After what happened in the dojo yesterday, the senseis were really worried about the safety of their students, if the Cobra Kai students had the courage to do that, what would be the next thing they would come up with? So they went to the dojo earlier to talk about what happened, not just Daniel, Johnny, Chozen and Mike, but also someone they refer to as the "karate adjacent".
Amanda: Now they've crossed the line, these guys are CRAZY! We can't wait any longer, we have to call the police now.
Johnny: Amanda, this is not a good idea.
Daniel: I hate to say this but I have to agree with Johnny, remember when we went to the police to talk about Kreese, it didn't do any good, and if I know Kreese, I'm sure this is just the beginning.
Carmen: Our children's safety is at stake, what are we going to do?
Chozen: Nothing, leave it to me, I will go to John Kreese.
Mike: I like the way he thinks.
Amanda: Chozen, don't tell me you're thinking of playing a one-man army.
Chozen: No... Not yet, I'll just give him message.
Mike: I'll go with you, to make sure he gets the message.
Meanwhile, at the Cobra Kai dojo, the students were waiting for the senseis to arrive, meanwhile they were talking, and Min seemed to be very angry.
Min: You are pathetic all of you, this plan was perfect and you screwed everything up.
Kyler: Hey, it's not our fault, last time I saw, you lost to Tory.
Min: Yeah, and Anthony started training this summer, and he still kicked your ass.
Kenny: Don't call us pathetic, what the hell was that idea? You thought we could go there, set their dojo on fire and everything would be fine?
Yoon: What is it? Suddenly you're reluctant to attack them, don't say it's because of your little friend Robby.
Kenny: This has nothing to do with him, your idea was terrible.
Min: At least we know where we belong, if you want to sit on the fence this dojo is not for you, so you better leave now, as for you Yoon, you were the worst of all, you tossed aside what was important just to flirt with Demetri's girlfriend.
Yoon: Don't try to change me, I am who I am, besides, it wasn't in vain, we gave Demetri one hell of a beating.
Min (sarcastically): Of course, he was a big threat to us, we needed to weaken him before the tournament.
They continue arguing for a while longer when Kreese and Kim arrive at the dojo.
Kreese: ENOUGH!
Upon hearing his voice, everyone stops arguing.
Kreese: Any idea what they were arguing?
Kim: No, but if you let me talk to them I think I might find out.
Kreese: Alright, they're all yours.
Kreese went to his office, and left Kim talk to the students, little did he know that she was aware of everything that had happened, in fact, she helped her two students come up with this plan, she was behind everything from the very beginning, so she went up to Yoon and Min and started talking to them in Korean.
Kim (in Korean): So? How did the plan went?
Min (in Korean): Not very good, it would have been fine if he hadn't tossed everything aside to flirt with a girl.
Kim (in Korean): Mr. Yoon, I'm disappointed at you, that's why we have the no dating between students rule in our dojang back home, I expected more from you. Did you at least manage to hurt any of their students?
Yoon (in Korean): Yes, Demetri Alexopoulos was badly injured.
Kim (in Korean): Demetri Alexopoulos? Please don't tell me this was the best you could do.
Min (in Korean): No master Kim, I also defeated Samantha Larusso in a fight, I doubt she'll be well enough to compete in the Sekai Taikai next week.
Kim (in Korean): Well, that's good news, Ms. Min, you did a good...
Min was on the verge of getting what she always wanted, after so many years of trying to please Kim she was finally going to receive a compliment, Yoon on the other hand clearly fell short of his sensei's expectations, and if he wasn't going to do well, no one would.
Yoon (in Korean): She also lost badly to Tory Nichols.
Min thought about keeping that part a secret, but the self-centered blabbermouth Yoon had to ruin her reputation, just because his wasn't good, he knew that Kim hates Tory, so he decided to bring it up.
Kim (in Korean): What? How were you able to lose to Tory Nichols? I am very disappointed.
Min (in Korean): She caught me off guard, after I fought Larusso, otherwise I'm sure I'd beat her.
Kim (in Korean): Very well then... If you have to face her in the Sekai Taikai, I hope you prove this to me, if you two fight I hope you win, in a way that she will never forget.
