Guys- "Filler" doesn't mean it's a bad episode. Filler just means "This isn't a required watch in order to know what's going on in regards to the plot." Most Town episodes, Heck, more than HALF of Season one, can be considered filler. if it's an episode where we only learn one detail or something, like "Buddy's Book" or "Mindful Education", it can be considered filler. Don't give me the whole "There's no such thing as filler" deal- if all we get in terms of information is some minor trivia I can take 30 seconds to look up instead of sitting through 11 minutes of fluff, then it's filler (assuming it's an off-hand remark- this doesn't apply for huge reveals or intense character moments. I'm talking about things like "Oh, Blue Diamond left the Spider Seat on Earth", or "Hey, Stevonnie can flutter-jump", and that being the information we gain, and the rest is telling us things we either knew already, or could infer pretty easily, like "Steven feels bad about what he did to Jasper, Bismuth, and Ruby")

That being said, this is still a great episode regardless of being filler. Yeah, Mr. Smiley has nothing to do with the main plot, but it was still nice to see him get development- most shows wouldn't even bother with someone as minor as him!
