Frank is on a winning streak and he is a very giggly winner. At the 4077 club, Frank confides he has had his eye on Nurse Kellye for a long time; he asks her to dance and calls her a hotsie-totsie. Although Hawkeye and BJ manage to stumble back to the Swamp with Frank, they are both plastered.

At the time, the accepted way of testing for pregnancy was to collect blood or urine from the woman in question, inject the blood into a female rabbit, then after a few days, euthanize the rabbit and dissect it to check its ovaries for growth, hence the phrase "the rabbit died" becoming a common euphemism for a woman learning she's pregnant.
