I was about to post the thought I just had of Seven Havens / seven chakras.
This week confirmed the Chakra theory. The Faceless storyline threw a few curfballs i didn't expect.
Death to all enemies of pudding!

Running theory: Asami was trying to remove Vaatu from Korra & Raava, and re-imprison him, but it all went sideways when he fought back. That would explain the Future Industries facility under Ellora, and the anomaly would be the after-effects/residue of the process. Maybe the extraction got messy and the red bismuth crystal stuff is mostly Vaatu, but also parts of Raava and the Avatar, and parts of Vaatu remain with Raava & Vaatu. It would track that sundering the great spirits of cosmic balance would wreak sheer havoc on the world.
Still not sure how the chakras, havens, and the Avatar spirit are connected, but they clearly are somehow. I suspect we'll find that all of the havens are build over or around Asami's old facilities, and each played some part in the attempt. Maybe the plan was to pull Vaatu apart into the seven aspects of the chakras, and achor them in the physical work? That way he could no longer form a coherant maglignant entity, but still present enough to passively maintian the cosmic balance?
That would also explain why the Havens are where they are; each is in an eye of a storm created right beneath their feet.
Clearly the glimpse we saw of Korra going nuts in the avatar state is sorely lacking in context. Given that we know one of the havens is called "Republic Forest", it stands to reason what we actually saw was Korra forging Republic City into the first Haven. Still a lot of questions, but I'm enjoying the mystery!
Oh and in case anyone missed it and/or was for some odd reason still in doubt that Korrasami is a thing: in the mover, both Korra and Asami are wearing water tribe betrothal necklaces. So pretty sure they got married.

Wow, the pudding has really hit the fan now...
The problem with the big shocking reveal of the Faceless queen's true identity is that I had no idea who that character was. She was the cook, or something? I presume we've met her before, but I didn't remember that at all.

These three episodes were great.
It was cool to get to see older Korra and Asami, but this just gives us more questions about exactly what happened. So it looks like the Anomaly is possibly due to something that they did.
They definitely added a bit ambiguity to the whole Faceless thing. The whole thing with all benders being forced into the brigade whether they want to or not is pretty messed up.
I liked getting to learn a little more about the other Havens.
The Queen of the Faceless the cook right?
I was a little shocked Jae was so quick to turn on the White Lotus and the girls. At first I thought maybe he was just faking siding with Kayoko, but as of the end of The Envoys Part 2, it looks he wasn't faking.
I'm wondering if we might end up seeing the girls joining up with the Faceless, I was personally starting to find them a bit more sympathetic as the episodes went on.

I think he still is.
She showed up a couple times, she runs a bakery in town.
She was first seen when Pavi was trying to find scraps in a garbage can.
Then later on gave both girls free samples when they visited the shop.
I think Jae is very much faking it. He is quick thinking. His intervention and arrest of Karthik possibly saved his life and defused the situation. And it ensures the twins have an ally outside of jail.
I hope you're right, I like him and I'd hate to see him become a bad guy.
OK, I do remember those scenes, I just wasn't sure if that was her.
