S2:E9 This episode, Khloé returned to Miami to help Kourtney take care of Mason and deal with Scott’s efforts to throw a pity party for himself after punching a mirror and not being able to see his son. Also, Kris, Kendall and Kylie visited the girls, and Kris was quite worried about Kourtney’s situation with Scott.
The second she arrived in Miami, Kris asked Kourtney how she was going to make Scott resolve his tendencies towards drinking and violence. Kourtney maintained she hadn’t seen Scott since he punched their bathroom mirror (which, for all we know, could be just shy of a few days because we’re on Ryan Seacrest time), and that in the space she put between them, Scott was getting sober and seeing a therapist. Kris wanted him to do more, so she figured it would be best for her to go over to Scott’s hotel and tell him to stop meddling with her family and to go get some help in another city. Nobody would tell Kris which hotel Scott was staying at except for Khloé, whose wedding ring is so huge that it must have tilted her entire body, including her brain, lips and tongue, to the left and has made her likely to blab about the whereabouts of alcoholics everywhere.
While Kris was getting together her ammo, we took a peek inside one of Scott’s therapy sessions. It was a lot of how he felt bad for drinking and getting so out of control, but it was also heavy on how frustrated he was that he wasn’t able to manipulate Kourtney into letting him see his son. Even though he was admitting his faults and regrets, Scott came across as an even more unlikeable character than the one who couldn’t get a grip on reality and shattered a mirror when his baby was in the next room. He kept talking to his therapist about how much stuff he had to deal with, which indubitably was a reference to his life-changing work with vitamins, club-hopping and the painful decision of how big to make the triangle cups of the go-go girls’ string bikinis. Can you imagine all that? On top of not being able to see his son, recuperating from MAJOR surgery on the tendons in his hands that will ultimately stop working if he has to continue “satisfying” himself due to Kourtney’s absence…he can’t even pretend to burp his son while he BBM’s his night’s itinerary to his friends! Horror.
Then, Kris went over to Scott’s house and urged him to seek treatment for his vices in another city. She presented him with a few papers of facilities she thought could help him, but Scott disposed of them out the window when she left, which was a reminder to us at home that paper shredders and garbage cans and keeping the ponds and oceans clean for ducks and jellyfish is for losers who have working tendons.
While Kourtney was busy keeping Mason away from Scott and while Kris was busy schooling Scott on his rehabilitation options, Khloé was given the task of firing an employee who was suspected of shoplifting at DASH. Khloé was quite nervous to do it, even though she’s the Kardashian who judges drag queen contests. She somehow suited up and told the girl she sucked at retail and that she was fired, but that there were no hard feelings. Nobody threatened suicide or elaborated on how they were going to put a dead baby in a suitcase and leave it on a bus for all to see, so by all accounts it was a successful termination.
When Kourtney found out Kris had been to Scott’s hotel, she was furious. She yelled at her mother for interfering with her personal life, and Khloé pointed out if Kris kept up the act, she would drive Kourtney right back into the abusive relationship. Kris realized Khloé was right, and after she apologized to Kourtney, packed up her bags and went back to Los Angeles.
Next week is the last episode! Will Kourtney and Scott resolve their issues or will Kourtney finally use her brain that’s more developed than her other sisters’ and cut her losses? I think that’s what we all hope for, and truthfully, Scott won’t probably won’t notice. He has ascots to tie.
