* AintNoRule: That the Avatar can't compete in pro-bending, but the judges agree she at least has to restrict herself to a single element during the game to keep things fair.

* BathroomSearchExcuse: Korra sneaks into the pro-bending arena practice room and gets caught by the arena's owner, and she claims to have needed the bathroom. He doesn't believe it, however, and calls it [[LampshadeHanging "the old 'I had to pee' excuse"]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Bolin is first shown in-series in the background of an argument between Korra and Toza; at first he's [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight just passing through]], [[CrowningMomentOfFunny then]] [[AmazonChaser double-takes at Korra]], [[TheCharmer slicks back his hair]], and [[DulcineaEffect struts forward to help her out.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ObviousRulePatch: Obviously, Probending doesn't have any built-in rules for being able to bend more than one element at once, since there's only one person on the planet who can do so. This causes a little confusion when Korra joins the team as a waterbender, then bends Earth by accident. Afterward, the ref rules she can participate, so long as she ''only'' bends water.

* FanGirl: Apparently, Bolin has a ''ton'' of them.
** One of them can even be heard screaming very loudly "I love you Bolin!"

* FlexibleTourneyRules: Averted; Korra makes two fouls in about as many seconds in her first match, since no one bothered to explain the rules to her. And although [[AintNoRule technically there's no rule that says the Avatar can't compete]], they do restrict her to only waterbending.

* OffscreenTeleportation: Somehow Tenzin makes it from Air Temple Island to the Pro Bending Ring in the 30 seconds between the match resuming and Korra getting knocked into the pool below.
** He's an airbending master, and the arena is just a few kilometers away. He could probably fly there himself with fair ease.
* OhCrap: Tenzin's face shows this trope perfectly when he overhears the White Lotus listening to the radio and learns that Korra is playing in the pro-bending playoff.

* ShipTease: Bolin is obviously smitten with Korra and tries to impress her when he meets her, and there's the HeldGaze that Korra and Mako share after the match and they are (finally) on somewhat friendlier terms with each other than they were previously.
** Not to mention the ending scene with Korra and Mako staring across the bay at the other's place of abode. While they might not be thinking of each other, the way the scene is set up - soft lighting, upbeat, lilting music, and the focus on those two characters in particular - is clearly meant to foreshadow a romantic arc between them.

-->'''Mako:''' ''(to Korra)'' Don't do anything too fancy or aggressive... in fact, don't do anything - just try not to get knocked off the ring!
