I wheeled into dad's place and saw him smiling at his laptop and I moved towards the fridge and grabbed myself a banquet and popped the cap off before wheeling over next to him and saw he was stalking mom's old friend Alli Mills and chuckled
Johnny: What're you up to these days?
Jack: Why you stalking your ex's profile page
He jumped looking towards me and I chuckled a little and he showed me the finger and I returned the gesture back to him
Jack: Aren't you banging Miguel's mom? 'Cause I know you're not gonna bang mine, I'll kick your ass like I kicked LaPusso's ass.
He chuckled shaking head and sighed looking back to the and read the last part of the message and looked up
Johnny: What're my up to these days?

At the Cobra Kai dojo Mitch was explaining to the others that weren't at the laser tag fight about what went down
Mitch: Man, it was crazy. Tory kicked ass. I took care of Chris.... Oh we also took care of that traitor Miguel and Hawk got that beta Demetri in an arm bar like Chris Jericho and just... *Mimics arm breaking* Cold-blooded.
Hawk smile slipped for a minute before giving out a fake smile when the others patted him on his shoulder and he dapped Red
Mitch: No Mercy!
Red: Way to go, Hawk.
Tory: You know I didn't think you were actually gonna do it/
Hawk: Yeah, well they got what they deserved for what they did to Jack.
He noticed she lost her smile at the mention of Jack's name
Hawk: You still haven't seen him yet, have you?
Tory: I don't wanna talk about it.
Hawk: Well, his out of the hospital, just telling you incase you might want to check up on him
She nodded and walked away and Hawk looked towards the dojo's entrance and saw someone that made his blood boil in anger and also freeze in fear. And he growled lowly looking straight at Kyler and his fat friend. Remembering how they used to bully him about his scar
Kreese: Class. Welcome our new students.
Mitch walked over to the new recruits and pointed between Kyler and Brucks
Mitch: I'm gonna call you guys, uh... Chodenose and Taintbreath.
Kyler: The hell you just say?
Mitch: Oh, uh, nothing. It's just a thing we do around here sometimes.
Kyler faked him and Mitch flinched moving back to the others scared while Hawk walked over to Kreese who had his arms on the hem of his gi's shirt looking over the new recruits
Hawk: Sensei, I don't think these guy's are Cobra Kai material.
Kreese: Weren't you the one saying that we should get some new recruits?
Hawk: Well, yeah. But... look, I know some of these guys and they're--
Kreese: Natural Athletes. Which is exactly what's been missing in our dojo. *Looks to the class* Everyone fall in.
Hawk bowed and joined the others and Kreese looked towards the new recruits
Kreese: Joining Cobra Kai is a privilege. It's not a gift. Why is why our recruits must earned their position in this dojo. Prepare yourselves for Combat, only the strong will survive.
Hawk looked behind him and towards Kyler who's lit up recognizing him and Hawk looked back to the front while Kyler smirked at him.

Johnny pulled the rope while Jack sighed hating this idea as he looked down saw his lower half in the babyholder and sighed again annoyed that his father put him inside this thing what's worse is that Miguel was here
Johnny: You ready?
Jack: I hate this. This is ridiculous.
Miguel: You kept saying that when we forced you into the holder
Jack: How about you shut the fuck up? *Looks at Johnny* What's he doing here again?
Johnny: He's my student and this was supposed to be training time with him, but I chose to help you instead
Jack nodded and gestured towards the beer bottle and Johnny handed him the beer and he took a gulp from it and shook his head
Jack: But seriously don't I look like a giant baby to you guys?!
MIguel: The way you are whining and walking you might as well be a baby.
He looked behind him and glared at Miguel
Jack: What'd you say, Diaz? Hmm?
Miguel: Oh, uh, uh...
Jack: That's what I thought. *Looks back at Johnny* And isn't there a more badass way we could do this?
Johnny: You think tapping your foot at a concert makes you ready for badass training? Your legs are still pussies! Now, you ready to stand?
Jack: Yes.
Johnny: One. Two. Three... Go!
He released the rope and Jack fell to the ground while Miguel laughed quietly
Johnny: All right. Better fall that time. Let's take five.
Jack crawled to the coffee table and leant on it looking at the laptop and Miguel did the same except he was sitting on the couch
Miguel: You know, uh, mom's been talking about you a lot recently. There's nothing going on between you two, right?
Jack: *Chuckles* You writing a novel?
Johnny: No, it's a Facebook message.
Miguel: That? To who?
Jack: Ali Mills. He's old ex.
Miguel: *Looks at Johnny* Ali? Like, the Ali? This is huge. This is huge!
Jack: Calm down there, Hermano. But seriously you're not sending this to her, right?
Johnny looked at both of them and they shook their heads
Jack/Miguel: You cannot send her that message.
Johnny: Why not?
Jack: Because that thing's ,like, 80 pages. In all caps.
Miguel: Yeah. And it's like you're writing a novel.
Johnny: I have 30 years' worth of stuff to say, all right?
Jack: OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. But shorter messages are way cooler. Like this just look desperate and a little bit on the creepy side. Sending her this would be like if you... like if you liked all her pictures.
Johnny looked up from the laptop and Jack sighed so did Miguel
Jack: Oh no. Oh no!
Johnny: What the hell, man? I enjoyed the photos! And there's a button for exactly that. why would I not click on it?
Miguel: Because she can see that.
Johnny: *Sighs* All right, I got amped-up, OK? Look, she put a smiley face. It's even got little red cheeks. Is she gettin' hot? Feelin' hot? What am I supposed to do with that?
Jack: I think it's just a smiley face, let's see. OK, she says she wants to know what you've been up to.
Miguel: Good, this is good. We can salvage this. Let's just make you a kick-ass profile. You'll be sending your message from position of strength.
Jack: I mean, first we need to get some pictures. Do you have any photos?
Johnny: Yeah, photos?
Jack: Yeah.
Johnny: Yeah, don't move
Jack: Ha-ha, fuck you.
Johnny: *Chuckles* I said "Don't move!*
He sighed shaking his head as Miguel chuckled before he went quiet from glare Jack sent his way

