A genuine question then, do you think Mako meant to confront Bolin and/or Korra right then and there or was it something he thought about doing? My question being the context of Mako being in the area.

Korra felt so oddly threatened by Asami I think, which makes no sense to me. I think Korra liked how things were and Asami was a change, even though Asami had done nothing but be super hospitable and nice to the group, even as kind of an outsider.

Yep sounds good to me. Poor Tanno, but whatever. Amon gots to make his point.
