While theyve gotten along well this season, theres something about their dynamic that feels fragile.
Its not the best time for Johnny to break the news to Miguel that hes dating his mom.
And when they sit him down to explain, he seems really understanding.
Sure, he feels a little awkward, but he just wants them to be happy.
Of course, that could never last.
Miguels support of the relationship was contingent on everything staying the same, but quickly Johnny makes it weird.
He makes Miguel exempt from Eagle Fangs latest brutal lesson on dirty tricks.
He even ruffles the kids hair.
Everything has changed, he says.
Its weird at class; its weird here.
Its hard not to see what he means.
The next day, Johnny pulls Miguel out of school for an honest conversation.
He admits he just doesnt know exactly how to do this, the new-parent thing.
Like you being my sensei.
Johnny says, his relief palpable.
Miguel says with a tearful laugh.
I may have teared up myself a little bit.
While Johnny has a good week connecting with students, Daniels struggling with his newest one.
(Soap on, crap off, he instructs.)
He was too young to know the most important mentor in Daniels life very well before he died.
Anthony seems newly inspired to start over with Kenny.
He wouldve kicked Anthonys ass, too, if a teacher didnt walk in.
But the stakes seem even higher with Kenny.
The two sensei of Cobra Kai have their own power struggles.
The lesson is that what your opponent is thinking is key.
Xolo Mariduena has really grown as an actor, and hes more believable than ever.
His performance in that final conversation with Johnny really touched me!
