Kirk surely had no say in this decision, as the episode was written by Owen Ellickson, but it's a funny coincidence nonetheless.

'You know Kirk, this whole subplot i wrote with Jim isn't really that important to the episode'

'No no Owen, i think it should be the main plotline actually. Lets cut everything else'

Turns out the A plot of the episode was suppose to be Creed and Meredith rekindling their affair but Kirk paid Creed $50 to mess up every scene so the producers had to switch it up.

Kirk's a chump, Creed would have done it for nothing

True, Creed's done a lot more for a lot less.
