Mike DiMartino: To me, I always thought Jinora, I saw some different theories that people had of what Jinora was doing, and the truth is, I don’t know exactly what she was doing. The idea is that she did gather some sort of spiritual energy that helped trigger the tiny, little sliver of Raava that was left in Unavaatu.

Bryan Konietzko: She was kind of like a vehicle. She delivered it from the Spirit World and it kind of resuscitated Raava as this little heartbeat.

Mike DiMartino: Yeah. But she wasn’t like gathering pieces of Raava and reformed her or something…But it’s open to interpretation…We wanted to tie in, all season Korra and Jinora’s spiritual journeys we paralleled and to have them combine in the end in a cool way was the goal.
