“Abyssinia, Henry”
My heart breaks every time I see the episode, “Abyssinia, Henry”, because that’s when the incredible, kind, humble, hysterical Lt. Colonel Henry Blake dies. Blake’s death was kept a secret from the entire cast until that final scene of everyone in the OR room when Radar reads the tragic words out loud. Gelbert kept it a secret so that they could capture genuine sadness and raw emotion from the cast. In fact, the only person who did know that Blake was leaving was Alan Alda. Fun fact, the producers received about 1,000 letters from heart broken fans.
