Legend Of Korra Episode 10 Synopsis, Review and Summary

After her escape from Tarrlok's prison, Korra is taken to Air Temple Island to rest. She is seen sleeping peacefully in her bed, with Mako sitting next to her. Asami is seen looking at them, disheartened at Mako's apparent attraction to Korra.

Korra eats lunch with Tenzin's family and her friends that day. She thanks Pema for the food, and says she is feeling much better and like her old self again. Pema and Asami clean up the table and go to the kitchen, while Tenzin politely interrupts Korra and asks her what happened to Tarrlok and Amon. Korra tells both Lin Beifong and Tenzin that Tarrlok is actually Yakone's son, and recounts that Amon showed up out of nowhere to take away Tarrlok's bending, and that he nearly captured her. Lin notes that Tarrlok's bloodbending ability makes sense now, but she and Tenzin are shocked by Amon's audacious decision to capture a council member and take away his bending.

In the kitchen, Asami and Pema are shown doing the dishes when Mako comes in asking for hot water to make tea for Korra. Asami angrily states that he is a firebender and can boil the water himself. Pema proceeds to awkwardly exit the kitchen to avoid conflict, hoping that Asami and Mako will talk through their problems. An argument ensues in which Asami accuses Mako of having feelings for Korra and notes that she is aware of the kiss he and Korra had shared. Mako is surprised that she knows and decides to talk about their relationship later. Asami angrily leaves, saying that there might not be a relationship to speak of soon. Tenzin asks Lin to guard his wife and children until the upcoming council meeting is finished, to which she agrees. Pema arrives shortly after and hands her Meelo, stating that he needed a wash. Lin is left holding the young airbender, who needs to go to the bathroom. Tenzin leaves on Oogi to go meet with the other council members.

The Equalists begin their plans to attack the city, beginning with the capture of the council members. The Fire Nation councilwoman is captured by the Lieutenant, disguised as an exterminator. Tenzin arrives in City Hall, where he is ambushed by Equalists on the roof disguised as cleaners. However, he manages to successfully elude his abductors. The council page informs him that all the other council members were captured, leaving Tenzin in charge of Republic City, which is subsequently bombed by Equalist airships. He visits the Police Headquarters to talk to Saikhan. Relieved to see that Councilman Tenzin wasn't captured, he informs him about the worsening situation of the city and that his forces are spread too thinly to be able to successfully repel Equalist attacks. Tenzin asks him to send a wire to the United Forces, which he does. At this point, the telephone lines are sabotaged by the Equalists and the headquarters are sprayed with nerve gas, rendering most of the police force unconscious. Tenzin manages to evacuate the rest of the police force by creating a globe of air, but mecha tanks are waiting for them as they arrive outside.

The tanks are able to capture all the metalbenders including Chief Saikhan using magnets on their arms as the police forces' suits are made of metal. Tenzin tries to stop them, but is incapacitated and overwhelmed by the successive attacks of mecha tanks. However, before he is carried away, Korra and her team arrive. They are able to destroy many of the tanks, while Asami fights Equalist ground troops and frees Tenzin and the metalbenders. They destroy the remaining tanks while Hiroshi Sato looks down on the scene from an airship, expressing disappointment at seeing his daughter fight alongside benders. Amon, who is by his side, assures him that he shall soon have his daughter back.

Tenzin, Korra, and the others turn their attention to Air Temple Island, where they see Equalist airships approaching. At the island, the Lieutenant leads ground troops as the White Lotus sentries prepare to repel their attacks. Lin tells Pema and the kids to hide inside. As they go, Pema announces that her baby is coming. Two Air Acolyte midwives usher her inside to deliver the baby.

The Lieutenant and his Equalist forces exit the airships. Lin is able to fight off some of them, but is knocked out by the Lieutenant. However, Jinora arrives, defeating the Lieutenant, while Ikki and Meelo are able to incapacitate the rest of the Equalists.

Tenzin, Korra, and the rest arrive at the island. Tenzin initially shows disappointment at Lin for allowing his children to fight, but she tells him that he should be proud of his children for teaching them well, as she would have lost if it weren't for them.

Tenzin then goes to Pema, who has given birth to a son. Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo come in to see the baby, whom Tenzin and Pema name Rohan. Their peaceful family moment is cut short, however, when more Equalists arrive on the island. Tenzin decides that he and his family must flee. Lin tells him that she is going with them, stating that she must protect the last airbenders in the world. Tenzin tells Korra to hide in the meantime until the United Forces arrive in three days. He promises Korra that they will return with reinforcements and that, when they do, they will be able to turn the tides against the Equalists.

Korra, Bolin, Mako, and Asami then climb on Naga. The White Lotus sentries tell them that they will hold the Equalists off while Korra and her crew flee. The guards, however, are overwhelmed by the Equalist forces as Korra makes her escape. The Lieutenant chases after Korra and her friends, but Naga swats him away in mid-air. They then dive into the water and head for the mainland.

Tenzin, Pema, their children, and Lin all ride on Oogi, fleeing the island. They are pursued by two Equalist airships. A net is launched at the sky bison, but Lin rips it to shreds. She tells Tenzin to not come back for her, no matter what happens. He looks back as she grapples onto an airship. She is able to rip a large section of the roofing off, triggering an explosion that causes the airship's downfall. She jumps to the next airship and begins to do the same; however, she is stopped when Equalists climb up top and knock her unconscious. Meelo, looking on, states that she is his hero, to which Tenzin solemnly agrees.

Korra and her friends are able to make it safely to shore, where she watches Air Temple Island sadly from the distance. Meanwhile, the island has been completely overrun by the Equalists. Lin is shown tied up and confronted by Amon. He tells her that she can keep her bending if she tells him where Korra is. However, she chooses to remain silent rather than compromise the Avatar, and her bending is removed.

A young United Forces general named Iroh is told that he has received a message from the Avatar, saying that Republic City has been overrun. He tells the telegrapher to relay her a message that he will be there with his forces in three days' time, and that he looks forward to retaking the city with her.
