I saw that episode as a 17 year old who had not yet gotten my period from a family of women who got it like clockwork before their twelfth birthdays. I freaked out because I knew that that had to be my issue, and I felt really awkward about telling my dad.
Gee, it would have been nice if it had occurred to me then, that the big problem most cis people would have with finding that out would not be an awkward conversation. But nope, that took over a decade.
