To overcome John Kreese (Martin Kove) and his cobra kai dojo in the upcoming All Valley tournament, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) decide to work together and teach their students together. Kreese also decides to recruit some help and contacts his old war buddy, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). Robbie (Tanner Buchanan) crashes at the cobra kai dojo for a few days where Kreese and Tory (Peyton List) try to convince him to join them but he remains reluctant. Johnny and Daniel decide to learn each other styles themselves to have a better understanding between them. Kenny (Dallas Young) joins in the middle of the school year as the new kid but hes bullied by Anthony LaRusso (Griffin Santopietro) and his friends from the first day. He tells his older brother who is in juvenile detention who points him towards Robbie for help. Tory is trying to support her family with multiple jobs and Amanda (Courtney Henggeler) visits her at work one day to insist that she stay away from her daughter, Sam (Mary Mouser). Tory loses her cool and her job in the process, and Amanda gets a visit from Kreese later on who tells her to back off from Tory because she's got a rough life.
