[line rings]

- Hi, love. - [Khloé] [on phone] Hi.

[Malika] You look like you're on a swing.

How sweet is your life.

- I am. I'm just sitting here. - Cutesy.

Are you gonna be around for Ayla's birthday?

No, I'm going to Japan and taking the kids.

I was actually disappointed to miss Ayla's birthday

because I was fascinated by whatever Yris, Troy,

and Staf had going on.

An ex-husband, a fiancé, a shared child,

and everybody getting along?

It sounded beautiful.

Also sounded suspicious.

[Malika] And what about Natalie's Canadian soirée?

Gonna be out of the country still.

You ever heard of a Canadian soirée?

[Khloé] No, I have no idea what that is.

[Malika] I think it's like, you know, their version

of an American barbecue.

So do you wear a Canadian tuxedo?

Don't have a clue what that is either.

[Khloé] Okay. That's denim on denim.

[Malika] Oh, I would love that.

[Khloé] So, Natalie.

[Malika] I don't know if your intentions were to say something to her

before she got super emotional at Casaléna.

I feel like we need you to say something

being executive producer.

Totally, and my intention was most definitely to talk to her.

I also think she's making this process so much more

uncomfortable for herself.

You don't wanna be known as the center of every drama.

Always being the one walk away crying is crazy to me.

We're all allowed to have things that are close to our heart

and that we wanna protect, but there's a way to still...

let someone in,

but they don't have to have a tour of your whole house.

A hundred percent.

Definitely I'm gonna sit down and chat with her.

I wanna hear her side of everything.

[Malika] I love you in your EP era.

Oh, thank you. I love you, too.

It was clear that if I wanted to get filming back on track,

I had to put my big girl SKIMS on

and have a conversation with Nat before her Canadian soirée.

[Khloé] The thing about expectations is that they are basically

just preplanned disappointments.

We decide how people should act

and then we are surprised when they don't follow that script.

For example, after their last conversation ended in tears,

this happy hour would have been the perfect opportunity

for the girls to clear the air.

But why address the issue when they could keep calm,

carry on, and order some cocktails?

♪ Do it like a backflip, about to make it happen ♪

♪ Yeah, what's up? ♪

I normally like my dessert before my food.

[laughter]

And I want the apple pie. Yeah.

Apple pie?

As soon as you're done? Or just...

No, no, I like it before my meal.

Need a little bit of sweetness and then my food.

So if you could just bring that out. Thank you.

This is a girls' evening.

This is my request.

Zero kid talk.

[Khloé] As a reminder, Olivia is the only one without kids

and it was a trigger she expected her friends to avoid.

You women are full of life.

You have sex lives.

Some of you? [laughs]

[laughter]

I'm here to remind you that there's more than being a mum.

I'm gonna kick it off with who has had sex in the last week?

♪

- [Khadijah] Week? - [Olivia] Yeah.

Yris is putting it in for all of us, baby.

Come on.

I went from, like, having a great sex life to, like...

[Olivia] I gotta plug this thing in for tonight.

[Malika] That's how I go to bed at night.

- I charge it in the wall. - [Olivia] Right?

- [Yris] You charge it? - [Khadijah] They're not batteries anymore.

- [Yris] They're charging? - You charge it in the wall, friend.

- Oh yeah, you're putting it to work. - It's next level.

[laughter]

I will never do that. I don't own one.

I've never done it and I don't want to.

I think that, like, what used to turn me on is, like,

he used to be really fun and be like,

"Hey, babe, I have a trip to Cabo planned for us."

Or he'd be like, "Call the girls."

And like, "Let's all go to dinner tonight."

Like, those type of things, like, fueled me.

- [Yris] Mindset. - He's so different now

and it's like the fun in him left the building

and it's kind of like a dry period.

You just might be in a valley and you can peak again.

He's gonna kill me for sharing this.

But I'm gonna say it anyway.

He's in the shower and the door's shut

and I'm knocking, "Where's your phone?

"I need your phone, my phone just died

and I have to, like, text my manager right now."

He goes, "Um, it's over there by my nightstand."

And I look on the nightstand, I'm like, "Where is the phone?"

So I opened the bathroom door and I'm like,

"Babe, why is there soap everywhere?"

What were you just doing?

Yeah, stop.

- Who were you just texting? - [Malika] Yeah.

And he was like, "I wasn't texting anybody."

I'm like, "I am a find-out-ologist.

I will fucking find out anything."

And so he gets out of the shower and he's like all embarrassed.

He's like, "Alright, well, if you fucking wanna really know,

"I was just watching a fucking porno and jerking off.

"And I knew you were gonna check my history

"so I was trying to delete the history

as fast as I could before you got back."

But your little fingers are soapy.

You couldn't do it that fast though, could you, you little liar?

[laughs]

[Nicole] I told him before that, I was like,

"If you're going to do anything, I want it to be

"of pictures or videos that I sent you in the past,

but of me, not to some random porno star."

- [laughs] - [Olivia] Agreed.

People go through shit in relationships.

Yeah, and then introduce kids into the picture,

- full of family. - Ah, you gotta take a sip.

- What? - You brought up kids.

Take a sip. Take a sip.

I'll need another drink for another sip.

Ayla's turning nine tomorrow, you guys.

[Khadijah] Oh.

