History Heartwarming / TheLegendofKorra

* If you look closely, you can briefly see Ikki hugging Rohan (who can now walk) before she sets off to find Korra.

* Just this post of the creator's official Tumblr:

** Korra apologizing for being gone for so long and, after an entire season of Toph, Zaheer, everyone telling Korra to stop whining over her pain and get over it, Asami says the one thing Korra must have been waiting to hear someone say for three years: "You don't have to apologize for anything." Asami finally assures Korra that all the pain she felt and how much her torture made her suffer is not her fault. Korra was right -- [[CallBack Asami did understand]].

*** This also brings Iroh's words about [[http://sato-mobile.tumblr.com/post/115548728489/korrasamicaps-how-can-you-two-marry-each-other love]] during the second season to new light.

** While the Makorra fans where heartbroken about their ship not becoming canon again and some have been less then polite, many Makorra fans have been immensely respectful to Korrasami shippers and in some reaction videos have even gone out of their way to congratulate Korrasami fans for having their ship win. It's nice to see ShipToShipCombat end with [[GracefulLoser many of the "losing" group backing down gracefully]].

*** You can see how Asami's words to [[http://sato-mobile.tumblr.com/post/113738700539/avatarparallels-asamis-words-to-mako-echoing Mako regarding his relationship with Korra eventually parallel her own relationship with Korra]] which makes it both HeartwarmingInHindsight and HilariousInHindsight.

* Korrasami becoming canon is now seen as a GenreTurningPoint for WesternAnimation, as since the show's ending, several other animated shows have begun explicitly introducing or establishing characters as LGBT; among them ''[[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime]]''.

** In light of the series finally ''ALL'' of Korra and Asami's scenes together in this episode takes on a whole new meaning when you realize that [[spoiler: this is the when Korra and Asami started to show signs that they started to have romantic feelings for each other. Making Korra's line of "''Never had a Girlfriend to hang out with and talk to before,''" take on a whole new meaning in hindsight.]]

* Wing cheerfully tapping Bolin's cheek. Remember that the last previous interactions between the twins and him were rather hostile (their frustration at his failure to pick up metal bending, then seeing him working with Kuvira). Now, they like him enough to seemingly flirt with him.
* Toph greeting Opal warmly and receiving her hug without her typical crankiness and showing whatever her flaws as a mother, she is a loving grandmother.

* When Bolin asks Toph about metalbending, she insists that even people like him could learn with the proper instruction. Then when he tells her that he learned to lavabend, she compliments him for his talent, to which Bolin reacts ecstatically.

* Zhu Li and Varrick are reunited... [[MoodWhiplash only for him to mess it up]].
** Her speech to him beforehand is at least very sweet.

* The first thing Kuvira does when Baatar is captured is to ask how he is. But [[KickTheMoralityPet what]] [[KnightTemplar she]] does later...
** It's particularly dark and tragic, but [[spoiler:Kuvira's expressions and demeanor when she opens fire on Baatar's location actually do count as one. Kuvira's voice wavers and almost cracks when she tells her fiance that she loves him. Though it's subtle, and her [[TheStoic stoic demeanor]] soon regain the overhand, it remains the most distraught we've ever seen her. She ''cares'' about him - but she cares more about the Empire.]]

* Varrick proposing to Zhu Li; not with a Water Tribe betrothal necklace but with a jade ring, clearly respecting her culture.
** Heck, just him realizing how much they care for each other. ObliviousToLove no more!
** Zhu Li even says she's been dreaming of this day.
** The story Varrick tells [[ItMakesSenseInContext about his ostrich horse]] earlier in the episode. Even though Zhu Li interrupts him on account of the robot army and the fact that it sounds like a NonSequitur, it's clear what Varrick was winding up to when he says that he took the ostrich horse for granted - he wanted to apologize to Zhu Li that he took her for granted.

-->'''Varrick:''' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming I need to attach this ring to your finger.]] Zhu Li Moon... will you do the thing for the rest of our lives?

* Asami and Hiroshi reconciling. [[spoiler: Too bad Hiroshi made a HeroicSacrifice in order to allow Korra and the others a chance to take down the Colossus]].

