Goofs
When Amanda is unpacking groceries, she pulls a teal-colored box of ice cream cones out of the bag. When the camera angle switches, she is suddenly holding an orange box of ice cream sandwiches. When the shot changes again, it is back to being the teal ice cream cone box.

Quotes
Johnny Lawrence: Great work, LaRusso. You just lost one of our best fighters.
Daniel LaRusso: Why the hell didn't you back me up?
Johnny Lawrence: Because she wanted to fight!
Daniel LaRusso: Her mother just died! What's the matter with you?
Johnny Lawrence: She was working through it! When my mom died, all I wanted to do was get on a mat for three rounds. It would've helped me then, it would've helped her now.
Daniel LaRusso: We don't teach these kids to fight with anger. That's... that's not the Miyagi-Do way.
Johnny Lawrence: Oh, please. I'm so sick of hearing that name. You act so high and mighty, like Miyagi was some perfect angel. But he wasn't. I heard about his dirty little box of secrets.
[Daniel glares at Johnny]
Johnny Lawrence: Mr. Miyagi was a liar and a thief.
[Daniel punches Johnny in the nose. Johnny flinches and wipes his nose. Daniel looks guilty]
Daniel LaRusso: Shit. Johnny, I... I'm sorry.
Johnny Lawrence: QUIET!
[Daniel is silent]
Johnny Lawrence: I'm gonna coach the tournament with you. For the kids. Not for you, not for this dojo, for them. But once we win... you and I are done. For good.

Best episode of the season, but...

This season so far is a mess. Seems to me like they're running out of ideas and they try force drama where it doesn't belong.. Characters starting to fight for no reason, forced rivalries etc... I will admit this season had it's moments and the slumber party thingy arranged by Johnny was brilliant but everything feels rushed and it suffers from too much dead air... And Kreese is getting boring.. And his mentor has got to be at least 135 years old by now.. People don't live that long

I am worried about the state of this show. Seems to me like they had a hard time filling 5 episodes, it got predictable and repetitive very quickly.. Up until this point I liked this show but now I'm sceptical.
