Lynette Mettey returns to the series in this episode as a new nurse, Sheila Anderson. Mettey was previously seen as recurring character and love interest of Hawkeye, Nurse Nancy Griffin, in season one. She and Hawkeye had a relationship until "Ceasefire" (March 1973), when she dumped him after he told her he was married in an effort to provide an excuse for why he couldn't marry her after the war. This is the only time she appears as Sheila Anderson, although she pops up in two later episodes as Nurse "Able" and Nurse "Baker", both frequent names given to various nurses throughout the series.
