"Because both Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai are one and one, whoever wins this match advances. And whoever loses is eliminated."

"All right. Remember, trust, tag, teamwork." Daniel says

"You got this. Who's in first?" Johnny asks

The teens then turn to Robby who nods with a small smile. They then break apart and take their place around the circle on the mat. As Robby steps onto the mat, Tory storms over. Jamie's brows furrow as she stands in front of Robby getting into position.
