is bleach episode 268 filler?

Loly and Menoly are making their way up the tower. Loly is still intent on killing Orihime, but Menoly is having second thoughts; explosions can be heard in the background and she is visibly frightened.

When she voices her unwillingness to go after Orihime, she receives a slap from her partner. Loly reminds her that in light of what Sousuke Aizen said earlier -that Orihime has served her purpose- this is their chance to go kill her and get away with it.
