The Kardashians | Season 7 – Episode 6

Khloé arrives at Kardashian-Jenner Productions HQ to film some promos for a forthcoming Disney movie because if there's one thing Kris Jenner loves more than her children, it's vertical integration. The film is 'Freakier Friday' so Khloé and Kris are swapping psyches ... although if you ask Kourtney, she'll say that has already happened. Their acting is so bad that it puts to rest any speculation that this show is scripted. They film a scene as themselves and then switch wigs to film as 'each other'. Khloé says she would like to 'Freaky Friday' with Kylie because she would love to know what those boobs feel like ... but surely she could just buy herself a pair?

----------

At Travis's house, Kourtney is hosting Erica Komisar, a professional mom shamer psychotherapist. Erica wrote the book (literally) about attachment parenting and so Kourtney has invited some other moms over to hear her speak because what is a little confirmation bias amongst friends? Komisar's focus is on child development from the ages of 0-3 ... so one wonders why Kourtney didn't invite Khloé, as she has a child in that stage too. One of Erica's core beliefs is that a child should have 24/7 access to their primary attachment figure -- so no daycare, no nannies. When Kourtney had Mason and Penelope, she didn't know it was an option 'not to work' and often left them in the care of nannies, but arguably Kourtney has been working harder than ever in the last five years -- launching two brands, filming for the show, chasing Travis around while he's on tour. When Erica brings up that Kourtney needlessly took Rocky on a 16-hour flight to Australia at two months' old, Kourtney quickly corrects her -- he was actually four months' old. Kourtney then seizes on an opportunity to denigrate Kris's parenting style which is fascinating because she's actually following in her footsteps -- focusing her energy on building a second family and alienating her eldest child in the process. Erica says the mother and baby should co-sleep for the first 8–12 weeks and Kourtney says that she and her baby 'sleep like a dream together'. [note: Rocky is currently 112 weeks old.] When Erica slams women who use their phone while they are breastfeeding their baby, Kourtney admits that she's done just that with all of her children ... but she's got an anti-radiation sticker on her device so it's probably fine(!)

----------

In Hidden Hills, Kim and Scott are heading to an appointment with a snake oil salesman psychiatrist who masquerades as a neurologist. (You'll remember him as the guy who told Khloé her brain was being held together by trauma damage.) Kim undergoes a SPECT scan, a procedure that has been condemned by the medical community for exposing patients to harmful amounts of radiation with no clear benefit. Scott admires Kim's ability to bottle up her emotions but wonders where they go and postulates that she hides them under her butt which is why it's so big. Scott's brain is full of holes from decades of substance abuse but he's reassured that none of it is permanent ... as long as he works to reverse it. Kim has a 'beautiful' brain but showing low activity [insert obvious joke here]. This is probably the result of years of chronic stress from, say, being held at gunpoint, your step-father turning into a woman, your husband publicly threatening your life, putting yourself through a law apprenticeship etc. etc.

----------

At Travis's house, the Kardashian-Barker family are waking up. It does not appear that Kourtney and Travis sleep in the same bedroom (which is not uncommon where there are small children ... but does make me question just how hot their sex life can really be if they're not even sleeping in the same bed). Penelope has made a makeshift bed on the floor beside Kourtney. It's also insane that Kourtney requires Rocky's face to be blurred but is fine with him being seen wearing only a diaper. They move to a living room where Kourtney sits on Travis's lap and sticks her tongue down his throat ... before they are interrupted by Rocky saying 'no, no, no, no, no'. Kourtney then breastfeeds Rocky at the kitchen table.

----------

In New York, Kim is doing a fitting for the Met Gala. It's her twelfth time at the Gala but the first time she is not stressed (foreboding). Kendall isn't happy with the draping of her outfit and isn't afraid to say it. As Kim is getting glam, she tells us that an image of her father appeared on her laptop screen. She had never seen this photo before and doesn't know where it came from ... which is implausible but let's put that to one side . She shared it on the family group chat and Kourtney said it was a sign that she should stop studying for the Bar exam and focus on her children. Kim reiterates that she not stop chasing her dreams.

----------

In Los Angeles, Khloé is doing a promo event for her snack line at Barry's Bootcamp. She has brought True and Tatum with her because it's important for them to learn the grift see their mother as a business woman.

----------

In New York, Kim is less serene than she was a few hours previous. Her hair extensions don't work under her hat and her fit isn't fitting. She declares that she will simply not go to the gala if the dress looks horrible ... which is not something she's ever said before. After a long night of adjustments, the dress looks ok. Then one of her glam squad makes a sick joke about the murder of her mother's best friend. ('If it doesn't fit, we must acquit' etc.) North brought Kim some flowers and give her a pep talk of sorts: 'Whats the worst thing that can happen? People hate on your outfit? They do that every year.' No-one more so than North herself...

----------

At Kardashian-Jenner Productions HQ, Khloé prepares to shoot an episode of her podcast with Kourtney as a guest ... which is as awkward as you'd expect. They share their differing experiences of growing up with Caitlyn as a father figure -- Khloé feels she was very fair but Kourtney feels she was super strict but I guess different kids require different parenting styles? Interestingly, Kourtney reveals that she moved in with her father to escape her step-father and step-siblings ... just as Mason has done. Kim FaceTimes them and Kourtney uses it as an opportunity to be passive aggressive, saying she's so thrilled not to be doing glam and wearing a corset to go to the Met Gala not that she was invited anyway.

----------

In New York, Kim and Kendall are getting ready to leave for the Met. North leads a prayer but forgets to thank everyone for their hard work so Kim adds an addendum. One of her security team steps on her alligator on the way to the car and Kim shoots him a dirty look but says that is nothing compared to how Kris Jenner would have reacted. Kylie attended the event too but all we get to see of her prep is a reheated instagram story of her taping her feet into her shoes. Back at the hotel, Kim is stuffing her face with pizza and begging Disney to buy her the diamonds she wore to walk the carpet. Kim heads to an after-party before catching a 4am flight back to LA to drop off North before flying to Paris.

Next time on The Kardashians:

Kim heads to Paris to serve as a witness in the trial of the criminals who robbed her nine years earlier.
