For example, the episode where Superboy went off with Blue wasn't important in the grand scheme of things. It has the Partner (Black Beetle) being an evil jerk, but we already knew that. It had scarab being "not compatible" but again we know. BB admits he talks to scarab here, but we can easily fit the explanation elsewhere.

There has been at least one "Intergang does something that has little bearing on the overall plot" in each season. I tend to assume that means they'll have a larger role eventually and that those episodes will/would have more meaning retrospectively, escpecially considering that they're so linked with Apokolips.

They could certainly have tried to shove a B-plot in Earthlings and Cornered, but I don't think anything in season two qualifies as filler.
