Following a Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 premiere that took stock of various relationship - between Kim and North, Kris and Bruce, the focus on this installment turned almost entirely to Khloe and Lamar.

And, call us crazy, but we don't know if these two will make it.

Khloe is doing the best she can to get through to Lamar, but a dagger then hits when his father, Joe, talks major smack about the family in a publicized interview.

It takes Khloe by surprise and it hits her right in the heart.

"Take me through the mud but please don't drag my family through it," Khloé says, as Lamar and Joe both eventually apologize for the comments.

But the damage has very much been done.

And the damage has also been done on our eyeball, as Kris and Jonathan Chban play on the carousel and go shopping together, all while Kim sits in the car, afraid of the paparazzi.

One could ask why she left home in that case… but one would then be questioning the show's script writers and the drama this scene brings with it.

So Kris and Jonathan end up going away for a weekend of relaxation and end up meeting Ben Flajnik - oh, yes, from The Bachelor fame - and sit down for drinks with the ABC star. What a crazy coincidence, huh?!?

Kris laughs over how Kim thinks she's shopping, only for someone (who could it have been?!?) to post a photo of Jenner and Ben's time together on Instagram.

"I just don't understand why you guys would lie to me about where you were," Kim complains. "Don't lie. I don't have time for it!"

Kourtney and Scott, meanwhile, decide to work on their relationship by going to therapy, where it's somehow decided that Scott needs a hobby.

Enter this GIF, which made sitting through this entire episode totally worthwhile:
