Hawkeye and Trapper come out of a long gruelling session of operating on wounded soldiers to find that, for once, they are greeted with a beautiful and warm spring day. Yes, spring and all that comes with it. Love is in the air. Radar falls head over heels for brainy nurse Lieutenant Simmons. Frank and Margaret have a date in the field. Henry takes some time off to play golf. And Klinger gets a letter from his fiancee back home with an agreement to finally marry him.
On the other side of things, a shell-shocked soldier grows attached to a stray cat and another soldier pledges to serve Hawkeye after the doctor saves him.

--> '''Henry''': Me? You're the one who looks like he just blew out of Film/GoneWithTheWind.
* TakeAThirdOption: Henry won't allow Klinger temporary leave to go home and get married but naturally, neither can Laverne and the wedding come to Korea. So Henry decides to help Klinger out by setting up a few connections so the ceremony can be done via radio. Klinger thinks it would have been much simpler to just let him go home.

--> '''Frank''': I know, darling, and I love being both of us.
* OhCrap: When Wesson asks two guys in the mess tent if they were just about done with their meals and they say no, he [[ImpliedDeathThreat politely reminds them about good table manners]] and the two realise they were talking to a marine.
--> '''Wesson''': You boys about done?
--> '''Soldier''': Nope.
--> '''Wesson''': You know my mom always told me to leave the table a little hungry. That way you don't feel so stuffed, right?
--> '''Soldier''': Yeah, Right.
* SayMyName: Henry is about to take a swing at a golf ball when a jubilant Klinger comes up to him, which results in throwing him off his game.
--> '''Klinger''': Colonel Blake!
* SheCleansUpNicely: Radar did not notice how attractive a woman Lieutenant Simmons is until she enjoys the spring day by sunbathing.
* ShoutOut: Klinger and Radar each read excerpts from a poetry book written by Rupert Brooke.
** When Henry asks Klinger if his girlfriend Laverne has seen him recently (in other words, him wearing dresses), Klinger tells him not to be ridiculous.
--> '''Henry''': Me? You're the one who looks like he just blew out of Film/GoneWithTheWind.
* TakeAThirdOption: Henry won't allow Klinger temporary leave to go home and get married but naturally, neither can Laverne and the wedding come to Korea. So Henry decides to help Klinger out by setting up a few connections so the ceremony can be done via radio. Klinger thinks it would have been much simpler to just let him go home.
--> '''Henry''': If I let you go home, Klinger, the next time I see you, you'd be a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall.
