Just as Daniel enters the office, he can see Demetri under his desk.
"If you want to play hide and seek, Demetri, you can go volunteer at a kindergarten", says Daniel.
Demetri shakes his head and comes out of the desk.
"Mr. LaRusso, we're in danger", says Demetri.
"What are you talking about?" asks Daniel.
"Sensei Lawrence is going to cause an ambush," Demetri points to Johnny, standing next to Sid, and Daniel realises what he's talking about.
"Johnny isn't Cobra Kai anymore, he works here with me", says Daniel.
"Well, he can't be trusted, he's like The Hound", says Demetri.
"The Hound saved Sansa Stark, Demetri".
Demetri clicks his tongue against his teeth in annoyance.
"I got to stop using Game of Thrones as a reference point", says Demetri.
"You know, there's an old saying: a person with no forgiveness in their heart, is living a worse punishment than death", says Daniel.
"So you're saying I need to forgive Sensei Lawrence and keep him on side?".
"Exactly; besides, he has been through a lot, and he could use a win right now".
Demetri sighs heavily and nods reluctantly, while Daniel grabs a pen and heads out.
Meanwhile, on the mean streets of LA, Robby races towards North Hollywood in an attempt to hide at LaRusso Auto.
"Inner peace…focus…balance…", says Robby repeating each word slowly and calmly in his head.
Wanting to peek back to see if he is being followed, Robby can see Red hot on his heels. Feeling a sense of danger and his adrenaline taking over his thoughts of calm, Robby ollies over a car and into on-coming traffic. Barely missing the other cars, Robby lands safely and Red texts Hawk: He's heading north. I can't keep up.
Hearing his phone, Hawk brakes and reads the text message from Red and something clicks. Clicking on Google Maps, Hawk types in LaRusso Auto Group – North Hollywood. It reads 5 minutes – by car, 12 minutes-by walking and 30 minutes by bus.
"Let's go", says Hawk.
In Daniel's office, Demetri is watching a video on his phone, when Johnny walks in. Demetri flinches and goes into a corner.
"Stay away!" yells Demetri.
"Take it easy, kid, I'm not going to hurt you", says Johnny.
"No, you're just going to be an asshole and point out my physical flaws to hide your own insecurities".
"The only part of that sentence that made sense was asshole, and I know I have been one".
Demetri moves away from the wall, while Johnny sits down.
"Sit", says Johnny.
Demetri sits down reluctantly, while Johnny sits in front of him.
"The last three days have been the worst of my life: I lost my dojo, I lost my students, and my best friend is in the hospital", says Johnny.
"I'm sorry to hear that, I didn't know", says Demetri.
"Of course, you know, it's Miguel!"
"Oh, right, of course".
"Look, I was hard on you, and I pushed you around, but you know what? Life is hard, and it's going to push you around, but that doesn't mean you have to take it like a bitch".
"Do you have to bring gender into this?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, you keep mentioning 'bitch' and you're basically saying that I'm acting female, but I'm not, so I'd really appreciate…"
"Quiet!" screams Johnny.
Demetri stands attention.
"There's a reason that you're always getting your ass kicked, it's because you can't keep your mouth shut.
"Understand this: nobody cares what you think, nobody cares about your feelings, and nobody cares that you're a whiny bitch, so grow a pair, and shut the hell up, got it?"
"Yes, sir", says Demetri.
"Good".
Groaning with frustration, Johnny gets up to leave and turns back.
"By the way", says Johnny.
Demetri sighs with regret after hearing Johnny's remark.
"Good job kicking Hawk's ass".
Demetri smiles and Johnny winks.
After dealing with the Greigers, Daniel and Johnny walk towards each other.
"How'd it go?" asks Daniel.
"Sid's in, you?" asks Johnny.
"The Greiger's are well on their way; how did it go with Demetri?".
"Yeah, I used to think that kid was a pussy, now I see he's just a wise-ass".
"Okay, take it easy, Johnny, we don't need you jumping on the 'let's get Demetri' bandwagon".
"Already did that".
"What did you say to him?"
"Relax, Danny, he'll be fine".
While Daniel and Johnny continue to converse, Robby appears, dropping his skateboard and collapsing behind a black Mercedes. Robby's once crisp and white shirt, now has patches of light grey from the sweat residue, his hair frizzy and he is now out of breath.
