* UncertifiedExpert: Mr. Shin, a local peddler who Hawkeye and B.J. initially think just sells cheap jewelery, turns out to be an expert metalworker with decades of experience, and ends up being more than capable of perfecting their clamp design.
-->'''B.J.:''' You say you made all that stuff ''yourself?''
-->'''Mr. Shin:''' Since before you were ''born'', sonny boy.

* AccidentallyAccurate: Charles warns them that nobody in the army will be able to modify their vascular clamp. He ends up being right; they get it built by a Korean jeweler.

** Hawk and BJ commission Zale to make the vascular clamp. His prototype doesn't work properly (it clamps but doesn't release) and Hawk and BJ berate him for his failure and offer no thanks for the effort. They later heap praise on Mr. Chin for fixing it, again not recognizing Zale for his contribution of the initial design.
** Even Mr. Chin misses out to an extent; for improving on Zale's design and building a successful prototype for a clamp, he only gets ten dollars, rather than a lifetime of royalties.

Added DiffLines:

Hawkeye and B.J., tired of using the wrong instrument to perform arterial transplants, decide to design one themselves. Klinger accidentally throws out Margaret's engagement ring, earning her ceaseless wrath. The solution to both their worries turns out to be a local jeweler.

!!Attention all personnel! Over hill, over dale, the following tropes will never fail!

* AccidentallyAccurate: Charles warns them that nobody in the army will be able to modify their vascular clamp. He ends up being right; they get it built by a Korean jeweler.
* ContinuityNod: The clamp made in this episode is referred to in "[[Recap/MashS6E13ComradesInArmsPt2 Comrades In Arms Pt. 2]]", when Margaret mentions using a clamp invented at the camp. On Netflix the episode order is reversed, so that this episode appears before "Comrades in Arms".
* ContinuitySnarl: On the DVD, this episode appears after "[[Recap/MashS6E13ComradesInArmsPt2 Comrades In Arms Pt. 2]]", meaning that Margaret is telling the 8063rd about a clamp that is 3 episodes away from its own creation when she goes there.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Klinger's response to Margaret accusing him, Hawkeye, and B.J. of playing a prank on her with the replacement ring.
-->'''Klinger:''' You don't have to be grateful. But would it hurt to at least appreciate the effort?
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Mr. Shin makes a mistake with the inscription on Margaret's replacement wedding ring: "Over hill, over dale, our love will ''ever'' fail". [[spoiler:It did.]]
* {{Jerkass}}:
** Charles' constant gloating when their attempts to get the clamp made fail.
** When Margaret forces the nurses to redo their inventory, she ''smiles''.
* SexForServices: Hawkeye offers the company of some nurses at the Army Corps of Engineers' unit party in exchange for the latter making their clamp.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The local unit of engineers has their entire force building a dam and won't even spare one man to redesign a clamp.
-->'''Col. Potter''': Thanks a bunch, and I'll try to remember you're on our side!
