Having to develope characters does not depend on whether or not they ever interact with each other again. Developing characters is about establishing connections between the said characters. A filler episode would have no impact on the entire plot and overall relationships of the characters if it were removed. Remove this episode, and you remove the newly established connections of Connie, Lapis, and Peridot (also Pumpkin).

Do not label an episode as filler because of its plot, label it by whether or not the episode establishes anything within the world of the show especially if it proves crucial later on in the show.
