The Keeping Up With The Kardashians mid-season finale is upon us. After tonight, the full Kardashian crew hands off their time slot to E!’s new show, Rob & Chyna, starring, of course, Rob, Chyna, and the baby Kardashian-to-be . Presumably, this would be the perfect time to ramp up the drama for the new show, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This week, we need to deal with Khloé’s birthday, Kourtney ’s stage fright, and a big blowout fight between Rob and Chyna. Khloé has a birthday coming up and Scott and Kendall want to do something big. Khloé isn’t feeling it. “I hate birthdays,” she says. Khloé means her own, of course. She loves throwing big parties for other people. That's basically Khloé in a nutshell, right? Kendall and Scott know better, even if they don’t get very far with Khloé.Kourtney has agreed to be brand ambassador for skin-care brand. One of her new responsibilities is a trip to London and a speech. She is happy about the skin-care line, but not at all thrilled with the idea of the speaking engagement. “Speaking in public is like a huge ‘no’ for me,” she says. She failed two classes in college simply because she wouldn’t give a speech. Jonathan Cheban offers to “come out of PR retirement” to help her prepare.The tension ratchets up a little when Khloé, Scott, and Kendall discuss Rob over lunch. Scott asks about Khloé’s meet-up with Rob. “It was good, right?” Scott asks.It was, she replies, but she wishes Rob would do more to introduce Chyna to the family. “When I married Lamar, it was awkward. It was my job to bring Lamar in and make people love him,” she says. Scott points out that the new couple had a big fight. Rob’s not living with her. Scott doesn’t have many details, but it worries Khloé. She doesn’t want Rob to go back into hiding.Jonathan lives up to his promise to help Kourtney prepare for her London trip. However, it doesn’t go as planned. He reminds her that she will be there on her own — without her sisters. That stresses her out more than it helps her.Back in birthday-mode, Kris, Kendall, and Scott meet to discuss plans for Khloé’s party. Kendall tells her mom that she tried to get ideas out of Khloé, but the birthday girl was no help. “She was into nothing, so I think we just do something,” Kendall says, her logic unassailable. Scott has some suggestions. A foam party. Jell-O wrestling. Kris vetoes the Jell-O.“Khloé is so good at making sure that everyone else feels so special and loved,” Kris says. Kendall has a solution: male strippers.Kris catches up with Khloé and Kim over lunch and the topic is Rob. Kris talked to Chyna and the conversation was concerning. “It really scared me,” Kris says. “Everything that we experienced is what’s she’s experiencing.” Khloé is surprised, because when she talked to Rob, he was totally loved up with Chyna. Khloé shares her mom’s concern.
