Kim Kardashian opens up about the struggles she’s facing raising four children, admitting she even goes so far to lock herself in a bathroom to escape the chaos.

The new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians – entitled This Is Going to be Really Hot Tea – followed Kim as she was en route to jury duty, when she called a mystery friend and vented about her kids.

The reality star – who was recently bashed for buying Janet Jackson’s iconic ‘If’ outfit – admits that she’s a ‘pushover’ and wishes she could be ‘strict’ like her sister Khloe Kardashian, while revealing details about her chaotic home life.

The episode transitions to Kim, who is, ‘still in jury duty,’ as Kim says in the car, ‘I’m tired already, but like, I’ve gotta get out of this. Tomorrow is my birthday.’

‘I still haven’t been excused, and honestly, I have no idea why they would want to keep me, just knowing about how public I’ve been about my empathy towards the defendant’s situation,’ Kim says in confession.

Kim is in the car making a phone call to someone, asking, ‘Hey can I vent for one sec? It’s been an extra troubling week where I was just like I can’t do it anymore.’

‘I just… anything in that home is just chaotic right now. Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was I had a Zoom at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming, and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked as I was just like, I can’t believe this. I mean I can believe it, but that’s like my biggest nightmare,’ she says to this mystery person.

She adds in confession, ‘Sometimes it gets just like a little intense. I want to be more strict like Khloe but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying no is no. I think I also just don’t want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.’

She tells the mystery caller that she’s, ‘open to anything at this point, because I just can’t live like this, like I’ve ran out of my patience and that what my like superpower was, calm and patience.’

Kim adds in confession, ‘They know when to con me and when to throw the little, you know, start with the tears so I’m like, “Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad,” you know, just stop.’

‘I just have to be like, “I don’t care if you’re gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone right now. The answer is no,”’ Kim added in confession.

She tells the mystery caller, ‘I don’t have that support and that really sucks and I know I really have to like get it together.’

She continues in confession, ‘You know, I’ll always be there for my kids and I’ll ride out anything with them, but to say that it doesn’t take an emotional toll sometimes, would be lying.’

‘I just… anything in that home is just chaotic right now. Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was I had a Zoom at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming, and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked as I was just like, I can’t believe this. I mean I can believe it, but that’s like my biggest nightmare,’ she says to this mystery person.

‘This is so hard for me this week in that area,’ Kim tells the caller, while adding in confession, ‘Managing four kids and a household where they’re like not getting and they all want different things and I’m only one person. This always shuts them up. I always say, “OK guys, do you want me to just cut myself in halves or in fours and a part will go with you and a part will go with you.” And they like look at me like, “No don’t ever do that!” And I’m like, “Well OK that’s the only option if you all want me at the same exact time. We’ve got to chill. I’ll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out.’

She adds on the phone, ‘I took her phone after a day I gave it to her, I’m such a pushover, but I took it for 24 hours.’

Kim arrives at her destination and she ends the call with the mystery person.

The episode begins with Khloe Kardashian arriving at her mother Kris’ house to talk about Kim’s birthday that’s coming up.

‘It’s birthday season. I came here to talk about Kim’s birthday. I don’t love being the birthday planner, but I’m a control freak because I know it will get done in a way Kim wants it done.’

Khloe takes a seat in her mother’s massaging chair and Kris adds, ‘That thing was so strong and fabulous but my legs were getting squished.’

Khloe asks why and Kris says, ‘I think I have a circulation problem and I really have ringing in my ears constantly.’

Khloe says in confession, ‘I absolutely love my mom, but I feel like every other day or every other week, I’m getting a text or a phone call of her… just complaining of another ailment that’s on the rise.’

‘This is so hard for me this week in that area,’ Kim tells the caller, while adding in confession, ‘Managing four kids and a household where they’re like not getting and they all want different things and I’m only one person. This always shuts them up. I always say, “OK guys, do you want me to just cut myself in halves or in fours and a part will go with you and a part will go with you.” And they like look at me like, “No don’t ever do that!” And I’m like, “Well OK that’s the only option if you all want me at the same exact time. We’ve got to chill. I’ll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out’

Kris tells Khloe, ‘I think I’m probably losing my hearing,’ as Khloe responds, ‘Mom, stop it,’ though Kris persists.

‘It’s a very monotone and it’s very consistent and it never changes,’ Kris adds, as Khloe responds, ‘Noice.’

Kris adds, ‘It is a noise,’ though Khloe keeps saying the slang-ish term for “Nice,” as she finally catches on.

Khloe continues in confession, ‘And with the amount of yachts my mom has traveled on maybe she has some water stuck in her ear.’

Kris continues to tell Khloe, ‘But I have a ringing in my ears 24/7,’ as Khloe explains, ‘Do you know that there’s an actual background hum in this room?’

Kris responds, ‘Mine goes with me everywhere, in any room,’ as she explains in confession, ‘That frequency it’s like a…’ while making a high pitched sound, adding, ‘and it doesn’t stop.’

’What does that mean? Is it always gonna be there? Is there a solution? Is there a cure? I mean, there’s all these unanswered questions. Does it get louder? Do you lose your hearing?’

