- The 4077th deals with a sudden heat wave in their own personal ways: Nobody is able to get any sleep in their respective beds. Klinger disassembles the P.A. system, as he wants to train himself (he is taking a mail order course) in electronics as he reckons USA will need TV repairmen back home once the war is over. Its 3 AM and Potter warns Klinger that he wants the PA system to be working before sunrise.
Charles goes through all of his tax returns and bonds, Their CA has been imprisoned on account of fraud and embezzlement and now the IRS wants to audit the Winchester estate. Winchester's father has sent all the financial records to him, to sort them all out and have them prepared for the audit. He has laid out all the files on the kitchen tables (by year) and now needs carbon paper to make copies before people start coming in for breakfast. The hitch is that carbon paper is in Potter's safe. Finally Igor come in an hour before breakfast and turns on the fan, blowing all the papers away and ruining Winchester's night work.
B.J. stresses over a letter from Peg, but he wont tell Hawkeye what it is about. Finally opens up and says Peggy wants someone to clean the gutters, Hawkeye is furious for stressing over such a trivial thing. In the OR, BJ tells Hawkeye that Peggy might hurt herself as one of the ladder legs is broken (she might fall and break her neck). She might ask one of the neighbors to help (one is a lech and the other is likely to sue BJ for his injury from the broken ladder). The gutter cannot be left unattended else the rains would flood the basement. Finally she may ask a handyman Carl to come and fix it, who is 6 foot 4, and has burly arms.
Colonel Potter can't get a good night's sleep, so he takes a sleeping pill. At night a wounded soldier is brought in and Hawk and BJ operate. They want a helicopter to evacuate the soldier to a hospital by Morning, but only Potter can authorize that and he is fast asleep due to the sleeping pill. Klinger has to take a sleep walking Potter to his office to get him to order a chopper from I corps.
Margaret develops a severe case of prickly heat in her butt. The more she sweats the worse it gets. She doesn't want BJ and Hawkeye to know about it. She finds from the duo in surgery that a chopper is inbound to evacuate a soldier. Margaret wants to order some medicine (Camphor Menthol) for her prickly heat (as the 4077th is itself out of it) and for the chopper to bring it in. But only Potter can order that. Next Winchester wakes up Potter and takes him to the office, to open up his safe for the carbon paper. Next Margaret wakes Potter and takes him to the office to order the medicine to be inbound on the chopper. This is moment that Klinger fixes the PA system and Margaret's discussion with Potter re: her ass's prickly heat is broadcast all over the camp.
