Swept up in the romance and sheer happiness leading up to the wedding, the family spends quality time together strolling through chic Parisian streets, indulging in the finest food and browsing for the ultimate wedding attire during their European rendezvous. And it's not just Kim who's feeling the fluttering of butterflies in her stomach. After a tough year, Khloé is opening her heart to the possibilities of love again.

In the season premiere, the family tries to get to the bottom of Kourtney's lack of emotions, while Khloé accepts an offer on her house but doesn't want to start packing. Plus, Kris goes out of her way to prove to Kim that she's still got it.
