Suyin Beifong and Lin Beifong in “Unfinished Business”

Opal has decided to go to the Northern Air Temple. I'm guessing you had something to do with her decision.

Lin Beifong

Well, I was just-

It's okay. I'm glad she was honest with me- I want her to do what makes her happy. (sadly) Mom gave us too much freedom- but I feel like I've made the mistake of giving Opal too little. I think it's time I let her choose her own way. (pause) I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time when we were younger. I can't imagine what my life would be like if Mom hadn't sent me away- if I had stayed in the city.

Lin Beifong

(dryly) You'd probably be in prison.

(chuckles) You're probably right. Mako told me that you're an excellent police chief. Republic City is lucky to have you. I know Mom is proud. (they both look up at Toph's statue again) Can we move on? I'd love for you to be a part of my life again. There's plenty of space for you in the house, and the kids would love having their aunt around. I do need a co-director for my new dance performance-

Lin Beifong

(raises her hands hastily) Whoa- slow down. How about, for now, I just promise not to show up at your house and attack you again?

Deal.
