"Daniel LaRusso. It's nice to see you again." For the first time in 34 years, Silver saw one of his old students, Daniel.

"Yeah, right. Bullshit." Daniel scoffed.

"Fair enough. I'd probably react the same way if I were you. My past behavior was... inexcusable. If I could go back and undo it all, I would. All I can say now is I'm truly sorry. And I assure you, I'm not that man anymore." Silver assured Daniel, and Julia and the Miyagi-Fang students opened the dojo doors to see their sensei and Silver.

"I don't know what padded room you crawled out of or what twisted game you two are playing, but if you don't get off my property right now, I swear to God..." Daniel seethed.

"Your dad is pissed. Who is that guy?" Miguel whispered.

"I have no idea." Sam answered.

"He looks like a Highlander." Bert said.

"The Highlander. There can be only one." Nathaniel reminded Bert.

"Okay. Okay, I tried. We'll still hold our students to a moratorium on fighting before the tournament, for what it's worth. Provided, of course, you do the same." Silver reminded Daniel.

"Just remember our deal. If Cobra Kai wins the All Valley, you two are done teaching. For good." Kreese reminded Daniel and Johnny.

"That's not gonna happen, 'cause you're not gonna win. Now get the hell out of here." Daniel stared daggers at Kreese and Silver.

"Has it really come down to this? Johnny Lawrence playing second fiddle to little Danny LaRusso?" Kreese asked Johnny. "No one's second fiddle. This is my dojo as much as it is his." Johnny reminded Kreese.

"Really? Sign out front says Miyagi-Do." Kreese reminded Johnny.

"Unless you want it crammed up your ass sideways, you'd better take off after your bridge partner." Johnny threatened, and Kreese chuckled as he and Silver walked to their car.

"Who the hell was that?" Johnny asked Daniel, referring to Silver.

"LaRusso can sure hold a grudge, can't he? So? What now?" Kreese asked Silver. "Now, we get to work. So we can wipe the mat with that arrogant little prick." With that, Kreese and Silver went into their car and drove off.

Meanwhile, at the Cobra Kai dojo, the Cobra Kai students were plotting their revenge, but in a more civilized way since no one was arguing and everyone was training. "They know you and I are the biggest threat. They also know we can't risk violating probation." Robby explained to Tory. "We need to get them somewhere no one is around." Tory replied.

"Listen up. Gather round." Silver ordered, and the Cobra Kai students stood on the mat. "We just had a little powwow with the senseis at Miyagi-Do. From here on out, there'll be no more fighting until the tournament."

"So our enemies get to humiliate us, and we have to back down and take crap from them?" Ellie asked.

"Of course not. We should always show our enemies no mercy." Kreese answered.

"But there's a time to fight. No need to waste a punch if it's not gonna score a point. So if your enemies do something to mess with you or laugh in your face, good! Take all that anger and store it. You're gonna need it when the time comes. Is that understood?" Silver asked.

"Yes, Sensei!" The students told him.
