[Scene: A beautifully decorated therapy office. Dr. Richard Nygard, a middle-aged therapist with a slightly sarcastic demeanor, sits behind his desk. The Kardashian family, including Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian, are seated on a plush couch in front of him. The air is tense, and an awkward silence hangs in the room.]

Dr. Nygard: Good afternoon, Kardashians. Thank you for being here today. Let's begin our session. Kris, how are you feeling about the recent confrontation with Khloé regarding your past affair?

Kris: Well, it's just so frustrating, Dr. Nygard. I mean, I wasn't expecting her to bring up Todd Waterman and my affair during the discussion about Tristan's infidelity.

Khloé: How can she talk about loyalty and trust when she cheated on her ex-husband?

Kim: Yeah, Mom, it's a little hypocritical, don't you think?

Kris: Well, you know what? At least I had a successful affair. Todd Waterman is now an Emmy-nominated animator and television director.

Khloé: That doesn't excuse your behavior, Mom. You were married to someone else when you started that affair!

Kris: Well, I was underappreciated and ignored in my marriage to Robert!

Kourtney: Ugh, Kris, can we please focus on the issue at hand? This is about your involvement in our dating lives, not your past affairs.

Dr. Nygard: Thank you, Kourtney, for bringing us back on track. Kris, how do you feel about your role as both a parent and a manager to your children?

Kris: It's tough, Dr. Nygard. I want what's best for my kids, and I've worked hard to ensure they have successful careers. Sometimes the lines get blurred, and it affects our relationships.

Khloé: Blurred lines? More like a tangled web of control and manipulation. You're always meddling in our dating lives, Mom.

Kris: I just want you to make better choices, Khloé. Is that too much to ask?

Kim: Seriously, Kris? Remember when you demanded loyalty from us after Caitlyn's transition? Talk about hypocrisy.

Kris: Well, at least I have a good relationship with Khloé. We even built our homes next to each other!

Kourtney: Yeah, because that's totally healthy and not at all co-dependent.

Dr. Nygard: Let's try to remain focused, Kardashians. Kris, you also financially supported Rob when his income dropped. How has that affected your relationship with him?

Kris: Rob is my son, and I want to support him however I can. It's important to me. Plus, I have a special bond with my granddaughter, Dream.

Kim: Well, you seem to support him more than you support us, sometimes.

Khloé: Yeah, where's our financial support, Mom?

Kris: It's not about playing favorites, girls. I just want what's best for all of you.

Dr. Nygard: Moving on, let's discuss the strained relationship between Kris and Caitlyn. How are things progressing?

Kris: Oh, you mean the rift that Caitlyn created with her memoir?

Kim: Yeah, she really threw you under the bus, Mom.

Kourtney: And it wasn't just you. She created tension within the entire family.

Khloé: Except for Kendall and Kylie, of course. They're still close with Caitlyn.

Kris: Well, at least we can all come together for the sake of our daughters.

Kourtney: Yeah, for a brief moment at Kylie's birthday party. That was real harmonious.

Kim: That prank with "The Bachelorette" brought us closer together, though.

Khloé: I can't believe I fell for it. I mean, going on a dating show? Me? Please.

Dr. Nygard: It's good to see some humor and lightheartedness in the midst of all the tension. Now, let's explore how we can navigate through these complexities moving forward.