Kris tells Khloe, ‘I’m hoping that Corey will be just as attracted to me when I have a hearing aid and I don’t even have any hair to cover it.’

Khloe retorts, ‘You don’t need a hearing aid. (Kris’ mother) MJ doesn’t have a hearing aid. Your mother, knocking on 90, doesn’t have a hearing aid, and she’s as… like, what? Smart as a whip, or what is the expression?’

‘Bright as a tack,’ Kris retorts, though Khloe asks, ‘What? Why is a tack bright? That’s not the expression,’ when Kris finally finds it: ‘Sharp as a tack.’

‘Bright as a light, sharp as a tack, yeah,’ Kris says, as Khloe says in confession, ‘My mom is the queen of f***ing up phrases, and not in a good way.’

Kris asks, ‘Do you hear that buzzing?’ But Khloe motions to the vibrating chair and says, ‘Wow, you got this, I believe in you,’ while Scott Disick arrives at Kris’ house.

Kris reads from her phone, ‘85,000 people got rid of this infuriating ringing noise and reclaimed their health,’ as Scott yells, ‘Hello’ while walking through the house… adding, ‘I said Hello!’ when he isn’t answered the first time.

Kris keeps reading from her phone, ‘A dangerous activity happening inside a tiny part in my brain, Hello,’ while Khloe tells Scott to take his shoes off.

‘If untreated, dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s could be in my future,’ Kris says, while Scott asks what she said and Kris says, ‘I can’t hear.’

‘Let me tell you something, you’re looking young,’ Scott says, continuing to pepper Kris with compliments, but when she adds again, ‘I can’t hear,’ Scott screams and Kris jumps, as he says, ‘Your ears are fine.’

Scott sits in the massage chair as Khloe asks him, ‘Scott, you’re gonna stop losing weight, right? You look amazing but like…’

‘Maybe like three more pounds,’ Scott says softly, as Khloe reacts, ‘Three? Oof.’

‘But honestly, I had no idea how horrible it was, what I was doing at night, eating those little bread things, what are they? Kylie loves them too she always keeps them in the car,’ as they realize he’s talking about Hawaiian Rolls.

‘I was pounding a whole box of them a night, I loved them,’ Scott admits, which stuns Kris and Khloe, as Scott adds, ‘But I didn’t realize what I was doing, and then I didn’t know the whole thing about ginger ale being the same as a soda.’

Kris exclaims, ‘What?’ Scott says, ‘I know, it just seemed like a soothing drink so…’ as Khloe asks, ‘So every night you would have a ginger ale?’

‘No! All day I would drink gingers! I was going through 20 gingers a day!’ Scott says as they get down to business and discuss Kim’s birthday.

‘So it’s about that time that it’s birthday season. So Kim’s is coming up, then it’s Halloween, then it’s Kendall’s, then it’s Kris’. I’m a f***ing control freak,’ Khloe says, as Scott mentions, ‘You’re everything. You’re a control freak and beautiful.’

Khloe mentions in confession, ‘I 100% am a control freak and I find that to be a beautiful compliment, so thank you very much.’

Khloe continues, ‘So I sent everyone the RSVP email, lifers, the Milan chat, all the siblings, all the girls,’ before saying she has to go to her kids’, ‘first hip-hop dance class.’

‘So it’s about that time that it’s birthday season. So Kim’s is coming up, then it’s Halloween, then it’s Kendall’s, then it’s Kris’. I’m a f***ing control freak,’ Khloe says, as Scott mentions, ‘You’re everything. You’re a control freak and beautiful.’

Khloe adds that Saturday is ballet and this is hip-hop, as Scott says, ‘Well it was great seeing both of you young girls, you look great.’

Kris shows them Kendall shooting a Tommy Hilfiger campaign in her backyard right now, as Khloe says, ‘That is so cute. She is quite spectacular.’

The episode transitions to Kim, who gets into a waiting car and says it’s too late for her to get breakfast.

She adds in confession, ‘It’s my birthday week, and on top of everything that I’ve got going on, I’ve been called to do jury duty, and I can’t get out of this one.’

Kim reflects in the car, ‘I wonder what kind of like O.J. thing I can say, I feel like there is some kind of O.J. connection that will get me out of jury duty,’ admitting in confession, ‘Just kidding.’

She adds in confession, ‘But I think it’s fascinating, the process, and I think it’s a duty that we owe. I respect that, but it would be really hard for me to convict someone, knowing the conditions they were going in to, because I don’t think that prisons are really set up to be rehabilitation centers. I would want to serve, but it would be hard for me to make that decision.’

Kim adds in the car with a laugh, ‘I told my kids I would go to jail if I was late, I had to hurry,’ as she adds in confession, ‘Also just I don’t have time for this s**t. I am a single mom of four and it is wild.’

They show some flashback footage where Kim says, ‘Right when I think I have two minutes just to wash my hair, MOM! And they open the door to the shower.’

Back in confession she says, ‘I almost feel like my kids have this radar where they know that I’m doing something really important.’

She shows an example, a confession shot where her son Saint interrupts saying, ‘They have Kobe shoes at the mall’ and falling off the confession couch.

