"If you want to symbolize what you're doing here, bury an empty box."
There is a party in the officers' club and BJ pulls a prank on Rizzo. Rizzo, hoping to get revenge gets a dud grenade from Igor. When BJ is in the shower, Rizzo scares BJ with the grenade and BJ runs out of the tent naked. Later, Winchester makes Rizzo mad and Rizzo attempts to play the same joke on the Major. Winchester, instead of running, just falls on the grenade. It turns out BJ has conspired with Winchester to do this. Father Mulcahy sends some Koreans to a refugee camp without their daughter. Then a Korean woman, Soon Lee, is brought in accused of shooting a soldier. After Colonel Potter clears her of this crime, she tells Klinger that she is looking for her parents. Father Mulcahy rushes her to the refugee camp only to find out that the parents and daughter don't match. When wounded come in, the doctors learn that a chopper is missing. Finally, it shows up at the 4077th with a broken fan belt and a destroyed radio. The doctors learn from Private Stoddard that the pilot had flown him to the hospital by two hundred yard leaps. Meanwhile Winchester is reading about a time capsule in a newspaper. Margaret suggests that they bury their own time capsule. Everyone makes jokes about it, but Hawkeye wants to help. When Margaret finds out that Hawkeye is only collecting "meaningless" stuff, she refuses to let him help, so Hawkeye starts his own capsule collection. When Margaret is burying her capsule, adding Army boots and a spark plug, Hawkeye comes in with his and shows Margaret that it is not all meaningless stuff. Hawkeye adds to Margaret's time capsule the fan belt from the chopper, Radar's teddy bear, a fishing fly of Henry's, Father Mulcahy's boxing gloves, a bottle of cognac, and one of Klinger's dresses.
Trivia: What did Colonel Potter want to have buried? What of his actually got buried?
The story about Soon Lee is a prologue to the final episode. There is a tribute to Henry Blake, and, at the end, one last jab at Frank Burns. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Connie Izay, R. N. technical advisor 1977-1982. This is the final episode produced. As with the last seven produced episodes, this one was done entirely in the studio because, during the filming of "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen", the location set burned to the ground from a forest fire.
Oksun Kim played the Korean mother who let Henry Blake hold her baby in "Showtime" (S1). We last saw Chao-Li Chi as a dying father in "BJ Papa San" (S7). Mark Herrier was Billy in all of the "Porky's" movies. Rosalind Chao was familiar as Miss Chung on TV's "Diff'rent Strokes". She would star in the final episode of M*A*S*H as well as every episode of "After MASH". Since then, she would play Keiko, the wife of Chief O'Brien, on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
This was a good setup for the final episode. The character of Rizzo gets some fleshing out right at the end.