She nods, and Kim leaves to talk to Kreese.
Kreese: So? You discovered anything?
Kim: Yes, I found out, they...
Before she could say anything else, Kreese hears the door opening and they both go to see who it is.
Kreese: It looks like we have visitors...
He goes to see who it is, and is surprised to see Chozen.
Kreese: Mr. Toguchi, to what we owe the pleasure of your visit?
Chozen: You know as well as I do why I'm here, your students have to pay for what they done.
Kreese: I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Mike (arriving at that moment): Don't play dumb with me, we know very well that you had your students set our dojo on fire.
Kreese: Mike Barnes, now that's someone I haven't seen in a long time, but I don't understand what you said, my students did what?
Chozen: They tried to set our dojo on fire, our students tried to stop them, and two of them ended up seriously injured, we demand that you keep your students under control until the tournament, otherwise we're having problems.
Kim (to Kreese): Are you really going to let them come here and threaten us like that?
Kreese: Look, if what you said is true, I guarantee that all students involved will be severely punished, but a word of advice, if you have any love for your life, never come to our dojo to threaten us again.
Mike (getting ready to fight): What's up old man? Wanna throw down? Bring it!
Chozen (holding Mike so he wouldn't attack): Mike-San, it's not worth it, we'll defeat them on the mat, we just came here to leave message.
Mike: Yeah, you're right, that's the message. Control your students, or we're havig problems.
Kreese is silent, but Kim glares down at her opponents.
Kim: Chozen Toguchi, I heard about your fight with Silver, even today I'm surprised to think that you survived, it's a disappointment actually, but listen carefully to what I'm going to say, Silver may have failed to kill you, but I will not, so do not turn your back on me.
Chozen: You say you're going to kill me? Let's see who will be laughing after the tournament is over.
Chozen and Mike leave the dojo, they weren't afraid of Kim's death threat, but they had a problem, the Cobra Kai students wouldn't leave their students alone, so they went to talk to Daniel and Johnny, and together they made a decision.
Strangely, after yesterday's fight, Demetri didn't show up for training, last night, after returning home he saw what he feared the most, Yasmine left him a message, and in that message it said "We need to talk", and how Demetri himself had explained to Miguel, this is synonymous with "I want to break up with you", so the next day he went to Yasmine's house fearing the worst.
He knocked on the door, and Yasmine appeared, and Demetri was incredibly shy, almost like he was back to the guy he was before he started doing karate, he had no idea what Yasmine was going to say, he knew that conversation had something to do with what happened yesterday, when he accidentally hit her, so as soon as she showed up he started apologizing.
Demetri: Yasmine, about what happened yesterday... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you, but, I got so angry at the time that I went blind and...
However, her answer was something completely unexpected for Demetri.
Yasmine: I understand.
Demetri: Wait a minute, you understand?
Yasmine: Yeah, I know you didn't want to hit me, but at that time... You were so angry, you showed me a side of you that I didn't even know existed, and... I need some time to decide how deal with that...
Demetri: When you say time, you mean...
Yasmine: Look, the problem is not you, it's me, I don't even know if this is what I really want, but right now, I think this is what I need...
Demetri (trying to hide his sadness): But... At least we can still be friends, right?
Yasmine: Sure, then... I see you around... I guess...
Demetri: Okay, bye...
He leaves her house, Demetri was visibly sad, he never thought he would get someone like Yasmine, but he did... And he screwed everything up, Yasmine wasn't happy with the breakup either, but after seeing Demetri that night, she started to think that maybe he wasn't what she thought he was, and even though he didn't intentionally hit her, if he had another rage attack like that... What could happen?
Back at the dojo, the training continued, and Miguel went to talk to Samantha, he hadn't spoken to her after seeing how she got out of the fight in the dojo, and he felt really bad about it, but when he saw her in the dojo, he was happy to see that she was recovering from her injuries.
Miguel: Hi Samantha, look, about what happened yesterday, sorry I didn't talk to you, but...
