Kris Jenner has some explaining to do. The momager is notably Mia in this clip from Sunday's new Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and it appears her absence is not without reason. With Khloe Kardashian at a loss as to why her mother has been "literally avoiding" her for days, she turns to Scott Disick for information during a visit to the Flip It Like Disick star's Hidden Hills home. "It's so weird. I've been looking for mom forever," she tells the three-time dad, who has some relevant intel to share. "She was here yesterday," he replies, going on to say they spent the afternoon home goods shopping in Westwood. That in itself seems like confirmation Khloe isn't...

This 22,000-square-foot oasis proffers every luxury Scott Disick and Sofia Richie can imagine...and then some! The happy couple goes house shopping in this clip from Sunday's Flip It Like Disick season finale, and it's entirely safe to say both parties are impressed. After a conversation with real estate agent Cooper about putting his current Hidden Hills home on the market led to a subsequent conversation with Sofia about potentially switching residences (to a place she half-joked would hopefully feel like less of a "bachelor pad"), Scott agreed to check out one of the agent's current listings. Which is how the Lord and his lady ended up on this wildly scenic terrace in the heart of Malibu. "I...

Is Scott Disick moving to Malibu? In this clip from Sunday's season finale of Flip It Like Disick, the father of three contemplates leaving his Hidden Hills abode for a residence in the beach-side city. Not to mention, a move allows for Disick to build a home with girlfriend Sofia Richie. "When I moved in, the house did not look like that," Lionel Richie's daughter notes while looking at real estate shots of Disick's home. "It looked like a bachelor pad." Of course, Disick doesn't disagree with his lady love, even commenting that she's "calmed me down and made me a better man." Thus, the reality star turned house flipper floats the move to Malibu by the 21-year-old...

Real estate is a risky business. But does that necessarily mean Scott Disick should quit while he's ahead? The home renovation expert and his team aren't seeing eye-to-eye in this exclusive clip from Sunday's new Flip It Like Disick, which opens in the aftermath of last week's $220,000 drainage nightmare at the group's Jed Smith property. Scott has taken a few days to "cool down" since news of the surprise expense was first brought to his attention, and at the start of the new clip, it appears he's decided to take a step back from the project altogether. "I want to get rid of Jed Smith as is," he tells Willa Ford, Miki Mor and Benny Luciano during a meeting. And despite the...

It's safe to say that Scott Disick is not a fan of Corey Gamble's parenting advice. In this clip from Sunday's all-new Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the Flip It Like Disick star explodes at Kris Jenner's boyfriend after the latter suggests physical punishment for a misbehaving Penelope Disick. The drama all starts when Kourtney Kardashian reveals her nanny quit after her middle child with Scott "scratched her face." "You guys, I don't have a nanny anymore. She said P was really upset. She was putting her in the car and Penelope scratched her face," the Poosh.com founder explains over dinner. "But, P can be out of control. I think she almost blacks out and does these...

The playhouse Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick designed for their kids might be your new dream home. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star gave a tour of the playful pad for a new Architectural Digest video released Thursday. "I have been talking about building a kids' playhouse since Mason was super young," the reality TV star said, referencing her eldest child. While the reality star spent years searching blogs for design inspiration and putting together a folder of her favorite ideas, she "couldn't decide on the right style and the right one."

In this clip from Sunday's all-new Flip It Like Disick, the reality star turned house flipper gives the Good American mogul advice on how she should remodel her pool. "This house is a paradise, but the pool…it's outdated," Lord Disick remarks to True Thompson's mom. "I mean, it's not as bad as a grotto, but some of it has to go."

What Penelope Disick wants, Penelope Disick gets. On Sunday's all-new Flip It Like Disick, Scott Disick enlisted the help of interior designer Willa Ford for a project for his daughter. According to the E! personality, his middle child with Kourtney Kardashian felt her room paled in comparison to older brother Mason Disick's bedroom. Thus, Disick decided it was time to give the bedroom a much needed upgrade. "Obviously, the most special girl in the world to me is my little daughter Penelope," the father of three explained in a confessional. "And because she goes back-and-forth to her mom Kourtney's house, because we co-parent, I want Penelope to be as comfortable at my house as she is...

Continuing, he tells Scott, "The price we got is like $220,000." "A quarter million for a drainage?!" the Talentless founder exclaims, very obviously shocked, frustrated and a little bit confused about the details of this particular quota.

On Sunday's all-new episode of Flip It Like Disick, fans will witness Ford assisting in the redesign of Scott Disick's daughter's room.

"What better place than this for me to haggle?" Scott asks, noting "that's what [he's] best at." Plus, he's seen Willa and Meeshie try their hands at negotiation before.

How do you feel?" veteran assistant Lindsay Diamond inquires. "I feel younger, lighter, fresher," Lord Disick remarks as his barber Jc finishes up. "And I'm back, baby."

Without Scott Disick, French Montana's home theater would still be a "disaster." On Sunday's all-new Flip It Like Disick, the reality star turned house flipper tackled the "Unforgettable" rapper's mess of a theater room. Not only did the room feature a ceiling fan in front of the projector, but it also had "19-Sin-City" tall speakers on each side of the cinema screen. (And don't get us started on the shag carpet.) Thus, Disick suggested it was time to gut the room and redesign the space from scratch. "Alright, so the whole thing is a wreck. It's a nightmare," the father of three relayed to his friend during the walk through. "We'll have to demolish...

Or at least he shouldn't be, though there isn't much room for backpedaling when Scott Disick's trusted contractor is caught in the act at the start of this very funny clip from Sunday's new Flip It Like Disick. "What are you doing here?" Miki asks Scott with a sheepish grin. Being that it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a weekday, the real estate boss is stopping by to check in on the team's recently-flipped Malibu property, which Kozette Luciano is currently working to sell. But when he arrives, Scott is shocked (and maybe mildly amused too) to find Miki taking a dip in the jacuzzi...

"The thing is, I don't have enough rooms in my house. It's a four-bedroom house and a 16,000 square-foot-space."
