The latest episode of The Kardashians delivered an emotional twist that fans didn’t see coming. In the October 30 episode, Kris Jenner surprised her children by inviting her ex, Caitlyn Jenner, to join the family for one final dinner at their Hidden Hills estate, the home they shared for 15 years. As the family came together to bid farewell to the property, Kris unveiled the surprise in her signature heartfelt way. “Your Dad and I bought this house many years ago, and I think one person isn’t here that should be here to say goodbye with us to this house,” she said as the family stood hand in hand. “It wouldn’t be the same without Caitlyn.” Moments later, Caitlyn walked through the door, leaving the entire family shocked. Caitlyn Jenner’s Emotional Return To The Kardashians The moment marked Caitlyn’s first appearance on the Hulu series since its 2022 debut, following the conclusion of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Her unexpected arrival immediately shifted the mood of the evening. Kris continued, explaining, “I was just saying, we bought this house for Kendall and Kylie and all the kids to grow up in, and we were so excited to make so many special memories.” “That is so true,” Caitlyn agreed, reflecting on the home that had seen years of laughter, chaos and family milestones. The scene was particularly poignant given Caitlyn’s earlier comments in 2022, when she expressed disappointment about not being included in the new series, saying that it was “unfortunate to not be given the opportunity to continue with the show,” though she added she was “happy” for her family’s success.

It wasn’t just my house, it was our house.” Reactions From Kendall, Kylie, Rest Of The Family Caitlyn’s arrival took everyone by surprise. Even Kendall and Kylie were unaware of Kris’s plan. The atmosphere was a blend of shock and nostalgia as Caitlyn paused briefly before joining the family at the dining table. At one point, she lightened the mood with a touch of humour, joking that she had bought the $13.5 million home, which Kris had put up for sale earlier this year. Laughter filled the room until Caitlyn admitted she was joking, quipping that she “couldn’t afford the house.” In her confessional, Kendall reflected on her feelings. “I definitely wasn’t expecting my dad to be here, just knowing the relationship that my mom has with my dad, not that it’s bad, it’s just distant. My mom’s had a hard time inviting my dad to some of our family gatherings in the past, so it makes me happy that Kylie and I didn’t have to ask for my dad to be invited and that my mom just thought it was a good idea.” Kendall admitted that her relationship with Caitlyn is “good” but complex. “I have to compartmentalise my relationship with my dad because even though we have a good relationship, I can get frustrated with her with certain things cause we just have completely different views on things. But, other than that, I always wanna include her. I know she doesn’t have a lot outside of her family, and I know that she gets lonely. At the end of the day, it’s really nice to have her around.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Kardashians (@kardashianshulu) Kris Jenner’s Growth And Reconciliation Praised By Khloe During dinner, the family, including Khloe, Rob and Corey Gamble, shared light-hearted moments, even chatting about California’s wildfires. Caitlyn mentioned she would never abandon her Malibu home, no matter the danger, declaring she’d defend it herself. Kris laughed, saying she wasn’t the least bit surprised. Khloe later applauded her mom for the maturity and healing she’s shown in recent years. “They didn’t have a good relationship for years after their divorce. Things were said. Weaponising some situations to make my mom look a way that just wasn’t truthful. And the fact that my mom can put all of that behind her, or on pause for a second, it’s really, really big of her.” Farewell Filled With Memories And Healing After dinner, the entire Kardashian-Jenner family gathered for one final photo in the home’s grand entryway. Caitlyn joined the group shot, though Kendall playfully reminded her to “put her phone away and smile.” The moment included several members of the next generation, such as Reign, Saint, True, Chicago, Dream, Psalm and Rocky, marking a multigenerational goodbye. As the evening came to a close, Caitlyn hugged her daughters Kendall and Kylie before saying goodbye to Kim and Kris. The two exes shared a warm embrace, with Kris thanking her for coming. “It was a really great surprise for the kids,” Kris told her. Caitlyn smiled and joked, “You owe me one! No, just kidding.” In her final confessional, Kris Jenner expressed how emotional the evening had been for her, saying she felt grateful that the whole family had come together to say goodbye to a house filled with so much love, joy and shared memories. She acknowledged that the journey had been long and meaningful, adding that it felt right to have Caitlyn there since it had been her home as well.
