1. Hawkeye's dad is in a panic after he has discovered via telegram that his son has passed away in Korea. Who does Mr. Pierce try to contact at the 4077th to verify his son's death?
2. After the phone call, Hawkeye, who has also been awakened by Klinger, sits with the swarthy corporal and chats with him about home. Where does Hawkeye claim his family has a 'summer cottage'?
3. After having sat nervously next to the phone for the rest of the night hoping for another call from his dad, Hawkeye decides to have a quick shower. On his way to the shower tent he encounters a lieutenant from the morgue detail of the quartermaster corps. What is this morbid chap's nickname?
4. It turns out that the lieutenant is after Hawkeye's body, as the army has pronounced the good captain dead. Hawkeye, who most assuredly appears very much alive, isn't willing to give himself over to the lieutenant just yet, despite the pleading of the latter. The lieutenant insists that he needs to bring back a body to the morgue; where does Hawkeye suggest he look?
5. Hawkeye takes his case to Colonel Potter, who, when Hawkeye arrives at his office, is being accosted and annoyed by a certain Ferret Face. What is Frank complaining to the Colonel about in this episode?
6. BJ makes the best of Hawkeye's 'death' by suggesting a wake for Hawkeye. Klinger interrupts the festivities by telling Hawkeye that he is still unable to contact his father. Why are the phone and telegraph lines down?
7. Sitting in the Swamp the morning after the wake, Hawkeye and BJ discuss Hawkeye's 'death' with Frank. Klinger arrives once again and has the same bad news; he can't contact Hawkeye's father.

9. Back in Colonel Potter's office, Hawkeye and the Colonel are visited by an army bureaucrat named Captain Pratt.

Which author (and book) does Pratt cite as the source of this term?
10. Hawkeye is finally able to get a hold of his father by the end of the episode, but not before his father has apparently already sold which of Hawkeye's belongings?
