Synopsis
The Fire Ferrets are seen practicing early in the morning. Soon the Boss of pro-bending comes to pay them, but because of debts they owe him, he takes it all back. He also says that they need 30,000 yuans in order to play. Seeing the no one has the money, Bolin comes up with the idea that Pabu could do tricks on the street. While trying to raise money, a man comes up to him and ask him if he wants to help the triple threat bribing him with money. Bolin accepts and goes with the gang member. Mako arrives home from a job he aquired to raise money and sees Bolin is missing. He finds Korra and together they go to the Triple Threat hideout and finds that they are escaping with Bolin hostage. Korra and Mako chase them but are stopped when two chibenders block their bending and take off. Mako explains that the chibenders worked for the Equalists, a group that wants to end all bending to create equality. The two continue looking all night until Korra decides to seek out a protester she saw when she arrived in Republic City. She interogates him and learns that Amon, the leader of the Equalists, is having a rally known as "The Revelation". She and Mako sneak into the rally and learn that Amon has a plan to take all bending away by using energybending, an old bending form that can take away ones bending ability. Amon demonstrates this power on the leader of the Triple Threat and tries to use it on Bolin. However, Mako and Korra rescue and escape with him. Korra returns to airbender island and reports to Tenzon what she saw. Tenzin is clearly concerned and ends the episode on an ominous note, saying "No bender is safe".
