This Fritzell and Greenbaum story, directed by Alda, is a definite improvement over the last one.  The 4077th has to temporarily take in some Korean orphans and there are some nice scenes of the staff interacting with the kids, including very different bedtime stories from BJ and Potter.  (We find out that BJ has a little girl.  It seems like daughters were more common on this show than sons.)  When Frank receives an unearned Purple Heart, Hawkeye and BJ find someone who deserves it more.  Margaret's reaction shows how her personality, and loyalties, have evolved.

Haunani Minn, who plays the pregnant woman Sung Lee, would return as a Guerrilla Woman.  Roy Goldman (as Roy Goldman) and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato, given more to do than usual) return.
