In an episode about people of one gender who were unfortunately born into bodies of the opposite and, for them, wrong gender, the then-15-year-old actor Bridger Zadina anchors the episode with an excellent performance as a 13-year-old girl in a boy's body, and actress Daniela Sea is somehow utterly credible in a smaller role as a female-bodied 17-year-old boy, despite apparently having been 32 years old at the time. (In real life, Sea has come out as non-binary; I don't know whether that was before or after ths episode was made.)
The story itself works well too, as the whole crime is driven by a father's selfish refusal to accept that the son he loved is actually a daughter. (Frankly, there were times in the episode when I found myself wishing that his attempted murder had been successful.) More conservative audience members will probably hate this episode but what are you gonna do: in this case reality really *does* have a liberal bias.
(And also, as part of a red-herring sub-plot we meet an anthropologist who *really* goes the extra mile in her research.)
