February 28, 1983: Father Mulcahy gets an unwanted souvenir from the war
Word of an impending cease-fire causes an escalation in fighting, with the 4077th becoming innundated with casualties and prisoners of war alike. It eventually becomes a target, and as bombs fall on the compound, Father Mulcahy runs out to free the POWs, who are at risk as they are being held in an outdoor enclosure. He succeeds, but is felled by a bomb blast. Turns out he has no major injuries, but he is now deaf.
For the rest of the episode, Mulcahy fakes it as best he can, hiding his condition from all but BJ, who diagnosed the hearing loss. With the war over, he plans to return to Philadelphia and minister to the deaf. He apparently doesn't do that for long, as he shows up on AfterMASH to get an operation to restore his hearing, and winds up staying to work with Potter and Klinger at a VA hospital in Missouri.
