Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Romantic rivalries disrupt the harmony on Korra’s team.
Our Take
This one leans hard into the love triangle stuff, and your patience for teen romantic jealousy will decide how much you enjoy it. The probending matches still deliver real energy, and Bolin gets a genuinely funny-sad subplot out of the whole mess. It’s a lighter, sillier hour that mostly works, though it feels like a detour from the season’s bigger stakes.
