The Kardashians Season 4, Episode 4 Recap: Kim Kardashian Goes Full Soccer Mom

The Kardashians Season 4 should truly be called the Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian show. The two sisters continue to show fans the most about their lives. We’ve barely seen the others all season — Kendall Jenner has been absent for essentially every episode. Not that I, a known Kendall snarker, really care that much.

The latest episode of The Kardashians thankfully had cameos from Kylie Jenner and Scott Disick to keep things interesting. Kim continued her international tour, this time, she embraced her soccer mom side. Here’s what went down in The Kardashians Season 4, Episode 4: “London Here We Come.”

King Kylie calls out Kim

The episode started off strong with a King Kylie scene, the underrated star of the season. She and Kim were hanging out in Calabasas, making up a sister handshake while wearing matching black outfits and Uggs. The vibe was authentic sister hangout and I was living for it. “Kylie is my twin flame forever she’s definitely obviously matured so much,” Kim said. However, she added that Kylie was back to her silly side and channeling one of her old eras. “She’s back to like Tumblr Kylie. You guys know Tumblr Kylie,” Kim added. We know her, love her, and can’t wait to see more of her.

Kylie also gifted Kim her favorite thing — fashion advice from her cool younger sister. When it came to her home decor, Kylie let it be known that she’s not a fan of Kim’s eye for design. “You’re just a minimalist and you don’t have anything in your house,” Kylie told her sister. “Her house like echoes because there’s just like no furniture.” We’ve seen the concrete nightmare that was Kim and Kanye West’s house, so I have to agree with King Kylie yet again on this one.

Scott’s unexpected matchmakers

The episode was truly centered around Scott’s dating life. Kris Jenner and Khloe decided to take matters into their own hands and meet with a matchmaker to find Scott a new girlfriend. While Scott joked that Khloe was his perfect woman (despite the fact that she’s, by default, his sister), he was open to the idea of getting set up. “I think Scott probably has a crush on Khloe. Listen, I have a crush on Khloe. Everyone has a crush on Khloe,” Kris admitted. True, but it doesn’t make it less weird.

Even his daughter Penelope Disick was ready for her dad to be in a relationship, but she shaded his tendency to date younger women. She wanted him to find someone older. “20s? You’re 40. You’re not going to date someone 19,” Penelope said. Scream it again for the people in the back.

Khloe and Kris met with five finalists from the matchmaker to narrow it down to one woman for Scott to take on a date. They ended up selecting a bubbly Jewish woman who Kris acknowledged looked like a Kardashian lookalike. Scott ended up liking the woman’s positive attitude, which is something Kris thought he needed in his life.

“I probably talked to her more than I talked to girls I dated for years,” Scott said. Now that’s a statement he should deeply evaluate and probably strongly consider Penelope’s advice on dating someone older. It’s uncertain if Scott and the new woman will have a future, but Kris was already planning on making him the next Bachelor if things really got dire.

Kim embraces her soccer mom side

If you took a shot every time Kim said “soccer mom” in the episode, you would be hammered halfway through. Kim, her three friends, and their four sons jetted out on Kim Air to London and Paris to see a series of soccer games. Saint is apparently a major soccer fan and Kim was ready to embrace that full-force with a European getaway. “I try to find what my kid’s passion is a do a trip with them,” Kim said.

Kim’s friends were quick to try to set Kim up with one of the soccer stars, being she was the only single one in the group. “It’s like you have desperation written on your face,” Kim said about being the single friend. However, she did admit that she’s ready to date someone her age and insinuated the Pete Davidson of it all inspired her to do so.

Kim took Saint and his friends on the ultimate soccer extravaganza. They hung out in box seats, met players, and got gifted a ton of gear. She ended the day allegedly drinking a Guinness in a local pub, even though the cameras didn’t film her taking a single sip. Kim’s already told us she’s not a beer girl, so why was she trying to pretend?

