RODRIGO
Legend of Kora - Venom of the Red Lotus
The Red Lotus administer a metallic poison to Korra in order to force her into the Avatar State and then kill her, which would end the cycle of the Avatar's rebirth. However, in her wrath, she overpowers her captors and fights Zaheer in the skies. Meanwhile, her friends find and rescue the airbenders. After Mako electrocutes Ming-Hua, he and Bolin narrowly escape Ghazan collapsing the Red Lotus's lair on top of himself. As Korra is about to succumb to the poison, Jinora leads the airbenders to pull Zaheer out of the sky with an air vortex. He is captured, and Suyin bends the poison out of Korra. Two weeks later, in Republic City, a weakened, wheelchair-bound Korra watches as Tenzin anoints Jinora an airbending master. He rededicates the Air Nomads to a nomadic life of service to the world, following Korra's example.
