![]() ![]() Thoughts on the Season 4 premiere? Grade the episode, then drop ’em in the Comments below.The world of professional wrestling is a weird one, and part of its allure has always been just how weird it's willing to be. Looks like the guy’s still got some moves after all. In the last shot of the episode, Silver roundhouse kicks a bottle of wine in his basement. ![]() Johnny and Daniel give each other proud looks, and tell the kids they approve. He and the rest of the students are building an Okinawan sparring deck. When Johnny and Daniel go to break the news to the kids, Hawk is battering the fence with a mallet. And he’s going to teach them the art of Miyagi-Do. Robby gives the Cobras a pep talk, saying that to defeat the enemy, it helps to know the enemy’s playbook. When Robby tries to walk, she tells him to stay. Most of them fail, thanks to Robby’s use of Miyagi-Do defense, but Tory finally lands a kick straight to his face. He says if any one of them can land a hit on him, he’ll bounce. ![]() When Robby finally suits up at Cobra Kai, the rest of the dojo is immediately standoffish. They agree to tell the kids they’re splitting up. But Johnny doesn’t want to give up the Eagle Fang name, leading Daniel to wonder how their deal is ever going to work. For the sake of the students, Daniel wants Johnny to officially join Miyagi-Do, so they can all be on the same page. For now, it’s a no for Silver, but we all know that’s bound to change.ĭaniel visits Johnny to apologize for them getting off on the wrong foot, and since he brought beer, the two have a sit down. ![]() But after the ’80s ended, he gave up the nose candy, got some therapy and straightened himself out. But Silver turns him down, stating that he can’t believe he spent months terrorizing a teenager over a karate tournament. “I need a partner and the only other person who knows how to teach Cobra Kai is you,” Kreese says. He also tells Silver that Johnny and Daniel have teamed up, which flabbergasts Silver. The disrespect they were shown as veterans is why they started Cobra Kai in the first place, and Kreese wants to continue to teach the next generation. Kreese crashes a party at Silver’s house, and tells his former ally that he wants “to finish what we started.” Silver seems pretty content to chill at his beachside mansion, so of course Kreese brings up Vietnam. He doesn’t want to be a pawn in the conflict between Kreese and Johnny, which really just serves as a starting point for Kreese to begin his inevitable brainwashing. When Robby shows his face, he makes it clear he’s not joining the villainous dojo. Over at Cobra Kai, Tory can’t get her fight with Sam out of her head. It’s clear this is not one happy family, despite Sam and Miguel’s efforts to keep everyone together. Even Daniel loses his patience with him, telling him he burned bridges with almost everyone there, which causes Hawk to storm off in frustration. Additionally, not all of the students are accepting of Hawk’s return. But as Johnny’s loud obscenities irk Daniel, we see the tension already rising between the karate masters. While Johnny lets the kids practice leg sweeps on Hawk (sorry, Hawk, you kind of deserve that), Daniel teaches breathing techniques. While Daniel is once again teaching wax-on, wax-off, Johnny tells his “maggots” that “the best defense is more offense.” (Classic Johnny.) But it’s clear from the jump that Daniel and Johnny’s ideologies couldn’t be any more different. With the tournament just a few months away, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been, as the newly merged dojos prepare for battle. Cobra Kai Season 4: EPs Talk Johnny and Daniel’s Partnership, Sam/Tory Rivalry That’s ‘Never Been Hotter’Ī new era has sprung at Miyagi-Do, where old rivalries don’t need to last forever, according to Daniel. ![]()
