M*A*S*H - The Pilot
At the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M.A.S.H) unit in Korea, two army doctors by the names of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre receive some exciting news in the mail. Their Korean house boy, Ho-John got accepted into Hawkeye's old college. Hawkeye and Trapper decide to hold a party filled with music, dancing, and alcohol to raise money for Ho-John's plane trip to the U.S. They achieve this by raffling off a weekend pass with a nurse, Lieutenant Dish for R&R in Tokyo.
To Market, to Market
The hijacking of the 4077th's hydrocortizone delivery forces Hawkeye and Trapper to use the black market. They get one businessman interested in Col. Blake's antique oak desk and trade it to get some of the drug. Margaret and Frank become suspicious about their plotting, and about the Koreans who come to check out the desk. Henry Blake, very fond of his desk, and Maj. Burns watches it get hoisted away by helicopter.
Requiem for a Lightweight
Trapper and Hawkeye seek to keep a new nurse from being transferred by Hot Lips, and they vie for her affection. Henry Blake, challenged by another commander to a boxing tournament, makes Trapper fight a big, intimidating soldier in exchange for keeping the nurse at the 4077th. Hawkeye and Ugly John employ the use of a glove soaked with ether to insure Trapper's victory, which impresses the nurse. Margaret and Frank's attempts to unfix the match collapses, as they are flattened by the unconscious boxer!
Chief Surgeon Who?
Frank Burns complains about Hawkeye Pierce's disrespect...and Henry appoints Hawkeye chief surgeon, to Burns's shock. The rest of the 4077th "coronates" Hawk while Frank and Hot Lips complain to General Barker. The General's visit provides him with a view of life at the 4077th M*A*S*H unit: camp hijinks, a poker game, and a surgery session. This shows him M*A*S*H has fun but gets the job done.
The Moose
A GI arrives in camp with a "moose"--a Korean female slave!--who was bought from her family for $500. Trapper, Radar, and an incensed Hawkeye conspire to cheat at poker to win her away from the GI. They attempt to give her back but discover that her family, in the person of her wiseacre brother, will resell her. The three try a "Pygmalion" effort to give her self-respect.
Yankee Doodle Doctor
The 4077th is designated as the setting for the making of an army film on Mobile Army Surgical Hospital units. Hawkeye is chosen as the star while Margaret and Frank compose a screenplay. The Eye Of The Hawk objects to the piece of propoganda that filmmaker Lt. Bricker is producing and, having exposed the original film, reshoots a new one his way, starring himself as Groucho Marx-ish Yankee Doodle Doctor, and poking fun at glorifying doctors while concluding with a rather serious speech about the hell of war.
Bananas, Crackers and Nuts
A barrage of heavy casualties leave an exhausted Hawkeye with an insatiable yen for some R&R in Tokyo. His attempts to get Frank to sign a pass with insanity only result in Frank and Hot Lips ordering a psychiatric examination. The Eye Of The Hawk continues his act by telling Capt. Sherman, the psychiatrist, he's in love with Maj. Burns. Sherman is ready to commit him until Hawk and Trap set him up to make a pass at Maj. Houlihan and have him discredited. At the end Capts. Pierce and MacIntyre are all set to go, until they are interrupted by another barrage of heavy casualties.
Cowboy
John Hodges, a chopper pilot referred to as The Cowboy because of his gun holster belt and cowboy hat, has been hit in the shoulder, and arrives at the 4077th. He is expecting a letter--he's worried his wife Jean at home is leaving him for another man ("She's probably off with some rodeo rider; she's a sucker for a 10-gallon hat!"). He wants to go home, but Henry refuses, stating Cowboy's wound isn't serious enough to merit a stateside ticket. Bad luck then follows Henry Blake like the seat of his pants: he gets shot at while golfing, his tent gets flattened by a driverless jeep, and the latrine explodes while he's inside. The Cowboy offers to fly Henry to Seoul and then threatens to shove him out! The letter finally arives for Cowboy, assuring he is loved. Hawkeye and Trapper uses the radio to convince The Cowboy to spare Henry's life and come down, at which they succeed.
Henry, Please Come Home
Henry receives a citation for the camp achieving the best efficiency rating, and then General Hammond reassigns him to Tokyo. Frank then changes the camp to be more military, and he confiscates Hawkeye's and Trapper's still. They use forged passes to go to Tokyo to convince Henry to come back and end up pretending Radar is sick.
I Hate A Mystery
A rash of thefts breaks out in the camp. Missing pieces include Frank's silver picture frame, Margaret's hair brush, and Trapper's watch. The camp is searched and everything is found in Hawkeye's locker. Everyone thinks he did it. Hawkeye manages to announce to the camp that the items will be dusted for prints to identify the real thief, and catches Ho Jon. He needed money to bring his family from the North, and to bribe border guards.
Germ Warfare
Hawkeye moves a wounded North Korean soldier into The Swamp, rather than let him be shipped out before he's stable. During the night he and Trapper play Dracula, and siphon off a pint of Frank's blood. The soldier then contracts hepatitis, so they have to test Frank without him knowing, and have to keep him away from Margaret and the patients.
