Braceface: Sharon goes on her first date with Alden and ends up having to work like an employee in his family's restaurant. If that wasn't bad enough she gets her first period while they are rollerblading! Thinking that Sharon could be having an appendicitis attack, Alden (who has his own problems controlling a cracking voice) calls for an ambulance. Sharon has to find the strength to face Alden and come to terms with the changes happening in her body. When Sharon learns that Nina is jealous that she got her period first, she starts to wonder if there might be something worthwhile to "becoming a woman" after all.
