Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPotter sardonically refers to Hawkeye, who had a black eye from BJ striking him, as "the great John L." This is likely a reference to John L. Sullivan, the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing.
- GoofsWhen talking to Father Mulcahy in the mess tent, Colonel Potter says, "you wouldn't kid a Presbyterian". But, back when Colonel Potter first assumed command at MASH, he asked Father Mulcahy if he could do a Methodist service.
- Crazy creditsIn an unusual move, the writers' and director's credits at the beginning of the episode are framed on the screen so as to not block Col. Potter's face while he is speaking on the phone.

Featured review
Klinger and Hunnicutt on the Loose
Once again, B.J. goes into his sad sack stage when he gets a letter from his wife, saying that Radar met her and their little girl mistook him for her daddy. Meanwhile, Klinger has been given the job vacated by the little corporal and he is having a terrible time. In anger, Hunnicutt knocks Hawkeye unconscious, destroys the still, and rushes out the door of the swamp. He finds an ally in the persecuted clerk. The episode involves the two of them going on a binge and being sought out by Potter and the others. Once again, the amount of drinking that is used for humor doesn't wash with me. I ask the question again: "If there are only a handful of surgeons, how can these guys be hammered so much of the time?" Had there been casualties, it would have been devastating. I know it's only a television show, but some sense of order needs to be there.
