Nice, I was hoping for something like this. It's pretty serious to emphasize the gravity of the situation as the fight at the school was obviously way over the top (the aftermath is even more severe than I thought but I'm happy about this). Johnny understandably hit rock-bottom but him visiting Miguel showed that there's still a fight left in him (or in this case I should actually replace fight with light/hope :D). The LaRusso's took a bigger hit than I thought but it does make sense that Daniel also takes his fair share of blame. However, I'm surprised that Daniel managed not to punch Kreese. Daniel and Johnny joining forces at the end was what I've been hoping for. I really hope Daniel will get to know Johnny more and realize that he never intended for this to happen / had good intentions (that's what I hope this season will be about - and hopefully there'll be (many) more seasons to continue their reunion, etc.). Fixing Robby's situation still seems pretty difficult and I hope that Miguel recovers very well.

"Got something to say?"
"Yeah. Check out my new Lit book. A lot of hard-hitting shit in here. You know what I mean?"

@dahj update (some notes):

  • That peaceful gathering (organized/lead by Moon) :D (And when she sings that line it still feels like the character/actress finds it cheesy (cringe) too.)
  • Johnny really hit rock-bottom. "Oh shit." (it's not a good idea to start a fight when being drunk :D)
  • TIL: PTA = parent-teacher association
  • The LaRusso's took quite a hit as well
  • That sick burn by the girl when Hawk tried to hit on her <3 And then she talks to Demetri :D
  • That lit book line is still great :D
  • Louie is such a funny "idiot" (I'm definitely not surprised that he'd taken a Ferrari)
  • Johnny can be so stupid (intentionally hurting himself to get to Miguel - but yeah, impersonating a doctor doesn't seem possible in his current state... :o)
  • It's cool and interesting how Daniel and Sam both have regrets. They're the good guys but so are Johnny, Miguel, etc. It's mainly their "stupid rivalry" and the love drama that caused all of this.
  • After Daniel talked to Kreese he should definitely appreciate Johnny more (and it looks like he does now!)
    • Kreese: "There's no such thing as a bad student..." Kreese is really good at getting Daniel on edge.
    • Kreese: "It's inevitable." True words. It really is... :o
  • Sam: "Say it to my face." Well done!
  • The ending is quite epic
