This Pollock & Davis story runs an hour but there's barely enough material for half.  Marina Ryan (the adorable Gail Edwards, who I know best from It's a Living), a member of a USO troop comes to the 4077th because of appendicitis.  Hawkeye operates on her and she forms a crush on him.  Her troop visits and ends up staying a few days, entertaining the camp and connecting with the staff.  The thing is, there's not much here that's very interesting or surprising, other than that Hawkeye gently spurns Marina.  Not much to open the tenth season with but maybe things will improve later.

Martin Ferrero was a Waiter on Soap, is the Wounded Man in Jeep here, and would be a Salesman on Mork & Mindy.  Brian Byers (this time a nameless Patient) and Kellye Nakahara (Yamato, this time with more to do) return.
