History Recap / CobraKaiS3E9FeelTheNight

Sam apologizes to Daniel for inviting Miguel over to Miyagi-Do without telling him. Though Daniel understands that Sam is growing up, he is still [[OverprotectiveDad overprotective]] of his daughter and is concerned that she's adding unnecessary drama to her love life by jumping so quickly between boyfriends in the past year (Kyler, then Miguel, Robby, and now back to Miguel). Sam confesses that Robby witnessed them together the previous night, but assures her father that he can trust her and encourages him to get to know Miguel.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Double subverted. Chris struggles to come up with an analogy for the relationship between Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do. Bert suggests "like oil and vinegar". Chris says no, he doesn't think they're like salad dressing.

* AbusiveParents: At one point, Kyler claims that if he doesn't pass trigonometry, his dad will "shit in his mouth". It's left to the viewer's imagination whether Kyler means this literally or if he's just (grossly) exaggerating how strict his father is about his grades, but given the fact that it wouldn't make Kyler the first bully in the ''Karate Kid'' universe to come from an abusive father, it does make you wonder.

At Cobra Kai, Robby wakes up to the sound of Kreese practicing on a training dummy. Robby thanks Kreese for his hospitality. Kreese offers to give him a few karate lessons, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Kreese's students. Hawk is none too pleased to see Robby in the dojo, noting that by Kreese's own logic he's the enemy for putting Miguel in the hospital. Recounting his war experiences, Kreese states that it is sometimes hard to tell friend from foe, and points out that "the enemy of your enemy is a friend". Meanwhile, Tory finds Robby in the backroom preparing to leave, stating that he doesn't belong there. She accuses him of running away from his problems and suggests that Robby channel his hatred to make himself stronger. She then invites Robby to hang out with the Cobra Kai gang after class.

At the zoo, the Cobra Kai plan to steal a large Chinese Cobra from captivity as a gift for Kreese, only to find that Kyler has forgotten to bring the snake pole needed to capture the snake. They inadvertently call attention to themselves and are forced to flee the premises empty-handed. As Hawk berates Kyler for ruining the mission, Robby suddenly appears with the snake in a bag, leading the other Cobra Kais to celebrate with him as Hawk looks on in resentment.

Kreese commends Robby, Hawk, Kyler and Tory for stealing the snake, but gives most of his praise to Robby, leaving Hawk even more disillusioned. Kreese stresses the importance of making alliances, stating that Miguel and Sam have created one of their own. After exchanging pointed glances with Robby, Tory marches out of the dojo with purpose.

Recounting his war experiences, Kreese states that it is sometimes hard to tell friend from foe, and points out that "the enemy of your enemy is a friend". While this is going on, Tory finds Robby in the backroom packing his overnight bag and preparing to leave, feeling that he doesn't belong there. She accuses him of running away from his problems. Reading between the lines and sussing out that Robby has found out the truth about Sam not being faithful to him, Tory parrots Kreese's words and suggests that Robby channel his hatred to make himself stronger. She then invites Robby to hang out with the Cobra Kai gang after class.

At the [=LaRusso=] house, Sam and the rest of the Miyagi-Do gang wait for a keg to be delivered for their own Christmas party. When the doorbell finally rings, however, the gang is dismayed to discover that it's Miguel, accompanied by Mitch and Bert. Sam and Miguel explain that the party was their ruse to get everyone together and discuss combining their dojos, because even though the two dojos are rivals, [[EnemyMine they must set aside their differences to overcome the bigger threat of Cobra Kai]]. Tempers immediately flare on both sides (particularly between Mitch and Chris, and between Nate and Bert), leading Sam and Miguel to fear that their plan will fail.

* NotSoDifferent: Daniel finally officially meets Miguel and learns that the kid's background (coming from a poor, single parent family, being bullied by wealthier kids, and finding guidance through karate) is just like his own. He realizes that he completely misjudged Miguel and takes a liking to him, with Miguel returning the favor on both counts.

-->'''Sam:''' ''[confidently]'' Try and hit me.
-->'''Miguel:''' ''[grimaces]'' I'm not gonna try and hit you.
-->'''Sam:''' ''[teasingly]'' What? You scared you're gonna get beat by a girl?

-->''"Hey you the man, dawg!!! [To Hawk] Hey, he's a natural Cobra, man.''

* TheTeetotaler: Robby is firmly established as one, when he refuses the beers that Kyler procured for the gang.

