- Quotes
Terry Silver: You remember when you asked me what I thought your weakness was? It's Johnny Lawrence. That's what this is all about, right? It was never about us teaming up or bringing back the glory days, that was all bullshit.
John Kreese: That's not true.
Terry Silver: Yes, it is. And I fell for it. And do you know why? Because everyone has a weakness, John. And mine is you.
John Kreese: You think I'm your weakness? Well, you've got it backwards because I am your strength! I have been your strength ever since Vietnam!
Terry Silver: Yes! There it is! I can always count on you playing the guilt card. How many times do you expect me to repay that debt before we're square?
John Kreese: [Police cars arrive to arrest John] What did you do?
Terry Silver: I'm shedding my weakness, Captain.

One of the best things about this episode, and this season in general is Terry Silver. He is as crazy here as he was back in Part 3. His sneaky backstabbing was on point, and I loved seeing Thomas Ian Griffith bring back that energy at the final moments of this episode.
This season ended on a high note, with some very emotional scenes. I will give credit to Tanner Buchanan, who plays Robbie. I've never given much thought to his performance, but he gives his all in one of the most powerful scenes in the series in this episode, that made me swallow a lump.
I'm looking forward to season 5, and by from they was filming is going on, we could expect that at the end of the year. Cobra Kai really is a fantastic TV show that respects the past and present.
10/10.
