Keeping Up With The Kardashians "Loving & Letting Go" Recap (1/19/14) Season 9 Episode 1 Part 1

January 21, 2014

 
KUWTK is back and Kim and Khloe are going blonde. The new hairstyles are supposed to signify new beginnings for the two. The topic of conversation during this makeover session…North West (Kim’s daughter) Little “Nori” is trending on Twitter. People have been comparing her to the royal baby. Of course, Kim is delighted. Her daughter is a princess.
At Bruce’s Malibu house, Bruce and Kris are discussing the end of Bruce’s lease. Kris wants Bruce to move back home. Not because she misses him, but because she does not want their family/friends speculating about their marriage.
 
We are next taken on a “tour” of Kim & Kanye’s future home. On hand for the tour are Kourtney, Scott, and Khloe. Khloe asks when the property is supposed to be done and Kim says June (a year from the time the episode was filmed). The home will feature a 70 foot pool and a music studio for Kanye. Khloe decides to call Lamar to warn him about the paparazzi. As expected, he does not answer. During her confessional Kim reveals that she feels sorry for Khloe and wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
 
Bruce and his ponytail are back. Well at least he is trying to move back into the home he shares with Kris. Problem is with six people now living in the house; Bruce does not have any space to put his stuff. When he voices his concerns to Kris, she claims she is overwhelmed and Bruce is left to figure it out on his own.
 
Khloe and Kourtney are in Khloe’s car when they spot one of Lamar’s former teammates. Khloe immediately begins to feel uncomfortable and calls Kim to tell her about the awkward exchange. She finds the situation weird especially since Lamar's teammate shook her hand and barely made eye contact. He used to be one of her friends. Kim tells her not to take it personally; he probably just didn’t know what to say to her.

Khloe and Kourtney are headed to their store Dash to talk to the Dash employees. They have just hired a Regional Director that will manage all three stores. As the two leave Dash, Khloe is bombarded by the paparazzi. They ask her if Lamar is living on Skid Row and if he is on drugs. (I actually feel bad for her) Khloe begins to breakdown as she tells Kourtney about her situation with Lamar. In between tears, Khloe explains how she has become afraid of people and spends most of her time in hiding. She is trying to protect Lamar, but is slowly coming to the realization she cannot save someone’s [his] life despite her best efforts.

Kourtney suggests she take some time off. But, Khloe likes to work because it keeps her distracted. She hates going home. Kourtney wants to know if Khloe has had this conversation with Lamar. Khloe admits she cannot have a conversation with him.
 
Kourtney and Khloe are visiting Rob at his at his new condo. (Yes, he finally moved out of Khloe’s house) Rob suggests Khloe move in with him. Although, Khloe misses Rob, she is happy he is now living in a healthy environment. As expected, their conversation quickly turns to Lamar. Rob says he has not heard from him and thinks he may have changed his number. Khloe tells them that Lamar buys prepaid phones every couple of hours to make phone calls. Rob suggests Khloe move out of that her house.
 
Back at the Jenner beach house, Bruce drops a bombshell on Kris...he is not moving back home. He says that the energy between them has changed. They seem happier apart. Kris is taken aback.  However, they come to the conclusion that it is better for their marriage to separate.
 
When Bruce broaches the subject of separation with Kendall and Kylie, Kendall is confused. Are he and Kris getting divorced? Because she does not want to live like a divorced kid.

Bruce explains he is tired of being scrutinized for his vocabulary and choice of clothing when he is at the other house. He is happier in Malibu. Kylie tells her dad if he is happier in Malibu, he should stay out there. Kendall is less than pleased with the announcement.

All the kids have been summoned to the Jenner house for a family meeting. Bruce and Kris make the dramatic announcement…they are happier living apart, but they are not getting divorced. Kendall is visibly upset by the announcement. She is tired of wondering if they are going to get divorced and hates that her parents are sugarcoating the situation.

Khloe tells Kris,"no one wants you two to get divorced, but you seem happier apart." Kris appears offended by the comment and begins to raise her voice. This prompts Khloe to start cursing like a sailor, at one point telling her mother, “don’t f**k with me because I am not the one.”
 
In typical Kris fashion, she ignores Khloe’s curse-laden rant. She just wants the family to handle the situation as mature adults. The meeting ends with everyone assuring Kendall that they will always be siblings.
 
Khloe and her marriage to Lamar are once again the topic of conversation. This time its Kim and Kourtney's turn to discuss it. Kim tells Kourt that she overheard their mother talking about Khlomar at 4 am. Both wish Khloe would feel comfortable enough to talk to them.
 
The Kardashian/Jenner clan (Brody & Brandon Jenner included) have once again gathered for a family meeting. This time it’s to address the media stories about Kris and Bruce’s separation. After talking they decide the family needs to stay connected and communicate with each other. They all agree that their biggest concern should be Kendall and Kylie.  
 
The episode ends with Kourtney surprising Khloe with a trip to the winery.