Kim jokes, ‘I thought I was gonna end up on an episode of Snapped yesterday,’ before adding in confession, ‘I don’t know why I don’t have it in me to be super strict. None of my parents were strict. Khloe is a lot better at being stricter. I wish I was more like that but, you know, I’m just one person and it’s overwhelming. Just how do I go about doing this all?’

The episode cuts back to Kris’ house where she welcomes Kendall and her friend Hannah Cohen, as Kris says, ‘I’m so glad you guys are here, big crazy night.’

Kris explains in confession, ‘Kendall is a huge Golden Bachelor fan. She’s absolutely obsessed with Gerry. She is beyond, beyond glued to the TV every time it comes on, so, I asked them if they could arrange a dinner with Gerry the Golden Bachelor, by the way, I’m a huge fan too. Can’t be more excited.’

Kris tells Kendall and Hannah, ‘Guys, he probably just got engaged,’ as Kendall says, ‘I know, which, good for him, I hope he did.’

Kendall adds in confession, ‘My mom, of course in her Kris Jenner ways, figured it out, pulled some strings with Disney and Hulu and got Gerry to come over for dinner, while the season is airing, which is really special.’

Kendall admits to Kris and Hannah, ‘I think this is the most excited I’ve been in a really long time,’ while Hannah asks, ‘Have you heard that there’s a look-alike?’

Kris explains in confession, ‘Kendall is a huge Golden Bachelor fan. She’s absolutely obsessed with Gerry. She is beyond, beyond glued to the TV every time it comes on, so, I asked them if they could arrange a dinner with Gerry the Golden Bachelor, by the way, I’m a huge fan too. Can’t be

‘Yeah… literally it’s you and dad,’ Kendall explains, while they show pictures of two of the contestants who bear resemblances to both Caitlyn Jenner and Kris.

Kendall asks if she’s up to date, which Kris says she is, while Gerry’s car arrives, as Kendall wonders, ‘Do we want to know if he ends up… like we dont’ have to say who, or like ruin it, but like, are you with someone? I kind of want to know,’ as Gerry arrives.

Kendall gives him a hug and says, ‘It’s nice to meet you,’ before Kris gives him a hug as well, adding, ‘We’re your biggest three fans in the world.’

Gerry adds, ‘Well, my daughters are your biggest fans,’ as Kris asks where is phone is, saying they have to, ‘do a Facetime. Are they awake?’

Gerry adds with a smile, ‘Well I don’t know how to do that,’ as Kris takes the phone and asks where their numbers are.’

While they’re setting it up, a text comes through, and Hannah says, ‘We don’t want to read his texts,’ as Kris jokes, ‘We don’t? Maybe we do,’ as they set the Facetime up.

‘Mark my words, by the end of this dinner, I will absolutely know who the winner is,’ Kris boasts in confession.

They all go to sit down as Kendall adds in confession, ‘I can’t even lie. This feels good right now,’ as Kris starts peppering Gerry with questions.

Kendall asks if she’s up to date, which Kris says she is, while Gerry’s car arrives, as Kendall wonders, ‘Do we want to know if he ends up… like we dont’ have to say who, or like ruin it, but like, are you with someone? I kind of want to know,’ as Gerry arrives.

‘So what’s happening? Are you enjoying your journey?’ Kris asks, as Gerry insists, ‘I’m having a ball.’

Kris asks, ‘Wait, are you at the end? Is it done?’ Gerry admits, ‘It is,’ as both Kendall and Kris say they have, ‘serious questions,’ and Gerry adds, ‘This is so fun, by the way.’

‘It’s fun for us too!’ Kendall insists, while Kris asks point blank – ‘Did you find a match?’

Gerry clams up, as Kris says, ‘Mom I don’t think he can…’ as Kris continues and asks, ‘What color hair does she have?’

They all start laughing as Kris encourages Gerry to, ‘Have a sip of your martini,’ as Kendall jokes, ‘Getting him drunk to find answers.’

Kris then asks, ‘Gerry, what happened in your fantasy suites?’

‘I’m very happy about the overnights,’ Gerry begins, as Kris jokes, ‘I’m sure you are,’ though Gerry continues, ‘Yeah, but not for the reason you’re thinking.’

‘If you spend five weeks getting to know women, yet everything you say and do is recorded, you’re dying to get to that overnight where you can ask the questions without an audience,’ Gerry insists.

Kendall adds in confession, ‘I have so many questions. Like I feel like this is gonna be really, really hot tea.’

They show a slew of questions from Kris, Kendall and Hannah, including Kris asking, ‘Does you know who come back?’

Kendall asks, ‘Are the names on the back of the rose?’ Kris asks, ‘What was your favorite day?’ Hannah asks, ‘How do you balance falling in love with multiple women?’

They never show the answers to those questions, as Kendall admits, ‘The poor guy, we’re like literally bombarding him,’ as Kendall at the dinner asks, ‘Like if they were saying like I’m so in love with you did you ever feel pressure to say it back?’

Back in confession, Kendall says, ‘I’m sorry but like this is definitely an opportunity that I need to take to ask the real questions.’

Back at the dinner, Kris asks, ‘Gerry, how tall were they?’ Hannah asks if he had to, ‘cut anyone off,’ as he says, ‘Drink-wise? No, oh no. To my knowledge none of them were heavy drinkers.’