Samantha: You don't have to apologize, I understand, we were all exhausted after that fight, so don't feel bad.
Miguel: Yeah, that's true, but I still should have talked to you...
Samantha: Don't worry, I said everything is fine, but what about you? You weren't hurt after the fight?
Miguel: A little, but I've been through worse, and I'm glad to see you're recovering.
Samantha: Well, yeah, I'm a fast healer.
They kiss again, and Miguel felt better, he thought he had screwed everything up, but clearly everything was fine between them, a few minutes later, the senseis called all the students to tell them of the decision they made.
Daniel: Well guys, after a conversation that sensei Toguchi and sensei Barnes had with the Cobra Kai senseis, we learned that the attack on the dojo yesterday was only the beginning, so for the safety of all of us, we made a decision.
Johnny: We'll travel to Okinawa earlier.
Robby: What? Earlier when?
Chozen: Tomorrow.
Everyone was surprised by that, after all, everyone expected to travel only on Saturday, so they would arrive in time for the tournament, but now they would spend an extra week in Okinawa.
Daniel: Yes, I know this was unexpected, but we've already called the school to let them know of your absence.
Mike: We know it's not what you wanted, but we believe it's the best thing to do, if you stay in the Valley now, you'll all just have a target on your back.
Johnny: We also know that some of you are minors, so you need parental consent, so we're giving you notes, and we need your parents to sign them, and if they don't, forge their signature, it always worked for me.
Daniel: Johnny!
Chozen: Last but not least, we'd like you to warn the students who didn't show up for training today.
When Chozen said that, Hawk immediately thought of Demetri, it was strange that he didn't show up for training, however, he also remembered that Demetri was badly injured after the fight, so he started to worry that something bad had happened to his friend, so , right after training ended, Hawk went to his house.
Demetri was in his room playing Dungeon Lord when he saw that his best friend was there.
Hawk: So that's where you are, you got me really worried.
Demetri: How did you get in here?
Hawk: Hello, I've been coming here since I was a kid, think I don't know where your parents hide a copy of the key? But that's beside the point, the thing is, our trip to Okinawa has been postponed to tomorrow morning.
Demetri: Good for you, I'm not coming.
Hawk: What?
Demetri: Exactly, I'm done with karate.
Hawk: What do you mean, done with karate? You can't abandon us like this.
Demetri: You guys are great without me.
Hawk: Look, my right foot is good, but without the left one I can't walk.
Demetri: Get a prosthesis.
Hawk: No, I... You're smart, stop pretending you don't understand, we're a team, you said it yourself, it's like an attack group from Dungeon Lord, if one of the members doesn't do his part, it can ruin everything .
Demetri: Forget it, there's nothing you can tell me that will change my mind.
Hawk: What's gotten into you, you don't even look like the old Demetri I know.
Demetri: You wouldn't understand...
Hawk: Why don't you try? Come on man, we're friends or not?
Demetri: I screwed up, everything it took me years to get, my confidence, the girl of my dreams, in a matter of minutes, it all went down the drain.
Hawk: I didn't know... But now that I do, I think I can help you, the same thing has happened to me, I got so angry, I did some shit and I lost the girl I love, but look at us now, Yasmine is coming back, man, she loves you, heck she even flew economy class just to go to prom with you.
Demetri: Not only that, the way they attacked me yesterday made me realize that no matter how much I improved I would still be useless in the tournament.
Hawk: So you're blaming yourself because you weren't able to beat them? Please, there were at least 20 guys there, only a sensei to defeat them all alone.
Demetri: Look, I understand what you're trying to do, but seriously, I'm done with karate.
Hawk: Listen to me, before the All Valley, after the thing with my mohawk, I thought the same thing, I thought I was going to give up karate, but you came to my house and said I had to go back, and guess what? It was the best thing that ever happened to me, I awakened inner peace, I put my anger under control and I became a champion, but that was all thanks to you who didn't let me give up, and if I didn't give up, neither can you.
Demetri: It doesn't matter, I don't have anything anymore, my girlfriend, my trust, I lost everything!
Hawk: So you say you lost everything...
