Legend of Korra spoilers, associated theory

Remember that time Nick accidentally released the AtLA finale in Canada before the US, and there were spoilers everywhere, swiftly followed by wank? I wasn't in the fandom at the time, but I remember it.

Well, today it turns out that one of Nick's Latin American subsidiaries has put three episodes from the middle of book three online? Here, if you're wondering.

I have a theory. ( Somewhat cracksome, definitely spoilery. )
