I consider a lot of the episodes filler because of how little they actually contribute to the overall plot of the show. Yeah, Rebecca likes to sprinkle in some character insight/development and add a few extra stuff to make sure no episode contributes nothing, but let's be honest: what was really gained from T-Shirt Cannon? We already knew Buck and issues with his dad. Now we know how their past relationship was and that Dewey seems to care for Buck, but that all could've been tied in with another episode dealing with the same issue. This kinda just drags Buck's side story out.

The only thing we learned in Open Book is that Steven finished reading a series and we got very minor development on Steven and Connie's relationship (as in, nothing really, but scenes from this episode will likely play during a clip show about them).

I like the analogy with school but are you aware how many days of school you can skip without really missing anything? How many days of school that feel the same? How many days of school that are utterly forgettable?
