This episode launches with an action-packed sequence featuring Zara, a new fan-favorite, as she showcases her skills with the Iron Dragons team, who maintain their dominance in the tournament. However, the core focus remains on Daniel and Johnny’s struggle to coexist as co-coaches.

This episode feels somewhat stagnant, marked by a less-than-stellar title that humorously refers to Johnny’s confrontation with a disgruntled passenger on his flight back to the tournament. Romantic entanglements among secondary characters distract from the central competition, while the subplot surrounding Kenny’s involvement feels lackluster.

Fortunately, Rosa makes a comeback, motivating Johnny and Miguel to strive for victory in the tournament. A familiar face returns in Terry Silver, reiterating the yearlong tensions that have kept viewers hooked.