Kid talk. All you hoes drink.

[Khloé] A birthday party for the daughter of the guy you're seeing

who also happens to be your friend's ex-husband.

Are we looking at Ayla's future stepmother?

I... I...

I'm taking this with care

because of the scenario with my friend that I'm in.

You, you better. Let me tell you something.

You better take it with care 'cause my daughter's involved, okay?

[Olivia] Well, exactly.

[Yris] So tread lightly, Olivia.

[Olivia] Ex-husbands of Hollywood.

[waiter] Excuse me. You're so beautiful.

[friends] Oh.

Could I maybe get your number?

- [Malika] Right away. - [Yris] Hi.

[Natalie] I don't really give my phone number out.

- Thanks, nice to meet you. Bye. - Aw. Alright, thank you.

- [Olivia] Bye. - [Natalie] Bye, have a good night.

[Khadijah] Did he just come up and say, "Can I have your number?"

Did you say no instantly?

[laughs]

Nat, you gotta get nicer.

[Khadijah] You and Malika both have to get out of the rut.

But I wanted to get out of the rut.

You gotta get out of your own way then.

[laughs]

[Khloé] Honestly, I expected that lunch to be way more awkward,

but everything was about to take a turn because a birthday present

was about to put Yris' picture-perfect co-parenting arrangement

directly in the crosshairs.

[Yris] Ayla, are you excited for your party?

- Yes. - [Yris] Okay.

- So I created a little wish list for you. - [Ayla] Oh, cool.

So you have to tell me the stuff that you want for your birthday.

Claw clips.

We love ourselves some claw clips.

Claw... Oh, claw clips.

Clock it. [chuckles]

[Ayla] I want some new SKIM stuff like pajamas

or, like, clothes, anything.

Okay, preteen.

It's SKIMS.

SKIMS has cute stuff.

Hello, SKIMS, sponsor my daughter.

[Khloé] Turning nine and already looking for brand partnerships?

She was definitely one of us.

I'm so excited for your birthday.

You have so many surprises coming, you have no idea.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[Troy] Yo, I wanna run something by you real quick.

So, Ayla, like, I've been meaning to talk to you about this.

[Troy chuckles]

What do you think about me getting her face

on my body tattooed?

You're gonna get it?

Putting all my kids on me is something that I wanna do.

I have Amiah here, then I have Prince here.

- [Yris] Yeah. - So maybe, like, around here with Prince.

- [Yris] Uh-huh. - You know what I mean?

I love that.

The only thing I'm worried about, obviously her dad.

Like, what do you, what do you think her dad's gonna say?

I've-I've been thinking about calling him, maybe calling him or...

I don't think you should call and ask for permission 'cause that's weird.

If he says no, now it's gonna be tension and awkwardness.

It's about Ayla, not about nobody else.

[Khloé] Yris and Troy should have expected

that they'd be walking straight into conflict with that one,

just as I was headed right into the danger zone with Nat

before her Canadian soirée.

It's such a nice day.

[Natalie] I know. It's so nice.

[Khloé] I don't even know why I brought my purse inside

but we're all good.

[dog barks]

- Hi, mama. I know. - [Natalie chuckles]

You do smell the other pooch.

- [Khloé] So... - [dog barks]

[Natalie] Sweetie.

Come on.

I wanted to come over

- and catch up with you a little. - Yeah.

Even the dog had conspired to make this awkward.

I felt really bad with what happened at Casaléna.

[dog whining]

- Um... - [Khloé] What's going on?

How's it going?

It's going. [laughs]

[♪ comical music playing]

I'm not here to pick sides.

[Natalie] Yeah.

What is frustrating to me is that I hear so much from different groups.

- Yeah. - Either it can be from you

- or the twins or Yris or whoever. - Yeah.

And then I'm not privy about this text message...

- [Natalie] Right. - [Khloé] ...that was sent.

[cell phones dinging]

If you are having boundaries and being guarded,

that's not fair to everyone else.

♪

[Khloé] For Natalie and I to get on the same page,

I realized I had skipped over a very important part of the agreement,

the terms and conditions.

And Natalie had a few clauses I needed to understand.

If you are having a list of boundaries and being guarded,

that's not fair to everyone else that's being open.

Yeah. There's definitely been no list of boundaries.

I feel like I've been very transparent with, like, a lot.

The only boundary there was, was, um, Dove

and the relationship with her dad.

We didn't sign up to be on the show, so just, if possible,

let's just, like, not touch on that for the respect of Dove

and respect of him and us co-parenting, you know?

And I feel like there is no drama and I don't, like, want there to be drama.

And so I just thought, "I'll just shoot a text to my friends."

Like, I thought no problem, my friends would be like,

"Oh, duh. Got you, babe."

I don't know, it just really is throwing me off

and leaves me feeling, like, confused

about where we stand as friends.

It's just something that has really taken me back.

I get both sides.

I mean, first of all, if someone, especially about their kids,

asked me not to say something, I wouldn't.

Do I think it's fair that you sent a text

and then they're going against what you're saying?

No, I don't think that's fair.

I wish at that moment all you guys talked about it.

This is now snowballing into something

- that it really doesn't need to be. - Yeah.

And it's becoming something that we're all talking about

when it's the one thing you didn't want to talk about.

