A pretty French Red Cross aid comes to the camp. She is refined and interesting and Charles is smitten. He is a Francofile and they stay up all night talking about museums and sights in Paris. He realizes he is in love and she feels the same way. There is no problem in his mind that he has found "the" person after a couple of days, but it is her past that proves to be a problem. He has to search his soul and must act in a way that has to do with his heritage, his family, and his upbringing. This proves to be one of the saddest of the episodes, but it allows us to see how our implicit being overrides our desires. At least they sometimes keep us from happiness.

Thanks to one of the user reviewers, I learned that Melinda Mullins, who guest starred in this episode as Winchester's love interest, later married Joshua Bryant who himself was famous for playing Scully (Houlihan's love interest). According to Wikipedia they married in 2005. Mullins plays Martine LeClerc, a French Red Cross official. Ironically, Mullins and Bryant now live in France.

Melinda Mullins, as French nurse Martine LeClerc, limns the character with the professional training and personal verve that has brought her roles from Broadway to Off-Broadway to regional theatre and, of course, on TV -- from Law & Order to What About Bob? to Remember WENN.

She earned a BA in the romance languages from Mount Holyoke College; she also studied at the Juilliard in New York, and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique in Paris. Melinda also writes screenplays and short stories and is married to actor/author Joshua Bryant, who appeared as JACK SCULLY on M*A*S*H; they live in France.

On Broadway she created the roles of Merry Chase in Mastergate; Scilla Todd and Ms Buttolph in Serious Money; and Liza in Sherlock's Last Case.

Off-Broadway and regionally she has played in Shakespeare as Lady Macbeth; and in Midsummer Nights Dream, Titus Andronicus, Twelfth Night, The Play's the Thing, and Measure for Measure -- also in John O'Keefe's Wild Oats. and the mini-series Amerika.

Her awards include the 1986 B.H. Barry Stagefighting Prize; a Screen Actors Guild Award Nomination in 1996; the 1999 New York Festival Award for Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series; and Chicago's International Television Festival award for Outstanding Achievement in Acting.
