31 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Sonya attempts to worm her way back into Cassie's life by offering her a commission and the chance to train under her. Cassie tells her mother to shove it. When Sonya makes Cassie's life a living hell through training, Cassie plans to let her enlistment expire so she can sign on elsewhere. |
32 | * ShoutOut: Several |
33 | ** The fight between Sonya and Johnny was inspired by [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra the fight between Lin and Suyin Beifong.]] |
