Kourtney Kardashian is wondering why her sister Kim Kardashian is going to law school now rather than when her four kids are more grown up.
During a candid conversation between the two sisters on this week’s episode of The Kardashians, Kim opens up about how much stress she’s under as she prepares to head to Paris for her robbery trial. She shares that doctors recently found an aneurysm in her brain, which she explains is likely due to stress.
“I did a prenuvo scan, and they called me today and they’re like, ‘Everything looks great. But you have an aneurysm in your brain,’ ” Kim begins the conversation. “They’re like, ‘It’s been there for like years. It was here a few years ago.’ “

Kim says she called a brain surgeon and sent over photos of her scans, who asked her to come in for imaging. But she asked if she could wait.
“And then I asked, I was like, ‘Can I wait? Cause what makes it rupture?’ And they’re like, ‘Just stress.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well I’m taking the bar exam, I’m studying 10 hours a day,’ ” Kim replies.
“Well, not to mention just all the stress in your life,” Kourtney says.
“Oh, it’s been next level,” Kim agrees. “To the point of hives.”
In a confessional, Kourtney shares how stressed she is for Kim.
“I’m definitely worried about Kim. She has so much going on between work and her four kids that I don’t want her to have an aneurysm, of course,” Kourtney admits.
Back in the scene between the two sisters, Kim tells Kourtney that she has the bar exam, the Met Ball and her robbery trial all within the next week. They then speak about how traumatizing the robbery was for Kim.
“People are like, ‘How are you so positive?’ I’m like, ‘What is the alternative? What choice do I have?’ I have four kids that depend on me. I have to be sane. They have enough in their life that affects them. Even when they didn’t ask for it,” Kim says.
“You’re doing amazing. We’re all doing the best we can,” Kourtney replies.
“It’s stressful out there with this aneurysm,” Kim says. “Can’t be stressed.”
“No stress. I think of it all the time, too. It’s the thing that I always say about you, so I’m actually just more curious. I’m not like shaming or judging or anything,” Kourtney candidly says. “But I’m like, ‘I wonder why she feels the need to go to law school and do this.’ “
“It’s fine if it’s your passion and whatever, but I’m like, isn’t there a time to do it later once your kids are more grown and they don’t need you as much?” asks Kourtney.
“I’ve already done it. I have four more months and then I’m done. Why would I stop now?” says Kim.
“I don’t mean to stop, I just was thinking about it when you’re like, ‘Okay, I just finished this show.’ Which I’m like, why now when your kids are so young?” Kourtney says.
“Everything else I agree with, and I told Brad I can’t do this other movie. I don’t wanna do another TV show. Stop it all — if I can get out of the movie, just get me out,” Kim replies. “But I’m addicted to studying and to finishing this program.”
In her own confessional, Kim says that she thinks she just looks at things differently than Kourtney. She adds that she loves that her kids get to see her go to school and that she enjoys educating herself. The SKIMS founder explains that she wouldn’t feel like herself if she weren’t learning and trying new things.
Back in the scene, Kim says that she is there for her kids, despite having to balance all of her responsibilities.
“I take the kids to school every single day, no matter what I’m doing. I’m home for dinner and I am busting my ass,” Kim says.
“Well, keep on busting, girl,” Kourtney responds.
