Fallen Idol was one of the best episodes cause it deals with the close relationship between Hawkeye and Radar. Radar always sees Hawkeye as superhuman and could never fails in his eyes. Hawkeye encourages Radar to go off to Seoul and lose his virginity but on the way Radar gets shot and sent to the 4077 for surgery. Hawkeye operates on Radar then is wrecked with soul crushing guilt. Hawkeye attempts to overcome his guilt by getting so drunk he got sick and could not complete an operation and Winchester had to step in while Hawkeye throws up. Radar finds out about this and he is crushed to see his hero fails. When Hawkeye and Radar meets Radar expresses his disappointment and Hawkeye responds with anger and tells Radar to grow up and he is not here for his hero worship. Although it was awful it was a necessary thing to do cause Radar now sees Hawkeye as human. A fantastic touch at the end where Radar gets a Purple Heart and Hawkeye salutes him.
