Depression and PTSD basically. She's been working through some shit for a few years. Toph helping her reconnect to some shit just gave her that final push.

Every time she felt the metal being pulled it reminded her of the fight. She basically almost died with every encounter. Especially with Zahere. She was pretty traumatized from the fight and the weight of the metal effected her. When Toph/herself pulled it out she could FEEL it, which was basically her trigger for the memories.
But man, Korra has gone through some shit...
Woops.
And, well, it was mercury. The fact that trace elements were still poisoning her system had a lot to do with her physical state, I'd imagine.
Poisonous elements in one's body tend to do that.
No one was saying anything about the physical aspect, just commenting on the metal.
Buddy comedy style episode with Milo in charge? Sign me the fuck up.
Great episode, great show, I can't wait to see how it continues. It sucks it's ending this season.
Zhu Li is the (wo)man.
Oh man this episode was awesome.

Overall, another winner of an episode.
Bolin really stepped his Earthbending up too. Glad to see him put up a good fight for once. Next episode should be even more action.
Spoiler: show
Anyone remember if Bolin and Mako had same dad?
Just trying to remember how one could fire-bend and other could earth-bend.
Spoiler: show
I wasn't trying to say that Bolin was bad, just that his bending looks a lot more refined than it previously did. The walls he used to erect always looked so basic, he was always sort of clumsily throwing rocks and stumbling through most of his battles in a panic (Pro Bending fights notwithstanding). This fight is the first one we really see him use his agility outside the Pro Bending ring and maintain some confidence/stay on the offensive.
Great episode. Felt like it ended too soon! Wish they uploaded two per week again.

Dunno if she can do that anymore since Aang was the one who knew how to do that and she no longer has a connection to him.
Basically avatar state at this time is actually being able to multi-bend. And flight. It's not imparting wisdom or past experiences anymore.