Dear Dad
Hawkeye writes home, describing Christmas in Korea: Radar ships a jeep home, a piece at a time; Henry gives the monthly lecture on sex, with the aid of figure A and figure B; Trapper helps deliver a calf; Klinger and Frank get into a fight, but Father Mulcahy smoothes things over; Hawkeye and Trapper sabotage Margaret's tent; Hawkeye flies to the front line dressed as Santa, to help a wounded soldier.
Edwina
The nurses go to extremes lengths to find a date for Nurse Eddie - they won't go out with anyone until Eddie gets a date. The men draw straws, and Hawkeye is the big loser, especially after Eddie nearly kills him in a scene resembling teenage "mating" rituals.
Love Story
Radar gets a Dear John recording from home. Hawkeye and Trapper try to set him up with a date, but fail. Radar is taken by a new nurse at the camp and she is into poetry and music, so they coach him. Margaret wants to stop the relationship, so Hawkeye and Trapper get between her and Frank until she relents. Radar's "Ahhhh, Bach!" and "That's highly significant," quotes win him the girl.
Tuttle
Hawkeye creates a fake doctor, Captain Jonathan S. Tuttle, to give supplies to the local orphans. Henry wants Tuttle to be officer of the day, so Hawkeye creates a fake personnel file, and all his back pay is given to the orphanage. When General Clayton wants to reward his generosity, Hawkeye is forced to invent a story about Tuttle jumping from a chopper without his parachute! Of course, Trapper's new friend, Captain Murdoch, obtained the fake dog tags and parachute...!
The Ringbanger
Hawkeye and Trapper do an operation on Col. Buzz Brighton" (Leslie Nielson), who Margaret breathlessly proclaims "I saw his picture in Star's and Stripes." The two are trying to remove a bullet from his leg. After removing the bullet and discovering who he is, Hawkeye and Trapper observe that the local anastetic used probably wasn't their best choice, and invite Colonel Brighton back to the swamp for a little home made painkillers. He accepts, and when he stops by later, Trapper and Hawkeye decide it would be in his best interest if he didn't head back out to the front line - "at least not right now" they tell themselves. So, in typical Hawkeye and Pierce fashion, they pull a great number of pratical jokes to convince Buzz that he needs to stay, including telling him that Henry is a boozer. They also managed to slip in that Frank showed up to an air raid in High Heels - which have nicley been planted next to his things when Buzz stops by later. Due to telling Radar about the jokes, they have also arranged for Radar to deliver a white bra, a white slip and a black lacy top to Frank as his laundry. Hawkeye and Trapper get Henry nice and drunk at the same time that Margaret and Frank are in Buzz's tent - which succeeds in doing nothing more than rattling Buzz's cage. Which, oddly enough, is exactly what Trapper and Hawkeye wanted them to do. Once Henry is too drunk to know what is going on, Trapper, Hawkeye, Radar, and Henry head off to Buzz's tent - with Buzz's discharge orders firmly in tow, just awaiting a signature from Henry. Convinced they're doing the right thing, and with Henry too drunk to know the difference, Buzz's walking papers get signed, and Buzz is sent on his way to the states - with little enthuasiam from Buzz.
Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
Frank throws his back out whilst spending the evening with Margaret, and ends up in traction. He promptly applies for the Purple Heart, having been 'technically' wounded at a frontline unit. Tommy Gillis, an old friend of Hawkeye's, is writing a book about the war, and pays him a visit. Later, Tommy is brought into the camp, seriously wounded, and Hawkeye can't save him. A 15-year-old kid is in the hospital to have his appendix out. He joined up to be a hero back home, but Hawkeye has him sent home, giving him Frank's purple heart.
Dear Dad, Again
Once again, Hawkeye writes home to his father, telling him of the latest gossip: the camp gets a new surgeon, who turns out to be a fake; Hawkeye bets he can walk into the mess tent naked for lunch, and no one will notice; Radar cheats on his final exam from the High School diploma company; Margaret rejects Franks advances and he gets drunk late into the night; the camp have a no talent night.
The Long-John Flap
The camp suffers from the severe cold, except for Hawkeye who has received some long john's from his father. They get passed around from person to person, as a gift, a gambling stake, a trade, a bribe, stolen, given up to Father Mulcahy, who gives them to Henry, who returns them to Hawkeye as thanks for taking out his appendix.
The Army-Navy Game
The camp tunes into the Army/Navy football game, only to be shelled and have an unexploded bomb land in the middle of the compound. They ring around trying to identify the bomb, and the camp prepares for the worst. Hawkeye and Trapper are left the task of following instructions to disarm the bomb, which turns out to be full of propaganda leaflets from the CIA.
Sticky Wicket
Hawkeye and Frank argue over Frank's surgical ability. Hawkeye performs a difficult operation and the patient does not recover, as he should. Hawkeye begins to doubt his ability and moves out of The Swamp. He decides to open up his patients again, and discovers a nick in the colon that even Frank admits anyone could have missed.
Major Fred C. Dobbs