Back at the Cobra Kai Dojo everyone was preparing for combat and Hawk walked towards a corner flags in hand before he looked up when he saw Kyler and Brucks walked up to him and they both recognized him
Kyler: Holy shit! You remember? Look, bro it's the kid with the lip! Yo, I thought he moved.
Brucks: Oh, shit. You're right! Right. Whoa!
Kyler: Dude!
Brucks: The haircut kinda distracts you from the lip!
Kyler: *Laughs* Wait.. if his here, where's Rhea and Lawrence
Both Brucks and Kyler looked around kind of afraid if Jack was here before they sighed in relief that he wasn't here
Kreese: Alright, class. Let the games begin
He walks up the mat and looked around at the new recruits before pointing at Kyler who was smirking cockily
Kreese: You.
Brucks: Ooh. All right bro, you got this.
Kreese looks behind him and laughs before gesturing towards Mitch
Kreese: You.
He stepped off the mat and both Mitch and Kyler stepped into the middle of the dojo
Kreese: Ready? Ai!
Mitch got the first strike in kicking Kyler square on his nose and the boy would regret it later on
Kyler: Now you're dead.
Mitch tried punching him and Kyler dodged all his attacks before slamming him to the ground hard before death rolling them over keeping a hold of the boys neck and locked in a sleeper hold which forced Mitch to tap
Kreese looked towards Hawk before looking at Kyler who stood up
Kreese: Finish him.
Kyler grabbed him by his gi and punched him in the face hard before walking back to his spot and Mitch stood up walking back to his before Kreese stopped him
Kreese: Where you going?
Mitch:To my spot.
Kreese: You lost to an untrained fighter. He's going to take your spot on the team
Mitch looked from Kyler back to Kreese before looking at Hawk
Hawk: Sensei, Assface has been loyal to the dojo.
Kreese: I'm afraid he's not... Cobra Kai Material. I told you only the strong will survive.

Jack sat in his wheelchair trying not to laugh at the photos
Johnny: Those are the only photos I have. Don't have much after high school.
Jack: Ok, um...
Miguel: Do you have any where you're wearing a shirt?
Jack: And don't look like a tanned surfer?
Johnny: Yes *Picks up a picture* How's that?
Miguel: Oh, wow, that's...
He handed the picture to Jack who chuckled at it before laughing a little and sighed looking straight at Johnny
Jack: You know, we're probably just better off going with some new pictures
Miguel: Yeah
Johnny: Yeah, like present day?
Jack: *Nods* Mmm.
Johnny: *Thinks for a moment* Yeah, not sure I want you guys to grease me up right now. baby oil gets over everything.
Jack: We're not gonna grease... Oh My God! Now the image is stuck in my head.
Miguel: What he was gonna say was maybe we should go with something more contemporary. Yeah?
Johnny: *Snaps Finger* Yes! We'll look at what Ali's into, take pictures of me doing the same stuff!
Miguel: That's not exactly what I meant.
Jack: Why'd you say that?!
Johnny: I'm not doing yoga
Jack: Oh my God.
Johnny: I will pet a dog
Miguel: Mm-hmm
Johnny: You think the aquarium will let get in with the dolphins?
Jack: I don't know.
Johnny: You know what we could Fotomat it.
Miguel: What?
Johnny: All right, Diaz. Let's go, Hot wheels. C'mon.
Jack: No! Nope, I'm not gonna be apart of this disaster! Let go of me!
He tried grabbing onto the doorframe but lost his gripping when Miguel wheeled him out by force

