It’s like early Keeping Up all over again: Kim glued to Kourtney’s side, helping her console a crying Penelope over FaceTime. When the call ends, Khloe arrives, and the support structure shifts. Kourt’s seniority may have shaped Kim during childhood, but Kim was Khloe’s most immediate elder. We see it play out in the scene: Khloe supports Kim in supporting Kourtney.
Next, Kendall joins, murmuring questions to Khloe about the situation. Even this is a case study of their underlying dynamics as sisters. Khloe—the classic middle-child mediator—has always been the bridge between the Kardashian and Jenner clans. Soon after, Kylie arrives, asking, “You’re gonna have a sister meeting and not tell me?” Adler might clock this as a common “youngest child” quandary: the babies of the fam are often the last to find out whenever anything goes down.
Finally, fully assembled and perfectly sequenced, the sisters begin to process and problem-solve Kourtney’s crisis in ways that reflect their various family roles. Alfred Adler once wrote that “the human being and all his capabilities and forms of expression are inseparably linked to the existence of others.” This spontaneous sister summit shows us just how right he was.
The Meta Meme Moment
Kim and Khloe go for a hike to dish on their love lives and discuss what the future holds. The open green terrain and dirt pathway look a little familiar. “This is where North did her big debut in a music video,” Kim says, reminding us of the sweet Spike Jonze-directed video for “Only One,” Kanye West’s ode to his daughter. “Or your famous meme,” Khloe points out, immediately posing us with a tricky rhetorical question: Which had been more culturally relevant? The music video or the meme? “My meme!” Kim exclaims. “My meme is behind that tree! I have to go recreate it.”
Of course, Kim and Khloe are referring to the “Bushes Meme,” a Kim classic. Hearing Kim refer to a meme as “mine” is intriguing, because the nature of memes is that they are freely exchanged. Can a meme really belong to someone? At the same time, it’s a compelling consideration: what is it like, as a person, to be a meme? A meme, after all, recontextualizes an image with a personalized message or larger cultural meaning.
