With a raised eyebrow from Mickey, Bonnie explains that she wouldn't have donated any money to the foundation except that she wanted to impress Mickey. She says she isn't good or honest and leaves Mickey to ponder her statement.

Later that night, Julie stops by Mickey's house to drop of his briefcase. When she hears Mickey moaning, she rushes in to check on him. Unfortunately for all involved, Julie finds Bonnie bouncing naked in bed with a pajama clad Mickey. Julie wishes "she was dead!" and says, "How could you Uncle Mickey?"
