8 Men and a Baby, 24 March 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

While on routine patrol, Saunders and his squad come across a baby abandoned in a farmhouse. The men want to take it with them, Saunders insists on leaving it as a matter of the men's safety. But their grousing gets the better of him and he agrees to try and get the baby to a local convent. Kind of a routine episode, highlighted by Caje's impersonation of a French farmer to get the baby past German lines before the artillery shelling begins. As the one in charge of the baby Doc gets more screen time than usual but Steve Rogers doesn't make much use of it. It wouldn't be long before he would be replaced as the squad's medic.

The squad appears to be bucking for court martial the way they disobey Saunders to help the baby. Even when one of their own guys gets blown up by a mine going to get milk for the baby, it doesn't seem to wise them up at all.

There is also a reference to Little John's earlier episode where he tried to cart a bicycle all over France. But perhaps the most notable thing about this one is how eerily similar Saunders scene in this where he risks his life to save the baby is to Morrow's scene in "The Twilight Zone" where he was accidentally killed in a scene where he was trying to evacuate some kids.