* Wu's second song to the badgermoles is about Grandma Yin, telling her she's sweet and thanking her for letting him stay in her home when he was in hiding.
** Wu in general throughout this episode. Two episodes ago, he freely admitted that he only made the suggestion to evacuate because he wanted to impress Korra. But two episodes later, he sincerely wants to help the people of Republic City, calming them down whenever they start to panic and coming up with a clever idea to use badgermoles to tunnel out of the city. He even seemingly performs a TakeMeInstead when they are cornered by Kuvira's goons (though it was a ploy to distract them so the badgermoles could attack). It's a far cry from the RoyalBrat we met in the outset of the season.

* Not only did Korra save Kuvira's life after she tried to kill her multiple times, but she sat down and reached out to her in the Spirit World, finding common ground and peace, [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath thus bringing the conflict to a peaceful end]]. It shows just how far Korra's come after all these years.

** Varrick actually crying tears of joy as he tells Zhu Li "You just make me so dang happy!"

** In the same dialogue, [[spoiler: Asami]] also says, to [[spoiler: Korra]], "I'm just so happy you're here now! I don't think I could've handled [[ILetGwenStacyDie losing you]] and [[spoiler: my father]] in the same day," illustrating just how much [[spoiler: Asami]] loves [[spoiler: Korra]] (and hinting that losing [[spoiler: Korra]] would have [[spoiler: [[BreakTheCutie pushed Asami]]]] [[note]][[TheWoobie Who, up 'til then, had replaced Sokka as the Avatar Universe's Punching Bag]], [[AngstWhatAngst yet only once let it get to her]][[/note]] over the DespairEventHorizon).
** The part of that conversation that made me sigh with delight when I heard it was Korra apologizing for being gone for so long and, after an entire season of Toph, Zaheer, everyone telling Korra to stop whining over her pain and get over it, Asami says the one thing Korra must have been waiting to hear someone say for three years: "You don't have to apologize for anything." Asami finally assures Korra that all the pain she felt and how much her torture made her suffer is not her fault. Korra was right -- [[CallBack Asami did understand]].

** The scene ends with them turning to face each other, holding hands and [[HeldGaze gazing at one another]].
*** The scene is also a [[MythologyGag call-back to the final scene of The Legend of Aang, with Aang and Katara]], just to further seal the deal.
** And, for added bonus, the camera work during that scene makes it look like they're ascending an altar to get married. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Now whom did we see celebrating their wedding just a few scenes before...?]]

* Lin Beifong rescuing her officers. For such a {{Badass}} IronLady, it's really nice to see how much she cares for them, going so far as to sneak into the Equalist base just for them (as well as look for Korra). The way she spoke to her officers was probably the softest we have seen speak, and she felt very bad that Amon de-bended them. She truly is [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]].
** On a similar note, the [[CrowningMomentOfFunny part where Lin zips up Bolin's zipper]] is heartwarming as well as a funny moment. Not only does Lin act like a typical mother, but Bolin acts like a typical son. This is more heartwarming when you think about how Bolin hasn't truly had a maternal figure since he was six years old.

** And his intended final words: "I will see you on the other side, Zhu Li."

** More specifically she does so to show that she would not put her soldiers through anything she herself wouldn't go through. Whether it's playing the crowd or genuine [[AFatherToHisMen Mother To Her Men]] feelings, it's an admirable declaration.
** Also just the mere fact she was willing to challenge Korra to a duel. She didn't ''have'' to do that. She had captured Suyin and her sons. She could have simply marched in to Zaofu, but instead she chose to settle this fairly. It is quite endearing to see a [[NobleDemon villain with a sense of honor]].

* The fact that Zhu Li was so in tune with Varrick that she knew what he was asking her to do with no explanation shows just how close they really were.

* The reunion scenes.

* Prince Wu [[spoiler: kisses Mako's grandma hand and thanks her, after the latter agrees to let him stay in her house]].
** Earlier, [[spoiler: After the gang rescue Prince Wu from his kidnappers]], Wu is genuinely grateful to the gang, particularly Mako. Keep in mind that the reason he [[spoiler:got kidnapped]] in the first place was because Mako didn't follow him into the bathroom for once. But rather than be rightfully angry at him, he just thanks him for [[spoiler:saving his life]]. RoyalBrat he may be, but never let it be said he does not care for others.
** Also, even when he's comically kept out of the group hug, he's still thankful for what he can get, saying "you're the best friends a guy could have!"
* Asami has been letting Mako and Bolin's family live in the Sato estate for the past three years.

