He was framed by his former friend Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith).
Naturally, you might think that means Kreese would be released by the cops.
Seriously, Kreese faked his own death to get out of jail and is now seemingly on the run.
How did we get here?
Well, as co-showrunner John Hurwitz told GameSpot, we shouldn’t actually be that surprised.
“It’s Karate Kid/Cobra Kai tradition for Kreese to fake his own death,” he joked.
“So that’s something that he likes doing.
Hurwitz isn’t wrong.
Now, he’s done it again, only the stakes are much bigger.
After all, he’s now a fugitive on the run.
And, you know, we knew that Kreese was going to be in jail this season.
And there’s different ways that he could leave jail, different approaches.
“You see that there’s humanity in there.
It’s that Darth Vader story.
Will he turn good?”
Of course, there’s no guarantee Kreese will end up ditching his villainous ways.

“Fans like their John Kreese to be pure evil,” he said.
Moving forward, though, Kreese’s status on the show is going to be a complex one.
All five seasons of Cobra Kai are available on Netflix now.
