- Winchester encourages Hawkeye, B.J. and Margaret to raise the stakes in their practical joke battle, and Father Mulcahy is desperate to receive a promotion.
- The O Club just celebrated its one year anniversary...and now, it must be rebuilt. The guys are so hung over, they seem to be hunting loose change on the ground. Margaret is jubilant: her half of the marital funds have been unfrozen. Father Mulcahy is not happy; he was passed over again for promotion. Margaret starts a fun food fight with Hawkeye. A helicopter makes an emergency landing; Capt. Toby Hill, the Army hero, impresses Margaret with his flying. Chuckles stirs the pot, inciting Margaret to retaliate toward Hawkeye and BJ and vice versa. Father Mulcahy learns Capt. Hill was promoted from 2d Louie to Captain in 6 months and he is rightfully miffed. The pranking, all orchestrated by Chuckles, is getting out of hand. Capt. Hill gets an emergency call to retrieve one casualty from Hill 503. Since Chuckles' last prank put "Little Mac," Capt. Hill's helicopter counterweight, out of commission, Father Mulcahy bravely offers to fly with Capt. Hill and the wounded GI. The pranking has escalated to such a point, there may not be a safe return.—LA-Lawyer
- The O Club just celebrated its one year anniversary...and now, it must be rebuilt. The guys are so hung over, they seem to be hunting loose change on the ground. Margaret is jubilant: her half of the marital funds have been unfrozen by her lawyer who forced Donald to do so. Father Mulcahy is not happy; he was passed over again for promotion. Margaret starts a fun food fight with Hawkeye.
A helicopter makes an emergency landing; Capt. Toby Hill (Peter Palmer), the Army hero, impresses Margaret with his flying (Toby landed a helicopter in the middle of the MASH unit as his patient woke up mid air and tried to take a walk) (315 casualties flown out of combat zones so far). Whenever Hill has to fly a single casualty, he keeps a dummy counterweight in the other chopper pod. Chuckles stirs the pot, inciting Margaret to retaliate toward Hawkeye and BJ (for the food fight in the mess tent, and for humiliating her with a blob of oatmeal in her hair) and vice versa. Winchester sends prank letters to BJ and Hawkeye (filled with talcum powder for eg), but makes it look like Margaret sent it by telling them both that Houlihan was gloating about her victory to him.. Then he makes it look like BJ and Hawkeye played a reverse prank on her, when she is humiliated in front of Toby Hill as she is made to believe that Toby asked her out (by sending her a lemon meringue pie in the mess, actually sent by Winchester via Klinger), which he didn't. Winchester incites Margaret to steal BJ and Hawkeye's clothes when they are bathing, and they have to run naked to their tent, being cheered by all nurses.
BJ and Hawkeye put Toby Hill's counterweight dummy in Margaret's closet and scare the living daylights out of her. Houlihan beats the duo out of her tent, when they come in to gloat. The pranks, all orchestrated by Chuckles, is getting out of hand. He suggests that Houlihan blow up their still.
Father Mulcahy learns Capt. Hill was promoted from 2nd Louie to Captain in 6 months (which is basically a double promotion in 6 months) and he is rightfully miffed. He asks Potter to escalate the matter to I-corps, to which he agrees. But even this doesn't help and still Mulcahy has no promotion. Capt. Hill gets an emergency call to retrieve one casualty from Hill 503. Since Chuckles' last prank put "Little Mac," Capt. Hill's helicopter counterweight, out of commission, Father Mulcahy bravely offers to fly with Capt. Hill and the wounded GI. Potter puts Mulcahy in for a commendation which puts him at the top of the list for the next round of promotions. The pranks have escalated to such a point, there may not be a safe return. Margaret says she has written a letter to BJ's wife Peggy telling her about their year long affair. BJ grabs her by the throat. Winchester admits all the pranks were done by him and he never thought these practical jokes would lead to such problems. Winchester realizes that this was a joke by all 3 on him to admit.
