Keeping Up With The Kardashians is back for the follow-up episodes of season 18. Every reality TV fan's favourite family is returning to screens this September. We recap on what happened in the first half of season 18 and explore what to expect from the new KUWTK episodes.

When we last encountered the Kardashian-Jenner clan, tensions were running high between Kim and Kourtney, eventually resulting in a giant (physical) fight between the siblings. But after a quick trip to Armenia to baptise their kids, they manage to settle things with Kourtney making the bold decision to take a step back from filming the show. Elsewhere, Kim helps Scott out with public speaking; Kris tries to set Khloe up on some dates; Kylie has laser eye surgery; and Kim bails on hosting the family's annual Christmas Eve party. So basically, drama all round.
