Yeah, sometimes a traditional filler setup, or an arguable filler episode, can help develop characters, expand the world, fill in gaps from source material, and even make narrative sense. If your characters are close to reaching their limits, a good dose of "shore leave" can be essential to their mental well-being, and it's nice to see them interact in a different setting, especially if they've finally gotten a break from prolonged stress and frequent combat.
