Holy shit, is this a good episode of M*A*S*H. Oh. M'god.
Oh m'god. So Charles performs a "miracle" in the O.R. ("Ah, how long will it take everyone to realize- EVERYTHING he does is a miracle!"- Phangerl Celly) and everyone is duly impressed. Well, DUH. /phangerl
Anyway, Maxie the Cute comes in on mail call and puts his arm around Charles the Awesome and tells him good job, essentially. Charles says, "Thank you, Klinger. Never touch me again." Ah, but you know it was just a cover. ;) Anyway, Margaret gets some bad news that that wacky, wacky Donald is holding their joint bank account, which is mostly her money. She is a wee bit pissed.
Well, she's bitching to Potter about this issue, when a guy comes in who's rather impressed with Margaret's stunning good looks. Since I forget his name, we'll just call him Cap'n Nondescript. Finally Nondescript tells Potter that he's here to write an article about Charles the Kickass and his Amazing Operation of Salvation (TM), which doesn't surprise Potter at all. He's a little bit wary of letting the article be written because of Charles' chronic head-swelling and the fact that the other doctors need to breathe without Helium-head filling the entire OR, but what the hey. (I'm so mean.)
So Charles is "helping" Cap'n Nondescript write his article, and Hawk and BJ aren't being at all helpful. ^_^ Charles gets pissed and Nondescript takes a picture of all 3 looking like asses, and then who should waltz in but Scarlett O'Hara, aka Maxie, the prettiest little girl in puppetland. He insists that Cap'n Nondescript write an article about him instead, dressed as big movie icons. Charles hates this a lot, but it's Incoming Wounded to the rescue.
In the OR, Charles is being unusually asshat-ish and Cap'n Nondescript wanders off, paying a bit too much attention to the Major... Major Houlihan, that is. Charles notices that Nondescript is gone, but then someone comes in and Hawkeye's all set to take him, but then Potter decides to give him to Charles, which puts Hawkeye into "This sucks, what about me?" mode.
Later on, Charles and Nondescript are talking to Miracle Boy, aka Charles' patient. Miracle Boy has the absolute GALL to try and describe his own life to Nondescript, and this infuriates Charles beyond measure. Meanwhile, Miracle Boy II- The Wrath of Hawk (in other words, Charles' other patient) is lookin' bad, and Hawk is concerned. Charles' head, by this time, has detached from his body and is floating next to Henry's desk from season one, and how DARE Hawkeye make him do his JOB in the middle of an INTERVIEW, but he finally goes to investigate and decides that all is well, even though it's clearly not.
Well, Margaret's still furious about the money and poor Potter is the one to deliver the bad news that Donald still has all the money even after having his ear chewed off. She rips her clothesline down and screams with rage.
Later on Margaret is sitting in the officer's club having BJ serve her drinks and telling him how cute he is (eek!) when Nondescript gallops in and asks to buy her a drink. Anyway, after he tells her how gorgeous she is and stuff, she goes back to her tent and tells him to join her in 5 minutes. BJ tells Nondescript that she's going through a bad time (aww) and then who should come prancing in but Maxie, dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Innit cute.
"Toto! Toto! We're going home, Toto! :D" *dog pops out of basket*
Meanwhile, Miracle Boy II is looking awful, and the next thing you know, Charles bursts into the OR and Hawkeye's operating on HIS patient OMG HOW DARE HE. Charles is pissed, but soon discovers that one of his sutures came loose and it was ALL his fault. He says, "I don't know how this happened" and Hawkeye replies, "Yes you do." Oh YEAH, HAWKEYE. CAUSE YOU NEVER EVER EVER MADE A MISTAKE THAT NEARLY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE YOU WERE DISTRACTED BY THE GUY WHO'S WRITING AN ARTICLE ABOUT YOU. *rolls eyes*
Well, Charles is sad, and after Nondescript has a great night with Margaret, he comes in and tells Charles that the article is done. He begins reading it, but Charles jumps to his feet and in his rage, tells Nondescript that the article is bullshit.
Nondescript replies with "so what? Who'll know?"
Charles says that HE will, and then proceeds to rip Nondescript's article into pieces. Nondescript is stunned, because that was probably expensive paper or something, and at that moment Maxie leaps in the door, dressed as someone who looked like Jackie O. but obviously wasn't. Nondescript gets pouty and says that he's not leaving without SOME damn article, so he decides Maxie's star-filled drag show would have to do. Charles sighs heavily and sits back down, deflating, and Hawkeye smiles proudly (since he was the one who pricked the balloon) and says that despite all of Charles' faults, he's all right. AWW. ;D
Okay. Now, did that episode kick ass or WHAT?? I feel like writing fanfic. FAN FUCKEN FIC. ROCK ON.
