The family accepts ANOTHER free trip. This time from a resort in Hawaii (who is obviously hoping to cash in on the publicity). Kate states early on, "When they INVITED us to come, they didn't have to ask me twice!" In other words, she is on a free trip like a moth to flames. They decide it would be a good "opportunity" to renew their vows - because they originally wanted to get married in Hawaii. Kate says they didn't the first time "because family members either couldn't or WOULDN'T come". Translation - she is still holding a grudge for their ruining her 1st wedding.
When they tell the kids about the trip and renewing their vows, they pop in their original wedding video for the kids to watch. Kate looks NOTHING like she used to, Her whole countenance, body language and demeanor has changed. She actually looked sweet and kind in the wedding video. WHAT HAPPENED?! Kate explains to the kids that are renewing their vows because "mommy and daddy are going to stay together forever". Watch Jon's body language on the interview couch - he looks like he would rather be ANYWHERE but beside this woman. Kate says when she used to think of vow renewal, she always thought only OLD people renewed their vows and was some old "stuffily (where did she get that word?) thing to do that was boring, and ANNOYING (YES SHE USED THAT WORD)." I wonder what members of her or Jon's family were highly insulted if it was THEIR ceremony she was referring to. Does this woman EVER THINK BEFORE SHE SPEAKS?! But of course, HER CEREMONY will be anything but boring for the people whose arms they twist to attend (since they have alienated most of the family and have NO close friends).
The parents discuss who they like to sit beside on the plane ride. They both fight over Joel because he travels so well. Then Kate says nobody wants to sit beside Alexis because she has to pee every 5 minutes and has a meltdown before she falls asleep. Great way of insulting your child in front of a national audience. These kids have no privacy or secrets.
Kate is INVITED to Kleinfelds (location of SAY YES TO THE DRESS reality show) in New York City to choose her dress. She picks out a "pleaty, flowy thing" (again, her words).
Kate gives the twins pedicure at home and Mady whines and complains the whole time, which Kate is quick to point out to the camera. Kate shames her by saying "Boy, if MY mom would've given ME a pedicure I would have sat for 4 hours if i had to." I'm actually shocked Kate lowered herself off her pedestal long enough to do something unselfish for the kids. I'm surprised they didn't line up some spa to provide FREE treatments for the whole family.
Jon and Alexis are up at 4am the day they leave for Hawaii. They leave for the airport at 5:30 am with 9 pieces of luggage. Jenny (paid help - since they have no friends or family left who will help) travels with the family to help out. The kids went to bed the night before with their clothes on for the trip to help ease the morning routine. A private bus comes to pick them up. Jon calls Joel a traitor for wanting to sit next to Kate. Then they argue on the interview couch over who bribed who. Kate chastises Jon, saying "Don't make it hard for him to choose, that's mean". It's okay for HER to manipulate Joel, but its mean when Jon does it.
The trip is to be continued with the next episode, LEGOS AND SAFARIS.
