Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 2 Recap: Lamar Gets a Second Chance

Sunday night’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 2 focused largely on Kanye West’s fashion show in New York City.


As you might expect, this unique event spawned a number of storylines … including Lamar Odom making his first appearance in public.



When you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, you get behind the scenes looks at events you’ve already seen play out online.


It’s weird in a sense, but such is the life of the First Family of Reality TV, which headed to the Big Apple this week for Ye’s big show.


“New York is a very negative place for Lamar,” Khloe said, nothing that she had “a ton of anxiety” about Lamar heading to the event.


Kim also told Khloe she would talk to Caitlyn Jenner about their beef, but with everything going on with Odom, Khloe focused only on that.


“I don’t really care to see Caitlyn right now,” Khloe said.


Given Lamar’s situation, “I feel very overwhelmed.”


In New York, Odom said it was “Kanye’s day” and that Khloe shouldn’t worry about him. Well, she did, and his appearance was a big deal.


The arena went crazy and people started crying as the former NBA star walked on his own months after surviving a near-fatal overdose.


Soon, though, it was indeed Kanye’s day.



“Seeing Kanye’s whole vision of his collection … all of it blended together, it was a very cool, special moment,” Kim Kardashian gushed.


On the ride home, Kourtney Kardashian told Lamar that people’s prayers saved him and asked, “Do you have a new outlook on life?”


“I do,” the former NBA star said … though if reports of Lamar Odom drinking again are accurate, his word may not be the most trustworthy.


“God is good,” Kourtney said, while Khloe agreed obviously, but urged Odom to understand that this kind of second chance is very rare.


At one point, doctors said Odom had four hours to live, and in Khloe’s mind, “I want him to be more afraid” as a result of what happened.


“He is rare, this is like a second chance.”  



She also said they could get back together at one point but would have to cut ties with their first marriage “because this one is tainted.” 


Not optimistic even then … and we know why. Some people simply won’t do what it takes to help themselves, and it’s tragically sad.


Speaking of alcoholics, Kourtney was having her own issues with Scott Disick partying like a madman with Kylie Jenner’s beau, Tyga.


She blamed the rapper in part for Disick’s recent behavior and told Kylie that she really just wanted to call him up and go off on him.


“I don’t know about going off on him, because he’s very sensitive,” the 18-year-old reality star said, ever the protective girlfriend. 


Dude is going through a lot …