[Natalie] When you feel like people are your friends

and expect a certain thing from them based off of past experiences

and then you go into a new environment where there's like a camera in your face

and then they act differently.

That's really hurtful.

It's not what I had expected.

I-I'm in a different circumstance because my sisters will be like,

"What the fuck is your problem?"

- The way sisters talk to each other... - Totally.

...is vile and then you're over it in 10 minutes.

- [Natalie] Yeah. - [Khloé] We're nuts.

Yeah.

So what do you need to move forward?

If anybody wants to talk to me, 100%, I would love that.

I always want everyone to be good.

I don't wanna feel this way about my friends

because I feel like you don't care about me,

if I'm being completely honest.

That's how it feels.

And so I hope that I'm wrong. I do.

[Khloé] It was clear as day.

Everybody expected something different and nobody bothered to send the memo.

I had said what I needed to say.

Now it was between the girls and Natalie.

[Olivia] How many more floors?

Whoo!

- You guys, we're on eight, looking good. - [Olivia] I'm dying.

[clerk] How come you guys don't wanna take the elevator?

[Natalie] I just have really bad claustrophobia.

I can't do small spaces.

Oh, the claustrophobia gets you a good set of legs and ass, I'll tell you that.

[Natalie laughs]

How do you do this all the time?

Ugh.

- Wow. - [echoing] Hello?

Oh, my God, that's really far down.

Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Ready? - [Natalie] Oh, yeah.

I have a sweaty, swassy ass right now.

[girls scream, giggle]

- Hi! Made it. Oh, my God. - [Kristy] Hey.

- [Kristy] Hi! - [Olivia] I'm so sorry.

- We're a little late. - [Kristy] No, it's fine.

And I'm, I'm soaked in sweat.

- Natalie doesn't do elevators. - [Natalie] I don't do elevators.

- [Kristy] Y'all took 19 flights? - [Natalie] I walked up all the stairs.

- [Olivia] Every time. - [Kristy] Wait, y'all look so good.

I'm actually a roasting fat pig.

Oh, my God.

[Olivia] I'm dying.

We brought you more hair.

Amazing. Amazing!

I love y'all's hair.

[Khloé] With their hair brand Harloc launching in the US,

Natalie and Olivia were looking for ways

to reach a bigger audience.

Luckily, they knew someone who'd built an entire platform by letting people in.

Their friend Kristy Sarah.

We have to do video, but we feel corny.

Doing TikToks?

- [Olivia] We do! - [Kristy] That is the key.

You have to just, like, settle in the fact that it's gonna be cringe.

And that's what makes it better.

- [Natalie] I wanna do a TikTok. - [Olivia] Yeah, let's do it.

[Kristy] Okay, what should we do?

[Olivia] You're the pro, but I think...

[laughter]

We cannot give millennial, okay?

That's gonna be the rule.

We need to give Gen Z, okay?

What's Gen Z?

- We just, you know, just... - Wait.

[Natalie] Alright, so I need some tips for dating.

- Your girl is fresh. - Fresh on the market, baby!

Fresh on the market, and the dating pool is so bad.

Why do I feel like they're all cheaters, though?

[Natalie] No, they really are.

[Kristy] Like, you just have to pick your favorite cheater.

[Olivia] They really are.

You know, I haven't had my kids yet,

so I can't be down in guys.

- Right. - [Olivia] At least you guys

have your kids.

It's a different feeling when I don't have 'em yet,

so I can't say, "Oh, fuck men," 'cause I need one to have the kids!

[Khloé] Olivia was smiling,

but the truth was every bad date carried

a little more weight because it felt like she was still waiting

for a chapter she thought she would've already started by now.

- [Olivia] She's the dude. - Really?

She runs and she does the, like, "Okay, I'm out thing."

Since having Dove, I have not dated anybody.

I mean, a little bit Dove's dad, but, like, not very much at all.

And it's been, like, years.

I wanna have more kids,

so I'm, like, I need to, like, find somebody just so,

like, not excited about it.

I'm turned off about it. I could care less about it.

I'm so nonchalant. It's all the wrong things.

- [Kristy] Yeah. - [Olivia] You never know.

Maybe you'll meet a guy at our soirée.

And you're gonna feel feminine and you're gonna go on a date.

[Kristy] I kinda wanna come.

You should come.

[Natalie] Yeah, all the girls are coming, also there's a little mood board.

We're doing a little garden, like, soirée moment.

Everyone's wearing pastels. It'll be really cute.

[Khloé] While Natalie started thinking

if she should bring a potential Mr. Right

to their Canadian soirée,

Olivia couldn't stop thinking about the Mr. Maybe

she would be seeing at his and Yris' daughter's birthday party.

Meanwhile, Yris was teaching Ayla an important lesson.

A man can never go too far to show you he cares.

That's so cute.

- She's gonna freak out. - [Troy] I know.

[Yris] If I was into tattoos like that,

I would for sure have you do something fire on me,

- but, like-- - You gonna get my name?

Uh... What? [laughs]

[needle buzzes]

Would you put a sticker on a Bentley?

[both laugh]

[Troy] Put the black ones on, buddy.

You still look cool though with the blue.

- No. - [Troy] No? Alright, yo, it's your world.

Alright, babe. Love you.

[Troy] Happy birthday, baby.

- [Troy kissing] - [Yris] Aw!

Is that crazy or what?