The Kardashian boys get their time to shine

The soccer trip and Scott’s dating dalliance put a spotlight on the men of the Kardashian clan for once, which is rare. Kim even talked about it when on her boys’ trip. “I do think that my household and even in my family it’s very female-dominated,” she mentioned. The female dominance not only inspired her to make Saint feel special with the soccer vacation, but it also led to Kim hiring a male nanny for her kids. Apparently, Kanye met him and it went well, despite Kim’s initial fears. “I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that,” she said. “I really wanted a male around.” Again, co-parenting with Kanye, of all people, sounds like quite a distressing task.

Speaking of the boys, even Rob Kardashian made a little cameo, via phone call, on the show. Kris called her only son to get his input on the kind of woman that Scott would end up with. “I don’t know, a coke wh*re,” he said bluntly. Kris was so frazzled by the response she hung up, but it was a one-liner to remember. Kris did mention Rob later on when meeting some of the eligible bachelorettes and thought about setting her son up with one. “OK, one brother at a time,” Khloe said.

Khloe’s uncertain future

Kris and Khloe’s matchmaking endeavor got Kris thinking about Khloe’s love life. Khloe revealed that when she is ready to move on and date someone else, she wouldn’t mind her sisters conducting a similar vetting process. Khloe and Kris had a one-on-one to talk about Khlo$’s dating life, which she said was non-existent. “They all have to realize how great I am after they’ve shown me how terrible they can be,” Khloe said of the men in her past. She’s ready to focus on herself rather than dump her energy into other people, which sounds like a solid plan for Khloe.

Kris asked how Khloe would feel if Tristan Thompson moved on to another relationship before her. She wasn’t shy about the pain she’d feel, similar to how it felt watching Lamar Odom move on, but it didn’t make her change her mind. While discussing Tristan’s cheating, the episode ended on the “to be continued” cliffhanger of a lifetime. Khloe looked her mom dead in the eye and said, “What was the mindset when you cheated?” and let Kris know she was talking to her. It sounds like Khloe is done giving her all to the show without digging up some skeletons in some other family members’ closets, and I am here for it.

The Kardashians airs on Thursdays on Hulu.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4, Episode 7 Recap: Tempers Rise at Angie’s Easter Brunch

Previously on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Monica Garcia had a confrontation with her mom Linda. Linda told her they need to stop with the “pissing contest. I’m your mother, I am not your equal.” Hmmmm. More on that later. Also, rumors are flying about Angie Katsanevas’ husband Shawn Trujillo. Here’s everything that went down on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake city Season 4, Episode 7: “An Olive Branch With Thorns.”

The Easter Bunny delivers invitations

Angie’s having an Easter Brunch at her home and inviting everyone – except for Meredith Marks, who’s “spreading rumors” about Angie’s husband, so she’s “not welcome.” Meredith has other plans anyway. She’s going to the GLAAD Awards in Los Angeles with her family on the same weekend.

Angie sends a giant Easter Bunny out to hand deliver invitations to her friends. It’s actually very cute. The best one is when Heather Gay gets into her car, glances into the back seat to see EB sitting there, and shrieks like he’s an axe murderer. It would be startling to see a giant bunny sitting in your car with that maniacally happy expression permanently frozen on his face. That’s nightmare material right there.

Is Mary’s son married?

Mary Cosby sits down with her 20-year-old son Robert Jr. “Why am I hearing rumors that you’re married?” she asks. “I want to hear it from you.”

Robert remains silent and just smiles, so Mary continues, “Is it true?”

“Um, I don’t know,” he hedges. He doesn’t know if he’s married?

After Mary keeps pushing, he finally admits, “I mean, kinda, yeah.” That’s like being “kinda” pregnant. You either are or you aren’t. I think he’s just trying to ease her in slowly.

“Like, I went to the courthouse,” he tells her.

“Lord have mercy!” Mary moans, putting her head in her hands. “And where was I when this was happening? You snuck and did it?”

“Yeah, low-key,” he says. “It’s been almost a year.”

