Keeping Up With The Kardashians Season 8: Episode 18 - Kris and Kourtney

by Jessica Blackwell

 

Finally,  the episode that everyone has been waiting for -  beautiful North was born!  Unfortunately, KImYe made good on their promise, and North was not featured on the show, but the cameras caught all the drama that unfolded beforehand.  Besides all the excitement from the baby, some of the stuff caught on camera eluded to events that are happening now in the world of the Kardashians. 

 

Bruce made a new friend, and their relationship turned pretty weird, pretty quick. His man of choice was comedian Jeff Donovan, and I guess it's been a while since either of them had a friend, because what they were actually doing was dating, they just didn't realize it! Bruce outright admitted that if Jeff played golf, he would have married him! They started spending a ton of time together, leading Brody to advise Bruce to take a step back, and play hard to get - the proper dating advice. A scorned Jeff showed up at the Malibu pad, questioning where Bruiser had been. I really hope that this er.. friendship didn't turn into something more and that's why the Jenners are separated! 

 

After a night out with Scott, Khloé had an encounter with a self-admitted former crack baby/prostitute. After asking silly questions, like "why did you choose to live on the street," as if anyone chooses to live on the street, it seems that Khloé had a realization about how other people live. This was yet another totally scripted moment on the show. I'm not buying the whole, wide-eyed, I didn't know people lived like this acting that Khloé was doing. First, she's the most down to earth out of her entire family, and second, her father used to take all his kids down to skid row several times a year. I think the whole thing was a nod to Lamar Odom's suspected drug use. Nonetheless, despite balking from Kourtney, ("why do you even care about those people") Khloé was determined to find out how someone's life could spiral out of control. After volunteering at a women's shelter, she sat down with some of the ladies and talked about how their addiction problems started. It seemed like she wanted to know how far a drug problem can really go, maybe to figure out just how much trouble her husband was in. 

 

As the entire world knows, Kim had to give birth to North suddenly, and we now know it was because she developed Toxemia, which is a life threatening high blood pressure condition, and the only cure is to deliver the baby right away. After a quick delivery that Kim described as painless, baby North came into the world. Kim had everyone that she loved around her, including her sisters, her mom, and Kanye.  Kris later responded to the joyous event  by yanking 4 dozen pink balloons in the air, screaming "she was born mother f*ckers!" Real nice proclamation about your grand daughter's birth Kris, I'm sure she'll be touched when she sees it on camera in 10 years. 

 

From the moment Kris found out that Kim had to give birth suddenly, she was a ball of nerves and anxiety. Since North was a whopping five weeks early, the nursery had to be finished, accommodations had to be made for the baby nurse, etc. Kris worked super hard to get the all white nursery together, but all her work didn't meet the demands of super mom Kourtney, who made her completely change the room around. 

 

After an exhausting day watching her sister give birth, Khloé headed to Malibu to inform Bruce of the birth. It all seemed weird, shouldn't his wife have called him to let him know how everything went down? I guess the Malibu beach house was the first sign of trouble, and their current separation should come as no surprise. 

 

Towards the end of the episode, Kim used a completely staged moment with Khloé to take jabs at her haters and reveal how she's doing with her baby. I mean, we all know the show is kind of scripted, but it felt like Khloé was interviewing her, not like a real conversation. However the avenue, Kim's message was clear: she's dropped her baby, her body will be better than ever, and her hater can f*** off. 

 

Next time, Kim contemplates going on her mom's new talk show, and Khloé has more trouble with Lamar. Stay tuned!
