Hawkeye meets an aristocratic Korean woman, a rich privileged person before the war. At first he has disdain for her until he sees that she has nothing and is holding her village together. She looks after her mother, who is quite ill, and helps the villagers farm and stay alive. She is beautiful and Hawkeye falls in love with her. In any other setting they could have had a life, but her soul is wrapped in little boys and girls whom she must make her first priority. This is a sad, heavy episode where to hearts passing in the night cannot be together long. There is a subplot with Margaret finding out that a newly transferred nurse has had a tryst with her husband, Donald.

It does stink!

Hawkeye finds the one woman who makes him go a little deeper than the jokes, humbles him without humiliating him. Loves him but doesn't try to change him.
Yes he was a bit quick to judge her before he knows her circumstances but he falls hard and must let her go. She is looking after the orphans they need her and she would never be happy leaving them behind.
Margaret learns a new nurse has having a tryst with her husband. She acts unprofessionally in the O. R. And Potter makes her leave and has nurse transferred (unfortunately for Margaret it's in Tokyo where Donald is ) Between this kind of thing and Margaret's short lived flirting with Charles I don't know why they bothered having her get married. It seems like she was just ready to marry someone and she thought Donald fit the bill . He doesn't but she's not ready to admit it yet.
Overall a rather serious episode but well written and acted. But it makes you wonder if Hawkeye and Margaret can ever find what BJ and Potter have.

POIGNANT EPISODE
sprynx13 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This episode succeeds in showing Pierce's vulnerable side as well as pointing out that his self-righteousness and presumptuousness isn't always appreciated or deemed warranted, particularly not by Potter.
Winchester has a small part in this episode and is not critical to the plot regarding Pierce's romance with a South Korean women who helps the local villagers or the secondary plot involving Margaret learning some inconvenient truths about her husband's infidelities . However, his brief appearance does do it's job in reminding us that he is the new antagonist of this series (although much more redeemable than Burns) as well being capable of being the new foil . The scene where Pierce reacts to Winchester's bigoted remarks about Korean food is great. I can have a field day imagining how it would have been if Burns was still in the series.

Kieu Chinh guest stars

Warning: Spoilers
This is a touching and heartwarming story of love and loss in the midst of a war. It's a case of love that won't endure after the episode. Kieu Chinh stars as Kyung Soon, a South Korean aristocrat, who cares for the vulnerable. Hawkeye falls in love with her, and tries his French speaking skills much to her amusement. Hawkeye and Kyung promised to write each other, and in an alternative universe maybe they can catch up and renew their romance.