* Asami deciding to rebuild her relationship with her father as much as she can, even if she can't yet bring herself to forgive him. She even brings a Pai Sho set to play with him, which he happily obliges to.

* During the confrontation between Suyin's family and Kuvira and Baatar Jr., Baatar Sr. asks his son to come back to Zaofu, only to be rejected. Even though one parent (Suyin) is livid with their son's decision, Baatar Sr. still genuinely loves his son and wants him to come home.

* Varrick actually growing a conscience when he realizes how dangerous the [[spoiler:spirit technology]] could be.
** Later when Bolin shows up, Varrick believes his conscience has returned. Yes, Bolin has stuck with his mad scientist buddy for so long, that he is Varrick's Conscience even when he's not there!
** Earlier, Varrick rescues Zhu Li from falling off the train after an experiment goes awry, making it the first time he shows genuine concern about someone else. Granted, he ruins the moment by ordering her to clean up the mess, but the fact that he willingly rescued her without hesitation speaks volumes.
* Bolin believes so fervently in bringing stability and peace to the Earth Kingdom, and is trying to be as diplomatic as possible. He even tries to be chummy with Wei and Wing like they used to be.

** How about just the fact that Bopal have been a couple for ''three years''. Considering how at the Book 2 finale, Bolin commented to Eska that he really wasn't a big fan of long distance relationships. This proves that Bolin's feelings for Opal are so strong and powerful that he decided to commit to a long distance relationship. It also shows a healthy amount of CharacterDevelopment.

* Mako and Lin's evolved relationship. Lin, of all people, was nervous to tell Mako that Prince Wu wants him to come to Ba Sing Se with him. Even tried to persuade Raiko to change his mind. It looks like that the time-skip allowed these two to become great friends.
* Kai and Jinora are now in a relationship.
** Bear in mind, Kai and Jinora not just being in a relationship, not just in a teenagers in a relationship for the last three years, but being teenagers in a relationship for the last three years that's ''long-distance'' ([[MundaneUtility barring using Astral Projection to see each other]]) ''and'' strained by the demands peacekeeping yet it's "''fine''" as in drama-free. Kudos.

* Asami saying that she can't wait to see Korra again. Just the way she says it & her expiration just melts your heart, just from that one scene highlights how much she cares for Korra.
** This [[FridgeBrilliance gets better]] when you remember that [[spoiler: Asami has already read the letter that Korra sent her, in which she confided about her fears about being unable to fully recover.]]

** Even ''before'' Korra leaves for the Southern Water Tribe is a CMOH on Asami's part. Bear in mind, it's the best place in the world to get healed up, [[BadAssNormal Asami]] has no healing abilities (beyond [[ThePowerOfFriendship moral support]]) and ''has'' a [[MegaCorp business]] to run so it's not like she isn't busy yet would happily put it ''all'' aside just to be there for Korra.

* Korra's growing determination to get better. We see her joy at simply being able to move her big toe, her enthusiasm to show Tenzin how much she's improved, and even when she's faced with the reality that she's not recovered yet, she [[{{Determinator}} still doesn't give up]]. The previous episode suggested that Korra had left the Southern Tribe in a bad state, having left Naga behind and lied to her parents. But now we see that she had intended and still means to work things out for herself. Given the alternatives that had been speculated, this is both heartwarming and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome.]]

** That one becomes even more heartwarming in hindsight: [[spoiler: In the episode "The Avatar and the Fire Lord" of the previous series, a visibly worried Toph wondered if friendships could last more than one lifetime, before her friends started holding her hands to reassure her. Now Korra, Aang's reincarnation, has met Toph so yes, friendships do transcend lifetimes]].

* Kuvira ruins it [[spoiler: by announcing her plans for the Earth Empire]], but the fact that Prince Wu is completely grateful for everything she has done speaks volumes.
* Kuvira's a real [[IronLady hardass]], but when Bolin is very concerned about her [[spoiler: Earth Empire]] plans, she takes him aside, talks to him personally, and tells him she's just engaging in tough rhetoric, she wants to be taken seriously so conflict can be avoided. [[spoiler: [[BlatantLies She's completely lying, as shown when Suyin talks to her]]]] but the fact that she does so to Bolin is darkly touching.

