Hoarders (2009)
S04E17 Mike and Bonnie
Episode Overview
Mike's living situation has become so hazardous that a virus she caught there led to kidney failure, nearly costing her life. Her doctor strongly advised her to stay away until the place was cleaned up. Instead, Mike moved in with her sister Judy, but after months of enduring Mike's hoarding, Judy can no longer handle it and demands that she leave. Without a clean space, Mike risks being homeless. Meanwhile, Bonnie, a 46-year-old single mom with two teenage daughters, lives in a cluttered house that’s in dire need of repairs. The girls struggle with daily tasks, like washing dishes in the bathtub, and tensions rise over the mess. Bonnie fears that Child Protective Services will step in if anyone discovers their situation, so she must take action to tidy up and improve her relationship with her daughters.
