Khloe asks Kendal to help put some pans away or something, and Kendal makes a pretty big fuss about it. Kourtney asks if she's ever done a chore in her life. Right. I'm supposed to believe the older Kardashians had it so rough when their celebrity lawyer father with his trophy wife were slumming in Malibu or some shit and the girls had to DO LAUNDRY! PUT DISHES AWAY! THE HORROR!
Well Kendal doesn't do shit. We see her acting like a brat (pmsing) to her older sisters and to Kylie also. And they all think that she's about to become a woman. The girls ask Kylie if she knows what a period is, and she says it's how you know when the stork is coming. Or isn't coming. She says she just overheard adults yelling about it before. Or she bluntly stated "It's when blood comes out of your vagina." The sisters all laugh about it, and apparently Kylie is comfortable with it, but Kendal isn't.
They teach Kylie the finer points of tampons and pads, and Kylie asks how to use a tampon. That starts the caravan into the bathroom and the door closes. Then we hear from inside...Ok, I can't even finish that without making myself uncomfortable. Khloe just says get me a pair of panties. Panties!
A period means you're old enough to run away. Go on.
You know, Kris isn't just on the Ole Skool Crew (I was right, spelled with sass!). She has to audition for it. So she brings Kylie, Kendal and KBruce along with her to the studio. They introduce her to the team and they all clap. Hmm, have I seen a solo introduction to a group of a Kardashian "participant" to be met with applause before? Yes, yes I believe I have.
Kris says she's nervous, and Bruce, decked out in Team USA tracksuit, tells her to relax and feel the beat. He tells us that he got best dancer in high school, and then we see him doing some sort of, I guess, dancing? In the middle of the Ole Skewl Krew dancers circled around him. It's awkward.
Searching for mom's vibrators? Check. Discussing periods? Check. Bruce Jenner dancing? Alright, E! You've gone too far.
You know what else is awkward? Kris Kardashian dancing. It looks pretty bad. So obviously she's not going to get the part, right? Because they're not going to play favorites with these kameras here. She's going to get the same, rough treatment as any other person auditioning. But my instincts are terrible, because they think she's a great dancer, and she's on the team (if she agrees to practice)! Hooray! Bruce says they should call Chris Judd to get her some work. Is he the dude who married Ashley Judd and took her name? I'll assume it is.
Later the older K's and Bruce are gathered around talking about the Kendal situation. She's even acting differently to Bruce. Suddenly she won't hug him, or hold his hand, and forget about French kissing. He says this girl puberty stuff is all new to him, so it's better to just let the girls handle it. Hands-off parenting, the most half-assed of all parenting. Khloe says that all of her questions will be answered in complete, graphic, horrific detail, and I'm not sure if Bruce is more terrified or I am. It's probably me since I'll have to witness it later, whereas he's off the hook. Jerk.
Kris is now getting her dancing lessons with Chris Judd, and suddenly she's a much better dancer. Well, not much better. I'm pretty sure this is an accurate portrayal. She really can't dance. As she's working on the routine, we see her start hopping (did we see any of that at the audition?) and for some reason the camera cuts away to Kendal. Then we hear a scream and she's hurt? But we didn't see her fall. Seriously, they don't even try to edit this show well. There's no reason they shouldn't have shown her fall if it actually happened.
Call J Lo and tell her whatever I did, I'm sorry. I can't live this life anymore! Take me baaaaack!
So they do what any normal person would do, they call EMTs? Choreographer Chris says she felt her knee pop. So they wrap an ice pack around it. Hmm, maybe that was some sort of emergency response team at the gym they were at. Regardless, it was pointless. The dude says she should go see her doctor and get X-rays, but she just decides to go home and rest it and hope she's better for her audition. Oh will she ever be better. The suspense. Is killing. Me.

The meniscal tear is hard to believe for me. I have never heard of knee surgery two days after the injury except if it is a pro athlete (time is money) but even that is pushing it. For one thing, you need to wait for all the swelling to go down before they can do the repair. A lot of times you also need the swelling to decrease before they can do an MRI to diagnosis a tear. That's neither here nor there I guess... we'll just to wait and see if she is using crutches in the next episode or if they just cut a few weeks of time out.

That woman was not injured. TOTAL BULLSHIT.
And yet, I still watch the show, even though my boyfriend told me I can't yell at the TV anymore.
Awesome recap, btw.

Oh. My. Gawd. As I read through this I thought that you had to be kidding about what the episode was about...but then realized-- in horror-- that you weren't!
I want some of whatever the person was smoking who comes up with the "scripts" for this "reality" fiasco.
Great recap! You save my brain cells from having to watch it, and my TV from having crap thrown at it in disgust!

Kristy, I'm sorry to say that your statements regarding the knee surgery are not correct. Swelling has nothing to do with how quickly a scan can be taken. If that were the case, no scans would ever be used b/c swelling tends to be the first sign that something is incorrect. Secondly, it was most likely a MRI that was performed b/c these detect tears, not just fractures and breaks, like an X-ray would. It is very to have knee surgery 2 days following the injury b/c MRI's have to be processed and read and insurance red tape has to be cut. Given Bruce's former Olympic athlete status, however, I would assume that he has expedited healthcare lined up should it be needed. Now, recovery from knee surgey is a b----, but a meniscus tear is not as severe or invasive as an ACL tear b/c they don't have to graf the tear w/another part. I say this all as someone who is not only in the medical field, but who also recently recovered from ACL reconstruction.
Sorry for all the geek-medical speak. Bottom line is that the editing on this show is so shady, it's completely reasonable to doubt everything that's shown.

Hello to another member of the medical field and I am glad you understood my point. I, like others, don't really believe that she injured her knee. At least in Pittsburgh, any surgeons I have worked with will not operate on someone until the swelling has gone down. I was also basing my crutch estimate on the the most basic surgery- a menisectomy which requires crutches for a minimum of 1-2 weeks.
The important point is the plot lines are so ridiculous that it is addicting
