Full of anger, Miguel practices his punches waiting outside of the All-Valley Tournament. The kids from Cobra Kai are waiting for Sensei Lawrence to show up, but one of the kids thinks he might not show up, as Johnny was seen extremely drunk the night before. As Hawk is saying that they’ll just have to do the tournament without their sensei, Johnny walks up, saying he never backs out. Johnny says he needs to teach them the last rule of Cobra Kai: No mercy. He explains that life shows no mercy, and gives examples from his own life, including his recently set-on-fire car.

Sam and Daniel decide to sit at home instead of going to the All-Valley Tournament. Amanda comes in and says she doesn’t want to go by herself. Since LaRusso Auto is one of its biggest sponsors, someone from LaRusso needs to show up to the event. Sam tells her father that she’ll go if he wants to. Sam says everyone she knows will be there, and Daniel points out that it is the 50th anniversary. They head to the tournament, and Daniel says they’re only staying for a few matches. Daniel walks in to applause, as a former champion. He sees a banner of himself in his youth.
