Broken Fingers & Sister Makeups

As Kris' health improves, Kim has unfortunately injured herself with two broken fingers. The injury was significant enough for the show to issue a warning about graphic images. If blood and cuts make you uncomfortable, you may want to avert your eyes. Kim seems to be in considerable pain, but she continues with her schedule, showing a similar strong work ethic as her mother.

Kim and Khloe seem to have reached a point where they can interact with each other in a friendly manner after a tense period in the past few episodes.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker Takes Australia 

In Sydney, Australia, the Barkers are situated halfway across the globe in a location where the spiders are ten times larger than those found anywhere else on the planet. One of Kourtney's children, Mason, has chosen to stay behind with Scott Disick, leaving her feeling incomplete. Despite the constant paparazzi attention, she remains resolute in her determination to ensure her kids make the most of this novel experience.

On the trip, Reign Disick fearlessly embraces the reality TV star life by speaking directly to the cameras. He playfully interrupts his mom and Travis, jokingly telling them to "stop making out, didn’t you already have a baby?!" 

They later have lunch with Mark Hoppus and his wife Skye on a yacht, a fitting choice considering the challenges of finding privacy in Australia for a well-known family.

Kim and Khloe Visit the Prison

Kim and Khloé paid a visit to a prison in California known for its humane approach, accompanied by Kim's friend who is involved in prison reform, Scott Budnick. During the visit, Kim was moved to see how the prisoners felt more "human" and "normal" when they received visitors.

The sisters toured the facility and met inmates who were involved in rehabilitating rescue dogs and creating impressive art from paper pieces. Before leaving, Kim and Khloé took the time to sit down with some inmates and listen to their personal stories.

They also spoke with female inmates who had been told they didn't deserve a second chance. Through interviews, Kim emphasized the message that everyone deserves the opportunity for redemption, which was the theme of the episode.

In this week's episode, the Kardashian-Jenner family brings the season to a close with a mix of routine check-ups and quiet family moments. The focus is on the Kardashians taking it easy and slowing down. The episode starts with a casual conversation between Kim KardashianKhloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner about midlife concerns.

In a previous episode of the show, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was featured to talk about the topic of prison reform. However, in this latest episode, there was an unexpected turn of events as the renowned advocate and board member of Homeboy Industries, Jane Fonda, made a cameo appearance. Homeboy Industries is an organization committed to aiding ex-convicts in their transition back into society. This mix of discussions on prison reform and the involvement of a prominent figure like Jane Fonda added an intriguing layer to the episode.

Khloe Beats Kim

The most thrilling part of the episode is when the results of the biological age tests are revealed, leading up to the season's climax. Kris, Khloe, Kim, and Scott all undergo the test, and their nervousness is so evident that it almost makes us anxious, even though the storyline itself isn't particularly dramatic. Kris and Kim find out that they're biologically younger than their actual age, with Kim's excitement at being almost a decade younger being a standout moment. However, Khloe steals the spotlight with her biological age of 28, leaving everyone speechless.
