Yet more legal trouble...

According to TMZ, the family are suing the person behind a product behind KardashianLash (a kind of eyelash-growing ungent) and the person behind the company -- named Sarah Ehrlich -- just filed a petition to trademark the name.
They spoke ro Ms. Ehrlich -- who explained that she wanted KardashianLash to help raise money to send Honduran orphans to cosmetology school so didn't think the Kardashians would mind.

But despite the worthy cause, they do and the website reports that the girls are planning to fight her petition, claiming it's a blatant rip-off of their trademark.

She then calls the girls in the car, and continues to vent on speaker-phone... prompting her sisters to say she is acting out of character.
'Think she's just p***ed as she's married to a barking dog,' Khloe quips to Kourtney's guffaws.

Meanwhile Kim arrives in Minnesota and initially the reunion is sweet.
But Kris said he missed his wife but not the chaos of their New York living arrangement and Kim admits she is hurt that he is so comfortable with sleeping separately.
And the romantic tone is somewhat sullied when Kris tells Kim he can tell she had been travelling because her armpits smelled of: 'Uncooked fish and hot garbage.'
Back in the Hamptons, and Scott and Kourtney are offered some alone time by Aunty Khloe but Kourtney remains frosty to Scott.
'All she cares about is her role as a mom, but she has to remember that she has another boy, and that's me,' Scott complains.

Kim attempts to be domestic, and cooks a homecooked meal after Kris 'manfully' brings home the groceries.
'Is this what it feels like to be actually married,' Kris says happily.

He attempts to sell Minnesota and says he misses the lake, Kim begs him to compromise but he says he can't afford to fly back and forth.'
But there is a hint of suspicion as Kris asks Kim who 'put her up to' the trip and domesticity.
Kim cuts her finger and Kris says: 'You really haven't been in the kitchen for a while.'
He also mentions that Khloe left Miami for Lamar and says: 'It's great you have a role model like that.'
Khloe opens up about Kim in the Hamptons: 'I don't want the things she wants in life, I don't compete with her, she's in her own lane.'

Busy parent: Scott feels Kourtney only has time for their son and not for him

Kim finally gets the sleep she's been craving and decides to confront Kris, she tells him it's his 'off season' and he should be living with her, but Kris blames distractions.
Kim yells: 'You have to meet me halfway,' as Kris lolls on the sofa chanting: 'You don't want me to resent you baby, do you?'
She then storms off saying she'll skype him to 'say goodbye.'
Later they share a tender moment, and Kim tells Kris: 'We're not going to have a successful marriage if we live in separate states,' which combined with tears prompts Kris to act.
