- Hawkeye, Margaret, and Klinger travel to an aid station at the front, where they end up working closely together under heavy fire and unsanitary medical conditions.
- "I" Company aid station sustained heavy shelling; 4077 are to provide trained personnel until replacements arrive. A surgeon was KIA, and they need a cutter, scrub nurse and a corpsman. Hotlips volunteers. The doctors draw sausages and Hawkeye is drafted; Fr. Mulcahy picks Klinger's card for corpsman duty. Everyone is scared to death; they cover with jokes. Grumpy calls Snow White to check in; the conditions are appalling. There is no roof and no running water; few of the walls are standing. Even Klinger gets "hands on" and Margaret is promoted to actual cutting. The trio works so hard, they each sleep happily on their mats. Back at the 4077, lonely Radar sleeps in Hawkeye's bunk; Henry drinks gin and frets. At the aid station, Margaret is jubilant: they did it! They made chaos orderly and achieved the 8th wonder. On the ride home, Hawkeye makes a sweet confession to Margaret. Klinger dons his best bonnet. Be it ever so much like an upholstered toilet, there's no place like home.—LA-Lawyer
- "I" Company aid station sustained heavy shelling; 4077 are to provide trained personnel until replacements arrive. A surgeon was KIA, and they need a cutter, scrub nurse and a corpsman. This is a very dangerous mission. Hotlips volunteers. The doctors draw sausages and Hawkeye is drafted; Fr. Mulcahy picks Klinger's card for corpsman duty. Everyone is scared to death; they cover with jokes. Klinger entrusts his dresses to Radar before leaving for the mission. Frank is sorry that he didn't volunteer, since he is a married man. Houlihan is pissed that he cant leave his wife on account of his children, and that everything is in her name. Houlihan warns that she will cut Frank if he touches one nurse while she is gone. Hawkeye leaves his will in the locker and tells Trapper to execute it in case he doesn't come back. They drink together to the Ritz brothers.
soon, the jeep departs for the front. Klinger drives. They get a flat tire. Since they cant risk Hawkeye's hands as a surgeon, it is Houlihan and Klinger who change the tire. As they get closer, the shelling increases. Grumpy (KLinger) calls Snow White (Radar) to check in; the conditions are appalling. There is no roof and no running water; few of the walls are standing. Hawkeye takes charges and arranges whats left into a triage area, surgery, pre-op and post op. The enemy continues to shell the area, which makes it deadly dangerous to even be around. Even Klinger gets "hands on" (Hawkeye asks him to put pressure on a bleeder) and Margaret is promoted to actual cutting. Houlihan is in awe of Hakweye's surgical and leadership skills. The surgeries are performed while the constant shelling drops dust and debris all over their aid station and make conditions impossible to work with. Yet, the trio persists. The trio works so hard, they each sleep happily on their mats. They only have cold canned food to eat. Houlihan is worried about snipers in the area. Hawkeye snuggles upto Houlihan and takes care of her.
Back at the 4077, lonely Radar sleeps in Hawkeye's bunk; Henry drinks gin and frets since there is no news from the aid station. Nobody went to the Sherlock Holmes movie. Trapper assures everyone that they are OK. At the aid station, Margaret is jubilant: they did it! They made chaos orderly and achieved the 8th wonder. The replacements have arrived and the trio are on the way back. On the ride home, Hawkeye makes a sweet confession to Margaret. She is his favorite officer in the whole US Army and kisses her on the cheeks.
Klinger dons his best bonnet. Be it ever so much like an upholstered toilet, there's no place like home. Frank is jealous of Margaret for she wont tell what happened with Hawkeye (she only says that he and her performed like a well oiled machine) and ditto between Trapper and Hawkeye (Hawkeye says nothing happened and she worked like a trooper. They had a constructive relationship based on mutual respect). It takes the cake when at dinner, Frank and Trapper complain about food, but Hawkeye and Margaret actually enjoy it.
