In one scene, Kim was getting ready for the Hulu series' red carpet premiere when she was grilled by producers about her "plus one."
"Is anyone coming to the premiere with you? Who's your plus one?" a producer asked the TV star while her glam squad prepared her for the event.
With her hair in curlers, Kim glared at the producer, hesitating to answer the question.
"Pete [Davidson] is actually my plus one, and I'm excited," she eventually responded.
The producer continued to press for more details, asking Kim: "Is this your first red carpet [appearance] with him?"
The SKIMS founder quickly clarified: "We're not doing the red carpet."
The producer was shocked by Kim's admission and questioned her decision.
The Hulu personality explained that she was walking the red carpet with her famous family, without Pete, 28, because the show was "her thing."

"This is like my thing, so he's just gonna support," the 42-year-old added.
In a confessional interview, Kim elaborated, "When the camera's up for him, it's like a skit or a role. It's not what he does.
"I'm obviously gonna talk about what goes on in my life, and he's a part of that. But I also respect that this is my job, and this isn't his job, so you might get a glimpse here and there, but it's just, it is what it is," she said.
Back in the glam chair, Kim's conversation with the producer was interrupted by Pete's "groomer," who arrived to assist the comedian with his look for the evening.
WHERE'S PETE?
Fans were furious over the Saturday Night Live star's omission from the episode since he was in the other room while cameras were rolling.
One person bashed the show, tweeting: "Wow #Kardashians ya'll did a good job of cutting Pete out."
Another ranted: "The new #Kardashians show is going downhill for me. They used to be great TV because they kept it real, said if they were gonna do reality TV, they were gonna show it all & now it's just a slew of their various business ventures.
"They cut out Pete, Astroworld, Kanye [West] co-parenting, Scott [Disick]?"
More viewers had the same thought, voicing their opinions in an online thread.
"And, of course, Pete got cut completely out of the thing. This show sucks," one said.
"All I wanted to see was Kim and Pete eating pizza after the premiere," another wrote.
"Are they editing Pete out of scenes? I remember Pete going to the premiere. I would have expected him to be in at least Kim's red carpet scenes," a third questioned.
"They lost all Pete content," complained a fourth.
"Did Kim say that Pete was her plus one, but then we never see him at the party?" one more asked.
SHOCKING ADMISSION
Kim and Pete ended their nine-month-long relationship in August, but things were hot and heavy between the pair during filming.
However, despite frequent mentions of their relationship, the SNL funnyman has yet to appear in the series.
In an earlier episode, Kim shared a story about an intimate night she and Pete had with her 88-year-old grandmother, Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell.
"Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace just talking for hours," Kim told her grandmother.
"And I was like, ‘my grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace.’ So we had sex in front of the fireplace - in honor of you!"
MJ took the confession in stride, only pausing to ponder if the young couple was possibly referring to the fireplace in the hotel lobby.
"Not in the lobby!" Kim laughingly clapped back.
She then realized: "I know that’s creepy to think about your grandma before you have sex.”
MJ was a good sport and reminded her granddaughter that she "was younger once too."
THE BREAKUP
Following Kim and Pete's breakup, a source told that the pair's 13-year age difference was the reason for the relationship's demise.
“Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the source told the outlet.
“Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.
"But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”
The source added that The Kardashians star was “totally exhausted by this relationship and other things going on in her life.”