As usual Frank's normal drone of verbal abuse upsets Ginger, so Hawkeye puts his arm in a cast while he is asleep. Frank puts in for a transfer, and after a broadcast goes out of Frank telling Margaret he's leaving, she decides to leave as well. As a result, Col. Blake puts both Hawk and Trap on double post-op duty until he finds replacements for Majs. Burns and Houlihan. Unwilling to lose their two favorite patsies, and to be worn to a frazzle from doing 2 shifts in O/R, Hawkeye and Trapper hatch a scheme to prevent Frank and Hot Lips from leaving. That night, Hawkeye and Trapper pretend they have found gold, letting Frank overhear them. Frank then withdraws his request when he thinks he's found gold himself, although the joke is on him when he finds, amongst other things, a gilded jeep!
Cease-Fire
General Clayton calls so say that a ceasefire is to be declared. The camp celebrates, Klinger gives away his dresses and locals start to take pieces of the camp. But Trapper does not believe it. Hawkeye claims he is married to avoid promises he made to several nurses. The party to celebrate the cease-fire, which never really took place, is interrupted by incoming wounds.
Showtime
Captain Kaplan is to be shipped home, but becomes paranoid that something will happen to him before he leaves. He takes the wheel of the jeep to drive to Kimpo himself, but crashes and ends up in plaster. An entertainer, Jackie Flash, visits the camp to entertain the troops.
Divided We Stand
Brought on by Frank and Margaret's negative reports, General Clayton assigns a psychiatrist, Captain Hildebrand, to examine the 4077th M*A*S*H unit, to see if it should be disbanded. Henry tells them to be on their best behavior, or else they will be split up. But the 4077th soon begins to act in their traditional, insane ways: the shrink experiences Max Klinger, watches the hijinks of Hawkeye and Trapper John, and witnesses the trysts of Frank and Hot Lips. While Hildebrand confronts the unit on its behaviour, choppers bearing wounded begin to arrive and everyone heads for the OR. The onslaught of casualties shows the 4077th's true side.
5 O'Clock Charlie
An inept North Korean pilot, known as "5 O'Clock Charlie", makes his daily attempt to bomb the ammo dump. Frank puts in a request for an anti-aircraft gun, which is granted when Charlie hits General Clayton's jeep. Frank takes charge of the gun, while Hawkeye and Trapper are determined to prevent him using it, by getting rid of the ammo dump. Frank misses Charlie and destroys the dump.
Radar's Report
Radar writes the weekly activity report. Hawkeye operates on a wounded prisoner who grabs a scalpel and attacks the doctors. Frank wants Klinger thrown out on a section 8,so Henry calls in a psychiatrist, Major Freedman. Hawkeye is attracted to a new nurse but thinks she is married. Trapper loses a patient who developed complications during the O.R. fracas with the wounded soldier.
For the Good of the Outfit
Hawkeye and Trapper want the army to admit responsibility for the accidental bombing of a local village. They fill out a report and Major Stoner arrives to investigate, and leaves with all the evidence. When the story is released it claims that the enemy bombed the village, and the army tries to gag the doctors. But, thinking there could be a medal in it for him, Frank has also put a report together, with copies of all the evidence, including shell fragments, so the army comes clean.
Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde
Hawkeye has been in non-stop surgery for 3 straight days without sleep, and the wounded keep coming. He decides to find out who started the war, and sends a telegram to Harry S Trueman. After listening to some of Frank's rubbish about the North Koreans wanting better plumbing, he tries to send the officers' latrine to the North Koreans with an offer of peace. Trapper finally manages to sedate him. Trapper (about Hawkeye): "I guess he's just unstable. You see, he took this weird oath as a young man, never to just stand by and watch people die."
Kim
Hawkeye operates on a 5-year old Korean boy, and Radar can't find his family. Henry plans to send him to the orphanage, and the camp enjoys his company while they can. Trapper decides to adopt him after consulting his wife, and has to rescue him after he wanders into the minefield. Kim's mother turns up at the orphanage looking for him.
L.I.P.
Corporal Walker is being sent home, and he wants to marry his Korean girl so she and their baby can return with him. CID sends Lt Willis to investigate, but when he refuses Hawkeye and Trapper frame him. Hawkeye is upset that a nurse he was pursuing does not approve of the marriage between "a gook" and "one of us".
The Trial of Henry Blake
Majors Houlihan and Burns challenge Colonel Blake's fitness to command, and put Hawkeye and trapper under arrest so that they can't help him. Fortunately for Henry, they escape, and with the aid of Meg Cratty come to the rescue.
Dear Dad... Three
Once more Hawkeye writes home to his father: the doctors operate on a soldier with a grenade shot into his body; Hawkeye and Trapper colour the skin of a racist patient, who demanded the right colour blood, while he is asleep; Henry gets a movie of his daughters birthday from home; the officers hold the monthly staff meeting.
The Sniper
A lone sniper has the 4077th pinned down - including Radar and Henry in the shower. The poor boy thinks he's firing on McArthur's headquarters, and a chopper finally comes by and wounds him with gunfire from above, ending the siege. Hawkeye walks out to into the bush to tend to the wounded soldier.
