It is season 2 of Cobra Kai hereinafter. Most TV. We are talking episode 7, lull. There is so much crazy stuff happening this show. It's really heating up. We can't wait to talk to you guys about it. We'll see you in just one second you are tuned in to AfterBuzz TV the ESPN of tv top. Now look and we're back. We are we're back plus 1 here. I am here. I have arrived it would look at that headband. I am fucking Miyagi dough today. We needed Miyagi don't need to even out their numbers. Yeah. Yeah overwhelmed so they descend another troop. The last I recall we were able to take down quite a bit of Cobra Kai Xin episodes. I think Tammy was fun. Dad pine tree house early for sure. She was doing okay. So guys, I want to get right into the episode. There's a lot to talk about. This was a really exciting one first. I want to introduce my panel Michael clouse on the far end of the table. What is up? Everyone Tammy gouveia? Hi. We got Veronica Valencia in the studio. Hi there and what's going on guys? I am been Bateman. So this is episode 7 law. We start out in Coyote Creek. This is a challenge thrown down by Kris who's now starting to kind of, you know, take over the Takeover the tone of the dojo a little bit so against this whole Coyote Creek thing. Oh, yeah. It was so like really what is this is wrong the real world. It's funny because I like the concept as a game, but obviously they were way more Aggressive about achieving the goal, which was to get the headband. It's basically like capture the flag plus. Yeah. I really thought something bad was going to happen. I just kept feeling like this ominous feeling like something really bad is going to happen. But yeah, I mean it I mean something I guess sort of bad happened but not like bad happen. Like there's you know later stuff to talk about but but yeah, so you have this challenge out its Reds versus blacks and they and they decide to go at it. Now one one new character does emerge before the challenge starts and it's Stingray. He's crazy big fan of yeah, he's been a big fan. I initially was like, ah, I miss Li put him on the same level as Dimitri. Yeah. I was like, what? What about how you what give me tree? Yeah. Nobody likes to meet you. It's no wonder your Miyagi though. Um, you like to meet Ray? Yeah. Well, I think it's just I think it's more so I've really come to enjoy the kind of relation the rocky relationship between him and Hawk and kind of saying like, oh what once was a beautiful friendship of two of these two buddies is now, you know straining because it's fractured because Hawk is so consumed with never wanting to be weak and bullied again. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's fair and obviously we're in his ark so there's more to talk about but for this particular moment, I think we'll start. With Coyote Creek and so, you know Johnny's not totally comfortable with this. He doesn't love the idea of it. But Kris really wants to do it. So, you know, Kris goes to Miyagi dough. He decides to challenge Daniel and and tell him you know, there's a war coming Daniel has his line where he says, you know, I don't think of it war and then Kris says, you know piece is just a lull between battles this time. I won't let him lose war never ends Pieces Just the lull between Bell a great line. Yeah. So that's just mentally sick. Yeah, that's just wrong. I just him showing Yup. I just I still don't totally understand what the point is. Is he trying to rile up Daniel? Yeah, because it when he leaves he says give my regards to mr. Miyagi already Christmas sagaris making it very clear to Daniel that he has the power to fracture the two of them and move back in. Yeah and rightfully resumed his place in Cobra Kai for sure right kind of Cobra Kai the cigar it's 7 a.m. Is a power move. Holy mackerel power move 7 a.m. To go. Yeah that torch he was lighting the cigarette. Agharta, I'm not and I'm still in my life. Not a cigar guy tried really I've tried to be a cigar guy smell of cigars. Yeah, it's not experience. I really enjoyed those guys that likes to the cigars at all times. And there's a lot of them. It's a thing Sly Stallone. Yeah is a friend of Mariko. There's a guard guys. Yeah, but the Cognac and it's like a thing. Yes. I think it's all the wood and small type of feel to it. So so what this challenge that happens to the woods everybody's going at each other and I think the point of the scene is to really illustrate to us. That Johnny is not a big fan of this. He doesn't like the kind of killer be killed mentality Hawk totally buys and he loves it and Miguel and Tory. They're kind of like, you know, the couple ass-kicking that was pretty fun to watch. That was great. But ultimately what ends up happening after everybody's kind of had their moment is Hawk and Miguel have this head-to-head thing and Hawk two sides because he's a villain because he's the worst he's going to show off the Medal of Honor. Hmm. That's I like Hawk. He's awesome. But he's a total villain. I would 100% Yeah, and he shows off the Medal of Honor because like that's not cool man. That's like yeah. Well, I was just I think even that's an interesting relationship because we clearly see the Divide between Miyagi dough and Cobra Kai, but now we're starting to see The Divide between between excuse me within Cobra Kai itself. Whereas Hawk displays more of the ruthless. No mercy mentality that Kris is instilling in them. And Miguel is more of the you know, what we're going to be strong. We're going to be confident. We're going to kick ass, but we're also going to do it with honor. Just more Johnny's kind of hole Yeah, the old that's what Kris once he wants that divide because he will take those students that are on his team and and use them. Yeah. Yeah, Kris would rather have five loyal students. Then 20 here are their cold and it makes sense. He's I mean, he's a