I can't think of any that were worse.
Maybe the painted lady, but it would be cutting pretty close.
The Painted Lady was the one that came to mind immediately. Any Katara-heavy episode that doesn't also involve either Sokka or Toph just as heavily is automatically bad (unless it features a Bloodbending psychopath). The Great Divide was also pretty terrible.
Honestly, though the love rectangle elements were pretty yuck this wasn't an especially bad episode for me. Like I said before, the romance wasn't as noxious as I assumed it would be, and the Pro-Bending broke it up well enough. I would actually say the episode right before it was worse. Blah blah task force blah blah very little action blah blah pretty yet one dimensional love interest blah blah surprise Amon appearance that doesn't really go anywhere. End. At least this episode introduced some real conflict in both the physical sense (Tahno) and in the emotional sense.
