With Miguel finally home, he could finally start his physical therapy and start to relearn how to walk. Rachel was glad because he was getting closer and closer to his "normal". However, she didn't know how to tell Miguel what had happened with Cobra Kai.

"Sam, they've been practicing forever. Give  'em a break." Rachel chuckled. Every other day, the Miyagi Do students would train with Rachel instructing them, any other day they were instructed by Sam.

"We have to be prepared to fight." She wasn't wrong, but they still needed a break.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rachel froze as she slowly turned around and saw Amanda.

"Uh...would you believe...study group?" Demetri asked, Amanda simply glared at him.

"Go home. All of you. Now!" Rachel rolled her eyes and grabbed her bag. She'd heard about Amanda and Daniel's decision about karate, and Rachel quite frankly disagreed but Rachel could also understand why they decided the way they had. Amanda hadn't noticed that Rachel was there until she walked up to Sam.

"I'm gonna be helping my dad with what strategies he thinks will help Miguel relearn to walk, call me if you need anything." Rachel sighed as she turned and saw Anthony beside Amanda. She held out her fist and gave Anthony a fist bump. "See ya, Ant-Man." She turned and walked away, not saying a thing to Amanda. Amanda thought that Rachel was mad at her, but Rachel just didn't want to answer Amanda's daily questionnaire.

When Rachel got home, Johnny bombarded her with questions. They didn't quite make sense, but Rachel answered them as best she could. Apparently, Miguel had given up. He didn't believe he would ever walk or feel the bottom half of his body ever again.

"Dad, I don't know how I can help you motivate Miguel. You can tell him over and over that he'll get better, but he doesn't have any faith in himself." Her dad sighed, flopping onto the couch.

"I waved a Playboy magazine in his face, I was sure that'd get him motivated." Rachel grimaced, out of the three of them, Miguel, Johnny, and Rachel, only one of them was alive when Playboy magazines were popular. The simple thought of it made Rachel want to throw up.

"I didn't need to know that." Her dad shrugged, he didn't seem to care.

"What else can I do?" Rachel sighed, hadn't she just told him that she didn't know?

"I," she huffed, "I don't know, Dad." Suddenly her phone started to ring, and from the ringtone playing she knew it was Sam. "Hello?"

"Rach, Cobra Kai's messing with Chris at his work." Rachel pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Well, this is yours and all of Miyagi Do's chance. Remember what I said? You can't fight them at school, you gotta fight them outside of school?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah."

"This is your chance to show them you can't be pushed around," Rachel responded as her dad stared at her, probably wondering what she was talking about.

"What about you?" Sam asked, causing Rachel to furrow her eyebrows.

"What about me?"

"Aren't you gonna help us?" She asked, Rachel, sighed. Of course, she wanted to help Sam, but Miguel needed her right now.

"I have to help Miguel right now." Sam groaned.

"Can't you help him some other time?" Rachel scoffed.

"No, I can't, Sam, I can help you guys some other time." Rachel rolled her eyes as she hung up on Sam. "Fucking bitch." She muttered, hearing her dad chuckle.
