Bolins knows about what? About what Lin and Tenzin are up to with their digging around? I doubt he'd wanna tell Korra in case they told him NOT to tell Korra because this isn't really her fight (yet). Though it would also put a test to how much Bolin trusts Lin and Tenzin and how much he trusts Korra. Unless of course you mean something else heh.

If anything, Lin could stay for tea and then head back. I just don't see her staying the night since she feels she's already said too much and is acting quite unlike herself enough as it is. She is slowly trying not to push people away but it's a habit that is going to be tough to break because she probably accepts shes like her mother in the sense that getting close to people doesn't work out for her. </3

With the skip, I'd say it would happen after the funeral for Pema. We could then have Korra finally earth bending the way she was or close to it. (no metal bending yet or lava, whichever) And then we'd have Bolin and Mako still cops (maybe full fledged now?) and close again. Bolin and Korra have also gotten close again but not TOO much. Mako and Asami are back together again, her company is unveiling some new thing for the city and repairs on Republic City itself are mostly done. Asami is about to get earth bending and Xano and Xana could begin sending out trouble to test Asami's skills in both bending styles. Lin is making progress with her investigation, Tenzin is getting back to work?

Before the skip Asami will notify Korra she can fire bend now and leading up to it, we can have Korra, Mako and Asami fire bending together (Korra and Asami starting out slow probably). Though I also wanted to ask when we're offing Pema. I kind of want to do it soon. I know we planned to have Tenzin bring Katara back and have it not work but I do feel as though it should happen maybe the morning he's about to leave? I assume he's leaving in a day, maybe two? Which would put the funeral itself in 5-6 days? I think we could get Korra, Mako and Asami together during that span of time if you wanted...not that I'm trying to rush Pema out the door haha, but Lin and Pema did have a talk already and we want them to talk once more with Tenzin in the room so there's some kind of hint toward him being allowed to move on and be happy and for Lin to learn from the past instead of stay stuck in it?

Otherwise I assume (word of the night? lol) she dies when Tenzin returns in a couple days but I'm just trying to see what they really gives us in terms of the others roles.

Korra and Zaheer could date in the spirit world and it would be awesome. And then she tells Tenzin and he freaks out and gets jealous. And Korra decides Zaheer was just trying to make her a better Avatar in the end, even if his dream had to die, people can change. But alas...I also gotta give it to LoK for perfectly capturing Toph, every time she's on screen, it's very well done.
