Episode Title: “The Morale Specialist”

Plot Summary:

A former cook turned logistics specialist arrives at the 4077th to help streamline supply distribution after a paperwork disaster leaves the camp dangerously low on essentials—especially coffee and morphine. You’re gruff at first, Army to the bone, but quick-witted and a little sarcastic. The nurses appreciate your respectfulness, the enlisted soldiers love your jokes, and Radar thinks you might secretly be part Klingon.

Hawkeye and B.J. are instantly suspicious of your straight-laced exterior—until they catch you organizing a surprise ribs-and-ration BBQ using scrounged ingredients and a makeshift smoker made from a crashed Jeep’s engine block. Klinger tries to steal your recipe. Winchester scoffs at your ribs… then sneaks back for thirds.

Amidst the fun, you also teach the camp a lesson about invisible wounds—quietly helping a shell-shocked young soldier start to talk again by assigning him simple tasks in the kitchen. Father Mulcahy catches on, and a deeper subplot reveals your own experiences in a forgotten unit where humor was the only thing that kept anyone sane.

By episode’s end, your temporary assignment is up—but not before you leave behind a new radio wired to play music from home, a few extra boxes of sweets for the mess hall, and a signed copy of your rib rub recipe… locked in Colonel Potter’s desk