[Ayla] He got a whole tattoo for me?

[Yris] He got a whole tattoo for you, girl.

[Yris] What do you think your dad is going to say?

- [Ayla] I don't know. - [Yris] Do you think he's going to be mad?

[Ayla] I think so.

Ooh, look at this.

[Khloé] Ayla was the guest of honor,

but she was far from the only one showing up with expectations.

Olivia was preparing for a run-in with Staf.

Nicole was auditioning a potential au pair

so she could make some more time for Larry.

And Yris was hoping that the tattoo wasn't as big of a deal

as she suddenly feared.

[Khadijah] Wait?

[Troy] It's, uh, me and Ayla.

[Khadijah] It's you?

[Troy] Me and Ayla.

[Khadijah] I paid for this makeup.

You're not gonna make me cry today.

[Yris] Let's take a shot.

To Troy's new tattoo and being the best stepdad ever.

- Hey, I love that. Okay. - [Khadijah] Ever.

Cheers to good dads.

[Troy] Hey.

- [Nicole] Hi! - [Yris] Where's Larry?

[Nicole] Um, he's here. He's with India.

- Happy birthday, sweetie. - [Ayla] Thank you.

[Troy] What's up, boy?

Gotta make sure she ain't fall next to this pool.

- [Troy] Oh, yeah, you're right. - [Khadijah] She's so cute.

Does she make you want another one?

Definitely does.

[Yris] Especially the way she bounces back.

[Nicole] I have an au pair now.

So maybe, we'll see.

She's coming today to help me.

[Khloé] And you know who else was on the way?

Ayla's dad.

[Staf] Hi, bubby. Mm.

How are you?

[Khloé] You could feel an awkward conversation

getting closer with every step he took.

- [Olivia] Hi! - Hi, Liv.

- [Olivia] How are you? - Hot.

[Olivia] Good to see-- I know.

[Olivia] So, how you doing?

[Olivia gasps, squeals]

[both chuckle]

Uh, I'm good.

- How are you? - Good!

I need a drink. I need a drink.

But I wanna say happy birthday to A first.

Do your rounds and then there's drinks over there.

Okay. Is she out? Okay.

- I'll meet you over there. Okay. - [Staf] Alright.

Does anyone want to go to the bar with me?

[Olivia] We need to have a girl chat.

Oh, wait, where'd the kids go?

I'm freaking out because of the pool, obviously.

Like India can't swim.

[Troy] Right there, buddy. Prince.

[Nicole] So, Fran, as I was telling you girls before

is possibly coming on to help me with India and to stay with us.

- [friend 1] Oh, wow! - [friend 2] Amazing.

Yeah. I need help a lot.

[Khloé] With Staf's arrival at the party,

Olivia expected her girls to be begging her for the scoop.

Do you remember your aunties that are at all your birthdays?

[Khloé] But instead, it was nonstop kid talk.

Whoo!

It's okay. It's okay. I'm used to it, it's fine.

- [cell phone chimes] - Huh? Chirping.

Chirping.

Whew!

Hi! Come in!

So, guys, this is Fran.

[Khadijah] Hi!

She's possibly gonna be our new au pair staying with us.

[Khadijah] Nice to meet you.

[Nicole] I need help a lot.

India! Say hi to Fran.

[India] Hi.

[indistinct chatter]

[Troy] Ayla's parties always turn out great, bro.

[Staf] Yes, real good.

- [chuckles] - Real good occasion there.

[Troy] What'd you get Ayla for her birthday?

Um, well, she's... she has a million and one wish list.

But, we got her a new phone.

[Troy] Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

This is what I got her right here.

I don't know if you can-- let me just show you, hold on.

[Staf] What's this?

[plastic crinkles]

[Troy exhales]

[Staf] Um...

[♪ dramatic music playing]

What was your idea? You just thought...

And I've been knowing her since she was two, bro.

Like, it just kinda, it made sense.

You know what I mean? Like she, this... we forever.

You know what I mean?

- You didn't wanna call me? - [sighs]

- I mean, I-- - [Staf] Run it by me,

just be like, "Oh, no, this is what I'm thinking."

Honestly, bro, I did, but that's all Yris, bro.

I'm just gonna be honest with you.

[Staf] Out of just respect, maybe a little phone call or something?

I probably should have definitely hit you up, bro. It's on me.

Do you approve of it?

Yeah, I'm just, I am a little shocked, but...

[Troy] You like it or no?

Yeah.

You've been in Ayla's life for a long time

and you're a great father.

- [Troy] For sure. - Yeah.

I got to talk to Yris, I'll be honest.

- Might as well, bro. - [Staf] Alright.

You're on your own on that one though.

[Staf] [laughs] Alright, cool.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

Thank you guys so much for coming and celebrating our daughter.

- [cheering] - [all] Happy birthday, Ayla!

[cheering continues]

[Olivia] I legitly, I'm, I'm really irritated.

♪

- You guys are killing me. - [Nicole] What?

[Olivia] I just went on a date with Staf

and I'm going to his daughter's birthday.

How are you guys not like, "Oh, my God"?

As you, as friends, how would you not do that right away?

[Olivia] Ugh. I'm gonna cry.

Obviously I'm the only one of the girls who don't have children yet.

I don't think all you guys understand when you have your kids.

I feel forgotten.

