The Biermanns start the process of Kroy adopting Brielle and Ariana and the timing couldn't be better –- Brielle is doing poorly at school and needs a parent who can dole out more discipline than Kim is able to impart on her daughters. Brielle gets a tutor to try to get her grades up, but when Kim announces that she wants to buy her a car, Kroy intervenes –- Brielle still hasn't done enough to deserve one. Kim realizes that giving her daughters a father comes at a price -– she has to give up some of the decision-making power she's had as a single parent.

While the Biermanns are still dealing with Karen's tell-all book and lawsuit, the ultimate betrayal comes from an unexpected source, just days before Thanksgiving. Trying to salvage what's left of the holiday, Kim and the girls make a Thanksgiving feast…fresh out of the box!

It's been less than a year since Kim and Kroy had their youngest child, but they're ready to expand the family. This time, however, they're going to plan and there's a lot to consider -– conceiving around Kroy's football schedule, finding the right form of birth control until the time is right, and ensuring a baby girl. But as Kim plans on becoming a mom for the fifth time, she still has to deal with her own mom who's suing her for visitation of Kim's daughters. First step mediation, and with Kroy working that day, Kim has no choice but to deal with her parents on her own!
