Season 3’s explosive war between Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian reignited once again in the Season 4 premiere of Hulu’s The Kardashians.
Much of the third season revolved around Kim, 42, accepting an offer to serve as the creative director for a Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan, which upset Kourtney because D&G designed her wedding.
The old wounds re-opened when the sisters were seeing what each other was saying about them while watching the edits, which culminated in a nasty phone call where Kourtney called Kim a ‘witch’ and Kim dragged her best friends and even her children into the spat.
The episode begins with a bit of a preview of the whole season with bits from the Season 4 premiere and beyond, teasing a huge fight between Kim and Kourtney.
The tease also reveals that Kendall’s anxiety is one reason she hasn’t had kids yet and Khloe insisting people need to know she’s still single.

Khloe also claims Kris is lying about something in the tease, while Kendall and Khloe think Kris is ‘too nice’ while Kourtney confronts Tristan Thompson and says he doesn’t deserve Khloe.
Khloe tells Malika Haqq that if someone did to her daughters what Tristan did to her, she would, ‘probably castrate them and smile doing it.’
The tease ends with embattled sisters Kim and Kourtney sitting down at confession together, as a producer asks if she thinks people would be surprised to see them together.
Neither sister responds immediately as Kim says, ‘Um, we’re like… crickets,’ as the title sequence plays.
The episode begins in earnest at a private airport hangar, where most of the family boards one of their private planes.
Meanwhile, the family members deliver a number of remarks about being back for a fourth season, including Khloe Kardashian stating, ‘Season 4? F**k yeah!’
‘Season 4, we’re back. The world better watch out, okurrr?’ Kim Kardashian says, trying to imitate Cardi B’s inimitable catch-phrase.
It’s revealed that they’re all boarding the private plane on a family trip to Cabo San Lucas, with Kim mentioning, ‘Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Kylie is on this trip?’

Shots are brought out, surprising Kendall, who says, ‘Oh, we’re actually doing shots?’ as they all cheer for going to Cabo, as the plane takes off.
Corey Gamble turns to all of them and says, ‘I’m so happy to be with all five of y’all… minus my little sweet Kourtney,’ which they all agree to, without really addressing the elephant in the plane: the absence of Kourtney Kardashian.
Kim says in confession, ‘The problem is… and I’ll be real with you guys, this is the real problem. Last season was really rough.’
They show flashback to Season 3 with Kim and Kourtney’s feud over Kim becoming the creative director for a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan… after Kourtney collaborated with the brand for her wedding, even using Domenico Dolce’s home in Portofino, Italy for the ceremony.
Kim added in confession, ‘Then we were over it. We had fun. You saw we did that Christmas album. We talked it out. Everything had been fine,’ as they show flashbacks to those scenes.
‘And then… we watched the edits for our show. And I start hearing what she’s saying about me,’ Kim says, as they show a clip of Kourtney saying there is a ‘greediness’ to Kim taking the Dolce gig.
Kim adds, ‘and she hears what I’m saying about her,’ as they cut to a Season 3 scene where Kim says Kourtney, ‘but doesn’t have any friends, so, Travis?’

‘And then we get mad all over again. It brings up so many… so many feelings,’ Kim says in confession.
Kourtney adds in a solo confession, ‘I think last season was really hard. What’s harder than living it in real time is watching it back in the edit, which isn’t a natural way of living. So my whole family is going on a trip to Cabo, but three days earlier, before the trip, Kim and I have this heated phone call.’
They show the call from three days earlier, showing Kim at her house calling Kourtney, telling her that, ‘as part of this Dolce contract, I have to go back to Milan to do a dinner to launch my campaign that I shot. So it’s like, you know, I would love you to come with me. I mean, I know it’s not what you want to do, but I always want you to know you’re invited, and like…’ as Kourtney responds, ‘Thank you, I’m a little Dolce’d out, so I probably won’t come, but I’m always supporting you of like what you’re doing.’
Kourtney adds, ‘I just don’t think it’s cool the way that particular thing happened. It’s not about that. It’s just about the deeper thing that we can talk about.’
Kim admitted, ‘And I understand. I mean, I got worked up watching the episode and watching the cuts, so I can only imagine, you know. I see both sides. Like I said, I think like you think things, so you’re getting riled up. I think things, so I’m getting riled up.’