Kendall turns to Kris and says, ‘So Susan’s not so much like you,’ as Hannah can’t help but laugh, as Kris admits, ‘I love a good martini.’

Hannah asks, ‘What’s one thing you learned about yourself from the show?’

Gerry says, ‘That I get emotional so easy. Each rose ceremony was difficult. It was awful, it was loss,’ as Kendall gasps and says, ‘See, I love how emotionally intelligent you are. I mean, it probably comes with the age as well, but it’s so beautiful.’

Gerry jokes, ‘I’m not smart, I’m just old,’ as Kendall insists, ‘I”m sure there’s men that don’t put that together, ever.’

Kris asks, ‘So, do you think you found your person, Gerry?’ Kendall jokes, ‘Yeah, and what color eyes does she have,’ though Gerry doesn’t respond.

‘Listen, we’re just so happy that you’re here, and my prayer for you is that I hope that you found happiness and some love in your life,’ Kris says, as Gerry thanks her for the kind words.

They all raise their glasses, as Kris says in confession, ‘It’s very interesting to see the people over the age of 50 actually have a dating life or want to find love again. I think that’s super sweet and relatable to someone my age. I think it gives women of a certain age a lot of hope.’

They all retire to the theater, where they watch the latest episode of The Golden Bachelor, while Kendall reveals a secret in confession.

‘So, something I’ve been keeping to myself and it’s been really hard… I saw things that I shouldn’t have seen,’ Kendall admits, as they show a shot from earlier as Kendall whispers, ‘Hannah, did you not see what I saw? I saw his phone. And he called her like five times.’

Kendall proclaims, ‘I know who wins… I think, I’m assuming, because I’ve seen some things that I shouldn’t have seen.’

She says into the camera excitedly, ‘I saw Gerry’s phone, I know who wins,’ to Hannah, explaining, ‘He was scrolling through his phone and I saw his call log.’

Back in confession, Kendall says, ‘So when my mom – I’m gonna blame it all on my mom – when my mom was obviously innocently trying to help him find out how to call his daughter, I saw him call the girl like eight times that day.’

A producer adds, ‘This is going to air after their finale airs. Do you want to share who wins?’

‘Theresa,’ Kendall says with a smirk, as one of the crew members or producers is heard shouting, ‘No!’

Theresa Nist, a 70-year-old financial services professional from Shrewsbury, New Jersey, did in fact win The Golden Bachelor, tying the knot with Gerry in a live ABC special dubbed The Golden Wedding in early January… though they announced in April they were divorcing.

Back in the theater, Kendall admits, ‘I ruined the whole thing, I didn’t even mean to,’ but Hannah admits, ‘I’m kinda glad we know this.’

Kendall adds in confession, ‘Unless, like he knows another woman by this name, and he was calling her all day long, but I don’t think that’s the case.’

Gerry poses for selfies with Kris as Kendall and Hannah talk about their newfound revelation.

‘I saw it and I felt like I was looking through a boyfriend’s phone and I saw things I shouldn’t have seen, like my heart dropped,’ Kendall told Hannah.

‘I literally saw her name and I was like, “Ahhh,”’ Kendall tells Hannah, while, back in the kitchen, Kris has ‘one last question’ for Gerry that was, ‘really important.’

‘Tell me about the hearing aids, because I have been experiencing a bit of ringing in my ears. Did you ever hear the ringing?’

Gerry responds, ‘Oh, it was bad. It slowly but steadily a little louder, a little worse,’ as Kris asks, ‘When do you know that you’re ready for a hearing aid?’

‘I think when you feel like you’re frustrated enough that you’re missing too much, it’ll be time to go,’ Gerry admits.

Kris says, ‘One of the thing that intrigued me about you was your ability to just talk about that, which is, you know, hard for me to talk about at my age. I feel a little bit vulnerable.’

Gerry adds, ‘Everyone is different. I don’t feel self-conscious about them at all. It’s ear candy, by the way.’

Kendall calls for Kris as they join Kendall and Hannah in the theater to watch the new episode, as Kris adds in confession, ‘I think the message of the Golden Bachelor is that everybody loves love,’ as Gerry joins them on the couch and says, ‘This is like fantasy land for me.’

‘And you never stop looking for that dream of being in love and wanting to spend your life with someone,’ Kris says in confession, as they watch the show, and Kendall points out the contestant Susan that resembles Kris, as they have a laugh.

The episode transitions to Kourtney who is getting glam with hair stylist Dimitris Giannetos and makeup artist Leah Darcy.

‘Ooh, I just started thinking like do I need stuff for Palm Springs? Do I need stuff for…’ as Leah continues, ‘Do you need glam for after you give birth, in the hospital?’

‘Yes,’ Kourtney insists, adding, ‘My mom would always get glam before giving birth, she wasn’t even famous’ as they show a throwback pic of Kris holding presumably Kourtney at birth.

Kourtney adds in confession, ‘Today I am shooting with the Morelli Brothers. My doctors gave me very specific strict orders of how to do this shoot. I’m allowed to shoot for two hours tops, and we made sure that it was 10 minutes away from the house and can stop at any time if I’m not feeling up to it.’

