It's Christmas time, but there's plenty of reasons to be afraid! Daniel is afraid that Sam's relationship with former number one Cobra, Miguel, may becoming more than a father should know about. Miguel is afraid that Daniel may not understand his intentions. So for once, they sit down and discuss the differences between Miguel's Sensei and Daniel. Hawk is afraid that Robbie may take his place in Sensei Kreese's favour after Robbie is invited to the dojo by Kreese and on a Cobra Kai mission by Tory. The mission succeeds but only with Robbie's help, leaving Kreese impressed and declaring Robbie "just what Cobra Kai needs". Kreese, spotting a connection between Keane and Nichols, takes the opportunity of stirring the pot by advising them of the LaRusso/Diaz alliance that help save the tournament. Tory storms off. Finally, after spending a night of passion with Sensei J-Law, Carmen should be afraid, but she is unaware that Johnny's attention has been taken by the return of Ali, the woman he has obsessed over since 1984, to the valley. Surely meeting for lunch is an innocent catch up with and old friend? What it leads to is a date at the Country Club Christmas party, when a painful memory resurfaces. One way or another rivalries will have to come to a head.
