Sometimes a Deal Is More Than a Deal
Hitchcoc31 March 2015
B.J. gets a letter from his wife. She has an opportunity to purchase some prime real estate but he doesn't have the money. He is forced to borrow from Winchester which brings a great many obligations. The Major decides to take advantage at every turn, using the loan as a kind of weapon to get what he wants. Not only this, but the money B.J. is going to use to pay the jerk back won't arrive for a week, due to an accounting error. This leads to a poker game where Winchester becomes the target of some organized cheating. Charles begins to win, even though he is drawing four cards. Then they all come to a realization concerning Winchester's mannerisms.

The inner core of 4077th v Charles
safenoe12 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The inner core (Hawkeye, BJ, Potter, Margaret, Radar, Klinger, and Father Mulcahy) work to get their own back in a high stakes poker match against haughty Charles, who is loaded big time. One almost sympathizes with Charles.

Despite Margaret discovering her husband was two-timing her in the previous episode, she still talks to Potter in this episode about setting up house with him after the war. So the continuity seems a bit out of kilter here I guess.
