Iroh says he’ll respect the Avatar’s instinct and the next day they get ready to set off. After she says she’s going to confront Amon, Mako says he’s staying with her. Korra says she’s tired of running and isn’t going. Iroh says he’s going to destroy the air-fleet they leave at dawn. They send a message to Bumi, the wild man commander in the United Forces, Tenzin’s brother, telling him to await their signal at Red Sand Island. Iroh says Amon might be winning but more reinforcements are coming and he needs to send a message. Korra heals him as Team Avatar explains that Amon always seems to be one step ahead. Iroh explains that he was prepared for Mecha-Tanks but not for planes. Korra saves him, and takes him back to the underground hideout. Iroh, who was as cool as anyone, was fighting planes off with Firebending but he gets blown up by a bomb, falling into the water. Korra takes a plane out as she is atop a water tower and also uses Waterbending again to redirect a torpedo, taking out another but the fleet is in peril. The planes are destroying the fleet, despite the awesome Firebender powered cannons shooting at the planes. Unfortunately it gets worse as Equalist airplanes, armed with torpedoes and bombs, start attacking the ships. Korra dives into the water as Iroh tells his benders to take out the mines.
The dock is full of mines that start taking the fleet out. Team Avatar, as well as Iroh on the ship, know something is wrong. In the morning, Team Avatar check the coast is clear and then climb up so they can see the ships coming in, as the United Forces begin to arrive. Meanwhile, at the Air Temple, Amon is ‘˜cleansing’benders of their powers. They almost share a moment but Korra cuts it off, saying she needs to sleep. It gets worse for her when she realises she’s eating trash. When they get back to their base, Asami is clearly jealous but Mako brushes it off.
Korra wants to go and knock some heads but Mako tells her they have to wait for Iroh. It turns out to be Korra and Mako, who get into the sewers. Mr Sato is talking at a rally for Equalists, saying that they must fight against the United Forces, who are on their way. Tinged with a sadness that I have to wait till 2013 (earliest estimates) for Book 2, the two part season finale was bloody fantastic.Įpisode 11, Skeletons in the Closet, started by showing Amon and his Equalists in charge of Republic City he even put an Amon mask on the statue of Aang. The show that started with so much promise and exceeded it every episode has finished its first season. The Legend of Korra, season finale words that have come around all too soon.
