Clunky writing

Look it's a fine enough episode but I can't get over just how bad the writing in this episode is. AJ spends the episode talking about his report for school on DNA for the sole payoff that later on he can visit his grandma and out of nowhere say "Whats DNR? I had to do this report on DNA, but I heard dad and aunt parvati talking about your DNR. So is that like similar?... 'Cause that's what's confusing, like, DNA, everybody's got that... But DNA doesn't prevent coma's, does it?" Nobody is that dumb and it's all so that Livia can then be shocked and say "she thinks I should have a DNR?!!!" It was just terrible writing and such a clunky way of moving the story along. You would roll your eyes at that scene in a novella let alone a show that is considered to be one of the greatest ever made. It's a shame because otherwise I enjoyed the episode but wow was that part bad.
