It would only be necessary for a flashback-only episode or one of those where present day storyline goes nowhere, if something important is about to happen, and it requires a whole episode of flashbacks or an episode dedicated to give the viewers different ideas of what could happen next. The only episode that was a flashback-only episode was 9.02. 3.01, 6.15, 7.01, and 10.09 featured multi-flashbacks, but present-day stuff was still going on. 8.13 was the only full alternate reality and 10.17 has real-life stuff going on, but 90% of the episode was dedicated to the two paths Cristina can take.
