This episode is Terrible!
Anyone who was alive in 1983 remembers the series finale of M*A*S*H* as one of the best-written television shows in history.....Strange Bedfellows is a bump in the road to that amazing moment. Writer Karen Hall wrote some of the most poignant moments created for television, and this melodrama might actually have worked if it wasn't in a program that had ten years worth of material at this point.
This series is notorious for it's inconsistencies, factual errors and botched timelines, however, I take umbrage when a writer thumbs their nose at probability. For example, I found it too impossible that Potter's son-in-law Bobby would drop by to spend a couple days at a field army hospital during his business trip to war torn Korea. For Pete's sake, just writing that idiot plot in my REVIEW is appalling to me! But the chances of the Colonel finding out that Bob was being unfaithful to his wife is....as Potter would say, "Horse pucky!"
I was more annoyed that Colonel Potter reveals something about himself that is contrary to character. I suppose that this is what you do when you're out of ideas....you begin to deconstruct.
The subplot regarding Winchester's snoring is not bad, but I feel its the sort of thing that should have been explored when Charles first arrived at the 4077th..season six, or at latest seven.