* Toph remarking that, through her connection to the earth, she can see Suyin or Lin whenever she wants. It's almost like she's their fairy godmother.\\
Except she can't fly or have magic other than her spirit friends and earth-based kung fu magic.
* Toph is abrasive, cynical and more than happy to toss Korra around like a ragdoll all day, but she does want to help the Avatar once again, even though she has to justify it for the sake of her pride.

* Raiko shows some concern for Korra's well being when he learns she's gone missing, especially heartwarming considering he seemed more concerned about the Red Lotus than Korra in the Book 3 finale.

* Meelo and Tuyen's [[ToyShip interaction/friendship]] is just adorable. Especially since we rarely get to see Meelo that vulnerable.

** Meelo meets Toph and declares her "cranky and old". Toph's response? "I like this one!"

* Korra is finally allowed to hug Toph after she [[spoiler: manages to take the poison from her body. Toph even says that she is so proud of her]].
* The fact that Toph [[VillainHasAPoint acknowledged that none of the villains were actually wrong]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist just misguided]].

* Even though Korra failed to stop a few shop lifters the sushi cook ''still'' put Korra's awkward picture up on the wall next to Aang's. When he is asked about Korra he says that he is worried for her and hopes that she is alright. A good way of showing that despite that Korra couldn't stop a few thugs he still reveres her as the Avatar while also recognizing that she is a human being who has been hurt.
* Pema apparently packed encouraging notes into the food bag for her kids because of course she did.

* It should be noted that the Book Four finale is the only one [[http://fuzunga.tumblr.com/post/106217554970/rewatching-the-legend-of-korra-when-i-realized-the Korra does]] [[http://sato-mobile.tumblr.com/post/120227010835/fuzunga-rewatching-the-legend-of-korra-when-i not cry.]] Instead, she finds happiness with [[spoiler:Asami]].

* Jinora the big sister. There are several small but very heartwarming moments throughout the episode. After Tenzin reassures the family about Korra, Jinora lays Meelo's head in her lap and smiles. When the Equalist airship is approaching and Lin tells the kids to get inside, Jinora takes Ikki and Meelo by the hands and leads them away. And when the family is escaping on Oogi, Jinora and Ikki are holding onto each other.

* In addition to the above entry, in the same scene we have the Southern rebels pledging their loyalty to Tonraq, calling him 'Chief', and Korra agreeing with them and telling her father that she'll be proud to fight alongside him against Unalaq. And that's straight after Tonraq declares that it's time for him to put Unalaq in his place and stop running from his past.

* When Varrick suggests that Asami smuggle weapons to the Southern Water Tribe to help fight against the Northern Water Tribe, Asami agrees without hesitation as this will both help Korra and to save her company from bankruptcy. While this may seem like a minor moment in the episode it does show how far Asami is willing to go to help Korra, by aiding in a war that the United Republic has stated that it wants nothing to do with, and while this will help save her company Asami is smart enough to know that if she is caught she will not only loss her company but will likely be arrested as well. And yet she still goes through with it to help her friend.

** Iroh also said that Zuko and Aang were very close friends until the latter's death. And now Zuko is helping Korra. Some friendships really can transcend lifetimes.

** Look at how Korra lightens up when Asami mentions that she should try have a good time for ''Jinora's sake''. And Korra decides to. It should be reiterated: Korra has went through the most traumatic moment in her life. She has nightmares and is bound to a wheelchair. It's not surprising if she doesn't feel like celebrating. But, the moment Asami said "for Jinora's sake", Korra's eyes widen. And she immediately decides to ''try'' to have a good time for Jinora and her anointment as an airbending master. It doesn't matter what kind of hardships Korra's been through; she would do ''anything'' for the airbabies, who she sees as siblings.

* Mako and Lin's evolved relationship. Lin, of all people, was nervous to tell Mako that Prince Wu wants him to come to Ba Sing Se with him. And even tried to persuade Raiko to change his mind. It looks like that the time-skip allowed these two to become great friends.

** That one becomes even more heartwarming in hindsight: [[spoiler: In the episode "The Avatar and the Fire Lord" of the previous series, a visibly worried Toph wondered if friendships could last more than one lifetime, before her friends started holding her hands to reassure her. And now Korra, Aang's reincarnation, has met Toph so yes, friendships do transcend lifetimes]].

