In the kitchen, Maddie lays a tray full of chocolate chip cookies on the table. Right when she pulls her hands away, Jack attacks the tray, grabbing a handful of cookies. He begins munching them, while asking Korra questions about ghosts and spraying cookie crumbs all over the Water Tribe girl.
"Jack, stop badgering Korra about ghosts," Maddie says exasperatedly. "Now, Danny, honey, you have been gone for about one hundred sixty-seven days. Care to explain why you were gone so long?"
Danny swallows the cookie he was eating. He forgot how good they were. "Of course, I'll exp- whoa! What? I was gone for about five months?!"
"Yes, sweetie, about five months."
"Wow...that's long."
"Yes, we know! We were counting the days!" Maddie cries. "So, where were you?"
Danny explains almost the whole story - from the worm hole to the North Pole to Republic City to the road trip to crazy ass Zaheer and back to the worm hole and home, where he finds himself now. He does not describe the bending possibilities of this other world. He wonders how his parents will react to that. It was hard trying to figure out how to tell them he was half-ghost and he is their son for crying out loud. So, how will a girl from a different world who possesses powers over four basic elements strike them?
Danny looks at Korra, who has been only half-heartedly listening, but has definitely noticed the omission. "Should we tell them the part that I left out?"
"You two are dating?!" cries Jack. "I knew it! Man, I am so good!"
"JACK! Have some tact!" Maddie yells, glaring at her husband and then looking at the kids. "But are you?"
"No, we're not! Why do so many people think that?" Danny defends himself. "So can I tell them?"
Korra nods, giving Danny permission to inform his parents and so he does.
"LIES!" shouts Jack. "That's impossible!"
Danny wants to tell his dad to "shut up," but his mom gets there first.
"JACK!" Maddie yells. "Your son is a half-ghost! How can you not believe that this is not possible?"
"Well, I still want some proof!" Jack says defensively.
Maddie sighs. "Korra, you'll have to excuse Jack. He's a little...excitable."
"It's no problem. I'll be happy to show you," Korra replies. She looks at Danny. "Can I get some water?"
"Sure." Danny runs to the cupboard and gets a glass. He fills it up with water from the sink and hands the glass to Korra, who sets it on the table. She puts her hands in the bending position and begins to bend the water. It forms into a giant water snake and she makes it dance around the kitchen. Maddie is in awe. She applauds Korra, while Jack slams the table, exclaiming, "Now, that's proof!" Korra beams and bows.
