I have found that, whenever the producers wanted to showcase a relationship, they tonned down Clois, so that the other one would shine in comparison. The know Erica and Tom had lots of chemistry, so, they reduce their screentime together and they make their interaction extremely light, so that the other could appear to be hot.
That is what they did when they want to sell Chlollie, and that is what they did in this episode when they want to sell Cless. You are never going to see one episode that has amazing Clois with amazing other couple. They just don't do that. It is the same they do with Clark, when they want to showcase another character, they write him weak, so that the other character can shine.
It is bad writing for sure, but that is their strategy. *shrugs*
About the episode, right after I first watched it, I gave it a six. Now, that I have seen the only thing this episode did was to bring back Lionel, and I have found his presence made no sense so far. So, I regret not rating this lower. If I knew, back them, what I know now, I would have given it way less. Probably 3 or 4.
