What happened in episode 6 of The Kardashians season 5?
The episode begins with Khloe and Kim on a video call with Kourtney, who decides to stay home for 40 days to let her body heal after giving birth to her son Rocky. She states in her confessional that since she recently gave birth, she entrusted Kim with the responsibility of arranging the Christmas Eve party.
In another scene, Khloe enjoys dinner with her children, commenting on the importance of spending quality time with them and watching them grow. She also mentions that she is going on a trip to Aspen after New Year's with her family, without the kids. She emphasizes that she will be social when she wants to.
The Kardashians' star Kim Kardashian appoints the official Kardashian-Jenner party planner, Mindy Weiss, for the Christman Eve planning. Setting "Winter Wonderland" as the party's theme, Kim arranges for a giant gingerbread house and a sled slope.
She also asks Mindy to spray the entire yard with snow. The party features performances by multiple singers, like Babyface, Wanya from Boyz II Men, and Tank. The Kardashians cast members open up about how important the event is for each of them. It serves as an opportunity to spend some memorable time as a family.
"We all turn into 4-year-olds. We all believe in Santa. I love the memories that we make. We feel so special, so lucky, and we're all together. Doesn't get any better than that," says Kris Jenner.
In another segment of the episode, Kendall and Kylie discuss who makes the best beeshee in their family while shooting a pasta recipe for 818 Tequila's YouTube channel.
Elsewhere, Kim questions Khloe's "condescending" offer to wash Chicago's hair. She mentions Khloe's "tone" made her feel guilty for not being around her children. As a counter statement, Kim scrutinizes Khloe's "rigid" lifestyle, which makes Khloe reconsider her decision to go to Aspen.
In another scene, Kris visits Kourtney, who appears to be busy selecting an outfit for Travis's opening performance at the Emmys for singer Phil Collins. Kourtney opens up about her anxiety over making a public appearance after staying home for several months due to the pregnancy.
She also informs Kris that she will accompany Travis to Australia while he tours with the band blink-182 for a month. She adds that she will skip the Aspen trip because she wants to nourish her body and regain strength after her pregnancy.
Khloe joins her family for the trip, not letting Kim's harsh words take a toll on her. The Kardashians prepare to take off for Aspen when the pilot informs them there will be a delay due to poor visibility. The pilot suggests landing at Grand Junction, a three-hour drive to Aspen. However, Kylie felt uneasy about driving through the snow for hours. Anxiety overwhelms Kylie, and she backs out of the trip.
While Kris supports Kylie's decision, the other sisters feel enraged. They complain about Kris letting Kylie have her way every time. In her confessional clip on The Kardashians, Kendall reveals Kylie is her only "snowboarding buddy," which is why she will miss her.
The rest of the Kardashians reach Aspen, where Khloe and Kim get into an argument when the former insists on video-calling her daughter True. Recalling Khloe's past actions, Kim criticizes her "strict schedule" and asks her to "live." Meanwhile, Khloe feels frustrated with Kim's behavior and regrets coming on the trip.