Kourtney responds, ‘I’m actually not riled up. I just think it makes me not want to be around,’ as Kim says, ‘And that’s totally you know your choice and decision. I just think that like we should have a conversation about it, because I got worked up and I’m like, wait, nothing happened at the wedding. It wasn’t even a conversation at the wedding, you know.’
‘I think it was what you saw at the wedding, cause no one had any interest before that,’ Kourtney said, which confused Kim, who asked, ‘What do you mean?’
‘I think it’s that you saw this thing that was mine and that wasn’t yours and that you wanted it, you took it and made it bigger,’ Kourtney says, but Kim retorts, ‘See that’s where I think you’re really… that’s where I think that you’re wrong.’
Solo: Kourtney adds in a solo confession, ‘I think last season was really hard. What’s harder than living it in real time is watching it back in the edit, which isn’t a natural way of living. So my whole family is going on a trip to Cabo, but three days earlier, before the trip, Kim and I have this heated phone call’
Solo: Kourtney adds, ‘I just don’t think it’s cool the way that particular thing happened. It’s not about that. It’s just about the deeper thing that we can talk about’
Call: They show the call from three days earlier, showing Kim at her house calling Kourtney, telling her that, ‘as part of this Dolce contract, I have to go back to Milan to do a dinner to launch my campaign that I shot. So it’s like, you know, I would love you to come with me. I mean, I know it’s not what you want to do, but I always want you to know you’re invited, and like…’ as Kourtney responds, ‘Thank you, I’m a little Dolce’d out, so I probably won’t come, but I’m always supporting you of like what you’re doing
Interest: ‘I think it was what you saw at the wedding, cause no one had any interest before that,’ Kourtney said, which confused Kim, who asked, ‘What do you mean?’
‘If anything, I was like, I don’t like – and I told Khloe – I don’t like your look, I don’t like this, like, if it was visually, it was not my thing and I tried to do everything to stay away from that, but even like you said…’ Kim says, as Kourtney retorts, ‘Like, you’re missing the point.’
‘But isn’t the point about the clothes? And you’re talking about the looks? I steered away… I did…’ Kim says as Kourtney insists, ‘It’s not about the clothes!’
Kim adds, ‘Kourtney, it’s not that original. Everyone does 90s, like it’s not a new concept is what I’m trying to say, and there’s only so many looks to pick from.’
Kourtney responds, ‘You’re talking about the bulls**t details cause it’s all your egotistical selfish mind can think about. You cannot stand someone else being the center of attention. You came to my wedding, you couldn’t be happy. You complained from the second you got there, till the second you left. That’s what it’s about. Forget about you couldn’t be happy, you couldn’t be happy for me. You couldn’t be happy that I was the center of attention and you weren’t,’ which clearly upsets Kim.
‘What is it that you feel so low of me,’ Kim begins, as Kourtney asks if she wants to, ‘dig deep’ on this issue.
‘No I want you to dig deep and figure out why you hate me so much and why you’re so angry with me because all of this never happened! I was so happy for you!’ Kim insists, but Kourtney says, ‘No you weren’t.’
‘Why would I not be happy for you?’ Kim asks, and Kourtney responds, ‘I felt, at my wedding, like you weren’t happy for me,’ as Kim fires back.
‘Because you have a serious vendetta. You are just different… you hate us, you’re a different person, we all talk about it,’ Kim says, as Kourtney responds, ‘Because I don’t need you guys anymore. I don’t need to be a part of it.’
Missing the point: ‘If anything, I was like, I don’t like – and I told Khloe – I don’t like your look, I don’t like this, like, if it was visually, it was not my thing and I tried to do everything to stay away from that, but even like you said…’ Kim says, as Kourtney retorts, ‘Like, you’re missing the point’
Hate: ‘No I want you to dig deep and figure out why you hate me so much and why you’re so angry with me because all of this never happened! I was so happy for you!’ Kim insists, but Kourtney says, ‘No you weren’t’
Clothes: ‘But isn’t the point about the clothes? And you’re talking about the looks? I steered away… I did…’ Kim says as Kourtney insists, ‘It’s not about the clothes!’
