The 4077th throws a wedding for a Korean (or maybe Korean-American) soldier who's a table tennis champ.  Margaret, who bickers with an increasingly childish Frank, cries at the wedding.  I think Hawkeye's line about their houseboy being drafted two years ago is a semi-in-joke about Ho-Jon.

Frank Maxwell, who plays Lt. Col. Harold Becket, was William Samuels on That Girl.  Roy Goldman (as Roy Goldman), Enid Kent (Nurse Bigelow), Sachiko Penny Lee (this time as Soony), Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky, doing Bogart), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), and Sal Viscusco (PA Announcer) all return.  This is Sid Dorfman's last writing credit on my blog, giving him a span of almost 26 years, which will be tough to beat.