Carry On Hawkeye
The camp succumbs to the Asian flu, except for Hawkeye and Margaret, who have to do everything themselves. Then Margaret catches it. As the others start to recover, Hawkeye falls ill but is thanked with a commemorative roll of toilet paper.
The Incubator
Hawkeye and Trapper recover from an all night party. Henry gets a barbecue, and Hawkeye puts in a request for an incubator. The Quartermaster turns him down. They locate a Major with 3 incubators, but he won't let them have one. A Colonel tries to sell them one, and then they get into trouble with a General at a press conference. Finally, Radar trades the barbecue for an incubator.
Deal Me Out
Sidney Freedman comes to the camp, and joins in the poker game at The Swamp. Radar hits a local with a jeep, although the local is famous for jumping in front of vehicles for the compensation. Hawkeye and Trapper operate on an intelligence officer against regulations. Sidney helps talk around a soldier who wants to kill Frank.
Hot Lips and Empty Arms
Margaret revaluates her life, and decides to leave Frank and ask for a transfer, which is granted. She gets drunk at her goodbye party, but is sobered up in the shower when wounded start arriving. She changes her mind when she realises how loyal her friends are.
Officers Only
Hawkeye and Trapper operate on General Mitchell's son, and the General gives them 3 days in Tokyo and an officers club for the camp. They plot to allow the enlisted men access to the club, and when the General opens it the rules are bent to give his son access, which Hawkeye exploits to give access to all. Klinger pretends to be pregnant.
Henry in Love
Henry returns from a week in Tokyo, to announce that he is in love with a 20-year old girl called Nancy Sue Parker. She arrives for the weekend, and Henry shows her off. Nancy comes on to Hawkeye while Henry is in surgery. Henry is reminded of his wife back home when Radar places a call for him, and he realises it's his wife he loves.
For Want of a Boot
A riotous episode in which Hawkeye will do anything to get a new pair of boots: In order to get Zale to get him some, he must get an appointment for Zale with Futterman, the camp dentist, who will only do it if Henry will give him a pass to Tokyo, and Henry will only grant the pass if Houlihan will get off his back, which she will do only if the guys throw a party for Frank's birthday, with a cake, and Radar will only help get the cake if he gets a date with Nurse Murphy, who will only date someone with a hair dryer, and Klinger won't give up the hair dryer unless he gets a section 8 (and Frank won't sign). Inevitably, the deal falls through, much to the Hawkeye's chagrin.
Operation Noselift
Private Baker, who is always going AWOL, is desperate for plastic surgery on his nose. Hawkeye gets an old friend, and plastic surgeon, to visit the camp, promising him a nurse called "The Barracuda". They put together an elaborate scheme to perform the operation without Frank or Margaret finding out.
The Chosen People
A Korean family set up camp in the middle of the compound. A Korean woman with a baby comes looking for the father, and names Radar. Civilian affairs relocates the family and blood tests prove Radar is not the father.
As You Were
While there are no casualties, Hawkeye & Trapper crate up Frank while he sleeps and receive gorilla suits through the mail. Henry gets a tan and gives another sex orientation lecture. When the wounded start pouring in again, their own side shells the camp, hitting the generator, and Radar tries to get through to someone to stop the shelling.
Crisis
The supply lines to the camp are cut. Radar, the housing officer, starts doubling people up to save fuel and Klinger is thrown out of the nurse's tent. People start burning everything to stay warm while Frank wears his heated socks. The toilet paper supply is worst hit, and then wounded start arriving. Supplies are eventually restored.
George
Burns tries to slap a dishonorable discharge on a decorated soldier who admits to being a homosexual, Private Weston. Weston: "Two guys got beaten up in my outfit. One colored, the other homosexual. As you can see, Doc., I'm not colored."
Mail Call
The arrival of a new batch of mail leaves Trapper depressed, and thinking of desertion, despite Hawkeye's efforts to dissuade him. Meanwhile, Hawkeye learns that he has successfully tricked Frank into buying stocks in a fictitious company, Pioneer Aviation.
A Smattering of Intelligence
A classic episode in which Colonel Flagg and another secret agent from another intelligence agency come to the 4077th to keep their eyes on one another and the camp. Hawkeye and Trapper trick them both into thinking that Burns is a traitor - one thinks he's a fascist, the other thinks he's a communist. Vinny Pratt, a friend of Trapper's turns up.
The General Flipped at Dawn
