We need to talk about how John Kreese is making money running the Cobra Kai dojo.
All you have to do is say yes and I will mold you into the ultimate weapon.
He then has the wrestler fight with Ass Face, who loses his match.
Kreese then kicks him out of the dojo.
Okay, okay, okay.
How does this guy make any money to pay that rent?
Is it because he is also living there and never changes his clothes so his expenses are low?
Kreese has Hawk battle the weight lifter who Ill call Pepperoni Combos.
Hawk starts pummeling him until his hands are covered in blood.
Wait, wait, wait.
So now Pep Combos is going to go home and say what to his parents?
I failed and he broke my nose and now I cant pay to be in his club.
What would his parents do in that situation?
Just be like, Oh, that makes sense.
You should be a better fighter?
Yes, that makes total sense.
She then invites Armand over, plies him with chicken cacciatore, and convinces him to evict Kreese.
The only problem is, Kreese kicks the snot out of Armands goons and stays in his dojo.
While this is all going down, were also gaining some empathy for Kreese and understanding what made him.
When theyre on a mission, his compatriot Ponytail (finally, a name!)
places a bomb but is caught by the enemy.
When Captain No Name tells him Its kill or be killed.
No mercy, hes right because it is literally a war.
No matter what you think about the Vietnam conflict, you could understand that battlefield mentality.
But cant Kreese see that has caused him nothing but harm in his life since hes been back?
Maybe the fog of the PTSD and the smell of Napalm in the morning is too much for him.
The best story of the episode, though, is what is going on with Johnny and Miguel.
I look like a baby, is there a more badass way to do this?
It turns out the more badass way has to do with Facebook.
(Also, there is definitely aSugarfish in the Valley, so he should get on that.)
Hes mad Johnny let Kreese take Cobra Kai and didnt do anything.
You helped a bunch of people and then walked away like a pussy, Miguel yells at him.
If you cant see that youre blind.
Miguel is so mad that he doesnt even realize hes standing up on his own.
Its another karate miracle.
He doesnt upload any of the phony pictures.
Instead he uploads all the pictures of him helping the kids.
Since then hes become a teacher trying to help get kids ready for the tough world out there.
Its so honest and sweet and true without being sappy that it brought a little tear to my eye.
In a classic Johnny move, he decides his message is way too long and deletes it all.
