Torrence smiles when she wakes up, looking over to see Johnny just barely awake beside her. "What's got you all smiley?" He jokes. "I just had the best dream." She says, setting her hand on his cheek. He smiles. "Yeah?" "Mm-hm." She nods. "Tell me about it." He wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her in as she talks. Later that day, Torrence had to get back to work after leaving for Mexico. The small convenience store beside where Cobra Kai used to be. Johnny wasn't fond of having her back there because all the Cobras knew she worked there, and the fact that she's pregnant worries him even more. Eli calls just as she gets situated. "Hey, Moskowitz. What's up?" "Wanna come to the water park?" He asks. "I'd love to, but I'm at work." She answers, shrugging.

"Screw work. Sensei Lawrence doesn't want you working there anyway." He reminds. "I felt like quitting anyway. Are you willing to stop by my place so I can get a swimsuit?" She asks. He nods despite the fact that she can't see him. "Yeah, of course. Be there soon." He hangs up, leaving her to wait. Before she leaves, she quits, explaining her boyfriend didn't want her working there in the first place. Her boss was surprisingly okay with it. Eli pulls up, watching her walk out. "Hey, sweetheart." "Hey." She leans across the center console, kissing his cheek. After picking up Miguel and letting her change/tell Johnny where she's going, they arrive at the water park.

"Hey, babe." Eli calls as they walk toward Moon, Sam, and Yasmine. Moon sits up, waving at them before looking at Sam. "Hey, what's up?" "Hi." They kiss as Miguel walks to Sam, his hand on Torrence's lower back, he figured they'd just share a chair. "Uh, hey, how you doing, Sam?" "Hey." She looks up at him. "Um, uh, yeah. I mean, I'm... I'm good. Good. And how about you?" "I'm cool. I'm good. Yeah." He answers as Moon and Eli share a look. "Uh, is anyone..." He trails off, pointing at the chair. "Yeah. I mean... I mean, no, but... I- Yeah, you can... You can go ahead." "All right." He leads Torrence to it. She pulls her shirt off, leaving her in her bikini top and shorts. Her scars have faded but not.

They're noticeable but not as bad as they were. The snake on her leg sticks out, but she finally doesn't find it to be as painful a reminder anymore. Her and Robby are okay. It took a while, but they worked it out for Johnny's sake. She slips her sunglasses on, pulling a book from her bag. With one hand resting on her, barely showing, stomach, the book sits in the other. The rest notice this little slip up, wondering why she's got her hand there. A little while later, she's walking with Eli when the Cobras kick Anthony, Sam's younger brother, into the pool after trapping his arms to his sides with floaties. He grabs her hand, walking her over. "What the hell was that?" He snaps. "None of your business."

Kyler glares at Torrence. "Yeah, well I'm making it my business." She snarls, stepping closer. "Woah, woah, hey. Kyler, Kyler. Maybe he needs another haircut to remember who he's talking to." Kenny says. "You wanna take on the champ, kid?" Eli asks. "Dude, you're only the champ because Diaz got hurt. Robby won as many fights as you did." "Yeah, but one of them was against you. And that wasn't much of a fight, now was it?" Eli smirks. Kenny steps up. "Aw, come on now. You really gonna take that from him? From Lip?" Kyler asks. Torrence steps up just as Tory comes over. "Hey, hey, hey! Back off." She shoves Eli. "Hey, stay out of this." Torrence snaps. "Oh, what's the matter? You scared I'm right, Champ?" Kenny asks. "Hey, enough." Tory says.

"Unless you wanna get your ass kicked, I suggest you stay on your side of the park. Away from us." She snarls at Torrence. "Hey, yo, champ." A kid calls, flexing at Eli. He glances over before looking at Tory. "All right. You guys stay on your side, we don't have a problem. We have better rides on our side anyway." Eli sets his hand on Torrence's back, leading her away as Tory glares at her. Torrence ends up between Cobra Kais and Eagle Fangs, pushing them away from each other. Robby watches Kyler shove her, the only reason he intervenes. Tory intervenes when Robby does. "Guys, stop. Stop!" He sets his hands on Torrence's waist, pulling her away.

