Winchester hesitates during a surgery, but when pushed to action, he performs a remarkable surgery and does heart massage, bringing the man back to life. Soon a reporter from Stars and Stripes shows up to feature him in an article. Of course, all the others do everything to diminish the effectiveness of the interview. Soon, casualties start to roll in in large numbers. Charles starts to show off for the reporter. He even picks a particularly difficult case during triage. He feels that once news gets out, he will be snatched up by some general in Tokyo. The whole routine starts to get really sickening. Hawkeye notices that one of the patients Charles worked on is bleeding, and he needs to go in. A suture line is leaking and it's Charles's fault.

Margaret on the rebound big time
safenoe8 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Here Margaret is on the rebound following her messy divorce from Donald (who only made two appearances in M*A*S*H). She decides to become "liberated" by having a fling with a visiting Stars and Stripes journalist. The journalist thinks their relationship can be more than a one night stand, but Margaret feels liberated that she is an independent woman, well before woman's liberation came to the forefront.
The A Plot Was Good, the B Plot Wasn't

Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, Charles again shows himself to be not only a better surgeon than Frank Burns, but also a better person. Seeing Hawkeye fix his mistake is the slice of humble pie he needed.
Margaret, meanwhile, is going through a messy divorce. I feel bad for her, but I also feel like, "Well, that's what you get for marrying a guy before really getting to know him." As is typical for all MASH characters, Margaret drowns her sorrows in booze. She starts to hit on BJ, but he remains a good boy. She's then wooed by the visiting Captain Greenleigh, and takes him back to her tent. He's hoping to start something with her, but she reveals the next morning that she simply used him to make herself feel better as a divorced woman.

Major Winchester's Reality Check!!
ellisel5 May 2010
"Major Ego" dealt with Major Winchester's realization of his skills as a surgeon. Captain Greenleigh made a visit to the MASH 4077th to conduct an interview with Major Winchester. Colonel Potter obliged to comply with Stars and Stripes' request to have the interview at the camp. Major Winchester was about to have his interview with Captain Greenleigh in "The Swamp." The only problem: Captains Pierce and Hunnicutt were intruding into his discussion with Captain Greenleigh; therefore, Major Winchester told them to stop meddling into his life. The end of Act One had Major Winchester posing in front of the camera for his picture. His photo would earn him a spot to Tokyo for reassignment -- or so it would seem a reality for him.
The beginning of Act Two had Major Winchester doing an operation on a patient named Martinez. More specifically, the operation in surgery was in and around his stomach and in and around his kidneys. He was acting a bit sarcastic about his strength in surgery. Later, he and Captain Greenleigh entered the post-operation recovery area for a visit with his patients. Captain Pierce had different ideas about Major Winchester's patient. Major Winchester would claim that excessive drainage was prevalent in a patient from the conclusion of an operation. In addition. Major Winchester was not convinced that he missed an obvious bleeder inside Martinez's stomach.
Major Houlihan had a crisis of her own. Her soon to be ex-husband Donald Penobscott was not sending her money to the MASH 4077th on a monthly basis. Colonel Potter wanted to lend her some money during her crisis. She declined the offer. She would later have a talk with Captain Hunnicutt inside the Officers' Club about how men stunk in general. A cup of coffee was the best redress Captain Hunnicutt offered to Major Houlihan in her situation with Donald Penobscott.
Captain Pierce would have Martinez return to surgery. He found the bleeder that Major Winchester obviously missed in surgery. He was convinced that his surgery skills were in some doubt. Captain Greenleigh was ready to send the article to Stars and Stripes about Major Winchester's excellent operation on Martinez. He would rip up the notes; therefore, the article would not be printed at all for fear of it being a lie. In the end, Captain Pierce told him he was a total boar in terms of his ego. On the other hand, he was a sensible person for maintain some degree of integrity. A Solid 9!! Highly Recommended From The 1978-1979 Television Season!!