“You’re my only son,” Mary tells him. “I don’t have nobody else. I just have you. I’m gonna cry. My baby!” He comes over and gives her a hug.

“So you think you made the right decision?” she asks him.

“Yeah,” he mumbles. He does not seem anywhere near mature enough to be a married man, and Mary agrees with me.

Christos anesti,” is the greeting of the day. It means “Christ is risen” in Greek. Heather arrives carrying a bowl of nine lemons as a hostess gift. Did she get that idea from Shannon Beador? The lemons represent the feng shui belief that lemons attract wealth and clear negative energy. I think we’re going to need more lemons.

Monica brings her whole family, including her mom Linda, or “LD,” as she introduces herself. LD takes an immediate liking to Angie’s widowed dad. “Are you single?” she asks.

“Absolutely not,” Monica says in a confessional. “F*ck no.”

In her welcome speech to her guests, Angie says she’s always been inspired by the story of Christ. “Christ was mocked and ridiculed and crucified,” she shares. “But he managed to rise up three days later. I think if Christ can rise above it, then we, too, shall rise again.” Um, okay. I think Angie needs to go back to Sunday School. Jesus didn’t “rise” because he had gumption and grit. He’s God. Is Angie saying we can be God?

The quizzical looks on the faces of some of her guests are hilarious. Even Father George looks like he’s thinking, “WTF, Angie?”

Angie chooses a bad time to confront Monica

Rather than having a private conversation at another time, Angie decides to sit down and confront Monica in front of a crowd of people. Angie’s not the sharpest pair of scissors in the hair salon.

Angie starts with, “I was hurt because you put out the rumors that you thought Meredith was speaking about.”

“But I said that to you,” Monica explains. “I had your back, and I was there for you 100% … I don’t like the sh*t that was being said, and I don’t believe it.”

“If you don’t believe it,” Angie asked, “why would you say it?”

“Because Whitney [Rose] asked,” Monica explains, adding she was only attempting to clarify the rumors Meredith was hinting at.

“How do you know that was what Meredith was talking about?”

“I didn’t hear it from Meredith,” Monica says. “I heard it from the Salt Lake City streets. I’m telling you that’s the rumor out there, Angie.”

“But you’re repeating it,” Angie accuses.

“To YOU!” Monica emphasizes. In a production confessional, Monica adds, “I first heard the rumor years ago, way before I ever met Meredith. This is something that’s been circulating … for years.”

Angie says, “I wish you’d just pulled me aside without other people being in the room…” Like you’re doing right now, Angie?

“I literally did,” Monica insists.

When Angie says she’s heard rumors about Monica, Monica says, “Bring it! What did you hear?”

The conversation escalates

“The difference between you and me,” she tells Angie, “is that I don’t f*cking hide it. Everyone’s talking sh*t behind your back. I’m the only one saying it to your face.”

On the other side of the room, Monica’s mom decides to intervene. She marches over and tells them, “You’re both beautiful powerful women. Bury the hatchet.”

Even Angie says, “We’re not fighting. We’re just having a conversation.”

“I didn’t start this sh*t,” Monica says. “I love when people come for me, and then they get mad when I fight back.”

Linda is only making things worse. Monica’s an adult. She’s not five. Back the hell off.

Finally, Angie decides to move on. As Monica tells her mom to stay out of her business, others in the room are gossiping about how rude she’s being to her mother. I don’t think she’s being rude at all. Her mom overstepped.

Linda’s treating her daughter like a child, which infuriates Monica. Monica also feels her mom is taking sides against her. She feels betrayed and alone. Her mom’s making things worse, and when Monica tries to explain her feelings, Linda laughs and discounts the way she feels.

“Find your own f*cking ride home,” Monica tells her.

“I’m always left feeling like ‘Little Monica,'” she confesses. “I feel so bad for Little Monica … All I want is a different relationship with my mom, and I know that that’s just never gonna happen … All I can do is be the mom that I wanted for my kids.”

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