He takes out his cell phone and, just like Demetri did the other time, Hawk shows him the video of them singing the Binary Brothers theme song.
Demetri: Why are you showing me this?
Hawk: You said you lost everything, but I know one thing you haven't lost, our friendship, no matter what happens, nothing will change the fact that we are the Binary Brothers. And it's not just me, you're also friends with Miguel, Robby, Samantha and... Well, everyone else, and what your friends want is for you to come with them to the Sekai Taikai.
Demetri thought a little about what his friend said, and it was true, he really had a lot of friends in the dojo, and they would certainly want Demetri to go with them, but he was still in doubt if he wanted to go.
Demetri: I... I'll think about it, okay? But I'll let you know about my decision.
Later, at the Larusso house, Samantha and Tory were packing their bags.
Tory: So, you're feeling better today?
Samantha: A little, How are you?
Tory: Better than ever, I think I finally have what it takes to win, I noticed you didn't look well after the fight, if you want to talk about it I can hear you.
Samantha: Thanks, you know, when I lost that fight yesterday, I felt really bad, you know when you give your all in a fight and it's still not enough, I felt like that after the tournament, and now it's all coming back to me...
Tory: I understand, you know, when I was in Cobra Kai, I learned a lesson, one of the few good things I can take from that time, when we suffer a loss, we have two options, let it get to you and stay in the same spot, or use it as an incentive to improve, and win next time, that's why I bounced back so easily from losing to you at the school brawl, and also when we fought at your house, I put even more effort into my training to defeat you the next time we fought.
Samantha (realizing Tory was right): That's it, that's it! Instead of feeling bad because I lost, I have to use this to get better, thank you Tory, you... You're a great friend...
Tory: After everything you and your family did for me this was the least I could do, you're a great friend too, just one more thing, try to make it to the finals, because it won't be the same if I don't defeat you.
Samantha: Leave it to me, we're both gonna make it to the finals, and we're gonna fight again.
Tory: But this time, as friends.
Tory really helped Samantha regain her confidence, and now she would dedicate herself even more to the training she would have with Chozen, she was determined to win, whoever the opponent was.
As you can see, our heroes are excited for the Sekai Taikai, however they may have forgotten something... Or rather, someone, despite the many crimes behind his back, he was still very rich, so Terry Silver was still able to to reduce his sentence to before the Sekai Taikai.
When seeing Silver's face, it was clear that he was crazier than ever, if there was still a little humanity in him before, now there is no more, he only thought of one thing... Revenge!
Silver (after leaving prison): You thought you were gonna get rid of me forever, didn't you, Danny Boy? I'm always amazed at how small your mind is, you and your friends Lawrence, Toguchi and Barnes better be prepared, because everything you've been through so far is going to feel like a spa day compared to what comes next, but first, I need to have a talk with my old friend...
He walks for a while, but suddenly he finds an old newspaper, and in this newspaper he sees a photo of Johnny and Chozen, and a title saying "best man cuts off Mexican drug dealer's hand to save groom at bachelor party", and when he looks further down he sees a picture of someone he didn't know named Hector Salazar.
Unaware of Silver's return, the next day, Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, Mike and most of the students were at the airport, just waiting for their plane to arrive, and Hawk was sad to see that Demetri hadn't come.
Miguel: Relax man, I also wanted him to come with us, but he made a choice, there's nothing we can do about...
Before he could say anything else, Hawk saw someone coming towards them, when the person got closer, he was very happy to see his Binary Brother, he then went towards his friend and shook his hand.
Daniel: Look who's back, I see you decided to come with us.
Demetri: Yeah, I made my decision, I'm going to do what I can to help my friends.
Mike: Great, and you're just in time, because here comes the plane.
They board the plane and prepare for a long trip to Okinawa.
As we can see, Demetri has regained the will to fight with the help of his Binary Brother, but will he and Yasmine be able to work things out? In addition, Tory also helped Samantha regain her confidence, and now she will undergo special training with Chozen to become even stronger for the tournament, which will start in exactly one week, on the other hand, we see that Silver has come out of prison, and now he knows about Hector, what do you think will happen?
