^ Thank you! This has been bugging me all day with all these "Asami is STILL an equalist" posts.

Like others have said, Asami being a spy at this point would pretty much be pointless. They had all these major benders, including the avatar, in their clutches. Having Asami stage a daring escape for them at this point would be completely counterproductive to their goals and would be pointless. So much could go wrong with such a plan that Amon would have to be a fool to implement such a scheme.

Yes, Amon said he wanted to save the avatar for last. Guess what, you can lock her up and keep her fed until you feel its time for your duel, if Amon is even legitimately considering dueling Korra fairly at all, and it would serve the same purpose, with none of that nasty "Potentially disrupt your plans since you stupidly decided to use a useless spy to let us go when you had us exactly where anyone with a brain would want us" issue that could crop up.

Peoplle seem desperate for Asami to be evil at this point. Before episode 7, suspecting her at least had some rationale since she was in the list of suspects likely to be the traitor. Hiroshi turned out to be the traitor, and Asami was very obviously upset and not at all on board with her father, and I think an electric shock got that across pretty well. But people persist in accusing her even though it no longer makes any sense.
