This week’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians (Thursdays at 8pET on E!) started out with a bang — and a WAP — as the young billionaire Kylie joined Cardi B on the set of their now infamous music video collaboration. While Meg Thee Stallion was sadly nowhere to be seen, Kris Jenner was there to supervise as Kylie sexy-walked through a fancy hallway in a leopard print thong getup and thigh-high boots. (Let’s say it together: “You’re doing amazing, sweetie!”)

Cardi was in total fangirl mode, gushing over Kylie and saying she “prayed for this.” It was the purest, sweetest moment you never expected to see on the set of the WAP video, and Kris was loving every second.

Back in Malibu where everyone was not on vacation, Kim and Scott started playing a casual game of table tennis (spoiler: neither one of them is very good at table tennis). Enter Khloe, who had a bone to pick with Scott after he left a comment on a photo she had recently posted to Instagram.

In the image, which was an ad for her Good American brand, Khloe posed in a black bikini, a sultry look on her face. “Tristan is a lucky man!” Scott commented, which promptly blew up the Internet with reconciliation rumours (and near-immediate judgement about said reconciliation). Khloe was not impressed, though Tristan called the comment “dope” and didn’t think it was a big deal.

The post was flooded with insults and clown emojis, which upset Khloe and left her feeling irritated with Scott, who didn’t think she should care so much about public opinion. Kim joined in the conversation and agreed with Scott, telling Khloe to stop caring so much about what other people think.

“I don’t want to be pressured to give answers that I don’t have for myself,” Khloe eventually explained, admitting that she still had her guard up about a romantic relationship with Tristan. She was happy he was down to have another baby and acknowledged that he’d turned into a pretty good partner and father, but she wasn’t ready to make things official quite yet.

“My soul is at a breaking point of how much I can handle, in regards to the public thinking they’re allowed to talk about my weight, my face, my personal life,” Khloe told Tristan once they were alone. “It’s like, actually, I don’t want to hear this anymore.”

As their heart-to-heart came to a close, she told him she just didn’t have it in her anymore to deal with public scrutiny. It was bad for her spirit and her mental health, she asserted, deciding to work on letting things go.

Meanwhile, Kim was dealing with her own struggle as Kanye continued to rant on Twitter, sharing intimate details about their life and implying that he didn’t want to be married to Kim or interact with her family. He’d also announced his candidacy for the U.S. presidency, which amused Malika to no end.

“Are you going to be the next First Lady?” Malika asked Kim, cracking up as she joked about Kanye’s bid for office. Kim was not amused, looking sad and exhausted as she told Malika it had been a long day and she didn’t want to talk about Kanye on camera.

The SKIMS mogul ended up having some tense conversations over the phone while in Malibu, telling the person on the other end of the line that she wanted to fly out to Wyoming to be with Kanye and support him but “he doesn’t want that.”

Over lunch that same day, momager Kris told Khloe and Kourtney that she was worried about Kim. Khloe agreed, saying, “I know because she’s not talking about it, even to us privately, it’s really affecting her.” Kourtney agreed. “She can’t possibly navigate this on her own.”

The sisters decided to plan a girls' night in to take Kim’s mind off her marital issues, using the opportunity to book “baby crazy” Kendall as a sitter for the night.

That’s right — after Kendall casually admitted to wanting kids at some point and having a bit of baby fever, Khloe and Malika decided to scare her out of having a baby by leaving her in charge of Malika’s four-month-old son, Ace. The plan backfired when Kendall had a great time, even after Malika terrified her with a brief lecture on diapers and penis direction.

Undeterred by Kendall’s success, Khloe decided to challenge her to a night with three toddlers: Chicago, True and Psalm. Soon after their parents took off, the cousins were fighting over toys, crying and tackling each other to the ground as Kendall looked on in both horror and affection. But, Aunt Kenny got it under control, getting all three kids to bed and saying the experience didn’t turn her off motherhood at all. Kendall for the win!

As girls' night happened in Malibu, a pajama-clad Kim, Khloe and Kourtney had dinner together on the patio. Khloe quickly took the opportunity to dig into Kourtney’s sex life because “Kim loves gossip,” so Kourtney had to “take one for the team” in order to make the middle sister happy. Right!

The sisters did end up talking about Kanye briefly, with Kourtney mentioning that Ye had called her to talk about Kim, his tweets and all of the drama.

Sensing that things were taking a sad turn, Khloe immediately changed the subject and got everyone super drunk. As in, wine-fueled arm wrestling, drinking straight from the bottle on a trampoline and kicking boxes off each other’s heads drunk. Nicely done, Khlo. Nobody was thinking about Kanye anymore!

In the car the next day, Khloe took a moment to tell Kim that the whole family loved her and was there if she needed them, adding that she supported Kim no matter what she chose to do in her marriage. Kim was grateful but explained that she had to figure out some things on her own.

Since these scenes were filmed sometime last summer, there’s still a long way to go before Kim actually files for divorce. The good news? No matter what, her family has her back.
