The Kardashians Season 7 Episode 4 Recap & Review: A Hit on Kim Kardashian Exposes Fame’s Dark Edge

Season 7, episode 4 of The Kardashians landed on Hulu on November 14, 2025, and it does not ease you in. It starts messy, ramps into the bizarre (family mausoleum shopping), and then drops a legitimately chilling turn: Kim says someone threatened her life. Yes, that actually happens in this episode.

What actually goes down

• Khloe and Kourtney finally unpack their long-running group-chat mess. Kourtney calls Khloe 'too online' and judgy, Khloe points out Kourt used to be the same, and they decide the sister bond is worth more than petty back-and-forth.
• Kris and Khloe, in full glam, tour a potential family mausoleum because the clan is debating being buried together. Kourtney is emphatically out, others are undecided.
• Kris drafts Kendall for a closet purge after realizing she owns seven of the same thing. They bond, Kendall quietly upgrades her wardrobe, and Kris shows off looks inspired by Kendall.
• Kourtney joins a local protest in Calabasas over the city landfill taking debris from the Palisades Fire — ash, soil, and the remains of destroyed homes — which residents worry could be toxic. Police eventually step in and disperse the crowd.
• Kris pulls Kendall and Khloe into a meditation session to manage her emotional outbursts. They draw personality cards, Kris gets teary, and she vows to make meditation a habit.
• On a brighter note, Kim wraps her last day on the set of All's Fair, soaking up the main-character-on-set vibes and clicking with Sarah Paulson. Off-set, she is three months out from the bar exam and wants to pass on the first try.
• Then the heavy hit: Kim is told someone put a hit out on her. She spends days with police, investigators, and new safety protocols. It turns out to be a money-motivated lie, but the fear is real.
• Khloe spots a Bible their late dad Robert Kardashian once gifted to O.J. Simpson up for auction and flags it for Kim. Kim offers $15,000; the seller refuses. The whole thing leaks to the press anyway, and Kim still wants to get it back.

The jaw-dropper: Kim and the fake hit

This is the kind of reveal that makes everyone go quiet. Kim describes getting word that someone allegedly put a price on her life, then spending days dealing with law enforcement and security updates. Later, she learns it was manufactured for money. That does not undo the damage. You can feel how normalized this kind of threat has become for her, which is its own kind of bleak.

Kourtney takes it to the street

Kourtney stepping into a neighborhood protest is a gear shift from the usual family drama, and honestly, it works. The issue is specific but serious: the Calabasas Landfill accepting post-fire debris from the Palisades Fire — ash, soil, even the remains of homes — with residents worried about toxicity. Things get tense enough that police break it up. No glam filter on that.

Yes, they toured a family mausoleum

Only this family would go from a group-chat debrief to shopping for a shared final resting place. The plot is scenic and quiet; the conversation is surprisingly practical. Kourtney opts out immediately, others are still thinking about it, and Kris is very much in logistics mode. Morbid? Sure. Weirdly compelling television? Also yes.

'Absolutely not.'

That would be Kourtney on the family-burial plan. Zero hesitation.

Kris vs. her emotions (and seven identical tops)

Kris leaning on Kendall and Khloe for help is a nice pivot. She knows she has been having sudden emotional spikes, so she puts in the work: meditation, self-reflection, and even a slightly chaotic closet detox. The personality-card pull is a little woo-woo, but you can see why it gets to her, and she actually commits to doing more of it.

Kim, set life and study life

Kim wrapping All's Fair is breezy TV — she is locked in, has real chemistry with Sarah Paulson, and clearly loves the set routine. Then she swings straight into bar prep mode. The test is three months out, and she wants to clear it on the first try. The contrast between 'actor energy' and 'law student brain' is a fun split-screen.

The O.J. Bible detour

This one is a strange artifact story with emotional weight: a Bible Robert Kardashian once gave O.J. Simpson surfaces at auction. Khloe flags it, Kim tries to buy it for $15,000, the seller declines, and then somehow the attempt leaks to the media. Kim still wants it back. You get why — it is a direct line to their dad.

Does the episode deliver?

Yeah. It is the show's sweet spot: glossy chaos with a few real-life gut punches. The mausoleum debate is unexpectedly candid, Kourtney's protest is grounded, and Kim's threat revelation is a cold reminder of what fame can cost. For a series seven seasons deep on Hulu — and sitting at a 4.5/10 on IMDb — this is a surprisingly engaging hour.
