Tag, You're It

Potter gets so fed up with Frank for his morose being since Margaret is away, that he entreats Hawkeye and B.J. to be nice to him and invite him into their circle. He is asked to play poker and is a total ass of a winner, giggling loudly and offending the other players. He also gets really drunk and the boys put a toe tag on him. While wandering around camp, looking for the latrine, he stumbles into the back of an ambulance and is transported to a unit on the front lines. Potter gets a call from these guys, saying they have an unconscious surgeon. Potter is furious and sends Hawkeye and B.J. to pick up the lost soul. They find themselves in the middle of intense shelling and work to patch up several soldiers. What happens to Frank shows that sometimes the good guys don't win, and that practical jokes may have a price to them.

Goofs
When Radar discovers that Frank is missing and asks Hawkeye and BJ if they've seen Frank, they ask Radar if he's checked Margaret's tent. He replies that he has, and that there is a big padlock on the door. However, when Margaret returns and Frank escorts her to her tent, she just pulls the door open and walks right in.
