And cool that your daughters love the "Song of the Petalers" episode; I really enjoy that one too... there's something so emotional and uplifting about the "moral"; it made it a real good one to watch with the kids.
We also had to deal with two big losses last year. We (parents) never used the episode as a tool to deal with all that happened, though, but the girls did a whole of reading between the lines on their own. There's no way it wouldn't have touched our hearts.

However, on occasion, you'll come across a series that leverages fillers for the purposes of the story line, infusing what could be a weak episode with enough care and meaning, that if the audience skips it, they will miss something critical to understanding subsequent episodes.
One can argue that S1 contained two fillers: SOTP and TD&TD. Yet, both were strong offerings that subtly pushed the arc forward while infusing emotion toward all of the main characters, even though most of them were off screen. It's difficult to achieve that level of story telling, especially in a first season, let alone one doused with all the hyper-expectations that inherently bind a reboot.
All that is to say that S1 was nothing short of a winner. I hope we can enjoy the same and even higher level of storytelling and quality in the upcoming season.
Funny how those two filler eps are the ones most people quote as favorites. Although they are also the ones most other people quote as "hated them"