* Even though Korra failed to stop a few shop lifters the sushi cook ''still'' put Korra's awkward picture up on the wall next to Aang's. And when he is asked about Korra he says that he is worried for her and hopes that she is alright. A good way of showing that despite that Korra couldn't stop a few thugs he still reveres her as the Avatar while also recognizing that she is a human being who has been hurt.

* After Bolin [[spoiler: [[ShutUpHannibal tells Varrick that he isn't Zhu Li]], Varrick understands... and asks Bolin to ride on him]]!

* Lin and Su's fight together with Wei and Wing. And Toph later comes to save them.

* Mako and Bolin's hug when Mako is about to overload the power source. And then Bolin coming back to save him.

* In the aftermath of the show's ending, fanfic writers naturally went nuts getting to have their Korrasami stories backed up by canon. And by far the most common kind of story about the pairing has ''every single character'' be perfectly fine with their relationship, with stories featuring bitter exes or homophobes a very rare sight.

** look at how Korra lightens up when Asami mentions that she should try have a good time for ''Jinora's sake''. And Korra decides to. It should be reiterated: Korra has went through the most traumatic moment in her life. She has nightmares and is bound to a wheelchair. It's not surprising if she doesn't feel like celebrating. But, the moment Asami said "for Jinora's sake", Korra's eyes widen. And she immediately decides to ''try'' to have a good time for Jinora and her anointment as an airbending master. It doesn't matter what kind of hardships Korra's been through; she would do ''anything'' for the airbabies, who she sees as siblings.

* Bolin mubling Opal's name in his sleep, along with kale. The latter is reminiscent of Opal's comment to Bolin that they'll "always have kale". Romantic feeding.

* Varrick helping the Krew figure things out.
** Until he starts bragging about framing Mako, to his face.
* Bolin mubling Opal's name in his sleep, along with kale.
** The latter is reminiscent of Opal's comment to Bolin that they'll "always have kale".

** Even before that, Korra consistently showed sympathy toward Asami, never angry or suspicious toward her even when [[spoiler: rightfully accusing her father and having Asami vehemently defending him.]]

** [[spoiler:The final tear that he sheds before that moment. So much humanity from both of the characters made it one of the most touching and heartwrenching scenes of the series, even though the two characters had committed so many horrible acts.]]

** And before that, Pema's advice on how to deal with his students. They may be airbender volunteers, but they're also people away from their homes and lives (something she experienced when becoming an Air Acolyte); it'll take awhile to adjust, and he just needs to be patient with them. Tenzin briefly mentions that he knows how Korra must feel when she listens to him, but thanks her, even giving her a little kiss.

** And before that, Lin is shielding Su from the flying debris caused by P'Li's blasts. [[BigBrotherInstinct Big sister instinct]] indeed.

** And before that, look at how Korra lightens up when Asami mentions that she should try have a good time for ''Jinora's sake''. And Korra decides to.
*** It should be reiterated: Korra has went through the most traumatic moment in her life. She has nightmares and is bound to a wheelchair. It's not surprising if she doesn't feel like celebrating. But, the moment Asami said "for Jinora's sake", Korra's eyes widen. And she immediately decides to ''try'' to have a good time for Jinora and her anointment as an airbending master. It doesn't matter what kind of hardships Korra's been through; she would do ''anything'' for the airbabies, who she sees as siblings.

** Before that, Bolin decides to save Zhu Li and rushes to save her. Opal goes after him.

*** That's Aubrey Plaza, who plays April on ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. She's very good at going from uncaring to caring and back on that show.

* Mako and Bolin following Korra into the spirit world.

* While in the Fog of Lost Souls, Tenzin begins to question himself because of the weight of the world on his shoulders and wonders if he will fail. Avatar Aang appears and Tenzin tells his father that he failed him and that he will never be like him. Aang then agrees to Tenzin that he will never be like him, and Aang adds that he shouldn't be. Aang then tells his son that [[BeYourself he should be his own man]], to which Tenzin agrees to this and because of his declaration, he has cleared the fog, [[spoiler: finding his daughter]]. Tenzin then takes his family out of the fog.
** It's small, but when [[spoiler:Zhao]] takes a hold of Tenzin ranting about he's going to capture him before Tenzin can pull him off Bumi grabs [[spoiler:Zhao]] off of his brother and Kya waterbends him away. It's a nice small sign that even after all the grief the three of them give each other they are still family who love and protect each other.
** Just the fact that Aang's last appearance has him helping to [[spoiler:save his granddaughter.]]

