At Colonel Potter's request, Hawkeye and B.J. are friendlier toward Frank while Hot Lips is on leave. They even invite Frank for drinks. But old habits die hard: when Frank passes out, Hawkeye and B.J. put a toe tag on him, which is funny until Frank is really shipped to the front lines.

90-Hawkeye
Hawkeye injures his head in a jeep accident. A family finds him and takes him into their care. He knows how dangerous it can be to fall asleep with a concussion, so he talks to the family non-stop in order to stay awake. Here's the thing: the Korean brood doesn't speak a word of English.