[Khloé] We all had expectations for how our lives were supposed to look.

Marriage, kids, relationships, success.

But sooner or later, reality had a way of rewriting the script.

The birthday party wasn't really the issue.

Olivia was mourning the difference

between the future she'd pictured for herself

and the reality she found herself in.

[Olivia] When do I ever cry or bring this up?

I think it's just like a lot.

It's not anything to do with him.

It's about you guys.

- I feel sometimes forgotten, or last. - Yeah.

So I'm just annoyed about that.

We didn't mean to, like, not notice that you had, like, had your first talk

- with him since your date. - At all.

- [Natalie] So I'm sorry. - [Nicole] I'm sorry.

My head space, like, was trying to, like, introduce India to Fran

and, like, to introduce Fran to everybody else.

And I should have directly asked you but it's like so hard

- to, like, do what we... - [Natalie] Anything else.

- ...want or do anything else... - [Natalie] Anything else.

...but literally like laser eyes on, like, where are my kids at?

But minus the kids and the franticness, that's the first thing I wanna ask you.

Because you're our best friend and we want to make sure

that you feel seen and that you don't feel like that.

You know, if anybody's gonna understand you, it's us.

It doesn't matter. Let it out.

We love you no matter what.

[Khloé] For Olivia, the solution was simple.

Tell the truth and let her friends meet her there.

The good news? It worked.

The bad news, not every conversation in this group

was expected to go that smoothly.

[Nicole] Okay, you guys getting ready to go?

Hi, I think I have Natalie at the front gate. Thank you.

[Khloé] I'd encouraged the girls to talk through their issues with Natalie.

Step one, assemble the girls.

Step two, pretend like things aren't awkward

and that they weren't told by their best friend/producer

to get on the same page.

I get, like, I can't even put mascara in my head anymore.

I have to either just let it be gray and wear my hair up all the time.

- And while it's up... - [Olivia] Hello?

...just spray it with like a little gray root spray.

I see one in the front and I'm like, mascara.

- Hi. - Hi, guys.

[Nicole] Hi! Oh, I thought I heard the door open.

I'm just yapping away, I didn't even hear you guys come in.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Olivia] We just let ourselves in. - [Nicole] That's okay.

[Olivia] As per yooj.

[Nicole] Oh, guys, I have, like, everything blocked off

because Ace decided to pee all over the couch,

but don't worry, I got it cleaned.

He's just got, like, behavior issues right now.

Am I the only person that feels like we're having a meeting?

- Yeah. - [all] Yeah.

One thing that's been really special about us as a friend group is like,

we have always been there for each other for some of the most celebratory moments.

For us, we have a really special experience to do a show together.

I love y'all down.

Yeah. I love you, too.

And I would rather us have an honest conversation with each other

about who we are, what we expect and what we don't expect

so that we can respect each other's boundaries within that.

But in order for me to respect your boundaries,

you have to tell me.

So what you're saying is like, I feel like I do know that

like you guys love me, you know what I mean?

And I feel like you guys know I love you.

It didn't feel good, the way that it like transpired or like laid out for me.

Me saying like, "Hey, I don't wanna touch on something."

Whether the opinion is, like, you feel like

I should share it or not or whatever.

Like, I feel like that's a conversation we could have, but it didn't happen.

It happened all really fast.

And then for it not to be, like, honored, I guess,

and then, like, that is I think what's really left me

feeling confused and hurt.

I had no idea that there were things that were off the table

'cause what we had all signed up to do was share our lives and do a show.

That was the first time I had ever heard that.

But I didn't sit at the table and ask you about your daughter's father.

- Right? - Well, you guys talked about

me not wanting to open up about the exact same thing

I asked you not to talk about.

Khloé didn't know about all this and just finding it all out till recently.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Having conversations with Khloé,

that's never us discussing something.

If she calls and says, "So what happened? Blah, blah, blah, blah."

- It's our friendship. - That's not talking shit behind your back.

I mentioned that you didn't wanna share.

[Malika] Nothing specifically was said

- about him. - [Khadijah] Said about the father.

It's a, "I don't wanna discuss him at all."

[Malika] I had no idea.

I didn't even get that from your text.

I guess just for me, if I saw that, end of.

I'm not saying it to anyone.

One thing about me is this, right here?

Doesn't change me. Ever.

I'm always myself.

I shoot reality, I shoot real.

If that's not how you wanna do it, that's cool.

Aside from that, there's nothing else that I didn't wanna talk about.

The guy should have never been a subject. I didn't get that.

You didn't realize how intense I meant for it to not be talked about.

Not for two seconds.

And I think, like, my, the root of my, like, being hurt by it

is because I do value our relationship a lot.

In my brain it's something, like, logically I...

I didn't think that you would do.

So I'm not thinking that you're that kind of person. Do you know what I mean?

No, I-I don't have a mean spirit for you...

[Natalie] And that's why it felt hurtful because I was like--

...whatsoever.

- I'm not your friend and then trying to... - No, I know.

...stab you in the back. I would do anything for you girls.

Like I... that is how I'm wired.

- [Khadijah] Ditto. - Yeah.

- [Malika] That's not who I am. - [Natalie] Yeah.

I love you.

[Khloé] As expected, my plan worked and the hot seat had a new vacancy.

Just in time for the show's promo photo shoot.

