"You brought a little light to a dark and dismal place. And you'll never know what you've meant to a bunch of very tired people stuck in a very strange time. Be happy."
A crying wakes up the doctors early in the morning. Winchester goes outside and brings back in a Korean-American baby girl. The baby soon turns everyone into babbling idiots. No one knows anything about her, but Father Mulcahy tells them that her chances of survival are almost zero in Korea because of Koreans' feeling towards mixed race children. Her only hope is sanctuary at a monastery. The staff, however, decide they want to get her out of Korea. They go to the Red Cross, then the Army, then the Korean government, and finally the U. S. Consulate. At each place they are told that nothing can be done for the child. Even Major Winchester loses his cool in front of the official he talks to. Finally, the staff is forced to choose the monastery.
Trivia: What does Klinger teach the nurses how to do?
Bonus: What does Margaret "donate" to the baby for clothes?
"This is my baby. She is good baby; strong, beautiful. Father American G.I. Gone now. Baby American, too. Please, doctors, care for her. I cannot, but I love her."
Potterism: Mule muffins!
When the milk is brought they call it "Chateau de Moo 51" referring to the year of this episode is supposed occurring in, 1951. Zale is mentioned as the inventor of the cradle though he hasn't been seen since "Goodbye Radar - Part 1" (S8) and is never seen again in the series.
This is Yuki Shimoda's second outing. Howard Platt is recognizable as Officer Hopkins on TV's "Sanford and Son". William Bogert had a recurring role on TV's "The Greatest American Hero" as Les Carlisle.
An OK, but somewhat depressing episode.
