At a public match, Knox abruptly introduces himself as Karlie's legal spouse after she reveals she matched with him. When a rival mocks Karlie's habit of 'bullying people with mechas,' Knox challenges him to a real fight. In the ring he confronts the Night Terror, the custom mecha the Cooks spent millions on, and to everyone's shock he tears out its core power unit with his bare hands, ripping through military-grade armor. Spectators cry 'all flash, no substance.' The episode ends with Karlie and bystanders stunned, Knox victorious, and his next move unresolved.
