Me being who I am, I actually like the B-story involving Radar in this episode, but I do agree that while at the same time, it did come across as tired and repetitive, especially considering the plot had been done twice before (Radar vying for Lieutenant Anderson’s affection in “Love Story” (1×14), and Lieuntenant Simmons’s in “Springtime” (3×06), the only difference was Nugent seemed to be a better match for Radar – he had nothing in common with Anderson and was at a loss conversing with her about Tolstoy and Baaaach, and he got the hots for Simmons after seeing her in a bikini, but Nugent was so demure and sweet and actually sought friendship with him, even though he was so preoccupied with trying to impress her that he was oblivious that.
But, as far as the A-story goes, it was kind of amusing what the others were going through having to put up with Margaret: first they saw she was dead from the neck up from her divorce decree that they tried to loosen her up with a round of drinks in the Officer’s Club, but then, once she found herself, and initiated her own nurse triage program, they then felt like they had created a monster. Also surprised you didn’t mention that Margaret brought up the spirit of Frank in this episode too. I do like how Margaret told off Weiskopf for misinterpreting her invitation as another chance for them to have a good time, when that’s not what she had in mind at all.
There’s just ONE thing about this episode I don’t understand: Hawkeye, B.J., and Margaret each got considerably drunk in the Officer’s Club, but then just a VERY short time later, Margaret is completely sobered up as she wakes Potter up to tell him about realizing the Army is her life and career… but then the following morning, Hawkeye has a hangover while taking a shower… so how did Margaret sober up so quickly, yet Hawkeye had a hangover?
