The mother of 8 is in North Carolina without her husband, Jon, to film an episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” with her children and bodyguard Steve Nield.

The pictures came out just a day before the next episode on the reality show airs on TLC.

Jon Gosselin has been away from the family for the past week, and was seen in northern New Jersey this weekend.
