I really like Alicia and think she could have been a reoccurring character. It would have been good for Clark to have a proper relationship with someone and if they didn't decide to turn Alicia into a psycho stalker then she could've been that someone. Her and Clark had great chemistry.
That being said, the episode was enjoyable! The first two acts were good, the awkwardness when Jonathan caught Clark and Alicia (although I thought his parents were way too harsh on Clark), even the quick psycho trajectory of Alicia kind of worked. The last act which involved Lana lost me however, and felt like it was just another pointless excuse to have her be the damsel in distress.
The last scene with Lionel though! Really love seeing snippets (and sometimes more than snippets) of his evilness.
