Well, I mean... they seem to have gone legit now. They're answering TO the Queen, not running the joint as their personal fief.

It makes sense that the organization would still be around despite the excesses of their leadership and past members. It isn't like Zuko disbanded the Yu Yan archers or the Imperial Firebenders or the Fire Navy (I'm assuming their airships are part of their navy) despite the tremendous amount of bullshit and/or genocide those guys got up to.

Hell, it isn't like we got rid of the FBI or the CIA despite the criminality and incompetence that riddled both organizations during the middle part of the last century.

Let's just say Korra makes it out of Ba Sing Se in a way that would make Aang jealous.

I am aware this is not a high bar to clear since Aang died there and had to be saved by his girlfriend. But she still beats her predecessor!

It's hard to convey the best part of that exchange in text, which is the part where Tonraq side-eyes him during that slightly-to-long-pause. :)

Also too: man, what is it with Zuko and goths? I think Eska is nicer to him than she's been to literally anyone. Whatever it is Zuko had, it's clear he's still got it.

I love that Zuko is still a socially awkward dork. I bet Katara still makes fun of him for it.