Back at the dojo Tory was up against one of the new recruits and she blocked her before shoving her away ducking under a right hook before getting down on one knee and kicked the recruit's leg in before kicking her across the face
And she got up kicking the recruit in the face once more
Girl: You chipped my tooth, bitch.
Tory: You needed braces, anyway.
Kreese: Good job, Nichols. *Looks at the recruit* You know the drill off the mat
Brucks: Damn girl. *looks at kyler* You see that?
Kreese: You. Big boy.
Brucks stepped up on the mat excitedly looking around
Bruck: *Chuckles* All right! Who's going down down next? Huh? You? Come on.
Kyler: Let's go.
Hawk: He's mine
Hawk glared at Brucks handing the flags to red and stepped into the middle of the mat and over to the other side his back facing Brucks who chuckled before he stopped when Hawk took off his shirt and saw his hawk tattoo
Hawk smirked and turned around showing off his new reaper tattoo and Brucks looked scared and Kreese for the kids to put down the flags and Hawk looked to him waiting for the signal and Kreese
And Hawk rushed at Brucks hit him with a kick across the face giving Brucks no time to block or dodge, Hawk started his onslaught landing punch after punch before Brucks tried tackling him to the ground but he moved out the way grabbing onto the hood of his shirt and started pummeling him in the face with forearm after forearm Brucks tried to cover up but it was no use as his arms were shoved away and Hawk went back to assaulting
He smirked grabbing him in a lock before he started laying knee after knee into the big guy's side before turning him letting go of him and Brucks tried pleading with him
Brucks: Wait. Stop.
He tried grabbing him before he was slammed onto the ground and Hawk got on top of him and right before Kreese could say anything he started punching him with every hit he roared out remembering how they used to bully him and everyone winced at the impact of every punch
He got up his hands covered in blood and spat on his blood covered face before looking over at Kyler and walked over to him and stood in front of him glaring at him daring him to say something but he didn't and he smirked and stood in his spot
Kyler looked towards his friend laid out on the mat groaning weakly before he looked when Kreese spoke
Kreese: All right, class I think we can all call it a day. Somebody pick him up.
He walked to his offce and Hawk looked at Kyler once more before he scoffed and walked to his locker

Back with Jack, Miguel and Johnny. Johnny sat pretending as though he was reading while Miguel took a picture of him and Jack shook his head eating some potato chips
Johnny: All right. You get it?
Miguel: Got it.
Johnny: Let me see it. Alright looks good, let's go.
He threw the book in the trash Jack shook his head again.
Before the scene switched to them at an art gallery and posed for a picture and Miguel took it while Jack laughed at Johnny's pose
Before it switched to them recording a video
Miguel: No, no, no. Don't touch it.
Guard: Sir, excuse me?
Johnny: Wha.. Yeah, sorry. Didn't know.
Jack: *Laughs* Stupid bitch.
Scene too them going to taking pictures and Jack wheeled away with Johnny walking away from the wall
|||||
They sat at sushi restaurant and Jack sighed as Johnny stabbed a dragon roll with a chop stick
Miguel: That's one way to do it.
Johnny: What the hell is this shit?
Jack: It's dragon roll. So basically you have some fresh avocado, so chopped up cucumber, some snow crab , and unagi on the top. My favorite sushi
Johnny: Un-what? "Unagi"?
Jack: Yeah, its freshwater eel.
Johnny: Eel? People actually eat that crap?
Jack: It's very popular. Just have an open mind
Johnny: Alright, Diaz take the picture, ready?
Miguel: Yeah
Jack took the plate with the rest of dragon rolls and ate them while they took the picture right after they were done spit the dragon roll out from his mouth and wiped it
Johnny: All right, I'm gonna go wash my mouth, all right?
Johnny stood up and walked inside leaving Jack and Miguel at the table the former who was busy eating and Miguel busy looking through the pictures they took.
???: Jack?
Said boy looked up and so did Miguel who looked scared and they both saw Tory in uniform who was looking directly at Jack.
Jack: Tory.
Tory: How'd you know I work here?
Jack: I didn't. I thought you worked at the roller rink.
Tory: No, that's at night. I gotta work to jobs now. Mom's not doing well
Jack: I-I'm sorry.
Tory: No, I'm sorry.
Tory sat in the chair opposite him while Miguel stood up
Miguel: I'm just gonna... yeah.
They both looked at each other
Tory: I... I know that I should've com to see you more often. I didn't know how to help.
Jack: So you did nothing.
Tory: .... I just felt guilty about everything. But we're doing everything we can to get back at Miyagi-do for what they did to you. It's like Sensei Kreese says, "If one of us gets hurt, we all get hurt"
Jack: Nobody else got hurt, Tory. I'm the one in a wheelchair.
Tory: Yeah, I just meant---
Jack: I know what you meant. *SIghs* I never cared about Miyagi-do or Kreese, I cared about us.
Tory: Did you? Or were you just going out with me to get Amy's attention?
Jack: Is that what you really think?
Tory: I saw you two at the party. I didn't have a choice.
Jack: Yes you did, Tory! Besides I never kissed her. I care about you, Tory. But if you don't see that... that's your problem. Nice seeing you
Tory: Jack...
He didn't give her a chance to speak and wheeled away from the table

