Wrong episode


* RecklessGunUsage: During Retreat (the end-of-day assembly), Frank has ordered a salute be fired, using a small cannon. Even after Private Igor points out the cannon's aimed in Radar's direction, Frank still insists. Igor shoots it, and the shot loaded inside (when such salute firings are to be performed with ''no live ammunition at all'', just powder) whacks Radar's bugle clean out of his hand. (It can be safely assumed, per Frank's prior record with guns, he was the one who ordered a live shot be prepared.) Radar's [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge immediate]] [[{{Angrish}} reaction]] is entirely justified, though he tries to take it out on Igor rather than Frank.
* RunningGag: Radar's poor bugling technique returns again.

When Henry Blake returns to the 4077 after a short stay in Tokyo, he reveals to Hawkeye, Trapper and Radar that he has fallen in love with a young woman there by the name of Nancy Sue Parker who will be coming to visit him and the members of the camp in a few days. The three, and the entire camp, are left unimpressed due to the suspicion that the colonel is setting himself up for a fall. Bu then Nancy arrives, and everyone starts to see why Henry is so head over heels when she shows how nice and bubbly she is.

But is all as it seems? And if Henry's feelings remain strong as they are, what will this mean for his life back home?
