PREVIOUSLY: Samantha goes to Cobra Kai to confront Tory for ordering her students to destroy the dojo, she defeats Kyler, Kenny and Piper and was almost finishing Tory but then she remembered when she and Tory fought and released Tory later on, Tory tried to find out which of her students destroyed the Karate Kids dojo, but none of them spoke, Kyler tricks Tory and makes sure none of the students are punished, that same day Bianca and some other students try to get revenge on Laura, but Kate and Victor save her using the technique that Samantha and Miguel taught them, the next day the Cobra Kai students do the Coyote Creek training and Vivian Larusso defeats Jacob and regains Mr. Miyagi's Medal of Honor, the final fight is much harder, this time Vivian has to face Bianca who is determined to get revenge for her defeat in their previous fight, things don't go well for Vivian, but she manages to turn the tables at the last second and take down Bianca, Kyler tells Vivian to finish her off, but all she does is honk her nose, the next day Vivian goes to Samantha's house to return the Medal of Honor, Samantha is happy that Cobra Kai didn't change her niece and tells Vivian that if she ever wanted to return Samantha would welcome her with open arms, they hug and Vivian leaves, but before that she tells her aunt to watch out for Kyler and Jacob Park.
A few weeks had passed since Vivian returned the Medal of Honor to Samantha and both the Karate Kids and Cobra Kai continued training normally and no big fights happened, one day Tory was training her students as usual.
Tory: All right guys, our dojo got some new equipment, we have these robotic opponents to test your skills, who wants to be the first to test it?
Bianca: I'll go first sensei.
Bianca faces the robot and the fight begins, she tries to hit the robot with a kick but it blocks the attack, the robot tries to hit her with a punch, but she dodges, grabs the robot, knocks it to the ground and hits it with a punch.
Tory: Well done Ms. Silva, I expected no less from you.
Bianca: Let's see you do better Larusso.
Vivian faces the robot and the fight begins, it tries to hit her with punches, but she dodges all his punches, she then ducks and hits the robot with a kick, the robot gets up, but at that moment Vivian hits it with a Flying Tornado kick.
Jacob (in Kyler's ear): Uncle, that was the kick she used against me.
Kyler: I know, this Larusso is dangerous, we have to get rid of her somehow (he sees Bianca glaring at Vivian) and I have an idea.
Tory: Well done Larusso, who's next? (she hears her cell phone ring) wait a minute guys, I have to see this, sensei Elswith, take care of the class while I'm not here.
Piper: Yes sensei.
Tory walks into another room and sees a text on her cell phone, the text was from none other than Robby Keene and it said 'We need to talk'.
Tory: Robby?!
Robby and Tory dated when they were young and were even married for a while but they broke up for unknown reasons but the truth is that Tory had never moved on, she still missed Robby.
Tory (replying to Robby's text): No problem, just tell me the location and time.
A few minutes later Robby replies to her text.
Robby: Meet me at 6:45 at the following address.
He sends her an address.
Tory: Sure, I'll be there.
Meanwhile at Samantha's house:
Miguel: Hey Samantha, do you know who's in the Valley?
Samantha: Who?
Miguel: Robby Keene, he comes to visit Johnny and said he wants to see us tomorrow.
Samantha: That's great! tell him we'll be there.
Miguel: By the way, since there's no training today, how about we go out to dinner, just the two of us, like in the old days?
Samantha: Sounds great, I'm going to work now and then we can go.
Miguel: How about at 7 pm?
Samantha: Of course.
They kiss and Samantha leaves, but shortly after she leaves Miguel and Robby continue texting.
Miguel: So man, is everything ok for our plan?
Robby: Yeah, I just called our other guest and she agreed, she'll be there a little earlier and then you and Samantha arrive like you're just a couple going to dinner at that same restaurant.
Miguel: Thanks for the help, I had to do something to stop those two, I'm glad I can count on you, see you tonight then.
Later that day Tory was still training her students.
Tory: That's right guys, do like those holograms.
The holograms that were in the dojo showed some moves and the students had to copy these moves, later the training ends and Bianca sees that her sensei was a little tense.
Bianca: Sensei, is there a problem?
Tory: Don't worry about it Bianca, I'm fine.
Bianca: You don't look fine, does it have something to do with that text you got this morning? who was that person?
Tory: It was Robby Keene, my ex-husband, he wants to meet with me tonight but... I don't know how I feel about that.
Bianca: What are you talking about?
Tory: He and I had been dating since I was 17, at the time he was training at Cobra Kai, even after he left we continued dating and eventually got married, we were happy, but 16 years ago I caught him talking to one another woman at a party, i got jealous, yelled at him and he said he didn't want to be married to a woman who didn't trust him, so we divorced and never saw each other again...but the truth is I haven't moved on.
Bianca: If you still love him you should clarify what happened, explain to him that it was just a misunderstanding and maybe he will forgive you.
Tory: That's not all I'm worried about, you know, Robby grew up without a father for 17 years, although they reconciled after that, Robby told me that when he had a child he wanted to always be there in its life, he didn't want to make the mistake his father made.
Bianca: And is that a problem?
Tory: Yeah, that day we fought I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know what to do so I decided to give my son away as soon as he was born, I'm afraid to think how Robby would react if he knew that.
Bianca: It's very unlikely that he knows, go there and be yourself, I'm sure everything will be fine.
Tory: Maybe you're right, thanks Bianca.
