Who is Winnie in Cobra Kai Season 6? Character arc explored

Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 was released on Thursday, February 13, 2025. In the second episode, titled Rattled, viewers meet Winnie Taylor. Winnie, played by Elizabeth Berkley, is portrayed as a free-spirited and quirky mother of Moon (Hannah Kepple).

Winnie, a spiritual wanderer and a sucker for Japanese culture, adds humor to the show. Her character adds new layers to the show's complex relationships, especially when Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Amanda LaRusso (Courtney Henggeler) attempt to set her on a date with Chozen (Yuji Okumoto).

Chozen seems disinterested in the date as Winnie speaks about healing, Reiki, and tarot cards. However, the two bond over their love for the reality show Storage Wars, leading to a sweet moment.

Created by Jon Hurwitz, Joss Heald, and Hayden Schlossberg, Netflix's Cobra Kai is a martial arts comedy-drama highlighting the continuing rivalry between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. This final season is packed with humor, surprises, and clashes, including fights at Sekai Taikai between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai (Iron Dragons).

How did Chozen's date with Winnie go in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3?

When Chozen Toguchi learns that his romantic feelings towards Kumiko are not mutual, he is heartbroken. Chozen watches the reality series Storage Wars to cope with the situation. In the meantime, Daniel and Amanda decide to take him on a wine-tasting trip to Ojai, and they plan to set him up with Winnie Taylor.

Chozen initially feels bored but their connection grows when they discover their mutual love for the reality show Storage Wars. Winnie's tarot card reading reveals that someone close to Chozen might die soon, but he will quickly find a match. Chozen thinks about Miyagi-Do, but then he realizes that their worlds are poles apart.

The pairing of these two characters with entirely different worldviews offers a comic relief to the show. The scene highlights Chozen's growth as a character, slowly becoming likable from a villainous antagonist to a compassionate individual.

During a February Zoom interview with Decider, co-creator Hayden Schlossberg revealed why they cast Elizabeth Berkley for the role:

"Moon's such a colorful character that our minds ran wild in terms of who her mom is and what her vibe is. She has to be a little more Moon than Moon."

"We put together our dream list of guest stars we could reach out to, and Elizabeth was at the top of that list."

Schlossberg added that it was one of the fun days on set, speaking about Elizabeth Berkley's positive energy.