An inspection by a decorated and strict 2-star Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele puts the 4077th on edge. When he arrives, its behaviour leaves much to be desired, but so does the general's sanity! He mistakes Klinger for his wife and Hawkeye for a news reporter, but the final straw comes when, after talking to a chopper pilot, he decides too much fuel is being wasted and orders the unit to bug out and move the camp closer to the front, just to show that a MASH unit should in fact be mobile. At this point, everyone except Frank has decided the Gen. Steele is nuts. When Hawkeye goes over Steele's head and sends a chopper off with a patient on it to get him to Seoul instead of letting the general use it for scouting out the new MASH site, Steele calls for a court martial. When the military hearing is assembled, the general asks for an African-American pilot for a "musical number," because he has it in his blood. Thus the general exposes his own mental instability, and the MP calls the hearing off. The next day, upon learning that Gen. Steele has been promoted to 3-star general at a Korean theter of operations, Hawkeye, Trapper and Col. Blake respond by breaking into a "musical number" of their own!
Rainbow Bridge
As Hawkeye and Trapper are planning to leave for Tokyo, an unusual offer to swap POW patients between the Chinese and the 4077th comes in. Henry, after much debate, agrees to send Hawkeye, Trapper, Frank, Radar, and Klinger into enemy territory. Frank almost botches the swap when he brings a squirt gun to the exchange. Fortunately, the Chinese Dr. Lin Tam has a sense of humor; he went to the University of Illinois, after all.
Officer of the Day
While Henry is away in Seoul, Burns and Houlihan are in charge, and Hawkeye is the officer of the day. His refusal to release a wounded Korean soldier, wanted by US Intelligence, leads to a confrontation with Colonel Flagg.
Iron Guts Kelly
General 'Iron Guts' Kelly arrives for an inspection, and ends up dying in Margaret's tent. Hawkeye and Trapper help the General's aide smuggle him out of camp. The next day he is reported killed at the front, as that is where he would have wanted to die.
O.R.
A massive onslaught of casualties keeps the 4077th unit mightily busy in the O.R. An Ethiopian soldier expresses gratitude to Hawkeye, while Frank nearly takes a healthy kidney out of a patient who has only one. Then Hawk performs an open-heart massage to revive a patient...only to tragically lose him four hours later. Mobile Army head shrink Sidney Freedman arrives for the weekly poker game only to scrub up and join in on the fun. Further panic starts when a fire starts in OR, but is quickly extinguished. Capts. Pierce and MacIntyre pass out on OR tables when the nightmarish session of meatball surgery finally ends.
Springtime
When spring arrives, Klinger gets word from home that his sweetheart back in Toledo wants to marry him. Father Mulcahy arranges to do this over short wave radio. Radar falls in love with a nurse, while a grateful patient won't leave Hawkeye alone, and even threatens Major Burns.
Check-Up
Trapper gets an ulcer and a ticket home. Unfortunately, his going-away party is spoiled by a new Army regulation, which forces him to stay.
Life With Father
Mail from home worries Henry that Lorraine may be seeing other men. Father Mulcahy presides over a Jewish circumcision ceremony for the Korean-born son of a US GI.
Alcoholics Unanimous
Henry's departure to Tokyo leaves Major Burns in charge of the 4077th. He declares total prohibition of alcohol, which leads to a near riot amongst the camp, especially from Hawkeye and Trapper.
There is Nothing Like a Nurse
The nurses are evacuated when the threat of an enemy parachute drop arises. Hawkeye and Trapper try to enliven everyone's spirits whilst they are gone. Hawkeye: "The plot thins. Watch the cake sue for malpractice when Frank cuts into it."
Adam's Ribs
Sick and tired of having liver and fish for an 11-day stretch, Hawkeye, driven near to insanity, starts a riot in the mess tent. He and Trapper then orders spare ribs and sauce from the best place he ever had them, in Chicago. Trapper calls a woman he spent a weekend with to pick up the ribs, and then they get choppered in. Unfortunately, right as they're sitting down to eat, wounded arrive, and Hawkeye is forced to postpone sinking his teeth into his beloved ribs.
A Full Rich Day
Hawkeye records a letter to his dad, detailing the exploits of a mad Turkish soldier who calls Hawkeye a "damn good Joe," the unfortunate loss of the corpse of a Luxembourg soldier (who turns out not to be dead), Lt. Hanri-Batiste LeClerc, and of a gun-happy officer.
Mad Dogs and Servicemen
A local dog bites Radar, and the camp conducts a search to find the pooch, so that Radar doesn't have to undergo a series of painful rabies vaccinations. Hawkeye defies Frank, to take care of a GI who's suffering from a case of hysterical paralysis.
Private Charles Lamb
A Greek Colonel thanks the 4077th by giving them food and drink for an Easter celebration. Bu the feast is foiled when softhearted Radar saves the main course from the spit - a lamb, which Radar tricks Henry into giving a medical discharge and sends home to Ottumwa, Iowa. Thus, Hawkeye and Trapper invent the famed Spam Lamb! Meanwhile, a soldier who had shot himself to get out of the army confesses to Frank, thinking he is Father Mulcahy.
Bombed
The camp is under fire and is swamped with wounded. Franks jealousy of trapper drives him to propose to Margaret.
Bulletin Board
Camp activities include Henry's nervous delivery of a sex lecture, with Hawkeye's and Trapper's heckling, a Shirley Temple movie, and a cookout.
The Consultant
Dr. Borelli visits the 4077th to demonstrate his artery transplant technique. Unfortunately, being so close to the front at the 4077th causes Borelli's drinking problem to interfere at the worst time - when a patient needs the transplant.
House Arrest
