House flipping, hip replacements, casual mentions of Pete Davidson, and lunch dates with the illustrious Martha Stewart. That, along with some out-of-context business advice by Kim K, is just what the fourth episode of The Kardashians' second season had in store.

This week, viewers learned that Kendall Jenner has been dabbling in the art of house flipping, and she even sought the advice of Scott Disick who apparently has experience in the real estate world – who knew.

While talks of Pete Davidson and his once planned trip to space with Jeff Bezos popped up a few times throughout the episode, it wasn't Kim's ex lover who took center stage, but rather Kim's "controversial" advice to women in business that was given during a Variety interview

Of course, the world has known about Kim's comments for months, as there was much backlash after the edited clip made its rounds on social media back in March.

However, we did get to see the interview in a larger scope of context than just the "get your f**king a** up and work" comment, and we got to see how Kim really felt about the public's reaction.

Kim Kardashian gets real behind closed doors

It's clear that Kim's statements were largely taken out of context when the clip started circulating, and her response behind closed doors seemed to show her intentions were pure. Though, as Khloé Kardashian said, she might not have been the right messenger for this particular message.

But, because Kim and her family did mention Pete so many times, noting how great of a guy he is and how much everyone loves him, we can't help but hope the real reason the two parted ways comes to light sometime this season.

As for Kris, it seems the momager was trying to suppress her anxiety over getting a hip replacement by concocting a plan that included getting Martha Stewart over for lunch to talk Peacocks with Khloé. Because nothing says "handling getting older well" like trying to talk your _-year-old daughter to buy not one, but two peacocks from Martha.

This obviously didn't fare well, and Kris ended up facing the music by agreeing to get a hip replacement done, and Kim sarcastically threatened the doctor's life before her mom went under the knife.

Did the infamous momager opt to get any other work done when she got her hip surgery, and will we find out more about Kim and Pete's whirlwind romance and their quiet parting of ways? Find out when The Kardashians returns to Hulu on October 20 at midnight ET.
