It has been years since Daniel Larusso seen his ex-foe, Johnny Lawrence. He couldn't contain the giddy feeling inside as he went out his way to giving the man simple compliments and a "family" discount. He knows he was coming off a little strong for someone who hasn't seen their former bully in years. Although, he had grown past that and know that Johnny was not at fault, remembering that it was him who also congratulated Daniel at the tournament. So much has changed as he was biting his lip while looking at Johnny's face. Daniel thought he didn't look too bad as he gifted him with a bonsai tree before Johnny left. Once he is way to the office, he wished he could've gotten Johnny's number before it was too late.
However, they were to meet again as he found out about Cobra Kai. He was pissed and wondered why would Johnny go through lengths to bring it back. It sent chills down his spine, remembering the fights he had to overcome.
Sam brought her date, Kyler over as it was just her, him, and Daniel. Amanda who is now his ex-wife was away on vacation and their son, Anthony was at his friends house so they couldn't come. So the dinner between the three was awkward. Once Daniel listens to Johnny's little fight with Sam's date. He left to go give Johnny a piece of his mind after Kyler left and Sam was going to bed.
He parked in the lot and walked into the soon-to-be dojo. Daniel and Johnny were going back and forth before Miguel came asking a quick question. Johnny answered his question before Miguel put his earphone back in his ear and left to the storage room to clean. Daniel asked if they can talk in office instead like two grown adults. Johnny grumbled and led the way as it didn't help. They were having a civil conversation before arguing again.
"Honestly Johnny, why bring back Cobra Kai? Especially after what Kreese did to you as we both know he wasn't too nice that you were in second place or stood up for yourself"
Johnny didn't know what to say since he forgot that Daniel was there when it happened. He couldn't look at Daniel in the eye as he stared at the Cobra Kai logo that was on his desk. Hearing the voices of his old friends telling Kreese that he was killing Johnny.
"It probably would be a mistake to bring back cobra kai, but I'm not kreese. Or do you think I'll be a shitty sensei like he was?"
"I think If you're guiding students to a path that they can count on and not use the same mindset that Kreese used onto his old students...I think you'll do great Johnny"
Johnny grinned and let out a chuckle a little since they aren't arguing. Daniel did make a comment about the dojo as he asked, "What do you think a dojo should look like, Larusso?"
"I don't know I haven't been in a dojo for a long time"
They laughed and slowly catch up on each others life. When Johnny offered a Coors to Daniel, their hands brushed against each other when Daniel accepted the offer. When Johnny asks him about Facebook, it shocked Daniel because he never thought that Johnny didn't know. It turns out the Johnny is years behind in today's modern world as Johnny set Miguel home before they make a quick run to Best Buy.
Johnny was looking at every electronic, trying to see which one looks "badass" as Daniel was amused on what he was seeing. In the end, Johnny got a nice laptop and phone that was going to be a long process. Daniel left a message for sam so she wouldn't be worried if she wakes up, wondering where he was. They head to Johnny's place and Daniel didn't know what to say.
