I was really thinking it was just going to be Korra and her Dad's drama, then was so excited at first when she saw her mom, I was thinking there was going to be some new interesting angle but her Mom was pretty much just parroting the same stuff Dad was. Boo. Though it did come together much better when she bursts in on them after realizing her Dad wasn't involved with the revolutionists and there is honesty from her mom that they did think they would just be "a normal family." But even with that, I wasn't feeling like Korra's mom's actress was injecting any good, well, acting here and it seemed sort of imbalanced. Good on Korra for realizing she still does need her family, even when she's acting like she knows everything.

Maybe we won't see much more of it, but I would read tons about how Korra's parents went about trying to keep her with them, not ready to have to go out and be the Avatar yet.

The Air Family drama seemed a little forced at first, but I thought it really picked up when they were looking for Ikki. There are so many dynamic shifts there and I can totally buy Aang and being obsessed with Tenzin and leaving Kya and Bumi in the hands of Katara. I wonder if they're setting things up for Rohan to not be a bender (like Pema), which I too would find interesting.

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with that deal in Bolin's storyline either. Zing on Mako though when Bolin reminds him that he's pretty much dumped girls left and right.

The episode felt a little lax up until Unalaq's kidnapping (gorgeous fight scene!), though I was surprised it was Ikki who had run off and not Jenora considering what had happened last episode. At least the ending was a real cliffhanger.

Seriously, what should happen is Tenzin should talk things over with Lin about whether he's being a jerk to his siblings (of course she would say yes. :P).
