subject: Desperate Housewives with So Little To Be Sure Of Review [print this page] On this episode we finally see Lee and Bob return, after we were almost certain that we arent going to see them again. But sadly, they didnt fully return as we got to see them briefly, and another sad thing is that their appearance was basically the best thing that happened during the episode, as it all went on a downward spiral from there.
As for some of the details of the show, we got to see Susan getting the help of Lee while cleaning and getting Mikes clothes out of her closet. And while doing so they stumble upon a box that is locked, Lee starts to tell Susan and gets her into opening the box instead of her so if it has some upsetting things, she shouldnt see it. And indeed he did, as he ran out of the house as soon as he saw something and he didnt show Susan and he refused to tell her anything about it. But of course Susan being the hard headed person she is, she kept pushing him until he had to tell her about what he found, it appeared that what he found was a checkbook concerning a bank account that Mike has made and set up while they werent married and were divorced. And that bank account had transactions that Mike was doing, as he was paying am monthly payment to some other woman. And he also saw some child doodles and drawing, and it was apparent that some baby drew this, and MJ didnt do them.
So, Julie accompanies Susan and they both go to the address that was on the box, and much to their surprise, he didnt have a daughter or was having a relationship with another woman, but they found out that in fact he had a sister that was suffering from a bad case of autism. And that she lives in a group home and that he used to pay her a visit each Monday and send her money month by month. Julie also stumbles upon some letters that Mike got from his mother that explains this. Because his mother didnt think it was right and convenient for her to raise up a kid who has special needs, so she decided to give her up and put her in a group home. And he himself didnt know anything about his sister until 8 years ago, and out of shame, his mother told him not to mention any of his to Susan.
After knowing all of this she decides to continue sending her monthly payments and to continue Mikes visitations. And this situation helps Julie take an important decision as she was faced with the same situation that Mikes mother had to deal with, but she decides to keep the baby.
