**Cobra Kai: What if Tory Was In Cobra Kai Season 1**

## **Season 1:**

**Tory was former friends with Sam when they were younger, but they had a fallen out with each other because their personalities are too different; according to Tory, Sam was obsessed to be with the popular girls. Aisha tries to convince Tory to bury the past with Sam, but Tory refuses. After finding Johnny Lawrence's Cobra Kai Dojo, Aisha and Tory decide to join. Cobra Kai has never had a female student, and Johnny at first is not keen on them joining, and in his words, says it is akin to how the army doesn't accept girls, though he did see about testing her by having them fight Miguel Diaz in a sparring match. Aisha managed to land a knee drop to his ribs and spear his midsection, earning Johnny's praise that she had untapped potential, or "a natural Cobra". Even Miguel was shocked by this sudden attack, but his sensei brushed it off that in this case, anything goes, lumberjack style. Tory and Aisha start sitting with Miguel, Eli, and Demetri in lunch; Tory and Miguel start teasing one another and getting close. Tory has feelings for Miguel and feels sad when she finds out that Miguel is going on a date with Sam; she tells him to be careful around her.** **Aisha also unsympathetically turns her back on Samantha, while Tory gives her a dirty look. After finding about Yasmine's party, Aisha along with Eli Moskowitz, Miguel, Tory Nichols and Demetri crash the party. During the party, Tory makes amends with Moon, while Aisha gets her revenge on Yasmine by giving her a wedgie, thus humiliating her in front of everyone. Tory reaches the semi-finals in the All Valley Tournament and loses to Miguel. After Miguel wins the tournament for Cobra Kai, Tory along with the other Cobra Kai students cheer. We get a brief glimpse of her poor home life.**

## **Season 2:**

**Tory's friendship with Aisha grows stronger which upsets Sam; Sam suspects Tory of stealing her mother's wallet (actually the work of Trey and Cruz, Robby's former criminal accomplices). After seeing Miguel cheat on her with Sam, a vengeful Tory decides to furiously challenge Sam to a fight after school. Amidst the confusion, the students of the two dojos fight each other in an all-out brawl that ends with Robby accidentally kicking Miguel over a balcony railing and sending him falling off the second floor. Despite using dirty tactics and a spiked bracelet wrapped around her fist, Tory loses to Sam in the fight, but not before cutting Sam's right arm and traumatizing her. She eventually turns against Johnny and sides with Kreese following the coup at Cobra Kai after Miguel is accidentally crippled by Robby at the end of the school fight.**

## **Season 3:**

**In Season 3 Episode 2, Tory wouldn't accept Kreese's invitation to rejoin Cobra Kai. She will stay at home to take care of her mom because she's on probation for her past actions in the school. Not only is she expelled and no longer allowed on school grounds but the announcer lady she attacked is suing her family, the Larusso's have a restraining order against her, and while she avoided Juvie, she still has to deal with probation and all that comes with it. She is ordered by the court to go through therapy sessions. She has to report to a probation officer, she has serious restrictions on her freedom, she has to find new jobs, she can't go back to Karate, and she can't even go near the LaRusso's without jeopardizing her freedom. We see her interacting with her family and her guilt over the school brawl and what happened to Miguel by having her breakdown. In Season 3 Episode 6, Tory apologizes to Miguel for starting the school fight; Miguel apologizes for cheating on Tory; Tory realizes Miguel doesn't love her, which hurts her. Later in the season, Tory befriends Robby after he joins Cobra Kai when they find common ground in their broken home lives and their own betrayals from Miguel, Johnny and Sam as well as their resentment towards their probation and expulsion from school. Upon finding out that Sam has gotten back together with Miguel and helped him save the All-Valley Tournament from being cancelled due to the aftermath of the school brawl, Tory challenges Sam to a street fight with her Cobra Kai's by engaging the students of Miyagi-Do and Johnny's new dojo Eagle Fang Karate. Sam regains her resolve and fights back with a bo staff, disarming Tory with Sam defeating Tory a second consecutive time. She attempts to escalate the situation, only to be betrayed by Hawk in the process. Tory leaves, but not before vowing revenge on Hawk, Miguel, Demetri and Sam.**

## **Season 4:**

**In Season 4, Tory is befriended by Amanda LaRusso who helps Tory find another job and with her mother. She later turns to Amanda for help with her home situation after being confronted by her aunt Kandace and is later able to return to school after Amanda gives her permission, revealing that she has come to sympathize with Tory due to her sharing a similar past and having remember Tory when she was young. Sam later reluctantly agrees as well to satisfy her parents, but she remains suspicious of Tory's motivations. During the finals, she faces off against Sam again, but Amanda asks Tory to fight within the rules and expresses hope that the match will finally end the rivalry between the two girls. With Sam combining Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang techniques, she proves to be a match for Tory who accidentally elbows her in the eye. Despite Terry Silver encouraging Tory to illegally hit Sam in the other eye to win, Tory, recalling their previous fights, fights clean and wins. Much to Sam's surprise, Tory expresses genuine concern for Sam's injuries once the fight is over, showing that she has agreed to honor Amanda's request to end her rivalry with Sam once and for all. Tory's win gives Cobra Kai the All-Valley championship, but Tory is devastated and conflicted when she catches Silver bribing the referee for rigging the final match between her and Sam in Cobra Kai's favor which is why he hadn't deducted a point from Tory after her hit to Sam's eye and had earlier refused to give Sam a point saying Tory was out of bounds even though she stepped out of bounds after Sam scored.**
