It was a good episode. Friendships revived and made. Rivalries also still at large. But all in all good.

I consider this too light on spoilers to mark it with the spoiler tag, but for clarification I do touch on a few story moments.
The opening scene in this episode was quite a let down after last episode's. Two girls kicking a bag also seems like quite a stretch from where this show was last season. Not exactly "Bad ass" as Johnny would say.
The dinner scene at the restaurant was great. When Johnny corrected Carmen by saying that Miguel had become quite a man was really profound, because not only did it clarify Miguel's growing up, it showed the respect he had earned to be called a man, not a boy. But it also under-scored Johnny's growth and his attitude towards his closest pupil. It said a lot about their relationship, and even more so that Johnny was correcting Miguel's own mother about her son. Great moment.
I'm getting really tired of the ongoing kid drama. I just dont care about any of em anymore. More and more they're just becoming plot devices for the two rival dojos. Hawk was arguably one of the most interesting characters during season 1. His whole flipping the script was fun and had great potential for how this was going to ride out. But unfortunately they've eschewed all subtlety and just turned him into a one-dimensional villain. Hopefully they'll redeem his arch, because it started as very sympathetic.
***Spoiler ahead***
The dinner scene was excellent. Everything you want from this show. I think my favorite moment was when Johnny said "Goodnight, LaRussos". I know it's a small thing but it spoke volumes. You could hear in his voice that he was sincere and his guard was down. When he said it, in my head there was a sudden flash of the first movie that juxtaposed against this happy moment and created a quick sensation of poignancy. I thought this was both a small and big moment.
Now let's see how the kids screw things up next.

I want chips and salsa after watching this

This was a great, funny, entertaining episode

This is how to do drama and comedy.
THIS episode should be the one to be remembered.
The next episode, sadly, sucks so hard that I'm doubting that I want to watch the show any more.
If season 3 starts off with writing like this, I will stick with the show. If season 3 starts off with writing like the next episode (or doesn't address the major consequences and logical fall-out of what was done), I won't.

Worst episode so far

The redemption between the adults was great and the only real reason we had been watching anyway.
The teen drama is getting old really quick. This episode brings teen drinking, teens suddenly deciding to be gay and just more, "Oh my gosh! She did what?" stupidity.
Not sure whether we will complete the series.

Watch this episode, it has everything that's wrong with our generation... Kids suddenly deciding to become gay because it's popular, bullies being praised, underaged kids drinking. This is not a good episode to show kids.
just a small pet peeve of mine
