I really wish Lin would teach Bolin metalbending. We haven't seen anyone learn metalbending, except for Toph who invented it. Here are a couple of reasons why it would be amazing:

1. Bolin's character AND bending would develop. Even though I'd rathter see Bolin sandbend we all know it would be more useful to bend metal in republic city. And I really hope him mentioning his inability to metalbend was some sort of foreshadowing. And we'd get to see him serious and determined, much like Sokka in "Sokka's Master". Seing Bolin become more than a comic relief would please both me and the fans of the show.

2. Lin would play a bigger role in the series. We all love the badass Lin Beifong full of skill, bravery and attitude. And since she's not a chief anymore, she has a lot of spare time. We'd see her take a challenging role as a teahcer, which seems to clearly be out of her comfort zone. Seing Lin teach her badassery to a younger pupil would be quite entertaining.

3. More of Lin and Toph. To actually see Lin learn from her mother in a short flashback would be so cool, and it would be a necessary point to the plot and not just fanservice. We'd get deeper into their relationship, which helps Lin get a stronger relationship with her student.

4. A fully sub-skilled Team Avatar. Mako with semi-lightning, Asami with tech and Bolin with metal. That would be a great improvement on Team Avatar in general. And we'd have Korra without a sub-skill because she's the motherf***ing avatar.
