Honestly, while Mako probably factored in to it a bit, I really think that she just realizes that benders aren't inherently evil like her father and other equalists believe. She has been dating Mako for a little while at least, so she knows how he acts, how he behaves, etc. She knows that Mako is a good guy, despite being a firebender, and thus knows that simply being a bender does not make one evil, no more than being a non-bender makes one a crazy equalist.

There is a lot more going on during this whole exchange beyond just "Oh, my boyfriend is in trouble. Better electricute my dad to save him". I think she's a bit deeper than that.

In other words, I agree with you. Though I think its been implied that more than a few weeks have gone by. Its hard to tell with how some of these episodes are shot, but I got the feeling that at least a season or two has passed since Korra got to Republic City. I could be wrong about that though.
