Kylie Jenner’s anxiety caused her to pull out of family trip at the very last minute.
On the new episode of The Kardashians, Kylie joins sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kim Kardashian — who are in the midst of a fight — as well as Kendall Jenner and mom Kris Jenner, on a private plane headed to the Colorado mountain resort town of Aspen. Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian Barker stayed behind with her son Rocky, born in November.
At first, Kylie, 26, shares in her confessional, “I am very excited. I’ve been wanting to go to Aspen this year. I try to snowboard at least once a year. And I’m just feeling blessed to be around family.”
However, once they are all on the plane, the pilot announces that they’re delayed due to weather and low visibility — a delay which keeps them sitting and scrolling on their phones for 48 minutes.
When the pilot says he can fly into Grand Junction — a three-hour drive from Aspen — Kylie says, “I don’t think that’s safe. I don’t like to drive in the snow.”
Kylie says that “there were three crashes” involving people she knows who drove in the snow. But as she’s talking, Kendall and Kim’s expressions turn sour.
“Kylie’s anxiety is kicking in, and I totally understand,” Kris, 68, says.
“I’m here, I’m ready, I’m packed, I’m ready to go,” Kylie says, but insists “I’m not going to Grand Junction.”
About a half hour later, the pilot says “I think the best bet is, let me launch to Grand Junction, let me see what that weather’s looking like,” sharing that he can check in on the weather while en route.
While he’s speaking, Kylie sits stone-faced.
“Are you positive we can land in Grand Junction?” Kris asks.
“Oh, 100 percent,” he replies, prompting Kris to say, “Well then, let’s just go.”
In another confessional, Kylie insists, “I’m really good with flying….I wasn’t in the past.”
And while Kylie adds “I’ve gotten much better,” she shares, “I’m having a lot of anxiety.”
Back on the plane, Kylie tells her sisters “I’ve been having a really bad feeling for the last two days.”
“Why would you say that?” her sisters retort.
“I couldn’t even sleep last night,” she continues, as an exasperated Kendall, 26, tells her, “The fact that you even put that out into the universe is one of the weirdest things.”
Meanwhile, Khloé, 40, observes their interaction with her arms folded.
“You’re not supposed to speak it into existence,” Kendall continues.
Back in her confessional, Kylie says, “I’m just not comfortable right now.” The mom to son Aire, 2, and daughter Stormi, 6, whom she shares with Travis Scott, says, “I’m thinking about my kids.”
And while she admits “I’m maybe dramatic,” Kylie adds, “I feel like something isn’t safe.”
Back on the plane, the sisters all share incredulous expressions as an increasingly distraught Kylie tells Kris, “I just had a bad feeling for the past two days. I don’t like the series of events. I feel like I have to go. I think I’m going to get off.”
As the plane starts moving, Khloé says that someone needs to tell the pilot to turn the plane around so Kylie can get off.
“The minute Kylie says, ‘Turn the plane around, I want to get off,’ I know she’s serious,” Kris explains. “I know the anxiety is overwhelming, and I don’t think anything is going to change her mind because now she’s really worried.”
As Kris informs the flight team that they need to turn around to let Kylie off, she repeats ,“I’m just having a lot of anxiety.”
But in a confessional, Kendall says, “I know Kylie since the day she was born. And I’m not discrediting her panic. I don’t know why she does this. But it’s also a part of a pattern for her. She’s done this many, many, many times.”
As Kylie hugs Kris and departs the plane, Kendall’s voiceover continues.
“I think she just thinks she can get away with whatever.”
And once Kylie is off the plane and on her way home, Kim shares her opinion of the encounter.
“It’s always like this. It’s always f—ing like this,” Kim, 43, says.
Kendall agrees, saying, “The fact that she always gets out of this s—t is very f—ing annoying.”
Kris was more measured in her response, saying, “I know the other girls are frustrated, but it’s one of my babies. Of course I’m going to understand and not get mad at her. I don’t want her to feel anxious.”
Kris calls Kylie to prompt her to come back, asking Kendall to talk to her.
However, Kendall throws up her hands, saying, “I’m the wrong one.”
Khloé chimes in, saying, “Why don’t you just hang up the phone. She’s not getting on. And let’s just move on.”
The conversation turns to the girls deciding they will split the contents of Kylie’s luggage, with Khloé calling out, “I hope you brought cute s—t!”
