![]() ![]() She just got over her crippling fear of banisters and now it’s been reignited by this girl with fake Wolverine claws. ![]() Seeing Tory, who gave her a gnarly scar on her arm, reignites Sam’s PTSD. The Miyagi clan is doing a good job holding their own, until Tory shows up with reinforcements. Cheese next door, why don’t they just open that shit up and start charging for laser tag? Also, can we get these kids to fight in an abandoned roller rink next? I would really enjoy that. Not to sound like old man Johnny, but how do you let something as cool as a laser tag arcade go out of business? Secondly, if there is already a fake Chuck E. Sam shows up with Dimitri and the gang, and Chris tells them that they’re in the abandoned laser tag joint next door. I did not know.) They steal a bunch of prizes and make his life hell. (Apparently the tall, chubby Miyagi-Do student’s name is Chris. Hawk and the other Cobra Kais are squarely on the other side of that divide. ![]() After the guards pry them apart, we find out that neither of them snitched, and it looks like Kreese was right: Robbie earned the guy’s respect and will have an easier time in the pokey, even if he is on the wrong side of the moral divide. Jackie Chan would be so proud, if he didn’t think this kid was ripping off his moves. After dispatching the minions, he takes Juvie Bully out into the hall for some one-on-one karate action that even includes the classic move of running up the wall before he can get slammed into it. He jump-kicks Juvie Bully in the face and then throws the other two against the table. Later, taking Kreese’s words to heart, Robbie sees Juvie Bully and his minions (the beat-up kind, not the round yellow kind that eats bananas) sitting at a table. (Seriously, dude, can this election happen already so I stop getting harassed?) Just as he’s about to send Sam a love note, Juvie Bully pulls the plug from the computer so he can’t email. Robbie learns exactly this lesson when he logs on to the computer and his Gmail inbox is just a whole bunch of spam from the LaRussos, one email from his mom, and a daily email from Jon Ossoff asking for campaign contributions in Georgia. What exactly is the purpose of this conversation? Is he trying to recruit him to Cobra Kai? Um, did Kreese not notice he’s in teenage-after-school-special jail right now? Kreese leaves him with the parting words that, “All that Miyagi-Do mumbo jumbo might score you points in a tournament, but you’re in the real world kid, you might need to learn to strike first.” The episode starts with Kreese in juvie to talk to Robbie. The most disturbing story features the second generation of karate warriors. And it was more fun than Ben Affleck showing up at your Halloween party with Donnie Wahlberg and three boxes of Munchkins. An underground concert with an aging rock star, dog-eared bikini magazines, some old-man karate sparring, the mystical lost art of making someone’s limbs go limp, an almost prison riot, and an all-out karate battle in an abandoned laser tag arena: Was this an episode of Cobra Kai or a Stefan sketch? This episode had everything, as he would say. ![]()