veteran he comes from the military. He wants a chain of command he wants to give an order and have his troops. Obey him right Johnny. He's not a soldier Johnny wants to be you want to apply these lessons to the real world and Kris is kind of still living in in war and battle hundred percent. Yeah, and I think the thing with Jonny is Johnny doesn't want to appear weak in front of his students. So like when Kris even brings this up and it's like if that's okay with Johnny, obviously it goes through him. What do you say that's such a yeah. I mean now you are empowered you already had students as we talked about in previous episodes leave because you didn't fight Daniel. Yeah, and now you're are you risking even more of a fraction if Say no to Kris and to have we had the moment between Chris and Miguel yet where Kris says to Miguel, you know, John, he's just a little confused. Is it have we had that moment yet? Right says to him where he's where I think Johnny's left right? I think he's gone on the road trip and we have not only happened because it's when Miguel apologizes and he said Johnny his hearts in the right place. He's looking he's worried help get him back on the right track because I had that moment of you know going back to who's going to be on team crease increase once Miguel and his team. Yeah, of course realizes fighter. Yeah realizes he's the best but he'll settle for Hogs. He can he's hawksbill nozzle. He wants to take away the thing that matters most to Johnny and that's Miguel. Yes. So Chip, you could also say he would want to take Robbie if he had the chance because Chris has consistently drawn on a throne to Johnny. Oh, you're not training your son. This is bad. It's more like get him here so I can take him. Yeah now I really appreciated though that Miguel takes the that he takes the Medal of Honor that he throws the punch that he and and that's what Johnny says like, I don't I didn't teach you to fight like that. You know, what is this? And then that's when he realizes he's got to get rid of Kris. There's a lot more talk about in this episode. So I think this little piece of that I want to make sure that we We kind of tie off with a bow hear him getting rid of Chris at the end. Yes. That's what I thought this could work. It can't get out. I never want to see you in this Dojo again. Yep. Increase hasn't loose in case you say something. I know he does on the door. Yeah. Were you surprised by that moment because actually did feel like Jonny Connie one up some little bit feels like Kris loses a little bit seem too easy. Yeah, it seems like you're like Paul really this is it like you're not taking your picture. You're not taking anything else from here. You just immediately exiting. Well, I didn't think was gone. I just mean like in that moment. I Yeah, I was gonna be you know, I didn't think that we're this is going to be the break that we got from Kris know there was certainly a setting up for something that they were going to have more Kris. Yeah. So now on the flip side of it, you've got Miyagi dough and Daniel is trying to train his students. He's trying to do this balancing act with his wife and his family failing failing miserably absolutely failing and you can see and she's waking up in an empty bed and he's trying to put all his time and energy into this Karate Dojo. So their training in the heat, that's not really working now they're training in the cold. That's not really working. Dimitri actually for once or Eugene Dmitry Dmitry Dmitry. I don't think Eugene Dimitri actually catches a kick. Yes. He - yeah, he actually has a moment and then he gets kicked in the even get me really gets kicked the night just so realistic. It's not like a good transition to Dimitri all the sudden baby steps. I was very proud of him in that moment. Yeah. Yeah, definitely big moment, but you know at the same time you have Sam and Robbie. And they're moment they kind of catch arms and they like pause for a second like oh, yeah. This is me. Yeah, it's going down. In fact, it's cooling off in there so much so that I was like surprised as that happened that everybody didn't like start making jokes because I felt like they like hold on it for a second everybody. Like I see what's going on. Okay. Okay guys get back to ya. Skip another side of the circle. Yeah. I feel like he doesn't at this point. He just doesn't see Robbie that way of like potentially being a Suitor for excuse me potentially being a And for Sam because scooter how cute well, it's just because it's also like he's taking Robbie under his wing and his more of like a son now to him totally totally. So the kiss that we all see coming does come once they get home the kiss happens and then there's a knock at the door immediately and Miguel shows up and he's got the Medal of Honor to give back Robbie and it's like a confrontation but not a total confrontation moment. And I think in that moment, you know, this is about to be a heel turn four. Be like he's gonna do something kind of bad. He's doesn't turn to a bad guy. But I think we all saw that coming right there was no poor choice. There was no way he was going to give that medal after Medal of Honor and the apology. Yeah. He says, please tell her I'm sorry and whatever that's not going to happen. Yeah, and you're like, oh it's a perfect setup for like, okay, we can have Robbie and Sam from now, but it's a perfect setup for they won't be long term. So if you're not with this if you're not for that relationship, don't worry kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. So now while this is going on though Daniel is only focused on His one thing he is totally unfocused on his business his life his wife and we're going to talk about this a new thing just one second, but I do want to remind everybody here really quickly before we do AfterBuzz TV is the ESPN of TV talk eyes.

