work together to create a tornado.

From the ground, Kai suggests that he use Lefty to attack Zaheer, just Lin immediately dismisses the idea, noting that Zaheer is too powerful for him. Bumi inquires how Zaheer is able to fly, prompting Tenzin to respond that Zaheer has managed to unlock an airbending ability not seen for thousands of years. Inspired, Jinora also remarks that it has been a long time since a large number of airbenders take gathered in one place, stating that they possess considerable power themselves, non unlike Zaheer. Post-obit her lead, the airbenders begin to assemble in a circle and create a tornado, which expands equally more airbenders join.

Ming-Hua'south duel with Mako takes the ii ever deeper into the caves, though the ongoing battle takes its toll on Ming-Hua'south water tendrils, which shrink with each fire nail she deflects. When she catches her foot on a protruding crystal, she falls backward, losing what little remains of her prosthesis in the process. Having caught her without h2o at last, Mako urges the waterbender to give up; unwilling to give up, Ming-Hua jumps into a hole in the world beneath them. Following her, Mako discovers that the chamber to which the passage leads is filled with water. Newly rearmed, the waterbender creates eight overlarge tentacles of water and moves to assault Mako, but he jumps abroad from her and, climbing above the level of the water, shoots a commodities of lightning into it. The lightning, conducted by the water tendrils attached to her body, electrocutes Ming-Hua, who falls with a scream and does non move.

As Ghazan begins to overwhelm Bolin, Mako joins the fight, and the two brothers forcefulness Ghazan back. Bolin urges the lavabender to surrender, but the latter states his intention to never again return to prison. Realizing that he is outnumbered, Ghazan turns the walls of the cave chamber into lava, and the resulting cave-in, which Bolin and Mako barely escape, kills Ghazan.

Zaheer attempts to suffocate Korra and end the Avatar Bicycle.

As the Avatar's physical power begins to wane nether the furnishings of the poison, Zaheer begins to suffocate Korra, but he finds himself being dragged into the airbenders' vortex of current of air. As he tries to fly out of the cyclone, Korra gathers her concluding forcefulness and, using her platinum chains to ensnare him, pulls Zaheer downwardly with her, slamming him with great force into the ground before collapsing. Lin and Suyin immediately trap Zaheer in a rock prison while Jinora and Tonraq rush to Korra's side. Tonraq begs her to hold on, but Korra, although she briefly seems to recognize him and weakly reaches upward, slumps into apparent death.

Zaheer laughs in triumph, stating that the Red Lotus has won. Jinora interjects, noting that the poisonous substance is metal. Catching on, Suyin realizes that the poison can be metalbent out of Korra's body and rushes to the Avatar'south side. The dame, later a few moments, succeeds in pulling the mercury from Korra'southward trunk. Korra, her eyes momentarily flashing as she leaves the Avatar State, regains consciousness to the relief of all except Zaheer, who begins to rant angrily that, while he has lost, his ethics cannot exist defeated. Bolin stuffs a sock in his mouth to silence him, which Opal calls "Classic Bolin".

Asami helps Korra get ready for Jinora's ceremony.

Ii weeks later the defeat of Zaheer, the group gathers on Air Temple Island to celebrate Jinora'southward mastery of airbending. In the women's dormitory, Asami prepares Korra for a formal appearance. The poison and her battle with Zaheer have left Korra an invalid; she requires the use of a wheelchair and has fallen into a state of low. Asami reminds Korra that healing from her injuries volition take time, assuring the Avatar that she volition always be available if Korra needs her. She urges Korra to try and enjoy herself for Jinora's sake, and ushers her to the courtyard, where she is welcomed warmly by Lord Zuko, her parents, and Tenzin. President Raiko also officially welcomes the Avatar back to Republic Urban center, thanking her for her efforts to defeat the Cerise Lotus. Korra simply drops her head in acknowledgement, and with Lin's earthbending to move them up the stairs, Korra heads to the temple with Ikki and Meelo.

As she departs, Raiko remarks that Korra looks visibly unwell, sparking Tonraq respond that the president would look the same if he had gone through her ordeal. Tenzin assures the others that she will heal with time, and while Raiko acknowledges the truth in Tenzin's words, he states that dealing with the dangers posed by the rising anarchy in the World Kingdom will be difficult to handle solitary. Zuko agrees with the president, calculation that while Zaheer has been imprisoned, the balance of the Blood-red Lotus, their numbers unknown, are still complimentary and in hiding. Raiko concludes that the earth needs the Avatar now more than it ever has; he expresses concern over the prolonged lack of a effigy to protect the world while Korra recovers. Listening to their words, Tenzin ponders the situation in silence.

Jinora is all-powerful every bit an airbending master past Tenzin.

Every bit the anniversary begins inside the temple, Tenzin remarks that information technology is a historic occasion, as the Air Nation is welcoming its first new airbending master in a generation. Tenzin recalls Jinora's unwavering promise in the face of adversity and Korra's involvement in saving the Air Nation, and urges the attendants to follow the Avatar'southward example of service and sacrifice. He announces that the Air Nation will reclaim its nomadic roots and roam the earth as ambassadors of balance and peace, following in the Avatar's footsteps. Unveiling her new tattoos, he anoints Jinora as an airbending main; as the crowd applauds, Korra, unseen by those around her, sheds a unmarried tear.

Additionally, both combatants in each fight were capable of flying by using airbending, like Aang and Zaheer, or firebending, like Ozai and Korra.
  • Kya attempted to heal Korra after she was poisoned, without much success.
