    Finding

    Well Tenzin is send his children to fimd the Korra. During their mission they went through some of the things in adventure to finding Korra. Well this episode is mainly focus on Jinora, Ikki and Meelo, which is good they appear not so much in this season. Well Korra find some of her answer which help her to control herself. The episode is great but little bit slow in starting well this episode give the idea the next episode is going to be awesome. Toph told her what her really problem is and it help KOrra. But much have to be done this, Korra has taken a one step. Now we have to see what next step of her. Korra series has just gain is potential.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008) episode "The Calling" takes place in the mystical Swamp, and was the first appearance of Toph Beifong (though her appearance was in a hallucination). "The Swamp" was the first appearance of Toph Beifong in Legend of Korra, aside from flashbacks, and takes place in the same location.
    • Quotes

      Toph Beifong: You said you saw your past enemies. Now why do you think that is?

      Korra: I don't know. Because they made me and a lot of other people suffer.

      Toph Beifong: Sounds like you're carrying around your former enemies. The same way you're still carrying around that metal poison. You ever consider maybe you could learn something from them?

      Korra: Sounds like the swamp's messing with your mind too.

      Toph Beifong: My mind is just fine, thank you. Listen, what did Amon want? Equality for all. Unalaq, he brought back the spirits. And Zaheer believed in freedom.

      Korra: I guess.

      Toph Beifong: The problem was those guys were totally out of balance, and they took their ideologies too far.

      Korra: Okay, fine. But that doesn't explain why they keep haunting me.

      Toph Beifong: Because you need to face your fears. You can't expect to deal with future enemies if you're still fighting the old ones.