Miguel and Eli sit up when they watch Robby touch her. "What are you doing? Don't touch her." Miguel snaps. "You stay out of this." Robby says. "Don't-" A whistle blows. "Stop it. All of you. Or you're all getting kicked out." The lifeguard yells at them before walking away. "Okay, clearly, we can't coexist in peace, so let's find a solution." Torrence says. "We can't fight, we'll get kicked out. So, what are we supposed to do?" Mitch asks. "We need to go." Robby says to Tory. "No." "How 'bout a race?" Bert suggests. They all look at the slide. "Yeah, I'll go." Eli says, up-downing Robby. "So will I." Tory states, stepping up. "All right, champ versus champ." Kyler says. "Whoever wins gets the park."

Tory smirks. "Deal. But you won't win." Eli says. Everyone goes their separate ways except Robby and Torrence. "This can't be good." She says. She's quickly pulled away by Eli. A little bit later and everyone surrounds the bottom of the slides. "Y'all ready for this?" Kyler shouts. People cheer. "This is to decide the champion of all champions." Everyone chants, either 'Hawk' or 'Tory.' "Three, two, one. Let's go!" Kyler shouts again. Tory wins but Eli comes out with a deflated floaty. "What the hell? You guys cheated. There was a hole in my tube!" Eli snarls. Every sneers, chanting cheaters. Torrence helps Eli out of the pool. "Hey, dipshit. I know this was you." He walks to Kenny. "What are you gonna do?"

"I'm not gonna strike first if that's what you think. You don't have the balls to anyway." Eli states. Kenny nods, stepping away before swinging. "Is that all you got?" Eli laughs. Kenny throws a few punches, Eli blocking all of them before he gets one good hit. He goes to kick him when Eli catches his leg, elbowing the back of his knee. Robby pushes Eli, who stumbles into Torrence, who lands in the pool. Miguel runs over, shoving Robby as Torrence surfaces with a gasp. Robby glances at her but focuses on Miguel. "Watch yourself." Miguel says. "You wanna go?" Robby asks as the whistle blows, the lifeguard pushing between the boys as Eli helps Torrence out of the water. "Hey. Everybody get out and leave the park immediately." The man shouts.

"I mean it. Everybody out. Now." He says. Miguel wraps a towel around Torrence, pulling her with him. As the small group walks out, Miguel asks, "Hey. Do you guys know where Sam went?" "Oh, she split on her own. She didn't want anything to do with all this drama." Moon says. "Yeah, neither did I." Miguel watches Robby walk through the parking lot. "Uh, go head. We'll catch up." He pulls Torrence with him. He shoves Robby when he gets to him. "Hey! I could've sworn sensei said you were out of Cobra Kai." He snaps. Torrence pushes between the two. "I'm not in Cobra Kai." "Yet, you're on their side every time they start fights." Torrence pushes between the two. "You don't know what the hell you're you're talking about." Robby snaps at him.

"Look, you think just because you came down to Mexico that you think you're a good guy, well guess what, you're not." Miguel shoves him. "Miguel, stop." Torrence tries, stepping between them again. "Well look who's talking. And let's get clear about one thing, I didn't come down to Mexico for you." Robby reaches past Torrence, poking his chest. "Nobody asked you to go anywhere!" Miguel shouts, shoving Torrence out of the way and pushing Robby. Johnny, who's just pulled up, pulls Torrence out of the fight. "Hey, hey! Stop it. I want you guys to get along. We're all friends now." Johnny states. "No, we're not friends." Miguel says. "We never will be." Robby answers, both boys taking off in.

Torrence sighs, dropping her head into her hands. "I'm sorry. I tried to stop them." She apologizes, feeling guilty she couldn't. "Hey, hey, this isn't on you. You shouldn't even be getting in the way, princess." He pulls her in, kissing her head. She huffs, leaning against him as he places his hand on her stomach. "All you need to worry about is keeping yourself, and this little dude, healthy." He says. She laughs, swatting playfully at his hand. "I'm fine." "I'm sure you are. But now I've got two troublemakers to look after." He replaces his hand on her stomach, the other wrapping around her waist. "Troublemakers? I am not a troublemaker." She defends with a laugh. "You so are." He kisses her softly.
