Summary

Daniel and Johnny both find their own paths to training their students, with Kreese observing Johnny’s methods.

Our Take

Johnny’s rebuilding of Cobra Kai carries this episode, and William Zabka sells the scrappy, broke-teacher energy better than ever. Daniel’s counter-move into Miyagi-Do feels a bit rushed, but the rivalry setup pays off. Kreese lurking in the background adds an uneasy edge. A solid, funny hour that keeps season two’s momentum going without breaking much new ground.
