This story by Carl Kleinschmitt, Larry Gelbart, and Laurence Marks interweaves Hawkeye's romancing of a pretty and witty lieutenant with his efforts to see that a soldier can marry his Korean girlfriend and take her and their baby home when he's shipped out.  When Hawkeye finds out that the lieutenant is bigoted, he breaks off their relationship.  The episode is a bit heavy-handed, including Burns and Houlihan interfering just because that's what they do, but it has its moments, particularly with scene-stealer Klinger.

Odessa Cleveland (Bayliss) and Kellye Yakahara (Yamato) both return, the former being told by Blake to leave jokes to the doctors and the latter seeming to have a crush on Radar.