Johnny and Carmen wake up in Johnny's bed together the next morning. Although neither of them feels that the previous night was a mistake, Johnny is concerned about complicating things with Miguel; Carmen is sympathetic to his concern. She then leaves for work, but makes plans with Johnny to talk more later that night. As he sits down to breakfast, Johnny reads a Facebook message from Ali and learns she is back in town. Ali has invited him out to lunch, but having just rekindled his relationship with Carmen, Johnny is indecisive.

After spending the night at Cobra Kai, Robby thanks Kreese for his hospitality. Kreese offers to give him a few karate lessons, but they are interrupted by Hawk and the rest of the students, who are none too pleased to see Robby in their dojo. Even as Kreese deems Robby as their guest, Hawk argues that Robby is their enemy for putting Miguel in the hospital. Recounting his war experiences, Kreese states that it is sometimes hard to tell friend from foe, and points out that "the enemy of your enemy is a friend". Meanwhile, Tory confronts Robby as he prepares to leave, with Robby stating that he doesn't belong there, but she accuses him of running away from his problems. She explains how Kreese taught her to channel her hate to become stronger, and then invites Robby to hang out with the Cobra Kai gang after class.

Though Daniel understands that Sam is growing up, he is still [[OverprotectiveDad overprotective]] of his daughter and is concerned that she's adding unnecessary drama to her love life by jumping so quickly between boyfriends in the past year (Kyler, then Miguel, Robby, and now back to Miguel). Sam confesses that Robby witnessed them together the previous night, but assures her father that he can trust her and encourages him to get to know Miguel.

After practice, the Cobras meet up in the woods to plan their activity, and Robby joins them. Despite lingering tension between him and Hawk, they concede to let him tag along. When they pass through a broken fence into what appears to be a restricted area, Robby hesitates, but Tory is able to coax him into continuing. Hawk then leads the group into the Ventura Zoo.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Now that he's afraid of Hawk, all Kyler can do is make excuses when Hawk reams him out for failing to bring the snake pole.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Demetri, who thought it was a good idea to bring ''TabletopGame/TrivialPursuit'' to Moon's party, finds Sam's [[TheCakeIsALie fake]] Christmas party (which basically consists of six Miyagi-Do students sitting on a couch doing absolutely nothing while she stalls for time) excruciatingly boring.

* ThePowerOfHate: Tory explains to Robby how Kreese taught her to channel all her hatred towards Miguel (for cheating on her) and Sam (for 'taking' Miguel from her) to give her strength.

At home, Sam and the rest of the Miyagi-Do gang wait for a keg to be delivered for their own Christmas party. When the doorbell finally rings, however, it's Miguel, accompanied by Mitch and Bert. It turns out that the whole party has been a ruse by Sam and Miguel to get everyone together and discuss combining their dojos. With tempers flaring on both sides, Sam and Miguel explain that even though haven't always gotten along, [[EnemyMine they must do so if they mean to overcome the bigger threat of Cobra Kai]].

As Sam speaks, Johnny returns to the Encino Oaks Country Club for the first time since high school to meet Ali, only to find her being warmly greeted by Daniel.

** Ali and Johnny go on a date at Golf 'n Stuff, doing almost the exact same things Ali and Daniel did on their date (or Sam and Miguel, for that matter).

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Sam and Miguel renew their romance...and Daniel ends up walking in on them making out in the dojo. This trope was a major factor into why they broke up in season one, but now Daniel and Miguel actually get a chance to sit down and talk. Due to the recent events and getting to share his side of Johnny and Daniel's rivalry, Daniel comes to like Miguel pretty well.

* ThePowerOfHate: Tory explains to Robby how Kreese taught her to channel all her hatred to give her strength.

* ToiletHumour: Kyler claims that he forgot to bring a snake pole with him because he has a lot on his mind, fearing his dad will "shit in his mouth" if he doesn't pass trigonometry.

* WhatTheHellHero: Daniel's attitude when Sam uneasily admits that Robby saw her with Miguel.

Johnny returns to the Oaks Country Club for the first time since high school to meet Ali, only to find her being warmly greeted by Daniel.

* WouldntHitAGirl: Because he did hit her once (while intoxicated), Miguel is hesitant to intentionally strike Sam while sparring.

Sam and Miguel go to Miyagi-Do for a bit of private sparring. As they're changing into their workout clothes, Miguel notices a picture of Mr. Miyagi, prompting Sam to explain who Miyagi is, and Miyagi-Do's defense-oriented philosophy, which Miguel notes lacks in offense-oriented practices. Miguel notices the Okinawan hand drum from ''Part II'', leading Sam to demonstrate the fight technique inspired by the instrument. In turn, Miguel decides to [[DoubleEntendre show some moves of his own]]. He then sweeps Sam off her feet and kisses her on the mat, just as Daniel walks into the dojo, leaving both kids embarrassed.
