Virginia Ann Lee makes her 4th appearance on the show as a different character. This time playing Kyong Ja.
This episode takes place on a Friday the 13th. There were six such dates during the Korean War: October 1950; April and July 1951; June 1952; and February and March 1953.
In the last scene, Hawkeye is reading "The Brass and the Blue", which was published in 1956, after the Korean War had ended.
One of the very few episodes where a laugh track is used in the operating room.
