Gunny's apartment is robbed. She seems matter-of-fact about it, but when she overreacts to someone not returning her pen, the Major sits her down to explain it is understandable to be upset about unfortunate events.
9420"Conduct Unbecoming"Michael LembeckManny Basanese & Carrie HonigblumApril 2, 1993 (1993-04-02)6862114.3[97]

Robin's new boyfriend is the son of another Marine officer. However, when the boy gets cut and Mac offers to dress the gash, he sees strange marks which lend evidence of abuse. The Major sees the boy's mother acts like a Stepford wife, so he asks Polly's help in getting her to open up. In a subplot, Lt. Holowachuk tries to fill his basketball team but finds complications when General Craig wants to play — and no one wants to guard him because he is the general.

NOTE: Gerald McRaney and Nicole Dubuc, out-of-character, tell families about the rough nature of the episode in getting younger viewers to understand.
9521"General Disturbance"Michael LembeckLiz SageApril 9, 1993 (1993-04-09)6861712.5[98]

General Craig and Lt. Holowachuck are transferred to the White House. The new general is a stern disciplinarian whose aide behaves sycophantically. The new base commander has no tolerance for the Major's easygoing style of leadership, and creates extra work for Gunny with such minute details as ordering she dispose of colored thumbtacks. The Major and Gunny realize it was a good environment under General Craig and would give anything to work with him again.

NOTE: This was the last episode shot, but debuted out of order as the penultimate. As such, it is considered the series finale.
9622"Oops, a Daisy"Michael LembeckJim Evering & Rick Hawkins & Barry GoldMay 17, 1993 (1993-05-17)6862217.9[99]
Casey has her 10th birthday and the Major gives her a Daisy rifle that he once owned as a little boy. This angers Polly, who does not want him teaching their daughters about shooting, whereas the Major protests he is passing on something he enjoyed.
