While Korra is showing Asami to her room, Ikki makes the startling revelation that Korra likes Mako.

Ikki tells Asami that Korra likes Mako which as you can see greatly perturbs Korra.

This revelation sure sets Korra off but doesn’t seem to phase Asami too much.

After shutting Ikki out of the room Korra starts talking to Asami, she hears a knock at the door and assuming it’s Ikki she tells Ikki to scram. She then finds out it’s Tenzin to her embarrassment.

During a council meeting the next day Tarrlock proposes a new law that would put a curfew on non-benders, in addition to stricter penalties for consorting with Equalists. Tenzin disagrees saying that it is going too far to punish Non-Benders over the actions of a few non-benders. Tarrlock puts the law to a vote and surprise surprise the rest of the council sides with him.
