The Legend of Korra ended with Korra and Asami finally becoming a couple, literally going off hand-in-hand. Korra, the lead character, and Asami, her mechanic friend, went from competing over the same guy, to forming a friendship, to finally admitting their feelings for one another.
The Legend of Korra was sort of groundbreaking in the sense that it was one of the first children's show to feature two bisexual characters and a same-gender relationship. The show recently celebrated its nine-year anniversary, and much of the renewed appreciation of the series is due to these two characters and their relationship.
9 The Aftermath (Season 1, Episode 7)
Korra didn't initially like Asami, since she was a romantic rival when they first met. She's less than pleased to be hanging out at Asami's mansion, but the experience leads to a change in her opinion of the girl. This change occurs when Asami takes Korra out on her racetrack and shows off her driving skills. The girls find out that they have more in common than their taste in guys, such as an enjoyment for adrenaline.
8 A Breath Of Fresh Air (Season 3, Episode 1)
Season three begins with Asami and Korra finally putting Mako behind them. The girls are able to joke about him together and agree that they're totally over him. As their feelings for Mako are in the past, it seems that the two are closer than ever. After opening the portal to the spirit world in the previous season, Korra is stressed by the fallout of that choice, and frantically trying to set things right. Asami is along for the ride, offering advice and support when Korra needs it. The first hint of a crush appears here when Korra is so busy looking at Asami in the passenger seat that she nearly crashes.

3 Korra Alone (Season 4, Episode 2)
This episode is all about Korra, but features a detail that really helps move the Korra-and-Asami relationship along, even as season four separates them for six episodes. After the ordeal with Zaheer, Korra feels that she needs time alone to recover. Asami offers to accompany her, but Korra declines, feeling that this is something she needs to figure out for herself. As the episode shows Korra struggling to regain her strength and confidence, and dealing with PTSD, it's revealed that, while she lost contact with everyone else in her life, Korra continued to keep in touch with Asami by letter.
2 Reunion (Season 4, Episode 7)
"Reunion" finally has Korra rejoin Team Avatar after her self-imposed exile. Korra and Asami share a particularly sweet reunion, where they immediately hug, and Asami compliments Korra's new hairdo, making Korra blush. They go out to dinner with Mako to catch up, and he picks up on the vibe between the two, as there's clearly more than friendship going on.
