"House Arrest" is the 18th episode in the third season of M*A*S*H. It originally broadcast on February 4, 1975.
In the OR, Margaret, nervous about an upcoming visit by a decorated guest, is not performing up to par and is continuously chided by Hawkeye. When going to get Hawkeye to stop and âÂÂdefend her honor,â Frank is struck by Hawkeye.
Hawkeye is placed under house arrest. The 4077th rallies around Hawkeye, bringing him steak, Red Cross care packages, and moving a movie showing into the Swamp. Frank finds himself ousted from his tent until, in a turn of events, an incident with the decorated guest leaves him under house arrest and thus stuck with Hawkeye.
Radar, meanwhile, has ordered platform shoes to alleviate jokes about his height. When Hawkeye finds out, he promises to cut out the short jokes.
