"Out of the Past" is the ninth episode of the first season of the American animated television series The Legend of Korra, which is a spin-off/stand-alone sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show follows Avatar Korra (Janet Varney), the only person capable of bending all four elements (water, earth, fire, and air), as she tries to maintain balance in the world, with this season focusing on her battle with Amon (Steve Blum) and his group of equalists as they intend to remove bending abilities from the world using Amon's ability to take bending away from an individual.

Like the rest of the episodes in the first season, "Out of the Past" was directed by Joaquim Dos Santos and Ki Hyun Ryu, and written by series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, and it follows a captured Korra who learns the truth about Councilman Tarrlok (Dee Bradley Baker) while her companions search for her. The episode also introduces the adult versions of original series main characters Aang (D. B. Sweeney), Toph Beifong (Kate Higgins) and Sokka (Chris Hardwick) through flashbacks that Korra receives as visions. The episode originally aired on Nickelodeon on June 9, 2012, and was watched by 3.58 million viewers.^[1] The episode received positive reviews.