Hawkeye hits Major Burns and Houlihan is a witness. Despite Hawkeye and Trapper's claims that it wasn't intentional Frank makes allegations against Hawkeye. A female colonel is sent to investigate Burns' allegations. When she cries "Rape!" when Burns visits her tent, Houlihan recants her story, and Burns, not Hawkeye, ends up under house arrest.
Aid Station
Hawkeye, Houlihan, and Klinger go to an aid station at the front. Working closely together under heavy fire and unsanitary medical conditions, the three return to camp with new found respect for one another.
Love and Marriage
Hawkeye and Trapper prevent a GI from marrying a call girl who has TB, whilst trying to help a Korean soldier join his pregnant wife. Radar, of course, provides his usual invaluable help.
Big Mac
The camp prepares for a visit from General MacArthur. Klinger dresses as the Statue of Liberty as the General's jeep drives through the camp. MacArthur is so impressed, he salutes!
Payday
Frank buys two sets of Pearl's, one for Margaret and one for his wife. After some talk, Radar gets Hawkeye $3,000 in lost earnings, Hawkeye gives it to Mulcahy for the orphans, but then the army wants the money back. Trapper wins big at poker after using Hawkeye's watch as a stake, so Hawkeye takes his winnings to avoid a stay in the honeymoon suite of The Stockade Hilton.
White Gold
Colonel Flagg blows into camp trying to obtain penicillin to barter for information. But Flagg comes down with appendicitis, and the only penicillin he gets is in the keister.
Abyssinia, Henry
Actually, we won't. One of the classic M*A*S*H episodes. Henry finally gets his discharge. While he is tying things up, Burns prepares for his new command. Henry bids a tearful adieu, but not before Klinger turns up in an outrageous tropical outfit, and gets Henry to zip him up, and he gets a kiss Margaret. He gives Radar a hug and his last order, and departs by helicopter. The traumatic and shocking last scene finds Radar walking into the OR without a mask on, grief-stricken, to tell everyone of Colonel Blake's death when his plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. The reaction of the doctors, who are forced to put aside their sadness for the time being so they can continue trying to save lives, is legend. The episode concludes with a succession of clips from past seasons' episodes featuring the late Henry Blake.
Welcome to Korea
Maj. Frank Burns takes full charge and gives the 4077th hell with his usual military regimen as the new CO (something he will soon be disappointed to learn is only temporary!); Lt. Col. Henry Blake having lost his life en route home. Capt. Hawkeye Pierce arrives back from 3 days R it didn't matter that it wasn't theirs, to Hawkeye a jeep was a jeep, so they commandeer it to get back to the 4077th. On the way back, they encounter a farming family using their daughters to check for land mines to protect their cows. A land mine explodes, injuring one daughter, and Radar braves the field to pick her up and bring her to their jeep. Having taken her to the hospital, they continue on their way to the 4077th and blow a tire. A group of locals walks by, then suddenly disappears. Hawk, Beej and Radar barely change the tire and evacuate as a barrage of gunfire erupts. Presumably out of danger, they meet up with a group of G.I's, only to have shells rain immediately down upon them, and B.J. gets his first taste of war when they have to treat the wounded soldiers. As BJ tries to help the injured men, the physical gruesomeness of one dead soldier makes him physically sick. After a detour to Rosie's bar, they become so riproaring drunk that only Radar is able to drive them back to the 4077th. Back at camp, B.J falls out of the jeep, landing at Frank's feet with a drunken "What say ya, Ferret Face?" indicating that he, like Hawk and his predecessor, Trapper John, won't fulfill Maj. Burns and Houlihan's wishes. Furthermore, Frank gets picked up by the M.P.s for stealing the General's jeep when he shows lousy timing in using it. The episode ends with the roster of the new cast of M*A*S*H and a "preview" of the arrival of Harry Morgan as Col. Sherman Potter in next week's episode.
Change of Command
Hawkeye and BJ finish building "The Henry Blake Memorial Bar," just as Radar comes in with news that a new commander is coming. Margaret is outraged to hear that Frank is being replaced, and Frank weeps in her tent. Col. Sherman T. Potter arrives and quickly meets Klinger, who's anxious to start working him for a Section 8---but, alas, to no avail. An officers' meeting finds Frank has apparrently left the 4077. Margaret informs Hawkeye and BJ that Frank has apparently gone AWOL. Choppers arrive bearing wounded, and, after a long OR session, Potter decides that he can use a belt---a matter of which The Eye Of The Hawk and Beej are only too happy to be a service. Frank finally returns, and when Klinger arrives wearing a sailor's dress, he is stunned to hear Col. Potter say, "Nice outfit, Klinger!"
It Happened One Night
A freezing night, an artillery barrage that's coming too close, a patient going downhill, and Frank's searching Hot Lips' tent for his letters.
The Late Captain Pierce
When Hawkeye's father is notified that he's dead, he finds it's no easy matter either to get word to him or to establish otherwise.
Hey, Doc
Its quid pro quo at the 4077th: two bottles of Scotch for secret surgery, and a tank to scare off snipers for an unauthorized shot of penicillin.
The Bus

