MASH 4077 has been experiencing an unusually long period of quiet, with no patients coming in and no signs of the war nearby. The members of the camp take this time to enjoy themselves, getting up to a slew of activities both fun and crazy. Frank Burns, in particular, has been trying to get his mind off a hernia that has been causing him some grief because asking for a hernia operation would mean he has to entrust his life to either Hawkeye or Trapper or worse both. Margaret convinces him to pluck up the courage and ask the two doctors to handle the operation. Then, all of a sudden, things turn out to be too good to last, as wounded are brought in and the battlefront is fast on the approach towards the campsite.

Added DiffLines:

* OhNoNotAgain: One of a darker nature. Throughout the first half of the episode, the [=MASHers=] are having a long break from treating and saving wounded.

* RunningGag: As the 4077 endures round after round of military attack, Radar attempts going up the ladder to get the fighting diverted away from the hospital, labelling himself with a superior rank the higher he goes.
--> '''Radar''': Regimental Headquarters? This is MASH 4077, Major O'Reilly speaking. We're getting a mess of artillery fire here, and I'm told you ordered it. I want it stopped right now, and that's an order.
--> [...]
--> '''Radar''': That's what I said, soldier. Lieutenant Colonel O'Reilly. I want to know where you Division people come off shelling so close to a hospital.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatTheHellHero: When the 4077 starts getting bombed, Radar is on the phone to the 789th Artillery to find out who's behind it. [[TheReveal They are]].
--> '''Radar''': You're doing it? Listen buddy, we're a hospital. How would you like it if we fired patients at you?! What? Those are your orders? To knock the enamel off of 500 bedpans? Who gave you those orders?

* DreadfulMusician: Radar seems to be horrible at piano playing as much as he is at bugle blowing.
* MotorMouth: Frank explains to Hawkeye why he is [[SuperOCD having the ketchup and condiments measured]].
--> '''Frank''': Well, if you kneel at the end of the tent and get the tabletop at eye level, you will see that each bottle of ketchup lines up behind the other, unless there's only one bottle of ketchup. Now the same is true of your condiments which, if you will note, are arranged according to height and popularity. There's your ketchup, your mustard, your relish, your mayonnaise, your oil and vinegar, your salt and pepper, and your sweet and sour gherkins all in a row.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After hearing why Frank is measuring the lineup of condiments at the mess tent tables, Hawkeye quietly withdraws back to Trapper's side.
--> '''Hawkeye''': I think we should do something to Frank's head and mail it back to him.
--> '''Trapper''': In a jar.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Henry Blake uses two silver trays to give himself a natural suntan.