Kris stops by, stating, ‘I came to check on you and surprise you and see how the boys are doing. How are you feeling?’

Kourtney says she’s feeling good, as Kris grabs the pad on her belly, asking if it’s a, ‘heating pad,’ but Kourtney says, ‘It’s a radiation blanket, so it protects (the baby bump) from my computer.’

‘Of course you have a radiation blanket,’ Kris says, as Kourtney adds that she has a radiation phone case.’

Kourtney adds in confession, ‘Today I am shooting with the Morelli Brothers. My doctors gave me very specific strict orders of how to do this shoot. I’m allowed to shoot for two hours tops, and we made sure that it was 10 minutes away from the house and can stop at any time if I’m not feeling up to it’

‘I have a feeling that after this next week, you’re gonna be on bed rest,’ Kris proclaims, but Kourtney says, ‘Oh I am on bed rest.’

‘I know, but I mean even like you won’t be here trying to do this or that,’ Kris explains, as Kourtney adds, ‘I’m like 70% on bedrest and my doctor gave a note like I have to be sitting or laying for the shoot. I can stand only for 20 minutes at a time, but they also don’t want me on full bedrest because they want me to walk around and not get clots.’

Kris asks what the Erehwon drink is, as Kourtney asks if she wants to try it, adding, ‘Whenever I feel like I’m getting sick, I literally have it as my meal, and I don’t get sick.’

Kris adds, ‘Oh, would somebody text Matt that fact? ‘Cause he’s not feeling well and he hasn’t been at home in 12 years, so he must be sick.’

They both try their drinks as Kourtney tells Kris to, ‘mix it up,’ as Kris says she’s going to go in her office for a little bit.’

‘Do you actually like work there?’ Kourtney asks, as Kris says, ‘Yeah, several times a week, my angel.’

‘I didn’t know that you come here and actually do it. I thought it was just an office for show,’ Kourtney says, as Kris says, ‘Well I wasn’t coming today, but I came here to see you.’

‘Well thank you for checking on me, mother,’ Kourtney says, as Kris retreats to her office in the back.

Kourtney adds in confession, ‘The last time I was pregnant was nine years ago, so I was 35 and in this pregnancy, the doctors are more cautious, but I feel exactly the same. I’m an ageless wonder.’

The Morelli Brothers arrive, and Kourtney says she’s, ‘saving my energy’ for the photo shoot as he compliments her on the look.

They both help her up off the couch, as Kourtney says in confession, ‘I feel really good, but I just have to be super careful, like I can’t twist. I have a whole list of things I can’t do.’

The brothers give her direction and say they will, ‘make it work,’ as they compliment her energy.’

She calls husband Travis Barker calls from his Blink-182 tour, saying his last show was good, as she asks, ‘How’s my baby’s thumbs?’

He shows her his taped-up thumbs and says, ‘It hurts so much,’ while Kourtney says in confession, ‘Travis has been on tour, the third trimester, I just haven’t been able to travel.’

A producer says, ‘The baby is staying in there,’ as Kourtney adds, ‘He is waiting for his daddy, and we have conversations all the time, like, “You’re good, you’re growing, you’re happy, you’re healthy, you’re safe.’

They show a montage of various different looks from the shoot, as Kourtney adds, ‘I have a scar from my surgery where they went into my amniotic sac, so I’m like a fragile little egg.’

Kourtney is seen looking at all the shots, saying she loves the black and white snaps before thanking the photographers.

A producer asks, ‘How are you feeling?’ Kourtney responds, ‘I feel exhausted,’ adding, ‘I’m getting like tight and like I feel like it’s time.’

‘About an hour and a half into two looks and then, you know, we talked about doing three and I just said let me see how my body is feeling, and once I laid down I just felt like, “That’s it. I’m just gonna listen to my body. There’s no reason to push this. Obviously, my health and the baby’s health comes first.’

Kris comes back and asks, ‘Did you get enough? Kourtney says, ‘Yes, we got such good looks,’ as Kris says, ‘I could just sit in there and be like a body double, you’d never know, I’ll put a wig on and put that big pillow right here and I am a professional pregnant person with lots of experience.’

‘Aren’t you just sad that you’ll never be pregnant again?’ Kourtney asks. Kris says, ‘Don’t make me cry. Pregnancy is my most beautiful experience, especially my first one, my lil pepper. Oh yeah, you turned out really spicy, I wasn’t counting on that.’

‘I’m an Aries, I’m a spice,’ Kourtney insists.

The episode cuts to Scott Disick’s house where Kris and Khloe arrive.

‘Whoa that’s a serious outfit,’ Scott says as Kris walks up in all black, as Khloe jokes, ‘It’s like we’re in two different climates.’

Scott jokes, ‘This is like two different atmospheres,’ while Khloe adds, ‘Mom is in the movie Terminator right now.’

‘Khloe and I are going to visit Scott today to meet Penelope’s new dog and I can’t wait to meet… her or him, I’m not sure.’

Penelope comes down with an adorable new puppy as Kris holds the dog, as Khloe says, ‘She doesn’t even like animals.’

Scott adds the new puppy – Lulu – ‘is teething a little but she’s a very nice little dog,’ as Kris says, ‘She’s so cute.’

