"Tankin'
it to the Streets"
Episode KH610
Original Airdate: 3/31/02
Dale reads Bill's old Army medical files and finds out that the Army
performed tests on him many years ago. They realize that everything
wrong in Bill's life (e.g. weight gain, depression, wife leaving him)
is a side effect of the medical testing. Bill is relieved that someone
else is to blame for all his problems and gets drunk celebrating.
He later seeks revenge by stealing a tanker during a war games simulation.
The guys are determined to save Bill's military career by getting
the tank back to the base.
When they make it back to the base, Dale mentions the evil "placebo"
drug the Army tested on Bill. Hank informs him though, that a placebo
is a fake medication, and Bill was not a medical experiment and has
no one to blame but himself for his problems. Bill, however, doesn't
have time to mope because the guys have found themselves caught in
the middle of the war games. Bill devises a courageous plan for them
to escape. He tells the guys to climb out the bottom hatch and when
it's safe, he'll rig the throttle and climb out last. Bill miraculously
survives and reinstates some confidence in himself as a soldier.
