I literally just watched 'House and Garden' last night in my rewatch/actual full watch of the DCAU. Reading some of the trivia about that episode the wrtier was surprised at what Fox allowed to be included. Keep in mind this originally came out in 1994, 30 years ago, and was/is still a cartoon aimed at children.

Paul Dini has noted that Pamela's sterility was inspired by Denny O'Neil's "Poison Tomorrow." "I picked up on it," Dini remarked. "If her body rejects all infection or outside contamination, her body is a self-contained little hyper-immunity system, so she can't get pregnant." Paul feared that Fox may pull the plug on the episode due to this subject matter. "I thought Fox would never even let me hint at her sterility."

Yep. I remember watching that episode when it aired -- that one and the one where Two-Face kidnapped "Harvey" (himself) are two that really stuck with me given how they explored the pathology of coping with trauma in the only ways that seemed to make sense for perpetually broken people.

I also usually refer people to that episode with Ivy to bury the misguided notion that Poison Ivy was "always a lesbian", because she obviously was not.