The next day at Cobra Kai, Kreese walked into his office with his duffel bag and set it down on the cabinet before he walked over to his desk and looked over to a picture of him, Terry Silver and Ponytail
And a memory of him in vietnam played showing how he lost one of his best friends before he looked towards the main dojo when he heard the shop bell jingle indicating someone walked into the dojo and he walked out his office and into the main dojo and saw Armand walk up to him
Kreese: What do you want?
Armand: Look, you pay your rent on time, but, unfortunately, I got a much higher offer for this space. So, uh... you can't rent here anymore.
Kreese: What about our contract?
Armand: Ah, well. All my contracts have escape clauses. And I have eviction papers.
He showed them the papers and Kreese chuckled
Armand: Uh, so... you have to leave today.
Kreese: *Crosses his arms* That's not happening.
Armand: *Sighs* Erik! Grigor!
The shop bell jingles and in walked in two men who walked over to stand beside Armand
Armand: My nephews are going to help you leave. Whether you like it or not.
Kreese: *sighs* I just cleaned the blood off that mat. Oh, well.
Armand backed up and Kreese took his jacket off
||||||
Back at the apartments in Johnny's Jack fell to the ground and he grunted
Johnny: Focus!
Johnny hoisted him up with the rope and Jack sighed grumbling under his breath
Johnny: Oh, come on. This is worse than yesterday! You're not even trying. What's the problem? You saw your ex. Big deal.
Jack: Big deal? Dude look at you. We spent all day doing bullshit for your ex. Tryin to-- making you look like someone you're not. At least when I saw mine at least I told her how things really were!
Johnny: All right. Done with your little hissy fit or are you just giving up?
Jack: No, you are.
Johnny: What'd you say?
Jack: You're the one who's giving up!
Johnny: I don't know wh--
Jack: Quiet! You let Kreese take your dojo! You let Hawk, Tory and everyone else thin you're some pathetic weak idiot!
Johnny: Because it was a mistake to begin with I should've never brought back, Cobra Kai look what happened
Jack: You know what the mistake was? Me ever coming here thinking I needed a change of scenery! I had everything back in Long Beach. I had friends, I had my dojo, I had my first love. Everything was perfect until I came here, I lost my legs, my girlfriend thinks I don't care about her. I-I-I didn't care about you and LaRusso's rivalry. Heck you're training one of the kids who put me in a wheelchair! After this is done we go our separate ways...
Jack closed his eyes looking down while sighing shaking his head and Johnny looked at his legs wide eyed before he let go of the rope
Johnny: Jack...
Jack: What?
He looked up and saw Johnny wasn't holding the rope anymore and gasped before he started laughing he walked a little further and hugged Johnny who was smiling
Jack: Thank you.
Johnny: Nah, Thank you.

Over at Daniel's dealership, he and Amanda overlooked everything happy with the customers
Daniel: Looks like our ducks are finally in a row. The dealership's back on it's feet, Kreese's out of our lives. How shall we celebrate?
Amanda: I was thinking maybe, like, a banner that says "I told you so."
Daniel: Uh-huh. All right. Go ahead. Get it out of your system.
Amanda: I don't know babe all I know is that if I was around in '84, you probably wouldn't have as many stories to tell.
Daniel: Uh-huh.
Amanda: 'Cause I beat Cobra Kai in, what? One afternoon.
Daniel: I did save the dealership, don't I get a little cred?
Amanda: You get a little
Daniel's phone started ringing and he took it out from his pocket and saw it was Armand calling him
Daniel: Here we go.
Amanda: Oh, put it on speaker
He answered it and put it on speaker
Daniel: Hey, Armand.
Over at Cobra Kai, Armand was sat in the office chair and Kreese across from him wiping his hand clean of the blood with a towel
Armand: LaRusso. The deal is off.
[Amanda]: What? We had an agreement.
Armand: No, no, no, no. I can't get out of contract.
Kreese snatched the phone from him
Kreese: Hello, Danny boy. Nice try. But you can't end a war with diplomacy. So I suggest you prepare your students for battle. Because now... It's open season. On them... and you
Back at the dealership people started screaming and running out of the place
Man: Snake. Snake!
Kreese's pet Cobra slithered out from a car and around the dealership as both Daniel and Amanda looked at each other