Khloe takes the puppy, insisting, ‘You don’t even like animals,’ as Khloe drops it in the tiny plush doggy bed.

‘I thought it was bigger than it was,’ Khloe said of the pooch.

Khloe says Kris, ‘looks really skinny’ and that, ‘Scott, you look good,’ though Disick adds, ‘I still haven’t found a girlfriend.’

Khloe laughs and he asks if she’s found a boyfriend or gone on a date, and Khloe says she hasn’t, as Scott asks, ‘How do we do this?’

‘I don’t want to,’ Khloe insists, as Kris rolls her eyes in front of the cameras, as Khloe continues, ‘Once I’m done with the kids at 9, I have limited time. I have to be up at 4:30 AM. 9 PM to 4:30 AM. That is my time. I’m not sharing it with a man. I’m not sharing my TV. I’m not sharing my bed.’

Scott asks, ‘Is there any like hope for Tristan at this point? Or is that just…’ as Khloe immediately responds, ‘No, no.’

Khloe scoffs in confession, adding, ‘Oh my God, are you kidding me? This is life, like we’ve all gotta grow up and move on.’

Scott adds, ‘So that door is closed?’ Khloe insists, ‘The door is closed.’

Scott adds, ‘That’s great that you’re like super friendly,’ and Khloe says, ‘Yeah, I’m not, what am I going to be a monster for?’

Khloe says in confession, ‘I feel like everyone has been really judgy about how I spend my time because I’m not dating, because I stopped dating Tristan when Tatum was in utero, so, I don’t know, two and a half years I’m not dating, is not that crazy.’

Scott adds, ‘It’s good for the kids, but it is probably hard for both of you to date then,’ as Khloe asks, ‘Why would it be hard for me to date?’

Khloe says in confession, ‘I do love that it’s good for the kids, but now that he’s in Cleveland, this is really really healthy for us, because when Tristan when was next door he still was always over. He was like, “I wanna put the kids to sleep.” Like he loved the routine and I was almost like, “F**k.”

Scott mumbles something about his ex living next to him and Khloe says, ‘If he wants to torture himself, that’s on him. You want to see all these men pulling up to my house, that’s your problem.’

‘I don’t know, I mean with all these kids running around it’s not like so sexy,’ Scott says, as Khloe adds, ‘I’m exhausted. I don’t want anything. I actually just want to lay in bed, watch my shows, decompress, get up, do my work, I don’t want anyone stopping my routine. I’m in my rhythm.’

‘Wait, I thought you don’t wanna do that?’ Scott asks, as Khloe insists, ‘Well not right now, that’s what I’m saying.’

‘But you’re gonna?’ Scott asks and Khloe says, ‘Eventually in life! You think I’m just gonna be celibate for the rest of my life?’

‘I feel like we both are,’ Scott says, and Khloe says, ‘Forever?’

‘I don’t know, I mean with all these kids running around it’s not like so sexy,’ Scott says, as Khloe adds, ‘I’m exhausted. I don’t want anything. I actually just want to lay in bed, watch my shows, decompress, get up, do my work, I don’t want anyone stopping my routine. I’m in my rhythm.’

Khloe adds in confession, ‘Let’s just say I’m dating. I have no idea how you’re supposed to date when you have kids, because, I’m not bringing you to my home where my kids are, and I’m not going to your home where you’re going to chop me up in your basement and kill me. And I’m also not going to a public restaurant or space where people can take pictures and you’re gonna be another notch on my belt in the public’s eyes, I don’t f***ing think so.’

Scott adds, ‘It would be nice to grow old with somebody,’ but Khloe just nods, as the episode transitions to Kris, who is at a doctor’s office to get her hearing checked.

‘I’m checking my hearing because my ears are ringing,’ Kris says, as Kendall says, ‘I didn’t know that about you. I didn’t know your ears are ringing.’

‘They’re ringing, I can’t hear,’ Kris says, adding softly, ‘Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that.’

Kris adds in confession, ‘I’m here at the ear doctor and I’m a little bit nervous. I think after talking to Gerry I feel a little bit relieved and calm about the process, but Kim’s birthday is coming up, and I’m wondering, “Do I have to wear a hearing aid for the first time to Kim’s party? What’s that gonna look like?’

Scott shows up for support before Dr. Nasseri comes in, as Kris says, ‘I can’t really here,’ adding she wants him to look at her throat.

Kendall says in confession, ‘I think my mom is definitely a bit of a hypochondriac, but I think she’s just really dramatic.’

Kris insists in confession that she is not a hypochondriac, though both Kim and Khloe say in confession they think she is… though for whatever reason they add an extra ‘t’ to the end of the word, pronouncing it, ‘hypochondriact.’

‘What do they know? They don’t even pronounce it right. Hypochondriac, there’s no t,’ Kris says in confession, while Kim admits that Kendall is a hypochondriac too, as Khloe adds, ‘Her, Kendall and Kylie.’

‘I will fully own that I am a hypochondriac,’ Kendall says in confession, while Kylie adds in her confession, ‘Kendall definitely is. I’m like a close second.’

Back at the doctor’s office, Kris says, ‘Last night I actually felt like I needed an inhaler, and I just cough all day for 30 days,’ though Scott insists, ‘I haven’t heard you cough once.’

