Amara walked out of the apartment and saw Miguel walking out to his moms car.

"Hey Miguel." She said, smiling.

"Ooh, someone seems cheer-y."

"I am very cheer-y. Amara told him, "I told Silver that I wasn't taking his shit and breaking his offer."

Miguel chuckled. "Good for you. So are you coming to the dojo?"

Amara sighed. "Uh, I'm not sure. I have to be at therapy in an hour."

"Therapy?"

"Yeah, there's no shame in hiding it now. LaRusso outed me in front of everyone." Amara explained as she placed her duffel bag in the trunk of the car.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" Miguel said, walking over to the blonde. Amara shut her trunk and gave Miguel her full attention. "Did you know your dad and my mom were dating?"

Amara looked at Miguel in shock. "So they finally told you?"

"You knew?"

"I heard them!"

Miguel showed an absolutely disgusting look on his face. "Oh... That's..." He was clearly at a loss for words.

"Fun? Exciting?" Amara questioned being one hundred percent sarcastic. "Yeah. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here."

"Thanks. I'm gonna need it."

Amara smiled as she walked around front and got into her car. "I'll see you later." She told him as she cranked the car and backed out of the apartments.

"Have you been this week?" Dr Owens asked the blond girl. "I noticed in your school profile that your last name has been updated to Lawrence. Congratulations."

Amara smiled. "Thanks. Everything has been great this week. I'm ready to shut down Cobra Kai and fight back."

Dr Owens nodded. "That's good. I'm glad you're finally finding yourself. Now let's talk about Jeremy."

"I'd rather not." Amara said, firmly. "You know, I'm starting to realize that you've not actually helped me do anything. It's like you're just trying to make a bubble in my life."

"Amara, I told you it was so I could help you."

"Yeah, when? I've been seeing you for at least six months." Amara spoke, "And you haven't exactly given me the guidance I need."

Dr Owens sighed. "Amara, I'm just-"

"Save it. You know what for once I got my life together. I have my father who believes in me. I finally have Emma's death passed me. And I have my one hell of a boyfriend back. So the only thing that seems to be pulling me down is-"

"Cobra Kai." Dr Owens interrupted.

Amara looked at Dr Owens and scoffed. "You."

"Now, why don't we try to make a deal here?"

"Oh, you wanna offer me a deal?" Amara questioned, "No, I'm done with deals. So in the words of you, 'Our time is up.'" Amara stood off the couch and began to leave Dr Owens's office.

Amara changed at the school and drove over to the warehouse Johnny was using to train the Eagle Fangs.

She walked in to hear Johnny talking to his students and some girl beside him. "This is Devon Lee, our new female champion."

"New champ?" Amara questioned. "Replacing me already?"
