This Davis & Pollock show has three UN delegates visit the 4077th and each teach or learn something:

• The Indian teaches Potter, Klinger, and eventually Hawkeye about meditation;
• The Brit teaches Charles something unexpected about snobbery;
• And the Swede, Per Johannsen (Dennis Holahan, who's actually from Connecticut, and ironically appear on the pilot of Connecticut-set Who's the Boss?, as Angela's boss/boyfriend Grant), learns that Margaret can be attracted to him but also value him for other qualities than physical.  (A war injury has made him permanently impotent.

Meanwhile, BJ identifies heavily with a patient who has a wife and little girl.  I'm not sure how well this all holds together, but I do like the last moment between Margaret and Hawkeye, where she thanks him for being a "jerk."  Note that Swit later married Holahan, more irony.

Brigitte Chandler makes her first of three appearances as a nameless Nurse.  Kellye Nakahara (Yamato), Shari Saba (Lt. Shari), and Bill Snider (this time as the Bartender) return.  Morgan directed.
