    Summary

    In 1984 he won the Valley’s most famous karate match on a fluke – or did he? Our reporter takes on the local legend and successful businessman, his erstwhile nemesis and a pitcher of martinis, and learns something about himself and the transformative power of karate along the way.

    Summary

    “Ok, so I’ll go to Mexico City,” says Johnny, with more confidence than he feels. He has some confidence, but having a named destination in a foreign country where he doesn’t speak the language, rather than the nebulous idea of just finding Miguel and Sam, makes it sound harder, somehow.

    And then, just to make it worse, Daniel says, “Why would you go? I’m going.”

    Summary

    “Well, well,” says a cool voice from the sidewalk. Johnny squints against the sunlight, and smiles at last: it’s a slim, dark-haired figure, leaning against Johnny’s Cadillac, hands tucked into the pockets of his ill-fitting suit.

    “LaRusso,” he says. “Keep following a guy around like this, he might start to get ideas about calling the cops.”

    “I knew you stooped low, Johnny Lawrence,” says LaRusso, “but I didn’t know you stooped this low.”

    “A guy’s gotta make an honest living somehow,” says Johnny pleasantly.

    “Really,” says LaRusso. “Well, I ever see a guy living honest, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”

    Summary

    Dear Johnny Lawrence,

    Well it took me five days to get through every videotape in the house and Ali says I can't call her up in Tahoe. You ever see the movie about the guy who gets stuck on his couch with a broken leg and then somebody murders somebody in the building across from him? I was thinking about murderers and then I started thinking about you.

    Summary

    Johnny takes a long sip from his beer, gears clearly turning in his head.

    “So am I on your list?” he finally asks, raising one eyebrow.

    He’s just saying it to tease him, Daniel knows that, but he can feel the warmth of a flush spreading to his cheeks. The whiskey was definitely a mistake.

    “D'you want to be?” he shoots back before he can stop himself.

    Or: Season 4, but Daniel and Amanda are poly and they're trying to seduce Johnny and Carmen, respectively (but not always respectfully). Will the unlikely quad succeed in redefining the boundaries of their relationships without losing their handle on the ongoing karate war? Or will they inevitably get caught up in the ramifications of Terry Silver's downward spiral? A tale of sex, lies, and the struggle to break free from the specters of our pasts.