Movie Tonight

At long last Mulcahy arrived with the mail, he also brought a movie, not just any old movie, this was My Darling Clementine, Col. Potter's all time favorite. The Colonel announced that the movie was to be screened in the mess tent and everyone was invited. Hawkeye saw this as an ideal opportunity to go out with one of the nurses, but he was too late they'd all been invited to a party at I-Corp. Frank was also out of luck when he tried to ask Hotlips to go with him. Klinger was acting as projectionist, but he wasn't having a lot of luck, the movie was in such poor condition that it kept breaking.

Corral' everyone was having a great time, in fact when they began acting out the scene, they got so involved they didn't hear the ambulance arrive in the compound.

Colonel Penobscott's stag bachelor's party. When Don passes out, everyone departs, and BJ hatches a plot to put him in a body cast from his chest to his ankles and tell him he broke his leg!

But Klinger, filling in for the vacationing Radar, lacks the expertise and experience to wheel and deal for a new machine.
Good-Bye Radar (Part 2)
As company clerk Radar O'Reilly reluctantly prepares to depart the 4077th, the unit is still without electricity due to a broken generator, and the operating room continues to fill up with war wounded as night falls. The responsibility for procuring a new generator falls on Klinger, who lacks Radar's masterful knack of cutting through red tape in search of much-needed supplies.
Period of Adjustment
Col. Potter is continuously covering for Klinger, who, as new company clerk, has become so overwhelmed by the increasing demands of the unit, he has gotten far behind in his army paperwork. He gets sick of everyone giving him a hard time, forever comparing him to by-now departed Radar O'Reilly and how he doesn't measure up to him. A letter from Peg Hunnicutt brings news of Radar's visit to San Francisco (en route to his hometown in Iowa). When poor BJ reads his daughter Erin called Radar "Daddy!" because he was wearing a uniform just like her real daddy, he is put into so deep a funk he gets very drunk, destroys the still, slugs Hawkeye and disappears, along with Klinger. As Hot Lips and Charles search for them, they discover that BJ and Klinger, fresh from the officers' club, were kicked out of Rosie's Bar as a result of throwing darts, pretzels and peanuts at Radar's face drawn on a napkin.

Potter talks to Klinger, apologizes, and tells him to ease into the job and make it his, while BJ breaks down and confesses to Hawkeye his jealousy of Radar and his predecessor Trapper John, both being back home, and the tragic realization of how, no matter what happens, all of the time he spent away from his daughter is lost forever.

Life Time
As Hawkeye, BJ, Klinger and Hot Lips play cards, a chopper arrives bearing a soldier with a severely lacerated aorta who will die or be permanently paralyzed if he doesn't receive major surgery in 20 minutes. Hawkeye does an emergency procedure to quell the bleeding by temporarily cutting off the blood supply to the spine, and the 4077th staff must work quickly to prevent paralysis. They try to buy more time as they search desperately for a graft. When more wounded arrive, Roberts, the friend of a dying soldier named Harold Sherwood (with a severe head injury), berates BJ for not trying to save him. The reason is that Sherwood could provide an aortic graft, and waiting for the graft donor to expire takes up precious time, for he is still using it. Roberts' wrath is unintentionally incurred when he learns they want to use his friend's artery as a graft for the man being operated on. BJ works fast to take the graft when Sherwood dies, and Mulcahy comforts Roberts by telling him that his friend is giving of himself for the sake of another soldier in peril. He then suggests that Roberts tell the injured man who gets the graft all about his pal. The operation is a success!

Hawkeye: "Dear Ronnie, it's a shame to let the love you have for your brother turn to hate for others. Hate makes war, and war is what killed Keith. I understand how you feel. Sometimes I hate myself for being here. But sometimes in the midst of all this insanity, the smallest thing can make my being here seems worthwhile. Maybe the best answer I have for you is that you look for good wherever you can find it."

