When I first saw this I had already heard that they were going to kill Henry off. With that said, there is a beauty in this episode. Those closest to Henry had a chance to do right by him. He had wonderful moments in this series. It's interesting that McLean Stevenson left so early. When the orders arrive we are so happy for him. His call to his wife and his little girl are stunning. And then there is the closeness between Radar and Henry. How many times did Radar trick Henry into signing papers or agreeing to something he couldn't even remember. It's true that he was incompetent and how he got to be a colonel is amazing, but he had some incredible lines and his comic timing was flawless. This episode sends MASH into an entirely different era.
