[edit] Overview

As everybody gathers for the regular poker game (including visiting senior officers), a wounded intelligence agent is brought in to the operating room and Hawkeye must choose between standing orders against treating him (for fear the agent will divulge secrets under anaesthesia) or saving his life. Radar accidentally runs over “Whiplash Hwang,” a Korean who makes a career of faking injuries and filing personal injury lawsuits. This episode sees the first appearance of Colonel Flagg, albeit under a different identity (possibly a pseudonym). John Ritter guest stars as a soldier who takes Major Burns hostage to get home.
