(December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> As peace negotiations continue during the Korean War, Hawkeye Pierce is being treated by Dr. Sidney Freedman at a mental hospital for a nervous breakdown . Sidney is trying to get Hawkeye to release repressed memories of an outing most of the 4077th staff attended at a beach near Incheon which appears to have led to the breakdown . At the beginning of the episode, Hawkeye remembers the trip home as having a party - like atmosphere with him calling for a bottle of whiskey to be passed to a person who "can't wait" to drink it . Sidney's questioning gets Hawkeye to remember that the person in question was actually a soldier who needed the bottle . Then he remembers that the bottle did not contain whiskey, but plasma, and the soldier was severely wounded . Hawkeye was actually yelling impatiently that "this guy can't wait". </P> <P> Through repeated counseling sessions, Hawkeye recalls that they picked up some refugees and wounded soldiers farther up the road as an enemy patrol was coming . The bus had to hide off the road and the occupants were forced to remain quiet . Hawkeye refuses to tell Sidney anything further, but then lashes out at two of his fellow patients for getting into a loud argument . Hawkeye says they were screaming like chickens and jokes about chickens taking the bus . Using that as a clue, Sidney digs deeper and Hawkeye remembers a refugee woman who boarded the bus carrying a chicken that would not stop clucking . </P> <P> Sidney begins to piece together what led to Hawkeye's breakdown . Hawkeye insists that he is perfectly fine, but Freedman reminds him that after returning to the 4077th, Hawkeye had accused an anesthesiologist of trying to smother a patient and then drove a Jeep through a wall in the officers' club and ordered a double bourbon . After more questioning, Hawkeye remembers telling the refugee to make the chicken be quiet, but when it suddenly stopped making noise, Hawkeye realized that the woman had killed the chicken to silence it . Hawkeye then breaks down sobbing as he remembers that the refugee woman was not carrying a chicken, but her infant child and had smothered her baby to death to silence it as Hawkeye had insisted . Hawkeye is initially angry at Sidney for making him remember, but Sidney tells him, "You had to get it out in the open . Now we're halfway home ." Hawkeye initially believes he will be sent home to Maine, but after more sessions, Sidney informs him he must go back to the 4077th and promises to check in on him . </P>
