Klinger watches the ghost of Weston rise in MASH season 10 episode "Follies of the Living-Concerns of the Dead."
Summary The only episode of MASH to feature an out-and-out ghost features one of the show's most tragic endings. While the CBS medical dramedy was about as far from a horror show as it's possible to get, it occasionally dipped its toes into the genre. For instance, MASH's divisive "Dreams" explored the fractured and sometimes creepy dreams of the overworked 4077th. This included some haunting imagery, like an armless Hawkeye following down a river of prosthetic limbs.
21 MASH's "Follies Of The Living-Concerns Of The Dead" Follows The Ghost Of A Dead Soldier "Follies" is one of MASH's most melancholy stories What sets MASH's "Follies of the Living-Concerns of the Dead" apart is that the main story involves a ghost named Private Weston . The episode opens with Weston's corpse being driven into camp, with his spirit soon emerging from the body.
The Ending Of "Follies of the Living-Concerns of the Dead" Is One Of MASH's Most Devastating Weston is just one in an endless sea of ghosts for the 4077th MASH's "Follies of the Living-Concerns of the Dead" definitely leans more towards drama than comedy and even the normally quippy Hawkeye is in a foul mood for most of it. There's a coldness to this episode that's unusual for the series, and this only underlines the tragedy of Weston's plight.
More than that, nobody even remembers Weston's name, with the final shot lingering on Klinger pondering if he just imagined the whole thing. With this ending, MASH isn't suggesting that the 4077th don't care, it's just that they're so swamped by patients or dying soldiers that Weston's fate has become routine. There will be plenty of more soldiers and civilians cut down by the war, and to function, the 4077th have numbed themselves to the horrors surrounding them.
