Complete story — includes the ending

Trying to be a bigger part of David's life, Joan attends his basketball game, which causes her to arrive late at the airfield to supervise the offload of a jet commanded by Air Force Colonel Kat Young ( Brooke Shields ). This gets Joan into hot water with General Holden, though Kat herself later causes friction with Michael. After a conversation with Jackie, Gloria tries to break things off with Patrick Clarke via email, but Patrick discovers his mom has intervened and pleads with Gloria to leave the door open for a possible relationship. Patrick and Eddie Hall take command of Firebase Reno, and Eddie's reputation as a hard-line sergeant precedes him. Meanwhile, Maggie tries to get closer to her stepdaughter, Caroline.
