season 1, episode 8
"molting"Unfortunately for Cat, Eli was right and Demetri said he couldn't make it to the movies because of a school assignment, but had promised the girl that he would hang out with her soon. The girl was now in the theatre with her sitting in between Eli and Aisha with Miguel on the end with Aisha.
Eli was making his own fun as he was throwing candy into someone's popcorn bag in front of him, Cat had already told him to cut it out, but the boy didn't listen, so now she was focused on Miguel complaining about Sam again, just like she had been forced to do all day.
"I can't stop thinking about what Sensei told me about Sam's dad," Miguel told Aisha, right as Eli threw another piece of candy, this time it went into the popcorn bag and Cat giggled along with Eli.
"So sensei and sam's dad had some beef. What's that have to do with you?" Aisha asked.
"That's exactly what I said, this isnt some 80s movie Miguel," Cat butted into the conversation earning an eye roll from her twin.
"Do I have to spell it out for you guys? Sam's dad hates Cobra Kai. I'm part of Cobra Kai. So, by the transitive property, Sam's dad is gonna hate me," Miguel said.
"Jesus Christ, you're such a nerd," Eli said, Cat punched him in the arm, causing him to throw the piece of candy and hit the woman in front of them, Cat quickly turned away.
"Same was acting weird the other day when her dad walked by," Miguel said.
"Well maybe she's just trying to be careful with this new relationship, I mean she was dating Kyler not too long ago, you can't blame her for being cautious," Cat defended, Aisha hummed in agreement.
"Listen, I've known Mr. LaRusso since third grade. He's a really nice guy, you just have to talk to him,"Aisha said.
"I haven't even been invited over yet," Miguel scoffed, "she's probably too afraid to introduce me."
"Dude, just go over there," Eli said, "it's an alpha move." Cat looked at her boyfriend and laughed.
"Never say the word alpha again weirdo," she laughed and Eli glared at her which made her laugh a little louder and she gave him a quick kiss on the lips, completely changing his mood and making him smile. The boy threw another piece of candy, this time hitting a man a little further in front of them.
"Who the hell did that?" the man said as he got up to turn around, Eli acted quickly to look nonchalant by putting his arm around Cat and looking at the movie screen., Cat giggle as she hid her face into Eli's side, unknowingly making him smile brightly and blush.

Cat was left alone in her room while Miguel decided to go to Sam's house just like Eli said, although she was firmly against the idea. The girl was on facetime with Eli as they did their homework, she was also texting Demetri to tell him how terrible the movie they went to go see was, the boy telling her she should make a Letterboxd and follow him so they could review movies together, and she happily agreed.
"I dont understand chemical bonds, why would i need to know any of this in my future," the girl complained as she looked through her notes.
"I can just send you my answers if you need it," Eli said over the phone.
"No, it's fine, I just need to study more," the girl sighed.
"We could have a study date," Eli suggested and as the girl looked at her phone he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, the girl laughed "you're an idiot," she said the boy laughed with her.
"But seriously if you ever need help just ask," Eli said softly, Cat smiled at him.
"Thank you, I dont know what I'd do without my nerdy boyfriend," as the words left the girls mouth she heard something shattering outside. The girl got up and looked out her window seeing a couple guys hitting Sensei's car.
"Hey E, I gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow," the girl said quickly before hanging up before Eli could respond. The girl slid her chanclas on and ran out the door. By the time she got there her sensei was already fighting. The girl acted quick as she saw a man with a crow bar coming at him from behind as he fought another guy.
Cat grabbed onto the crow bar before it could make contact with her sensei and kicked the guy in the chest as she held his arm, once the man toppled over in pain the girl kicked him again in the head and pulled the crow bar out of his grasp, just in time for Johnny to grab it and knock the guy he was fighting out. The girl looked at her sensei as the two men were on the ground in pain. There was one man with a bat still up, the girl stepped closer to him but was stopped by her sensei, who started walking up to him next.
"Back up I got a bat man, Back up I got a bat!" the man shouted, and then swung on Johnny which he easily ducked and kicked the bat out of his grasp, the bat ended up rolling towards the girl and she quickly grabbed it and held it up defensively.
The man looked scared as Johnny pushed him back, and even more scared once he saw the girl behind Johnny holding up his bat.
"All right, look. Things got away from me, OK? Just calm down!" the man said before Johnny grabbed him by the collar.
"Where does Daniel LaRusso live?" her sensei asked, the girl suddenly realizing she's missing a lot of context to the events that just occurred.
"This is between us! It's got nothing to do with him! I made all that shit up. I'll take my licks like a man," the man pleaded.
"Hey asshole!" A voice from behind all of them said, as they turned around they saw one of them men that were previously knocked out with a lighter in his hand.
"Burn in hell," he said before throwing the lighter on Johnny's car.
"Oh shit!" the girl said as the car immediately burst into flames, the girl slowly looked back at Johnny and saw pure rage in his eyes
"Where does Daniel LaRusso live?" Johnny repeated a lot louder this time, and this time the man answered. "Encino Hills! Escalon Drive!"
Johnny let go of the man, and walked over to Cat.
"Thanks for the help kid, now get back inside call the fire department and say you just saw the car on fire and that's all, got it?" He asked, the girl just nodded, and let her sensei walk over one of the guy's motorcycles and speed off. The girl quickly running inside to do just what her sensei told her to.