[Natalie] Guys, I've been dead for years.

[laughs]

Who's shooting right now?

[Natalie] Nicole and Olivia.

[Khadijah] We're almost there, girls. We did it.

So did Nicole ever end up hiring the nanny?

♪

Franny, the nanny? Yeah.

- Franny the nanny. - [Yris] Franny, that's her name?

[Malika] She's a cutie.

[Natalie] She's kinda hot.

- How do we feel about her? - [Yris] She's hot?

- [Malika] She's young. - I don't believe in that, I'm sorry.

[Malika] Schwarzenegger had a baby with an unattractive housekeeper, honey.

- So don't think that-- - I...

[Natalie] I wouldn't put anything past a guy.

No, me neither. I'm so old school and I keep such a tight ship

that, like, when I got with Troy, the stylist was a girl, she had to go.

Sorry.

[Natalie] Dove has a really nice granny nanny.

[Malika] Grannies are great.

Granny nanny, like, grandma energy is what we want.

- [Khadijah] Nicole! - [Nicole] Hi.

We were just talking about you.

- Oh. That's nice. - [Natalie] I love that.

Hopefully good things.

[Malika] I just asked about the new nanny.

Franny nanny?

[Malika] Do you love Franny nanny?

[Nicole] The best. I never want her to leave.

[Malika] Now, do we totally trust her with our man?

That's why we were, like, 'cause she's not a toad.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[Natalie] I still always feel--

Guys are... No, no.

Guys are one decision away from ruining their life.

So more power to you but I would like a granny nanny.

Like, I can't do it.

[Khloé] By now, everyone had a theory.

Nicole just happened to be the only person with actual information.

And before this conversation went any further,

she had a few things she wanted to clear up.

I get that because I used to be exactly that way.

I would literally cut anybody who looked at him.

I would cut him if he looked at anybody.

I'm in the car with him if his eyes glanced at the girl walking the dog,

I would put a knife in you.

Like, I would kill him. I was psycho.

You guys do not know that version of Nicole.

Trust me.

And it's because I got cheated on so much before Larry.

So I took it all out on him.

And I think because of all that, it made us stronger.

You don't feel like if you guys aren't sleeping together

that he's gonna find somebody that he might want to do it with?

[Nicole] You guys, Larry would never do that to me.

I am 1,000% sure.

[Natalie] I'm gonna go on the record and say I've known them for a lot of years

and even in all the "toxicity" of our young years,

Larry was never sneaky.

You have your needs

and right now you may think you're totally okay,

but a man has his needs,

and you can never truly think that he will not do something.

[Nicole] We just respect each other so much

and I feel like we just have had so much growth now. I--

[Yris] That he wouldn't put you through that.

[Nicole] That he wouldn't put me through that.

[Natalie] No, he wouldn't dare.

He's not wasting his breath on Franny the nanny.

Not that Franny's not hot.

- She's hot. - She's so hot.

[laughter]

I've had friends who were like,

"My husband would never, my husband..."

And then, he did.

[Nicole] We have, like, moments that are great

and then we have spells that are not so great.

We've had one in the past, like,

you know, like, when you get pregnant, you're not really,

- eh... you know? - Yeah.

And so that was a whole thing.

And then when India was born,

you were probably freaky-deaky when you were pregnant.

- That's the best. That's the best. - And I was the...

- [Natalie] Horniest. - You're the juiciest, like...

- Absolutely not. Don't touch me. - What?

[laughs]

Fine, have your rut.

I know that's a part of marriage, but I just also...

No, you're right. I think--

I think you guys are amazing together

and so fucking sexy together.

Go in a room and take your clothes off already.

[laughs]

[Malika] Anyway, see you ladies at the Canadian Soiree.

♪ Sweat in this hotbox ♪

[Khloé] While the girls were busy imagining

what Nicole's marriage should look like,

Khadijah was still trying to come to terms with the fact

that hers was ending.

- [Yris] Hi! - Hi, baby.

Look at you. You got me coffee?

[Khadijah] I did. I had to order for you.

Enjoy it. I just thought it should be waiting for you.

You really know how to take care of your people.

What's happening with you?

I just wanna be done.

I'm, like, really looking forward to that, like, next phase of my life.

And to be honest, I don't even know what it looks like

because I can't picture it from the rut I'm in.

I know, divorce doesn't happen overnight.

[Khloé] Khadija and Yris both knew what it was like

to end a marriage.

However, when Khadija and her husband first split,

she never expected that two years later

their divorce still wouldn't be finalized.

How are the kids, like, handling it?

- They're great. - [Yris] Kapri's gonna find her stepdaddy.

[Khadijah] Let Mommy get a divorce first, please.

She's gonna be like, "My mommy's single. Are you single?"

[both laugh]

"Do you wanna be my stepdaddy?"

That's what happened to me and Troy.

I was going through the process.

I wasn't fully divorced yet.

Okay.

[Yris] The first day that I met him, I was very honest,

like, "Hey, I'm still legally married."

And then when I was finally divorced,

I think we went out to dinner that night.

Like, me and Troy, we were like, "Okay, it's official."

- Like, you know what I mean? - I don't think I can do it.

[Yris] That's how I used to feel, but I'm like--

I'm like, "Can you just love me and be with me

and not put marriage on the table?"