This will mean he is not to get angry, or drink alcohol, or smoke, or anything like that. Hawkeye is sworn to secrecy, as the Colonel does not want people molly-coddling him. Klinger has been feeling very tired recently, and his back is aching. When the Colonel discovers that Klinger has made a mistake with some forms, he almost yells at Klinger - but then Hawkeye reminds him not to get angry. Klinger is puzzled by Col Potter's behaviour, so Hawkeye lets him into the secret. Soon enough eveyrone knows, and Col Potter finds out they know - which means they are molly-coddling him, and this is not going to help out his blood pressure.

Charles doesn't like Halloween, and since he's on duty, he has to go get a billiard ball out of a Marine's mouth. The party is ruined when lots of casualties arrive. The doctors have to call for Father Mulcahy, who is at the orphanage for a Halloween party there, because a solider is brought in dead. Col. Potter tries to explain to Charles that Halloween is about getting scared, not partying. He starts off a flurry of ghost stories with his story about his wife Mildred having a dream in 1939 about her brother Calvin coming into her room sitting on her bed, and shaking his head at her kind of sadly; the next morning, she learns her brother had succumbed to a heart attack. The generator then goes half-power and more causalities show up, some of them drunks from Rosie's.

And then, even more casualties come. The dead man is still lying on the ground, but he really isn't dead, his hand twitches right as he is covered by a sheet. Margaret tells a story about a woman taking a picture of her husbands car wreck, and when the film is developed, her husband is standing there, wearing the suit she bought for his funeral. The not-so-dead man is finally loaded into a truck by Graves Registration men while Hawkeye tries to get a malnourished soldier, Scala, to eat. Scala has his own ghost story to tell: he confesses to Hawkeye that all his soldier friends (Bertelson, Wooster and Greenway) were killed while he was in the chow line getting food, so he stopped eating because, if he hadn't been such a pig, he would have died with his friends and wouldn't have to live with the memory of seeing their dead, surprised faces. Hawkeye arranges plans to call for Sidney Freeman and Father Mulcahy arrives from the orphanage. On learning of the dead (?) soldier from Hawk and that he was (is?!) Catholic, Father wishes to give him Last Rites, and stops the men from Graves Registration just as they haul the corpse (?!!) away. While administering The Rites, the man sheds a tear and Father Mulcahy yells for Hawkeye. The soldier was never dead to begin with, but with more holes in him than a golf course and being with no pulse and no heartbeat, the people at the battallion aid station he was brought to passed him on as dead to the 4077th. And the people at the 4077th, after they see the toe-tag on a man, they take it to mean he is dead and don't bother seeing if he is or isn't! Everyone is amazed at the soldier coming back from the dead and Col. Potter congratulates Father Mulcahy on saving a life.

BJ then challenges that he can pull a joke on all of them in 24 hours...or he'll do a striptease in the mess tent. Charles is the first joke recipient when he finds a snake in his bed, followed by Potter, whose toothpaste has been replaced with shaving cream. Hot Lips falls next, as the rear end of her robe has been cut out, followed by Father Mulcahey, who eats highly peppered food. Hawkeye begins to become paranoid, and acts strangely around a visiting surgeon from the 8063 MASH because he is an old friend of BJ's. This paranoia increases when Klinger falls victim to an exploding file drawer, and he becomes the only one left. Finally, Hawkeye takes his cot outside and sleeps surrounded by barbed wire. The next morning, Hawkeye claims victory, but BJ reveals that everyone was in on the joke, and that Hawkeye's paranoia was the greatest joke of all, so he sings "You're The Tops" while dropping his bottoms. But The Eye Of The Hawk is never one not to have the last laugh, and manages to shave off half of BJ's moustache while he's asleep!

Woody doesn't take the news well and storms out, thus ending a 40 year friendship.

The two men are placed next to each other, making the American soldier uncomfortable. The North Korean, surprisingly, shows generosity to him but later dies and the GI feels remorse.

As Time Goes By

Rizzo, who gets retribution when he brings a phony handgrenade into the showere where BJ is showering. Soon-Li Hahn, a young Korean woman, is accused of firing at GIs, but denies it, and she is later proven innocent. Hot Lips and Hawkeye end up doing separate time capsule solicitations and conflict with each other. When time arrives for the unit to gather for the time capsule burial, Margaret learns Hawkeye has selected some very appropriate items: a fan belt from a helicopter, Radar O'Reilly's teddy bear (standing for all the soldiers who arrived as boys and left as men), and a fishing hook once belonging to Henry Blake (standing for all the soldiers who never made it home). A pair of boxing gloves are also contributed, courtesy of Father Mulcahy ("In the future, if countries feel the need to go to war, they can use these to settle it!").
