    Last episode filmed

    While this was the second to last episode to air, it was actually the last episode filmed. The scene with the burial of the capsul and Hawkeye's words in that scene being the very last.

    A Chance to Bury It All

    We all know about the final episode. It's a classic. This is a precursor to it. Margaret reads about a time capsule that is being put as a cornerstone to a building in Los Angeles. She decides to do the same thing for the MASH 4077. She entreats everyone to come up with something that would show what it was like at the MASH and to show the kind of people who worked there. Of course, this is a chance for the cynical to do everything they can to thwart her efforts. Their point is that the Korean War deserved no celebration, even a hundred years into the future. An act of incredible heroism by a chopper pilot puts a different slant on things. Meanwhile, Klinger may have found the love of his life, a young refugee woman. Things had kind of ground down as this puts an end to the half hour episode. Thank you for a great ride.

    • Trivia
      In this, the final standard episode of the series, the MASH personnel bury a time capsule to be unearthed in 100 years. In the first episode, the words "Korea - A Hundred Years Ago" appeared on screen before the opening credits.
    • Goofs
      When Margaret is putting nurse Kellye's boots in the time capsule she called her by her real name Nakahara instead of her character name Yamato. This also happened in another episode when Maj. Winchester made the same mistake.
    • Quotes

      Capt. B.J. Hunnicut: [hands over a fishing lure, for the time capsule] I fished with this a couple of times. Hawk told me it belonged to Colonel Blake. It's for all the men who never made it home.
