Half hidden in the "background" of the 4077th, Izzy watched Hawkeye come
back, Father Mulchay lose his hearing, Charles teach the POW's how to play
home made instruments, saw the latrines get destroyed, twice, BJ come back,
Klinger fall in love with Soon Lee and the fights between Hawkeye and BJ.
She'd learnt long ago to let everything go as it was meant to. Finally, the
last meal in the Mess tent was held, where the rumours of the wars end was
confirmed and everyone stood up and said what they planned to do after they
got home. Izzy waited until last.
'I haven't been here as long as some of you, and longer than the rest of you. You all know have no home back in Australia, and you want to know what's going to happen to me,' Izzy said. 'In the last few days, I've been offered a few homes, by Colonel Potter, BJ, a few nurses, Charles, Hawkeye of course, and even Klinger who wants me to help him and Soon Lee to find her parents. But before I tell you my plans, I'd like to tell you how great you all are, because I might not get another chance to. I couldn't have made it in this war without all of you, and I'll miss everyone of you. Except Hawkeye, who I'm going home with tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll get to see you all in the States in the years after the war, well and with your families.' Izzy sat down, and gave a few grateful glances to the people around her.
Hawkeye, BJ, Klinger, Charles, Margaret, Father Mulcahy, Colonel Potter. Her heart ached to think that she'd probably never see most of them again.

Izzy watched everyone dive at the signpost, looking for their home towns. Klinger and Soon Lee had gone, and everyone else would soon be leaving. She picked up her rucksack and went to the signpost, where there were only two left. She picked up the "Sydney" one that had been added some six months before, leaving the one marked Seoul to be abandoned. Looking around, she saw everyone saying good bye, so she waited. Eventually, Hawkeye and BJ came over, and BJ offered them a ride on his motor bike to the chopper pad, where a chopper was waiting to take Hawkeye and Izzy to the Seoul airport then to the states. Up on the chopper pad, Izzy watched them hug each other good bye, and BJ speed down the hill on his bike. As the chopper lifted from the ground, Hawkeye refused to look back where BJ had been waiting.
'Look down,' Izzy yelled over the sound of the chopper. Grudgingly, Hawkeye looked down and gasped, seeing "Goodbye" spelt out in the rocks.
'He promised me he'd keep in touch and come see us as often as he was allowed,' Izzy shouted. Hawkeye, tears in his eyes, nodded to show he heard. Izzy sat back in her seat, wondering about her new life. Would it be exciting? Boring? Eventful? Funny? Long? Short? She didn't know, but she did know was that it was better than living off the street and she made the right choice coming back to Korea.