A hand touches Robby on the shoulder and without thinking, Robby rolls back from the figure and steps back. But drops his guard when he sees who it is: Amanda.
"Robby?" asks Amanda.
In a panic, Robby grabs Amanda by the sides of arms.
"Mrs. LaRusso, go inside and lock the door, I don't want you seeing this", says Robby.
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on", says Amanda.
"They're coming".
"Who?"
"Robby?" asks Johnny, appearing outside staring at his son and boss.
"Dad, they followed me here, they're going to kill me", says Robby.
"You mean, those two asshole you used to get loaded with?"
"No, that shithead Cobra with the stupid hair".
Before Johnny could even think about what his son is talking about, he knew exactly what he
"Hawk…", says Johnny.
"Yeah, he's got two others with him", says Robby.
Looking onwards, Amanda can see three boys on motorised scooters turn up at the car yard. Amanda doesn't say anything but smiles gently.
"Robby, why don't you and your dad go inside? I'll take care of this", says Amanda.
Robby frowns with concern and tries to utter a syllable, but can't do it, due to his admiration at Amanda's bravery.
"Have you lost your mind? They'll kill you", says Johnny.
"Who do you think Daniel's first student was, Johnny?" asks Amanda with a smirk.
Johnny is speechless, but then indicates for Robby to come inside. Meanwhile, Amanda approaches Hawk and Mitch.
"Good afternoon, boys, Welcome to LaRusso Auto", says Amanda.
Amanda immediately recognises Hawk, due to his highly recognisable hairdo and vulnerable eyes, when he looks at Amanda.
"We didn't get a chance to meet last night, I'm Amanda LaRusso", she says, extending her hand, Hawk smiles cockily and takes her hand.
"I'm Hawk", he says.
"Your real name?"
"Just Hawk".
Amanda releases the handshake.
"Well, 'Just Hawk', I thought I made it very clear to your Sensei that I will be pressing charges if I ever saw any of you again", says Amanda.
"Nah, bullshit – you said if you ever saw him again, not me", says Hawk.
"You'd better watch your language, young man".
"Or what?!"
As Hawk storms towards Amanda who swiftly pulls out a pepper spray and sprays it directly into his eyes. The feeling and sensation burns through Hawk's lenses and he grabs his eyes, screaming in pain and Mitch picks him up.
"Come on, man, let's go", says Mitch.
"Ahh, I can't see, you dumbass!" yells Hawk.
Amanda smirks and walks off, but before she does, Red blocks her path.
"Going somewhere, sweet cheeks?" asks Red cockily.
Amanda goes to raise her pepper spray again, but Red smacks it out of her hand.
"You won't need that, baby", says Red.
"You're right", says Amanda.
With one hard strike, Amanda punches Red in the throat and he's now gasping for air, struggling to stand up and then falling to the floor in a heap. Seeing him no longer as a threat, Amanda turns back to Hawk, he is still squirming in pain and Mitch holds his hands up in a surrendering way.
"Last warning", says Amanda.
Walking away once again with her head held high, Amanda stops and picks up her pepper spray nearby, then continues on.
Going back inside to the Auto Shop, Amanda is met by a concerned Daniel.
"Honey, what the hell was that?" asks Daniel.
"You're not the only one who can fight back", says Amanda.
"Yeah, come on, Danny, she was your first student", says Johnny.
Hearing those words come out of Johnny's mouth, Amanda turns to him with a twitching shake on her head an
"What are you talking about, Sam was my first student," says Daniel.
"Amanda just told me…" says Johnny, but Amanda then interrupts.
"Guys, enough!" snaps Amanda.
Hearing those words, both Daniel and Johnny stop talking. Amanda
"I've been taking lessons in Krav Maga at the Oaks Country Club", says Amanda.
"Why didn't you ask me to teach you?" asks Daniel.
"Because you're my husband, not my Sensei; besides, and no offence, but Miyagi Do is a little too soft for me".
Hearing the words 'soft' and Johnny snickering, has Daniel scoffing in offence and walking off in defeat.
"Good one, boss", says Johnny, chuckling to himself.
After hearing how she worded it, Amanda realises that Miyagi Do is really important to Daniel, and regrets her description.
