Margaret got tired of Donald Penobscott doing stuff behind her back. She was supposed to meet him in Tokyo, and Radar gave her a tellegram that told her he couldn't come because he got transferred temporarily to San Fransico. Radar expected her to lash out at him, but Margaret told him that she wasn't upset with Radar, and she would work things out with her husband. Later she calls Donald's unit and asks when he'll be back. Who ever is at the other end of the line told her that Donald had been permanetly transferred to California. Margaret gets upset, but not so upset that she destroys things like she usually does. OK, she does kick down the door, but that was all. Then she goes out into the camp kicking cans around. Hawkeye was also P.O.ed and comes across Margaret kicking cans. He asks what was wrong with her. And she tells him that Donald ran out on her. Hawk asks what Hot Lips is gonna do about it, and she says she's going to divorce him, then she cries. Hawkeye gets angry about all the pain the war is causing and goes up to the peace talks to try to stop the war. When he gest back, everyone dyed their hair red and wore red uniforms.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In response to several disparaging comments about his mustache, B.J. places a false one on the outside of his surgical mask. Edit
- The point system was used in Korea. In Sept. of 1951 the Army stated that an officer needed 55 points to be rotated home. They revised this in 1952 to state that it would take an officer 37 points, (not 36). This reduction was not followed up by an increase. This is the inaccuracy. Considering the amount of time that Hawkeye spent in Korea, he probably would have been rotated home in season 5 or 6.
  Edit
- The Panmunjon Peace Talks are featured in this episode - but they have already taken place, since they are mentioned in "Dear Mildred" (Season 4). Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES

- Potter: And when are you gonna get rid of that cheesy mustache? B.J.: Never! It's either this or I wear a caterpillar under my nose! Edit
- Hawkeye: This damn war, we're helpless here, we just gotta sit here and take it. This has gotta stop. This has gotta stop right now. Today. This minute. (Leaps into jeep) Margaret: What are you doing, where are you going? Hawkeye: I'm going to Panmunjon. Margaret: What? Hawkeye: I'm going to the peace talks. Margaret: The peace talks! Why? Hawkeye: To stop the war! Edit
- Charles: Must you always spout Scripture? Mulcahy: Well, I'm afraid it's an occupational hazard. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Hawkeye: We who are about to dye salute you! Hawkeye is parodying the Latin phrase Morituri te salutamus, translated as "We who are about to die salute you," spoken by Roman Gladiators before the historic fights at the Colosseum. Edit
