There is lot of insides on the background of the main characters. This is NOT A Filler but a setup for a character arc of many characters, like peacemaker's father, peacemaker himself. Here we also see leota's role in the show and whole lot more!
When james gun told the show is going many places, from first 3 episodes never thought the show is going to go dark as in drama. Gun also said not to drop all 8 episodes at once to hbo, now I understand why. People would have misinterpreted the series in a binge watch. Someone is already labelling this episode as a filler, when this is about the motivation and laying the building ground for the reason of their actions.
