Potter is excited to find that his son-in-law is visiting the camp (he is a salesman, sent to Tokyo). However, the Colonel finds that this young man has had a tryst with a woman in a hotel before arriving in the camp. The issue is what to do. Does he act to blow up the marriage and save his daughter from future abuse, or let it go? The second is that Charles has begun to snore so severely that his tentmates aren't getting any sleep. Of course, being the snobbish windbag he is, he denies that he even snores, because those of his pedigree would be made to appear common. There is a hilarious scene in Mulcahy's tent as he tries to see himself as a victim in all this. There is a third, much more serious issue, having to do with one of B.J.'s patients who is in danger of losing his leg. It contrasts the lesser issues previously portrayed.

Nine years before Basic Instinct

Warning: Spoilers
Denis Dugan plays Bob Wilson, who is Colonel Potter's son-in-law. Anyway, Potter learns Wilson had a hot and steamy affair (a heterosexual one) in Tokyo at some hotel, and he's not happy. But Potter confesses to Wilson that he had a fling in a previous war, and his wife didn't know.
This episode preceded Basic Instinct by almost a decade, and I guess if Strange Bedfellows was a black label DVD special, it would have contained explicit scenes of Bob and his partner in a Tokyo hotel room.

Deconstructing Harry

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.
