My favorite Charles episodes include:
1) When he stayed with Hawkeye while he waited for news from the States on Pierce's sick father. I remember two lines in particular. "I have a father. You have a dad;" and the toast at the end. "To our fathers. And their sons."
2) When Charles stood up for the stuttering soldier, and we later learned that his sister Hanoria stuttered in a tape she sent him. Actually, I also liked the episode where he took an interest in a soldier who was a concert pianist and whose hand was permanently injured in battle.
3) When Charles gave sweets to the orphan children, anonymously, and later learned that they were sold on the black market. Charles was angry at first but then learned that they were sold to buy a month's supply of rice and cabbage. He said to the director of the orphanage. "It is very inappropriate to give desert to a child who has not yet had dinner." We also learned that his family has a tradition of going out on Christmas and doing acts of charity anonymously.
