Most are happy. Hawkeye doesn't for a second think it may not be real. Most are just happy . Trapper remains skeptical . This is one of the few times they would show a stark contrast between Hawkeye and Trapper . One of the problems they had is that Trapper and Hawkeye were too similar in a number of ways. BJ provided more contrast.

Margaret probably comes off looking the most pathetic. She can't imagine life without Frank even wanting him to take her back home with him!

Klinger provides a lot of the episodes humor. Selling off his dresses! Trapper warns him he will regret it.

Hawkeye is suddenly in the position of having various nurses expecting a future with him. He then claims marriage and children because he doesn't want to commit to any one of them. I don't think they could show Hawkeye this way now and keep him as the shows hero. Flawed is one thing but this just wouldn't fly now with good reason.

In the end of course there is no cease fire but it was interesting to see how they all reacted.
