Well, to be fair

"Dewey Wins" presents a change in the town. We would have no idea how the change came to be without those ten minutes, as they also help Steven come to realize how Connie felt.

I didn't feel like "Gemcation" had much of a point but it sets up an excuse for Steven.

"Raising the Barn" also demonstrated a shift. . Also Peridot is depressed, which sets up for the events of "Back to the Kindergaten"

Um.. there's not much I can say about that one as far as plot. Character development???

"Sadie Killer" showed a development in Sadie's life, as she makes the big decision to, and potentially sets up for more character interactions within the newly founded band (unfortunately, it could just as easily be forgotten about entirely).

"Kevin Party" sets up the reunion for Steven and Connie (and lion!), but we've already cleared that as not filler, right?

Overall I do think it was kind of slow, Iand I personally would have preferred more developments, but ultimately (almost) every episode of this season was necessary.
