Summary: ''Korra tries to remain neutral as tensions flare between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes.''
to:
The third episode of ''Book Two'' of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''.
Unalaq's troops from the north arrive in full force, creating a blockade that confines all southerners to the south. In the streets, Unalaq's forces aggressively force people to return to their homes. The Northern chief declares that his men are here to guard the spirit portal, and that if Korra opens the portal at the North Pole, then both humans and spirits can use the portals to travel between the
At the Southern Air Temple, Tenzin is surprised to learn that Kya and Bumi took no part in his rose-tinted memories of family vacations with Aang. It becomes clear that Aang spent much more time with Tenzin than his two older children. Pema announces that Ikki is missing, and Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi set out to find her, bickering all the way. During the search, Kya informs Tenzin that she and Bumi have felt neglected by Aang, and that contrary to Tenzin's belief, they did not have a perfect childhood, and Tenzin storms off on his own to end the conversation.
Tonraq and Senna are hosting a meeting of many southerners in their home. Though Tonraq agrees that his brother's actions are wrong, he does not take an active part in the conversation on what to do about it. Varrick, meanwhile, begins pumping up the prospect of an outbreak of civil war, an idea many southerners support, feeling their culture and lives are being oppressed. Korra attempts to speak in favor of her uncle, but Tonraq, knowing she will get nowhere with this audience, asks her to speak to him herself.
After another round of abuse from his girlfriend, Bolin learns that Eska plans to stay in the south to be with Bolin. Mako tries his best to counsel his terrified brother, and Bolin concedes that breaking up with Eska is the best course of action.
Korra confronts Unalaq, telling him of the southerners' resentment towards his oppressive occupation. Unalaq waves it off, claiming that a civil war would further upset the balance of the tribes and the world. He encourages her to resolve it peacefully, but as the Avatar, she must remain neutral. Her first test comes when outside, a squad of northern troops nearly attack a group of southern children. A standoff ensues between the soldiers and southern adults, and Korra's attempts to defuse the situation result in the southerners branding her a traitor. Tonraq arrives on the scene and successfully pacifies the standoff, to Korra's resentment.
Bumi tells a clearly exaggerated story from his time in the United Forces, and ends up injuring himself trying to descend a waterfall (while Tenzin and Kya descend harmlessly with their bending). The siblings get into an argument over Bumi's lack of maturity, Tenzin's vacations with Aang, and Kya's roaming the earth until Aang's death (after which she moved in with Katara to ensure she wouldn't be alone). Tenzin once again storms off to look for Ikki at the temple by himself.
Korra has a tense conversation with her mother. Korra is livid that Tonraq's past was kept secret from her by her parents, who only wanted to have a quiet, normal life after Tonraq's banishment until Korra was revealed to be the Avatar. Senna also says that Korra can't be expected to resolve the Water
Korra returns home and forgives her parents, and apologizes for her behavior. Tonraq accepts, and promises that he would never attack his brother despite their differences. Unalaq, however, is not quite as forgiving, as he interrupts the scene to arrest Korra's parents for treason.
