This script by Dennis Koenig is better than the last couple of stories, but it's still a bit stagey and heavy-handed, Margaret's lines in particular.  She tries to change for a man (wearing a dress that's supposed to be remade by Klinger but still not really flattering for her, in my opinion) and then tells Hawkeye that she wants someone whose 10% her father, with other percentages from Frank, Donald, and Hawkeye himself.  Meanwhile, BJ and Winchester argue when they try to collaborate on a medical paper.

Joshua Bryant makes his last appearance as Jack Scully, now a private rather than a sergeant.  Jeff Maxwell returns as Igor Straminsky.  Morgan directed.
