[[File:Amon_removes_firebending_7276.jpg|frame]]The third episode of
''[[The Legend of Korra]].'' It aired on April 21st, 2012.
 
The episode begins with an early morning training session for the Fire Ferrets, which is interrupted when the head of the Pro-Bending arena comes to give them the prize money for winning their match. He immediately takes it all away to pay for equipment, housing, groceries, and to tell the brothers that they had better hand over 30,000 yuans if they want to compete.
Line 11:
Korra and Mako give chase on Naga, but the kidnappers aren't going to let them follow. Two double-back on motorcycles, and manage to trap the polar-bear dog. Korra and Mako throw everything they have at them, but they're like lightning, striking quickly and efficiently. They mooks are chi-blockers as well, able to temporarily prevent bending. Korra and Mako are saved by Naga escaping her bonds just in time. The Equalists escape, leaving Korra and Mako without a clue to where Bolin has been taken.
 
The pair search in vain through the night. They are about to give up when Korra has an idea. They head to the plaza where she met the Equalist man on [[The Legend of Korra/Recap/S1 E1 Welcome to Republic City|her first day in the city]]. The pair lean against Naga and chat for a bit. Mako explains his [[Dark and Troubled Past]], how his and Bolin's parents died and he took up work for a gang to survive.
 
The next day, Mako and Korra have [[Sleep Cute|fallen asleep]], and wake up to the protester's chant. They try to extort him for information. He initially refuses to talk, but he lets slip that the Equalists are having a rally that night where their leader, Amon, will reveal something amazing the world. The heroes make a quick getaway, with Mako snagging a few of their posters. The posters turn out to be a puzzle. On the back there is a map which, when put together, shows the location of the rally.
Line 47:
* [[Held Gaze]]: Bolin and a minor unnamed bender share one of these when the bender is led away {{spoiler|to have his abilities removed by Amon.}}
* [[The Infiltration]]: Mako and Korra disguise themselves and sneak into an Equalist rally.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: What Lightning Bolt Zolt says after {{spoiler|Amon takes his Bending away}} is the exact same thing Ozai says to Aang in [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Sozins Comet/Recap/Book 3/21 Sozin's Comet Part 4: Avatar Aang|the finale]] to ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. He even {{spoiler|tries and fails to use firebending}} like Ozai.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: The first public victims of Amon's {{spoiler|bending-removal}} ability are the leader of the Triple-Threat Triad gang and three of his bender thugs.
* [[Mission From God]]: Amon claims he obtained {{spoiler|his energy-bending-like powers}} from a spirit who gave him the mission to get rid of benders. Whether or not this is true remains to be seen.
Line 59:
* [[Reformed Criminal]]: {{spoiler|Mako and Bolin}}.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Amon is an energy-bender!}}
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]:
