Things went by as usual until there was a party at Moon's. Johnny had stated he wanted to take out Carmen as an apology for scaring off her boyfriend that night. "You can take her out, just let her know it's a friend date. I don't share." Torrence told Johnny with a deep scowl. "Of course, princess. You be careful tonight. I know how you are at parties." He says, wrapping his arms around her waist as she gets ready in the mirror. "I won't drink tonight." She promises. Eliza knocks on the door, opening it. "I know you're going to a party, but no drinking." She says to her.

"I already told Johnny I wouldn't. So, I can promise you, no drinking." Torrence says with a small laugh. At the party, Torrence sits beside Eli, quietly talking about Johnny at the moment as music plays loudly. She's sipping at a soda when the Miyagi-Dos walk in. Torrence quickly stands, walking to Demetri. "I missed you, you lanky idiot. Why don't we talk anymore?" She asks before noticing the tension. Tory and Miguel walk in, also noticing the tension. Moon comes out. "Sam! I'm so glad you came!" She says. "The kegs are out back, drinks are in the kitchen, and the vegan pigs in a blanket just got out of the oven."

"Moon, you never said anything about inviting Cobra Kai." Sam says softly. "Well, I figured with summer ending and school starting back up, we could stop all the fighting and be friends again." Moon says hopefully as Torrence carefully walks back over to the couch. The rest of the night went on as usual, Torrence spent most of her time in the kitchen where neither dojo was. She walked back into the living room just as Eli poured his drink on Demetri's head. She rushes over. "Moskowitz!" She exclaims. "What'd you do?" She asks Demetri. "You're always on his side!" Demetri exclaims angrily.

"I didn't do anything!" He snaps at her as he stands, storming away. Dark rolls around and next thing anyone knew, Demetri was on stage. "Excuse me!" Demetri says into the mic. "I'd like to make a toast. To Eli Moskowitz and Torrence Miller. We'll go with Eli first." He says and everyone looks at Torrence before whispering about the Eli they have no clue about. "Oh!" Demetri laughs. "I'm sorry. Some of you might know him as Hawk. But underneath that crazy clown cosplay and whatever type of Manic Panic he dumps in his hair, he's still good old Eli." Demetri says.

"My binary brother. Well, he was my binary brother. You know what he is now? A real zero." He continues. People, who understand the joke, laugh. "That's enough, Demetri." Torrence says. "Don't let that angry red hairdo fool you. He's a big softie. Ask Torrence. We watched every Harry Potter movie together. And they bawled like babies when Dobby died." Demetri states, imitating sobbing. Torrence goes red as people laugh. "All right, if he doesn't shut up, I'm gonna shut him up." Eli says angrily to Torrence. "Remember what Sensei said about showing mercy." Mitch says.

"Now onto Torrence. Dating a man twice her age because her father never loved her." Demetri laughs. "Don't get attached. He'll leave too. Maybe then you'll have an actual reason to cut yourself." He continues as Torrence's eyes well up with tears. "Stop it, Demetri." She mumbles. "Stop what? Telling the truth? You've always been on Eli's side. But has he ever been on yours?" She tries not to let it show, but his words hurt. "What happened when you got disqualified at the All Valley for knocking someone out? Nobody was there for poor little Torrence." He mocks cries again.

"In the words of Eli's hero, Steve Jobs, 'I've got one more thing.' Have any of you ever heard of sleep enuresis?" "Don't." A fuming Eli warns him. "That is the medical term, of course. In the King's English, it's good old-fashioned bed-wetting. And Eli here is a pro. My mom even had a special air mattress for sleepovers. And she called it... 'Eli's waterbed.'" "Screw mercy. You're a corpse!" Eli and a now enraged Torrence walk forward, Mitch following. "You're gonna have to go through me." Chris says. "Stay out of it, traitor." Mitch growls. "Hey, don't touch him." Robby warns.
