Potter's earrings, which Margaret laughs at - Margaret [[DudeNotFunny isn't so amused when Lorraine tells the others how the two of them hid crib notes for their microbiology exam]] [[VictoriasSecretCompartment inside their bras]]).

To share surgical experience among units, Pierce and Lieutenant Bigelow are temporarily assigned to the 8063rd MASH. Taking their place are Captain Roy Dupree, a brash and obnoxious surgeon, and Lieutenant Lorraine Anderson, a childhood friend of Margaret's. Dupree soon starts driving B.J. and Charles nuts, while Lorraine finds that Margaret isn't the fun-loving friend she used to know.

!!Attention! The following tropes have been temporarily assigned to the 4077:

* EnemyMine: B.J. and Charles team together to make sure Col. Potter kicks Dupree out.
* EurekaMoment: When Charles hears Dupree talking about how much he loves horses, that gives him the idea to tell him about Col. Potter's mare Sophie, and claim it's the camp's horse, knowing the colonel [[BerserkButton will not be happy]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Charles is so happy after Dupree is kicked out and Hawkeye is back, he says this:
-->'''Charles:''' Pierce, I never thought the day would come when I'd admit this...but '''God''', I missed you!
** Also, B.J. and Charles are both puzzled when Margaret wants to have coffee with them in the mess tent.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Dupree, at least according to B.J. and Charles. In TheTag, we learn that Hawkeye was this at the 8063rd.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Lorraine feels this way about Margaret, until they make up near the end.