‘Anytime somebody has some sort of ailment, it definitely seeps onto her,’ Khloe says in confession.

‘When I was a kid, I went to my orthodontist and I’m like, “Just give me braces, I really want em,” and I feel like that’s my mom with a hearing aid. She just randomly really wants it.’

Kris takes the hearing test as Khloe says Kris, ‘loves to play up, only when it’s time for her to do something she doesn’t want to do.’

Kris retorts in confession, ‘Get the word right, and then we’ll talk.’

The test is done and the doctor says, ‘You were nowhere close to anywhere that needs any kind of aiding. You’re perfect,’ as Kris says, ‘Oh that’s good.’

Though he adds, ‘This is where we kind of ruin your life a little bit. You ready? So, if it tastes good, spit it up. So, carbonation, caffeine, onion, garlic, mint, no alcohol, which you really don’t drink,’ as Kris looks and winks into the camera.

‘And then cheese, all those things stimulate the inner ear to hear more tinnitus. Let’s see how you do on your ear diet,’ the doctor says.

Kris tells the camera, ‘I’m really happy I don’t need a hearing aid. I was kind of looking forward to tuning out the kids, but that would have been fun for awhile.’

‘Not to toot my own horn, but I was right. She does not need a hearing aid. I mean, she picks and chooses when these ailments come alive, because other than that, she is skipping and drinking and living life, I’ll just point that out,’ Khloe says in confession.

Kris is about to leave the doctor when she says, ‘No hearing aid today,’ and he says, ‘Not for at least 15 to 20 years.’

The episode transitions back to Khloe, where she’s in glam as True drives little Tatum into the room on a tiny vehicle.

Khloe says that her hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons taught Tatum, ‘how to say ‘Guncle’ (gay uncle), as he explains, ‘It’s because he keeps calling me dad, because I guess I look like a basketball player. But I was like, “No, Guncle,” and literally he goes, “Guncle.” He’s only 1.He literally said Guncle. I was so proud of him.’

Khloe adds in confession, ‘Tonight is Kim’s birthday party. This beautiful dinner that I’m throwing and it’s all Kimberly’s aesthetic and vibe.’

Khloe says, ‘Kim better not be 12 hours late to dinner, last year she was definitely over an hour,’ when she gets a call from Kim, asking if they are going together.

‘Sure. I was going with mom,’ Khloe says as Kim asks, ‘Can you guys pick me up?’ as Khloe agrees.

‘So what time realistically are you thinking about going because that’s what I was calling to see since last year you were definitely not on time, and you know how Kris is’ Khloe says.

‘I was gonna leave in like an hour, so 7:15 latest,’ Kim says, as Khloe adds, ‘OK, I can work with that.’

Kim says in confession, ‘This is what annoyed me with Khloe. I love a punctual person, but it’s just like a little ridiculous. Why do you need to be rigid about a schedule on my birthday?’

Khloe says in confession, ‘I am a rigid motherf***er.’

Khloe calls Kris, asking if it’s OK to pick up Kim, but Kris thinks there’s no way they’ll get there on time, joking, ‘Like we might get there on Tuesday.’

Khloe tells Kris that Kim said the latest she would get in the car was 7:15, asking Kris if she believes her, and she immediately says, ‘No, but it’s her party, so I guess…’ but Khloe insists, ‘I have to be on time, I’m the one throwing it.’

‘So are we picking her up or not? I need to prepare myself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually,’ Kris asks.

Kris says in confession they probably only picked her up, ‘because I was on camera,’ with a laugh.

They all get ready for the party as Kris and Khloe get in the SUV together, as Khloe says True was upset that Khloe left.

‘True was like, “Who is gonna put me to sleep?” I’m like, “True, Roya is gonna put you to sleep,” and she’s like, “Who’s gonna say my prayers?” I’m like, “Roya!”

Kris adds, ‘Well, maybe if you show me the routine and I memorize it and practice and then audition…’ Khloe says, ‘My nanny has been here over a year. This is her first time putting her to sleep because I’m such a lunatic.’

‘Yeah you are,’ Kris says, which earns some side-eye from Khloe, who says in confession, ‘Oh my God, everyone in my family shames my schedule. Everyone. But I just don’t care.’

Kim gets in the car in a skimpy strappy red dress as Khloe asks if she wants to open her birthday present and Kim says, ‘Hell yeah.’

‘Don’t you hate when you leave the house and you forget to say goodbye to your kids? I just forgot,’ Kim said sheepishly.

Kris says she’s done that but Khloe insists she’s never done that, as Kris launches into a story in confession.

‘Went to go buy a Christmas tree. I think Kendall and Kylie were like 4 and 5 and they were running up and down and I thought their dad was watching the kids and he thought I was watching the kids. Because we met there, I thought he was taking the kids back, and he thought I was taking the kids back, so we both left in our own cars and the kids never made it home. So yeah, they were OK, they were playing on the Christmas tree lot, waiting for us to realize that we left them there,’ Kris admits in confession.

Kim says she has to call Kourtney and tell her about a show, as Khloe says, ‘The naked show?’ And Kim says, ‘Yeah.’

