Susie,
I agree that there were a lot of things that weren't specifically told. This show required a lot of filling in I think. What I got out of it, some from some of the diologue, was that Rhade couldn't re-establish the CW because he represented the people that destroyed it. Second, he refused to accept the Neits as they were. So, he wouldn't let the Neits sign and those he wanted wouldn't because they didn't feel they could trust him. Dylan on the other hand was willing to let everyone in, even those that had destroyed his world, his life and time. He didn't represent the bad, he represented the better part of the old CW.
So, that's why I think Rhade was failing. I think this ep required us to use what we already knew about Dylan, his abilities, and his beliefs compared to what we heard Rhade say in ragards to those things. I could be wrong, but that's what I got from the ep.