My mindset before was like,

"Oh, I don't need to get married again, I'm good."

And then I met Troy and Troy's never been married.

- Yeah. - Wants to get married.

- Like, that's all he's like... - Yeah.

"I always dreamed about just having a wife and playing in the NBA.

Like, that's all I dreamed about," you know?

I don't know. It's just, it...

I, I think going through a divorce obviously will turn you off

so much from the marriage piece.

[Yris] It does. From the legal marriage piece, yes.

You're going into a contract so, like--

And that's where I am, friend,

and that's what I don't wanna get.

[Yris] Mm-hmm.

[Khloé] While Khadijah was still baring her soul to Yris,

Nicole was preparing to bare everything else to Larry.

♪ Thinking it over ♪

♪ Baby, you're just my type ♪

[Larry laughs]

[Nicole] Are you on a call?

No. I'm not on a call.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

Gonna show you some acknowledgment...

for the effort that you just put in for that.

Babe, give me a hug.

That was sweet.

[Nicole] Did you appreciate that?

Yeah, I did.

[Nicole] Oh!

Okay.

[Khloé] Nicole obviously wanted to change things up

and put her man's needs first.

Let's see if Yris could do the same.

[Troy] What kinda food they got at the cookout?

[Yris] Hopefully something with flavor.

- [Troy and Yris chuckle] - [line rings]

- Hi. - [Natalie] [on phone] Hi.

[Yris] You're on speaker. Troy's here.

- [Troy] What up? What's up? - [Natalie] Hi.

Troy just asked me what kind of food do you guys have over there.

- [Natalie] Um... - [Yris] What's the flavors

looking like over there?

Do you need me to bring some Tapatío or something?

- [Troy laughs] - [Natalie] I mean, you can. [laughs]

There's like a grazing station,

like a "shashuterie" board lady came.

[Khloé] Hold up, a what board?

[Natalie] "Shashuterie" board lady came.

Wait, "shashuterie" board like your, like just cheese, right?

Like, a cheeseboard?

[Natalie] Like, just cheese and crackers and all that.

- [Yris] Uh-huh. - [Troy] I can get on the grill.

You guys have a grill?

[Natalie] If you want to, I'd love that.

- [Troy] Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. - Yeah, we...

- [Troy] Definitely gonna do that. - [Natalie] Actually--

We definitely thought we were going to like a barbecue cookout, like...

[Natalie] I know, I think that's what

the Canadian-American miscommunication was.

Just, like, we're having a backyard soirée.

- Okay. - Easy.

Alright, well, I'm glad we called you and got the vibes because I'm starving.

- Okay, we'll see you soon. - [Natalie] Okay.

Cheese board?

Babe, we can't go to a cookout and just have cheese. I'm sorry.

- I can't have cheese. - You're gonna be cooking

and not enjoying yourself though.

I'ma enjoy myself and cook. I can do both.

- Alright. - Yeah.

- Okay, go ahead, cook. - For sure.

- Go ahead, my chef. - Just give me a drink.

[Yris] Okay.

[Khloé] When Yris walked out that door,

she was stepping right back into a situation

that at the time felt trivial.

We're good.

[Khloé] But our expectations were off once again.

[Troy] That works.

[Khloé] And soon everyone would feel the fallout.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[Khloé] To understand how things got off on the wrong foot

at the Canadian soirée,

you need to understand that for the girls,

a party is never just a party.

It's an event, especially when Natalie was planning.

[Natalie] Come on, sweetie.

That look nice?

- Are you getting pampered? - You put paint on Dad's pants.

- [Nicole] She does that. She's... - It's okay.

[Nicole] I paint her fingernails and then she takes it off right away.

But do your fingernails next, and then let them dry.

You gotta blow on 'em.

So, um, can you wear white, preferably like cream?

Cream? It's a pool party.

This is the mood board if you wanna look at it.

[Larry] Don't, don't even show it to me.

[Nicole] Why?

[Larry] I'm not looking at a mood board

and putting together looks.

I'm wearing what I wanna wear. I'm not--

No, but, babe, you cannot wear what you want to wear

because they changed it.

It's not a pool party.

I'm not looking at a mood board.

Fully against Nat and Liv telling you what to wear to a party.

- Yeah. - Noted.

So I won't ask you anymore then,

and I'm just gonna go buy you the outfit.

That would've been better?

- Probably, yeah. - Really?

- Yeah. - Like, why is it so hard?

Like happy wife, happy life?

That's two different things.

It's happy wife, happy life,

not happy friends of the wife, happy life, no.

Moving forward, like, if you have a preference

around some clothes or colors you want me to wear,

you, you can just go grab it.

Mommy.

Yeah?

[India] I gotta poop.

- You gotta poop? - [Larry laughs]

- [India] Mm-hmm. - Oh. Okay.

[Khloé] Kids are amazing at changing the topic

and breaking the tension.

Ladies, take notes.

♪ When you look at me I hope it's a boss you see ♪

The party was getting started, but so were the problems.

Hello! We brought some soul food to cook.

We're gonna do an American barbecue.

- Okay, babe? - Love it. Okay.

[Khloé] The aesthetic was controversial.

- I invited Staf. [laughs] - [Yris] Okay! Okay!

[Khloé] Staf was still processing the tattoo

and Natalie was about to let her guard down.

