* ContinuityNod: Unintentionally by B.J at the end of the episode, who jokes he should have died on the table. Hawkeye has experience with having to watch his best friend die in front of him, and the mood quickly goes down for both of them.

After a long session in the OR, Klinger's nose is broken and BJ is hit in the arm by an exploding autoclave (instrument sterilizer). Charles, whose life Klinger probably saved by tackling him out of the way, feels responsible for Klinger's broken nose, and resolves to wait upon him to pay back the debt, which Klinger proceeds to abuse almost immediately. Meanwhile, BJ insists that his injury isn't serious and resists any attempts to examine his arm, even when Potter calls in an expert to replace BJ until his arm heals. The replacement doctor ruffles Hawkeye's feathers, insulting the camp and Hawkeye's abilities. BJ finally admits his injury is serious when someone bumps his arm accidentally and he almost passes out from the pain, and Hawkeye insists the replacement doctor operate on BJ, because, much as he hates to admit it, Hawkeye isn't as experienced in this kind of injury.

* IOweYouMyLife: Charles toward Klinger, after Klinger tackles Charles out of harm's way when the autoclave explodes. Especially as Charles had been castigating Klinger for leaving a bin in the walkway immediately beforehand.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: One of the handful of times Charles calls Klinger "Max" rather than "Corporal" or "Klinger" is when he realizes Klinger may have hurt himself while saving Charles' life.
