Tori trains with Kosen visibly unaffected. He’s asking for more from All Valley Champion, and he thinks it’s a lot better than this. She is clearly troubled.

Terry Silver invites “Sensei Joe” to his house for drinks and dinner. Tory needs to talk to Silver, however, and demand payment from him to judge the All Valley Tournament. Tori threatens if she has shared this with anyone else. She replied, “Not yet.” He did it for Cobra Kai, reassured her, and she still won the fight and is the champion. The whole valley knows this. He manipulates her further by bringing up her relationship with Chris (Martin Cove), and adds that he understands that she has had a difficult life, and has always had to work her way up to the top.

Daniel (Ralph MacchioShouzin helps try on a suit to dinner with Terry Silver. “Sensei Joe” has already made contact with the ghoul businessman and Daniel is astonished that they effortlessly removed the fleece above Silver’s eyes.

The two toasted his plan for world domination.
Robbie and Johnny arrive at the club where Miguel enjoys tequila shots with Hector. The guard tells Hector that the club has unwanted intruders. Hector demands to know who Miguel spoke on the phone earlier in the day, but Miguel made it clear that he was checking on his mother. Hector grows angry, and asks if Miguel is following him and if he’s with the feds. He takes Miguel’s phone and starts scrolling through his photos. Johnny and Ruby come and are picked up by Hector; They both wear matching FBI shirts. Hector pulls Miguel away while a group of thugs moves on Johnny and Ruby from all sides. They confront Johnny and a fight erupts. Johnny loses to a younger, more skilled MMA fighter until he cheats and plays dirty – with chili.
Hector and Miguel arrived at an empty store and went inside. Hector tells Miguel that he needs to stay low for a while, maybe he thinks Johnny and Robbie were real from the FBI. He tells a tale – similar to that of Icarus – about burning your wings from getting too close to the light, but uses them to discuss his relationship with women. Telling Miguel that it was a mistake, he almost married his mother, and has no regrets about the life he chose. Distraught, Miguel says he needs to go, call his mother crying, and apologize to her.

Tori brought the trophy to the club and accepted the Terry Silver deal, but after she left, Shouzin arrived.