We thank you for all of your support and let's talk about this last bit of the show today. So Amanda and Daniel she describes their marriage later on in a pretty negative way. But this is where he really hits the wall. He really yours out like because he liked the seven the seven missed calls the missed meeting with a new she's already gotten beaten up and now a new shoes there Joan's on Third Big Aunt Joan's on Third and and there's like he's not coming gets up and leaves quits guess you never knew what it was to you just knew it was a meeting and I think not knowing what it was kept you focus on everything else in the episode, which was nice because if you known what it was to be wiping meeting with the yeah. Well, it's because he'd gotten hit by Johnny and he was I guess maybe he was thinking of leaving and this was a meeting to say no. We need you to stay. We really appreciate you. Our then we didn't show up for the meeting. Yeah, he's offered a better childhood car dealership Tom Cole man, which is that is I think is a point itself of is do we see Tom Cole playing a bigger role? I mean, he's taken what two or three people they've mentioned him four or five times in the series so far. It doesn't show up in season one. He's in season 1 he meets Tom Cole doesn't he? Yeah, but just wondering if he comes back ya did ya does he come back as a bigger player? I feel like only if they decide to focus more on the dealership, which I Highly doubt. Yeah, let's have some karate in the dealer must Tom Cole becomes like a backer of Cobra. Kai could be just throw that one out there. It's a pretty good prediction. I can see that. Yeah, that's the real deal. Tom Cole advertising Tom Cole and Kris together. There's a lot to talk about at the end of the season. Yeah wild stuff here. But so anyway, that's that's kind of what happens there and you know Amanda Basically tells them off tells Daniel off, you know, you're not focusing on what matters to you and you're losing focus and and you can't keep promises. You're not keeping it balanced. So you're gonna have to figure it out. And you know, this is it's all kind of falling apart a little bit for our for Our Stars Are Stars. There's some conflict here as we are in the you know, back back portion of the show. So before we wrap up episode 7 here I've been asked this question at the end of every single episode whose story. Are you the most invested in right now the end of episode seven at this point? Yeah go Miguel me too Miguel Miguel is my guy. I'm a big I'm a big Miguel fan. He's at this point in the season. I'm going to love Jonny but Miguel story is the one that I'm all in on. Yeah. I think I'm a girl is going to their we're going to see significant change in Miguel over the next three episodes. Yeah, I think whereas before I think we're now at that point. He saw the metal. He sees everything. Yeah, and he's had a chance to analyze it and he knows what side he's on. Yeah, I'm not no heed the light has been drawn in the sand and he knows he doesn't want to cross that line. He's like the perfect middle. And it's so interesting because he gets all sides he Switzerland. Mmm. He's neutral. He gets it and I'm Miguel as well. So I think the panel for today. Yeah, we're all Miguel Miguel and for Miguel. I'm not a big Robbie fan. I gotta be honest. I feel like the opportunity to make Robbie and more interesting character has been there and they've kind of kept him vanilla to this point. I've been a little surprised about it. I have it here and know that I was taking of could have fall out with Robbie drive him away and back to Johnny and because I just there's something in this going to snap. It seems that he has that character where something's going to happen and you snap and something immediately changes. Yeah. Yeah interesting stuff.
