"Enter the Void" is the twelfth episode of Book Three: Change of The Legend of Korra and the 38th of the overall series. It was released on Nick.com for online viewing along with "Venom of the Red Lotus" as the first of a two-part season finale on August 22, 2014.

Overview
When other plans fail, Korra suggests a brave idea to take on the Red Lotus and save the Air Nation.

Synopsis
Aboard a Zaofu airship, Suyin Beifong proposes an attack strategy based on an ambush from the west, which Lin Beifong dismisses in favor of a plan involving a more covert approach from the mountainside. The group continues to disagree on which strategy to use, prompting Korra to remark that all plans are futile, as Zaheer would wipe out the airbenders at the first sign of trouble. Suyin reassures Korra that she is aware of what is at stake, given the fact that Opal is one of the prisoners. Korra acknowledges the matriarch and proposes a plan of her own, which involved voluntarily surrendering to Zaheer. Despite reservations from the others, Korra reassures her group and insists that keeping the Air Nation alive is crucial in maintaining balance.

In the Northern Air Temple radio room, Zaheer receives a message from Korra, who agrees to give herself up in exchange for the release of the airbenders. Back in the airship, Bolin voices his concern over Opal's wellbeing, visibly tense as Pabu is not present to comfort him. Back in Zaofu, Pabu and Naga tug on Yin's scarf, prompting the grandmother to scold the two for their behavior.
