This Burt Prelutsky story has the entire camp trying to read a mystery novel BJ's wife sends him, but the last page is missing, so they come up with different solutions.  At one point, Charles reads a steamy chapter aloud to Margaret.  (I must admit I'm sort of surprised this flirtation or whatever it is continues, considering she is married.)  Meanwhile, Hawkeye is annoyed with Charles's self-absorbed attitude towards the patients, including one he almost accidentally kills.  I like their confrontation and its sort of resolution.   The mystery, however, remains unsolved.

Enid Kent (Nurse Bigelow), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), and Sal Viscuso (PA Announcer) return.  Radar is absent.
