Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 19 Recap: Lord of the Cougars

Sunday on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 12 Episode 19, Kim sought to control her anxiety and Kendall’s work life went south.


We started things off with Kendall Jenner hitting up her mother, Kris Jenner to let her know about her sleep paralysis. 



Kris was very understanding about the whole thing, but was quick to put it all down to anxiety over flying. 


This did not sit well with Kendall, who did not take too kindly to having the sleep paralysis brushed under the rug. 


“One day when I’m rushed to the hospital, you guys are gonna wake up,” she snapped.


Nobody likes being undermined, but it was pretty clear Kendall was over it and made her feelings known to her mother. 


Their conversation resumed when Kendall returned to L.A and it went a little better. Kendall revealed to her mother that she would rather not travel because of the sleep issues. 


Kris was understandably taken aback by the whole thing. If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, you’ll know that Kendall is quite the jetsetter. That’s sort of what happens when you’re a model. 



“It almost feels like my heart stops,” she revealed to Kris. She then revealed that her health is more important than her career. Might Kendall actually quit her career?


There’s absolutely no chance that Kris will let this go through. The Kardashian brand already seems to be dying, so Kendall scaling back work would put the family further out to dry. 


Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian was having some health issues of her own and turned to her BFF, Jonathan Cheban for some advice. Kim was scared at the thought of anything bad happening.


Everyone worries about things going wrong at some points in their lives, but Kim seems to be pretty darn sure things are going to start going wrong. However, Kim was unfamiliar with what sleep paralysis was and Kendall explained it to her. 


“It’s like you’re asleep, and then the middle of the night, basically your mind wakes up but your body’s still asleep, so you wake up but nothing can move. You can’t speak — nothing.”


“It’s the scariest thing in the entire world. You literally think you’re never going to be able to move again.”



Kim then took to the camera to lift the lid on her thoughts on sleep paralysis. 


“I mean, I thought I was having anxiety. This is like so much scarier. I’ve never heard of sleep paralysis and I think it sounds like such a crazy experience, and I feel so bad that she’s been going through this.”


Kim being stressed about the whole thing paved the way for Kris to actually acknowledge what Kendall was going through and hoped both of her daughters could work together to get better. 


Kim and Kendall then decided the best course of action would be to visit a therapist to see if there was any support available that could get both gals back to their former glory. 


In true KUWTK fashion, Kim went for a car ride with the therapist and was told to try and handle the thoughts in the moment, rather than allowing them to play on her mind. It made perfect sense, but Kim knew it was going to be easier said than done. 


Kim further spoke about it and hoped the anxiety was just temporary for her. Thankfully, Kim later revealed that she thought the anxiety was mostly gone. She noted that her father living life to the fullest, inspired her to follow the same example for the sake of her kids. 



Unfortunately, Kendall wasn’t getting any better and was still battling her issues. Kim told her to try meditating and she revealed that it did help. 


Kendall and Kim then played a prank on Kris by telling her to cancel everything for them, forcing Kris to freak out. 


Elsewhere, Scott Disick just couldn’t seem to find his own bunch of friends, so he settled for Kris Jenner and her gal pals. It all seemed pretty desperate and like something that was constructed to fill the run time of the episode. 


When Kim and Kourtney confronted him about it, he got super defensive about all of it. 


He told the camera, “I didn’t want to be a full-blown cougar stalker. It’s definitely not the most normal thing on the planet, so maybe I shouldn’t hang out with the cougar squad.”


Khloe called out Kourtney for hating on Scott hanging around with their mother, leading to Scott continuing his new friendship with them and leaving us with one of his signature quotes. 


“These ladies need the Lord.”


They most certainly do not.
