The true reality TV royalty, The Kardashians, are constantly in motion. This dynamic family is perpetually engaged, moving from one social event to another without ever skipping a beat.

In episode three of season six of the reality show, a surprising debut is made by Kim Kardashians's eldest, North, who takes to the stage for the first time. This unexpected turn of events forces Kim to consider if she's prepared to become a "momager," taking charge of her child's burgeoning career, possibly even prioritizing it over her own.

Last week's episode delves into the ongoing tension between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, centered around their individual ties to the fashion giant Dolce & Gabbana. Historically, Kourtney has been upset with Kim for prioritizing her professional ties over their sisterly bond. The question now is whether Kourtney can overlook past grievances and embrace reconciliation.

In the preview for this week's episode, the anticipation builds around Khloé Kardashian's 40th birthday celebration. Kim is determined to make it a grand affair, but there seems to be tension among the sisters regarding the best way to honor Khloé's significant milestone. The question remains: can they find common ground before the festivities, or will disagreements overshadow Khloé's big day?

Let's recap the past couple of episodes.
