Why certainly!

Let's start with Together Breakfast! We get to see inside the character's rooms, but that was it. And that was a very minor detail that could've gone in with any other episode where Steven enters the temple. Steven shows that he rarely gets to do simple stuff like eat breakfast with the gems, but we could've figured that out for ourselves or in Rose's Room (which was borderline filler).

Serious Steven only escapes being called filler because of the images on the wall. Honestly though, it seems like that was just some clever foreshadowing being hidden in a filler episode, so you could still call it filler, but I wont.

Arcade Mania. Garnet gets possessed by a video games and plays it striaght for over a day. I do that all the time. I guess we learned of a weakness to Garnet's future vision but that's all we learned in the episode. If this weakness is gonna be critical to a plot point in the future, then THAT'S when we should've learned about it instead of giving us a whole episode where that's all that happens.

Beach Party. Meet the Pizzas. Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnddddddddd..... Pufferfish?

Secret Team. We get very little development on the whole PearlXAmethyst ship. The two work together to recapture gem shards. We also learn about gem shards and learn (or rather confirm) that Garnet can shapeshift. Problems? Well to start, we already knew that Pearl and Amethyst can and will work together when needed. Any form of relationship development was so little it could've just not happened (one conversation you have with your crush does not necessarily get you closer to xir). Gems Shards are nice, but it would've been better to learn about them when they became plot relevant. Pearl already said all gems can shapeshift, but seeing Garnet use this incredibly powerful and useful ability to pretend to kill them instead of seeing Garnet shapeshift to take out actual threats just makes me face palm.

Need more? I obvously said this wrong. Every episode you have listed has had stuff debut and therefor important because it is the first time we see it. Are there any episodes where LITTERALY nothing is established and literaly everying that happends in the episode has already happened, NOTHING new?
