Synopsis
As Korra approaches the Bending Arena and tells Mako and Bolin that Tenzin has allowed them to stay on Air Temple Island, they respond by telling her that Asami has invited them to live in the Sato Mason, her father's giant estate.

As Asami shows up, holding Pabu in her hands, she invites Korra to come over. Korra finally accepts the invitation and leaves the Arena.

Lin Beifong and her Metalbending Police Force are shown raiding the Cabbage Corp, where they find multiple Equalist posters and other such material. The owner is shown being arrested in front of the Cabbage merchant's statue; Lin Beifong then announces the official closing of the company.

She then goes to the Police headquarters, where she sees Tahno, miserable and non-bending. After a short conversation and a promise of taking down Amon, Korra seeas Hiroshi Sato, Lin Beifong, and Tenzin conversing and leaves.

Later, she visits the rest of the Fire Ferrets in Asami's house, where Bolin proudly tells her of all the perks that come with living in the Sato Mason.

After Korra and Asami go to see a race - furthermore participate in one - Korra goes to the restroom. After exiting, she overhears Hiroshi talking of how the closing of the Cabbage Corp. bought them time, and how it was the right moment to strike.

Korra quickly leaves the estate and goes to Tenzin and Beifong, telling them of everything. Although quite disbelieving at first, they realize that Hiroshi's hate for benders may be because of the murder of his wife, done by the Agni Kai Triads, twelve years ago.

As they come to inspect, Bolin, Mako, and Asami are quite annoyed; however, Hiroshi gives them permission to check the entire Future Industries. No Equalist material is found. That all changes, however, when a what appears to be a Cabbage Corp. former employee slips a note in Korra's hand, telling her where to meet him to learn more about Hiroshi's plot with Amon.

After they are directed to a factory under the Sato Manson, Lin and her metalbenders, taking Korra and Tenzin alongside, enter the estate, with intentions of finding and eliminating any threat. Under the pressure of loosing her job because of Tarrlok's speeches against her, Lin uses seismic sense to discover a secret tunnel from Hiroshi's workshop to the secret, underground factory. Lin orders one of her men to make sure Bolin, Mako, and Asami do not come down; then she enters, followed by her men, Korra, and Tenzin.

As they come to the bottom, they witness the machines produced by Hiroshi; they are then locked by a platinum piece, something that metalbending cannot bend. Unable to get out, the benders are forced to face Hiroshi and the Equalist; however, the machines play their part as to giving the Equalist the advantage.

In the mean time, Mako tricks the police offers and enters with his brother, leaving Asami behind.

All of the benders in the workshop are defeated by the power machinery. As Mako and Bolin enter and try to save Korra and Tenzin, they are spotted by Hiroshi and Lieutenant. Hiroshi, using an electrified glove, threatens them; then Asami enters. Seeing her disbelief, Hiorshi asks her for forgiveness and tells her of how he is doing this because of the lost of her mother, who had been killed for benders. He then gives his daughter a glove and tells him to join him and Amon. As Asami takes up the glove, the Fire Ferrets look up in disbelief and despair. Asami, to everyone's surprise, electrocutes her father and Lieutenant and helps them escape.

Back on the police airship, Korra tells the two brothers that they and Asami are still welcome to come to Air Temple Island.

In the mean time, Lin tells Tenzin that she will resign and look for her men outside the law.

Korra then turns to Mako and tells him to go to Asami, knowing that she needs him. As he does so, she hugs him.

The airship slowly approaches the Republic City coastline at night.
