Plot Summary | Cobra Kai Season 2 Episode 4


New Faces at Cobra Kai


  • Johnny welcomes Tory Nichols, a tough new student with a chip on her shoulder.

  • Tory quickly proves herself during sparring, showing fearlessness and skill. She earns Johnny’s respect—but also stirs tension with Sam when their paths cross later.

  • Meanwhile, Kreese keeps whispering his ruthless philosophy to the students, especially Hawk, feeding their aggression.

Miyagi-Do Training


  • Daniel continues teaching Sam and Robby, emphasizing balance, discipline, and defense.

  • He introduces them to more unorthodox Miyagi-Do training methods (like chores), teaching that karate isn’t just about fighting—it’s a way of life.

  • Despite Daniel’s efforts, Miyagi-Do still struggles to gain popularity compared to Cobra Kai.


School Tensions

  • At school, Cobra Kai students—including Hawk and Miguel—show off their dominance.

  • A cafeteria incident highlights the growing rivalry between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do.

  • Miguel tries to make peace with Sam, but she remains distant, uncomfortable with the aggressive path Cobra Kai is taking.

Johnny’s Conflict with Kreese


  • Johnny starts to realize that Kreese’s presence is poisoning the atmosphere. Kreese manipulates students into thinking weakness is unacceptable, reinforcing “no mercy” at every opportunity.

  • Johnny pushes back, wanting Cobra Kai to be about confidence and strength, not cruelty. But Kreese subtly undermines him, planting seeds of doubt in the kids.

Ending—Rivalry Intensifies
