Izzy's daughter

I was wondering, how is it possible that Izzy's story about her daughter would start and end like that: in only one episode we learn that she actually HAD a daughter when she was 16, that she is ill with leukemia and doesn't want to meet her personally. The next minute (in France we get three episodes in a row, fortunately!) Izzy is having fun with the others at Burke's apartment, while learning in a sort of quiz contest for the final test. It's simply unreal! I think, there's much more potential on that story there, like making her pregnant with George's baby in the season 4, and then (due to her past) not being willing to give it up, although it might be problematic (Callie and so on...) I was quite disappointed in the end. Anyone felt like that?
