This Wilcox & Mumford story has two forgettable threads (the "revenge" the staff is planning on behalf of a jilted soldier, and the insurance salesman who keeps trying to work in post-op), and one not completely satisfactory but interesting thread.  A soldier confesses to Father Mulcahy that he's swiped tags with a dead buddy who was about to be shipped home.  Mulcahy is conflicted, especially since he can't tell anyone, so he guilt-trips the young man into not going home with a false identity.

Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky, revealed to have a wife and a girlfriend), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), Shari Saba (Lt. Shari), Bill Snider (this time a Corpsman), and Jo Ann Thompson (Nurse Jo Ann, although referred to as Thompson) return.  Stiers directed.