* Bolin and Eska. Amazing what Armageddon can do to some people...

* [[spoiler:Jinora pulling a BigDamnHeroes and helping Korra beat the Dark Avatar, then reawakening in her physical body with her grandmother and Asami.]]

* Raava willingly fusing back with Korra again before the Harmonic Convergence ended.

* Bolin giving his brother a (probably much needed) hug after he and Korra broke up for real.

*** The same could be said about Bolin and Eska. Even with a rough start and end, they really do care about each other and know that their relationship wont work.
*** Eska's [[NotSoStoic voice actually catches]] when she's saying goodbye to Bolin. If ever there was a doubt she felt genuine affection for him, it's gone now.

** Keep in mind, this is ''after'' they break up, and, despite Korra not remembering it, Mako ''does''. His act of affection towards Korra seemed less like a boyfriend thing, and more like an "I'm so proud of you", brotherly thing.
*** Becomes even more {{Heartwarming in Hindsight}} because, by the end of the series, Mako and Korra are basically brother and sister.

* Asami and Mako's trip through the park at night. There's just something so sweet about her telling him that she feels safe with him, [[TearJerker just as he feels safe with his father's scarf]].

* Korra telling Naga "Don't worry, girl, I'll be all right" before going to fight Tarrlok, and Naga nuzzling her. Also a tearjerker, considering the end of the episode.

* The moment when the crowd being rounded up by Tarrlok and the police force beg Korra for help. It's a horrible situation, crossing into TearJerker, but at the same time, despite Tarrlok's actions validating everything that Amon and the Equalists have been saying about bender oppression, ordinary people still have faith in the Avatar to stand up for ''all'' people, which is exactly what she proceeds to do.

* As soon as Tenzin gets home from finding Korra, he rushes to his wife and children, who are all sleeping together. Turns out they stayed up the whole night to try to catch him once he got home. The scene gets even more aww-worthy when Tenzin scoops up Ikki into his arms and hugs her, telling everyone that everything's going to be alright. [[spoiler:Too bad it isn't. Ikki herself lampshading this mere moments after turns it into a TearJerker]]

* Jinora's look of awe and delight when she sees the statue of Aang. This can cross into TearJerker territory, since Aang died before he got to meet any of his grandchildren.

* Kya dropped everything to be with and support Katara after Aang died. Just as it is in real life, individuals who do this for their parents (especially if they seek to satisfy their own wanderlust) sacrifice a lot, and often become embittered about this choice at it robs them of their autonomy and of the many great chances they could have had in life. But Kya is proud of her choice and has even decided to settle down despite what she may have yearned for her own life. She really loves her mother dearly and has a very close connection with her... [[TearJerker especially when one considers Aang's favouritism for his only Airbender son over his other two children.]]

** [[TearJerker Except Raava won't be with him through all of Wan's lifetimes]] [[FridgeHorror because their link was severed during Korra's battle with Vaatu and Unalaq.]]

* Despite the scene verging sharply into a {{Tearjerker}}, there's a moment when Opal tries to reach out to her aunt, and mentions Toph used to tell her "great things" about Lin. Hardly the action of someone who wasn't impressed, as Suyin put it.

** Hiroshi brings it into TearJerker territory for Asami when he states even though he's fully aware that she will never forgive him (and doesn't expect her to), he admits that he's very proud of the woman she's becomes over the years and considers her "the greatest thing he's ever created".

* It's a TearJerker as well, but Bolin believes so fervently in bringing stability and peace to the Earth Kingdom, and is trying to be as diplomatic as possible. He even tries to be chummy with Wei and Wing like they used to be.

* When Bolin and Varrick barge into the meeting, Opal and Mako express a mild disgust at seeing him again after his previous choices of allegiance. Korra? She says nothing and just has an elated happy grin.

* Fire Lord Izumi's refusal to [[spoiler: participate in a preemptive strike on Kuvira proposed by Raiko]] due to the harsh fact that the Fire Nation has been engaged in war for ''over a century'', and she's not wrong. Not only that, she explicitly states that she'll only discharge her soldiers into combat as a last resort.

* Senna telling Tonraq to calm down when he is visibly upset at the arrival of the Northern Water Tribe ship.
