In this Laurence Marks story, there's not really all that much "love." Radar receives a "Dear John" 45 RPM record and then has a crush on an intellectual woman, Lt. Anderson. Hawkeye shows him how to fake that sort of intelligence. No, the lesson does not turn out to be that Radar should just be himself, as it would be on The Bob Newhart Show or of course The Brady Bunch. Instead, the lesson is don't try to interfere with romance, as Hot Lips does on the basis that Anderson is an officer and Radar an enlisted man, because you will be cock-blocked until you give in. I will admit that I was mildly amused when she finds Hawkeye and Trapper in her bed.
Jerry Harper, who plays the Sergeant, would later be Phillips. Barbara Brownell (Jones) makes her second and last appearance on the show but would soon be on Bob Newhart.