Kourtney picks up and says they’re watching the show, adding, ‘We got through the first round. It’s so crazy,’ as Kris asks what they’re all watching.

‘It’s called Naked Attraction, it’s a dating show but they’re butt naked,’ Kim tells Kris, as Khloe says in confession, ‘They’re judging people, vagina, penis naked, like way too naked for me.’

Kim continues telling Kris, ‘And they judge you on your like actual disgusting wieners,’ as Khloe adds, ‘Or vaginas,’ as Kourtney says, ‘Or people who don’t shave their vaginas.’

Khloe adds in confession, ‘I didn’t know vaginas could look like that.’

Kourtney tells them to, ‘have so much fun tonight’ before disconnecting the call, as they arrive to the restaurant – Funke in Beverly Hills –  as we see some of the celebs coming to the party – Ivanka Trump, Kimora Lee Simons, Lauren Sanchez.

They all mingle as Kendall walks in wearing a leopard print bodysuit, revealing that she actually just ‘shot a campaign’ on her way in.

‘My Bottega campaigns are all paparazzi photos. So I literally just shot a campaign and walked in,’ Kendall says with a laugh.

‘What an amazing life you live,’ Khloe says, as we see Hailey Bieber arrive and give Kim a hug.

‘It makes me feel so good that everyone wanted to come out and celebrate and have dinner with us,’ as she greets Allison Statter and Malika Haqq.

‘So tonight, I just wanna celebrate with my girls and I think all of us just need that sometimes. This week in particular, has been complete chaos,’ Kim says in confession, as she’s seen at the party greeting friend Zoe Winkler.

‘But honestly, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends. Like I have the best friends and they’re super supportive. I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, is because I have the best friends in the entire world, and they mean everything to me,’ Kim adds in confession.

Back at the party, Kim poses with her group of friends referred to earlier in the episode as the, ‘lifers,’ as Kim says, ‘My camera does not know who all the lifers are.’

The six women include the previously seen Allison Statter and Zoe Winkler (daughter of Henry Winkler), plus Simone Harouche, Lindsay May, Sarah Meyer Michaelson and Ashley Kraines.

‘These are officially the lifers that I talk about all time time,’ Kim says into the camera at the party, while adding in confession, ‘I always say I hit the jackpot, in the friends department.’

‘Spending my 43rd birthday with all the girls who inspire me and motivate me, is just really special,’ she says, while seen with cousin Cici Bussey and friend Shelli Azoff.

They all sit down at several tables as it’s seen there each seat has a different version of a Kim mask at each seat, featuring different looks.

When they’re all seated, Kris proposes a toast, stating, ‘I just want to thank everybody for coming tonight, to celebrate Kim, her 43rd year on this planet. I fell in love with you the moment we met and I have been obsessed with you ever since. I just want to say that it’s such a special night when you can look at all of these beautiful faces and see all of your old friend and new friends,’ as Kim says she wants to chime in.

‘I’m not done yet,’ Kris insists, continuing, ‘It means so much to Kim that you guys are here and I love you all and thank you for coming.’

Kim starts to say her piece when Khloe yells at her to stand up and, ‘show off that body,’ which she does, stating, ‘So all of you here, whether you’re my lifers that I’ve known my whole life… you’re all my ride or dies, I trust all of you. At least everyone here has know one crazy secret about me and it’s never gotten out,’ as Kimora Lee Simmons says, ‘And vice versa!’

‘So this is the group, and here’s to another year of keeping my secrets,’ Kim says as the group applauds, while Khloe adds, ‘Where the f**k is Kylie? Will you text her?’

Kim casually says, ‘She’ll never show up,’ as they show various random shots from the party, as Kylie finally shows up.

‘She’s arrived,’ Kim says, as Kylie says, ‘I had a photoshoot. I’m not just late because I’m late,’ as she leans over the table and takes Kim’s hand.

‘I wasn’t late tonight for no reason. I had my Interview Magazine cover shoot and I’m exhausted, but I’m here, so, now the party can start,’ Kylie says in confession.

Khloe says in confession, ‘Kylie comes an hour late, but listen, she’s the fireworks at the end of the night, you always look forward to her.’

‘You have to accept people for who they are, and I wish people would accept me for who I am, and that’s a punctual… rigid person,’ Khloe says in confession.

Khloe and Kylie mingle as Kim says in confession, ‘What is my wish for me this year?’ as the siblings group up for the ‘sister photo.’

‘I think I have everything I could possibly want and need. I think I’ve gotten there and that I have a feeling like I know what’s really important in life, I know that being present in the moment is everything,’ Kim says in confession as they take the group pic.

‘And there’s no place I’d rather be tonight,’ Kim adds in confession, as the episode comes to an end.

The preview for next week’s episode shows Malika Haqq telling Khloe she wants to have another baby, but Khloe says, ‘With who?’

They go to a sperm bank while Kris has a chat with Kim about how she has, ‘a lot going on,’ as Kim says she’s gonna get her s**t together and she’s gonna be a ‘drill sergeant’ with her kids.

‘Like Khloe is so tough,’ Kim says, but when Kris asks if she’s talked with Khloe about this, Kim says, ‘No, because she’s just very judgmental.’