It was kind of amazing anyone thought this night would be drama-free.

Ooh, I like the linen.

- How are you? Nice! - [Staf] I'm good, thanks.

Oh, that's melting.

- They poured espresso over it. - Oh, careful, careful.

Don't put it over your bag.

[Yris] Me and Troy have to go to El Salvador.

- [Kristy] To do what? - [Yris] I'm like a brand ambassador.

- That's where my parents are from. - Oh, my God.

- From El Salvador. - [Kristy] Right. Right, right.

Well, what are you gonna do?

[Yris] I'm working with the government out there.

We're doing like the history of Salvador, like, just stuff like that.

- Yeah. - That's gonna be so nice.

[Malika] Is something burning?

- [Staf coughs] - Oh, yo, get some water, get some water.

- Get some water, get some water. - What happened?

[Troy] It's not working, bro.

- [Staf] You know, turn it off. - Okay.

[Khadijah] Careful, Troy.

- [Natalie] Look at the barbecue. - [Nicole] You know why?

Troy is, like, pouring water on it.

He's doing something special over there.

Yris!

[Troy laughs]

Get your man.

[Yris] Oh, my God.

You want me to go over there?

She's like, "Oh, hell no. I'm not going over, he's on his own."

[grill sizzling]

[Troy] I think it's good, though.

Have you ever met my cousin?

- No, I don't think so. - No? Oh, my God.

Yeah, you met Sophia. No, I have to introduce you.

[Khloé] I had been encouraging Natalie to lower her walls

and Olivia remembered a guy she knew

who might actually help Natalie do just that.

[Olivia] Nat, this is my friend Mike.

[Natalie] Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you.

[Mike] Where you been hiding?

[Natalie] I'm not outside ever.

- So that's probably why. - [Mike] Why? How come?

[Natalie] I don't know, just mumming.

- [Mike] Yeah? - [Natalie] Yeah.

Can't do two things at once? I bet you can.

Mike!

No way!

[Mike] I'm in a little bit of a thing right now.

- How you doing? - [Khadijah] I would interrupt your thing.

[Mike] Good to see you.

[Mike] What do you guys know about Natalie?

- Like, what do you mean? - [Mike] I don't... I don't know.

- She's kinda... - [Khadijah] I think she's kinda...

She's very hot.

- [Mike] Yeah, is she dating anybody? - No.

I think I'm about to run up on their little girls' party.

- [Larry] Go get 'em champ. - To be honest.

[Malika] If you can get Nat out, there's hope for her.

[Khadijah] They can push each other.

[Mike] Why? Would you say that she's even more guarded than you are?

Oh. Oh, good luck.

Alright, I think I know what I have to do.

[Larry] Let's go, bro.

- [Malika] Yeah. - [Khadijah] I wanna eat.

[Nicole] She's over here jabbing the stick.

[Malika] Stick a fork in it.

You want a little bit, sweetie?

Oh, you so sweetie!

I would feed you all day long.

[Staf] Yris, can we have a talk?

- [Yris] Yeah. - [Staf] The tattoo...

[Yris] Yeah. Are you upset about it?

- I just, it was a big shock and I would... - [Yris] Yeah.

...I would actually have preferred if he did actually

speak to me about it.

For me as a man, thinking he's put my daughter on his arm

without communicating with me, it was just a little bit off.

[Yris] Yeah, I understand it being a big shock.

You've worked too hard to, like, try to be awkward now and, like--

Oh, exactly. That's what I was trying to say.

It's like the co-parenting has been amazing.

- [Yris] Yeah. - We've got no dramas.

So it's just like that there.

I didn't want that to be a hiccup.

[Yris] Yeah. No, I get that.

I don't think there's a hiccup. Is there a hiccup?

- No, there's not. - [Yris] Okay.

- [Staf] Good? - Yeah.

- Why you being so weird? - [Staf] I'm not.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[Khloé] Sometimes the biggest problems weren't the disagreements themselves.

They were the expectations we never bothered to explain.

And once Yris and Staf finally compared notes,

the tattoo drama wasn't nearly as complicated as it seemed.

Why is everybody leaving as soon as I got here?

- [laughter] - [Olivia] I'm not!

- [Natalie] You want to join the sit-down? - [Mike] Yeah, I'd love to.

What do you do for fun?

[Natalie] Um, hang out with my daughter.

- Yeah? - Kid life.

You know you still got to make time for yourself, right?

Yeah. Do you have a drink?

Do you want one?

I mean, I kinda want more wine.

Do you want me to grab it for you?

Yeah, that'd be great.

So, um, date two.

We ready for that?

Okay. Okay.

Thursday?

- Okay. - Yeah?

Yeah, that works for me. [laughs]

[Khloé] It was only a second date, but in that moment,

it reminded Olivia that the future she'd been hoping for still felt possible.

[Natalie] Let's get our pic.

- You want me to take it? - Okay.

- I'm very good with the camera. - Are you?

I'm like an Instagram boyfriend. I gotcha.

Maybe the problem was expecting people to read our minds.

The minute Olivia told her friends

how she was feeling, they showed up for her.

The minute Staf and Yris talked it out,

the tattoo drama was squashed.

And after my chat with Natalie,

she finally agreed to let her guard down.

For once, everyone seemed to be on the same page.

But between big trips...