Happy: ‘No I want you to dig deep and figure out why you hate me so much and why you’re so angry with me because all of this never happened! I was so happy for you!’ Kim insists, but Kourtney says, ‘No you weren’t’
Don’t need: ‘Because you have a serious vendetta. You are just different… you hate us, you’re a different person, we all talk about it,’ Kim says, as Kourtney responds, ‘Because I don’t need you guys anymore. I don’t need to be a part of it.
Kim adds, ‘All of your friends call us complaining, whether you think they’re the ones going to you, they’re all coming to us on the side, saying the opposite to us, so we’re all confused and we’re on a group chat that’s actually labeled ‘Not Kourtney,’ so we know and have to funnel what your friends are saying to us and to figure out why you’re such a different person and why you have this vendetta out.’
Kourtney adds, ‘Do you think I want to be a part of that?’ Kim adds, ‘They’re your friends! The ones you speak to on a daily basis, but you take it all out on me, and I’m trying the best that I can to reconcile and figure it out and call you all the time.’
‘It’s about you. You are a narcissist. It’s all about you. Anything you do it’s about you and how it looks to the world about you,’ Kourtney says, as Kim tries to take it all in.
‘So you just want to clear up your facts, take out my whole f***ing side of the episode. I don’t give a f**k what anyone thinks about me,’ Kourtney says.
Kim asks, ‘Are you happy?’ Kourtney responds, ‘Yes. Not when I’m on the phone with you. I was five minutes ago.’
Kim dabs tears from her eyes and says, ‘We all are concerned. We all think that you’re just really not happy.’
‘So you’re telling me that I’m unhappy and that I’m miserable and that you have a side chat called Not Kourtney but you’re telling me that you’re happy for me?’ Kourtney asks.
A defensive Kim retorts, ‘All of this I just said, after you told me that I’m not happy for you,’ as Kourtney adds, ‘Right, so that just confirms it. I have a happy life, and the happiness comes when I get the f**k away from you guys, specifically you.’
Friends: Kim adds, ‘All of your friends call us complaining, whether you think they’re the ones going to you, they’re all coming to us on the side, saying the opposite to us, so we’re all confused and we’re on a group chat that’s actually labeled ‘Not Kourtney,’ so we know and have to funnel what your friends are saying to us and to figure out why you’re such a different person and why you have this vendetta out’
Narcissist: ‘It’s about you. You are a narcissist. It’s all about you. Anything you do it’s about you and how it looks to the world about you,’ Kourtney says, as Kim tries to take it all in’
Happy: A defensive Kim retorts, ‘All of this I just said, after you told me that I’m not happy for you,’ as Kourtney adds, ‘Right, so that just confirms it. I have a happy life, and the happiness comes when I get the f**k away from you guys, specifically you’
Concerned: Kim dabs tears from her eyes and says, ‘We all are concerned. We all think that you’re just really not happy’
Kim adds, ‘Understood. I’m concerned, but I won’t be because I’m a narcissist so I’m only going to think about myself and be concerned about myself.’
Kourtney adds, ‘If you wanna think like, oh wow, my sister thought… felt like I wasn’t happy or supporting her at her wedding, I wonder what that’s about?’
Kim asks, ‘What can I do to make you feel that…’ as Kourtney interrupts, ‘Well certainly not having side chats, specifically having me as the topic. Like who the f**k has time? Maybe you guys need to go think about if you’re not happy if that’s what you have time for, to sit and have side chats specifically to talk about me?’
Kim adds, ‘We’re allowed to express concern, we have side chats about everybody, that’s just what you do.’
Kourtney responds, ‘Get a f***ing life! I don’t have side chats about anyone!’ Kim adds, ‘Well your kids have even come to me with problems that they have and how you are so…’
Kourtney adds, ‘Is that helpful? You’re like adding it into a fight to like have a side, like it’s you and my friends and my kids and everyone against me. It’s like you’re just a f***ing witch and I f***ing hate you.’
Kim calmly says, ‘OK,’ as Kourtney hangs up the phone, before they cut back to the confession with Kim and Kourtney together, awkwardly, when the producer asks the same question from the teaser: ‘Do you think people will be surprised to see you two together?’
‘We’re like, uh, crickets… just kidding,’ Kim says calmly, though Kourtney forces a smile but doesn’t laugh.
