In the aftermath of Cobra Kai's win at the Under 18 All Valley Karate Championships, Johnny questions his dojo's philosophy and deals with a figure from his past. Daniel searches for the right way to respond to Cobra Kai's dominance.
After Cobra Kai wins the All Valley karate tournament, an old "friend" comes to visit Johnny to see if he can help with training his students.
