I honestly enjoyed the tension between Rei and Manaria in this episode because it finally gave Rei the push she needed to truly fight for her love for Claire. I honestly didn't expect that kind of plot twist near the end about Manaria, but it made every action she did against Rei to be much more entertaining and funny. The only thing I found a little unfortunate was that the season ended in a way that felt somewhat unfinished, especially if the anime was only intended to have one season.