Tory hugs her student and leaves the dojo.
Later, Tory arrives at the address she and Robby had agreed upon, a restaurant (actually it's the same restaurant Johnny and Daniel met Ali in the original series) she looks for Robby, but he soon shows up.
Robby: Tory with a Y.
He and Tory hug and sit down to talk.
Tory: Robby... it's really good to see you.
Robby: I say the same, how's your life going?
Tory: All right and how are you? what have you been doing? how's the family?
Robby: Well, after we got divorced I got a job in another state and moved there, I kept in touch with Johnny, but I'll be honest, I always wanted to know about you, but I never had the guts to ask and about the family, after we divorced I never got married, I had a few girlfriends but nothing else.
Tory: So does that mean Robby Keene is single?
Robby: Yeah, what about you? I bet a beautiful woman like you must have been married a long time ago.
Tory: Not really, I'm single too, after we got divorced, well, I tried dating a few times, but it never worked out, mostly because of my… temper.
Robby: Oh, I understand.
They continue talking for some time, when Miguel and Samantha arrive at that restaurant.
Miguel: Here we are, so are you ready for a great dinner?
Samantha: Absolutely no karate, no rivalry, one night just for us.
Miguel: Exactly... (he looks around and finds Roby) hey, what do we know? Robby is here, let's go say hi to him.
They go to Robby, but when they get close, they realize that Tory is with him.
Robby: Miguel, long time no see you.
Miguel: What's up Robby king of second place Keene?
Samantha: What was that?
Miguel: Chill out, it's just a joke between stepbrothers.
Robby: Samantha, you're here too? It's so good to see you, I bet you remember Tory.
Samantha: Yes, of course I remember her.
Tory: More than you can imagine.
Samantha: So you two are going out together?
Robby: I'm actually on vacation now, so I decided to visit my dad, but since I was coming to the Valley I thought about calling Tory to talk to her for a bit, I can't believe we happened to come to the same place as you two.
Miguel: I'm as surprised as you are, but tell me something Robby, have you been training karate since we last saw each other?
Robby: Karate? yes, I train from time to time what about you?
Miguel: You have no idea, did you know that Tory reopened Cobra Kai?
Robby: Really?
Tory: Yes, but don't worry, my Cobra Kai is different from Silver's.
Miguel: Wait, there's still more, do you believe that soon after that Samantha reopened the dojo just to compete with Tory?
Samantha and Tory: It's nothing like that.
Samantha: I'll tell you how it happened.
Tory: Me too.
Some time later:
Robby: So let me get this straight, your students (Tory) were beating up a girl, so you (Samantha) saved the girl and she asked you to train her, so you started training her, she beat up a bully from school, your dojo received several students, your dojos faced each other in the tournament, with a student of yours (Samantha) winning the male tournament and a student of yours (Tory) winning the female tournament, in the end Cobra Kai won, so you called Miguel and the Binary Brothers to help train your students, you then renamed the dojo to The Karate Kids and Tory called Piper, Kenny and Kyler to help train her students, I forgot something?
Miguel: No, that's basically it, crazy, isn't it?
Robby: Do you realize you're making the same mistakes as Daniel and Johnny?
Samantha and Tory: She started.
Tory: You're the one who started, beating my students.
Samantha: I would never have done this if they weren't attacking Kate.
Tory: This has nothing to do with Kate, it all started long before that, when you accused me of stealing your mother's wallet.
Samantha: I made a mistake, I'm human ok? but tell me what you would think if you heard someone say they stole a bottle of vodka from the bar and then your mother's wallet disappeared, what would you think?
Miguel: Robby, can you help me? I can't come to a conclusion, are they too different or too similar?
Robby: Good question, I think they just hate each other because they see at the other, characteristics of themselves that they don't like.
At that moment Samantha and Tory look at Robby and think 'could he be right?'
Samantha: What about you two? why didn't you work out?
Tory: It's a long story.
Robby: But we can sum it up in one word, jealousy.
Tory: Give me a break, ever since Miguel kissed Samantha at that party I've been a little insecure.
Miguel: Look, that wasn't Samantha's fault, she was drunk and I should have said something too because I was dating you at the time.
Robby: See? Did you see how everything could be easier if you just sat down and talked?
Samantha: You're right Robby, you know, my niece talked about this with me a few weeks ago, maybe it's time we turned the page, I mean please we're 48 year old women fighting over things that happened 30 years ago.
Miguel: Like father like daughter.
Tory: I hate to say this, but I think you're right, a lot of innocent people are getting hurt because of us, I think it's really time for both of us to move on.
Samantha and Tory shake hands.
Samantha and Tory: But remember, that doesn't mean we're friends... great, I'm glad we agree on this... will you stop imitating me?... me? You're the one imitating me...
Robby: Yeah Miguel, I had my doubts, but it looks like your plan worked, we should do this more often.
Miguel: I agree, it was great to see you again man (his phone starts to ring)... sorry, I have to leave, they need me at the hospital, see you around.
Miguel leaves the restaurant, gets in the car and hurries to the hospital.
Miguel: What happened?
Doctor: Dr. Diaz, we just got this kid, from what his friends said he was stabbed and kicked down the stairs.
Miguel looks at the boy and is shocked to find out who he was.
Miguel: Victor?!
What now? just when things looked like they were going to get better this happened, what happened to Victor? could Cobra Kai have something to do with this? what do you think will happen? Find out in the NEXT CHAPTER.
