I had no idea what this meant back then either, but I knew it would be something important. Especially with how Jasper described her previously.

It's why I can sort of understand why Pearl did what she did. Honestly, this is where I first started to feel sorry for her.

[@genjis5155]

Subtle yet devastating foreshadowing. I love this show's writing so much.

[@Jeremy_theGent]

Pearl is in Historical Friction very briefly, but she makes every moment count, the way she just shuts down Dewey without a word, then acts like the ultimate theater mom to Steven: "Hi, Steven! You're _so_ talented!"

[@prageruwu69]

she's so funny

I also like Steven's reaction. He's neither overly prideful at being praised nor is he overly embarrassed at his "mom" being so happy for him.

[@EnderKL]

The point of the Fusion Dances are to sync up If they’re already fully synced up the dance is pointless Hence some of them can just fuse in certain situations

[@GermanMR]

True, but in this specific situation, I don't think Pearl and Garnet were on the same frequency enough to fuse without a dance. But I understand there wasn't any other option, so the suspension of the credibility had to tank a hit

[@EnderKL]

@@GermanMR They definitely felt in sync here They both levelled their emotions and showed each other what they were feeling and agreed they had to move forward for both their sakes

Honestly a great part of this episode is that, right at the end of their trap, even when the walls are inches away from destruction, Pearl *still* made time to confirm consent. This could have been a "we're out of options, let's do it and roll out"- nope, it's an understated line that deserves more credit

I feel that Pearl should’ve just gone up and given Garnet an apology from the start, giving her space and time. But I get why she didn't. It’s fascinating to see how different people operate because of their experiences. I think because Pearl was in service of Rose for so long that she thinks the best way to earn anything is by doing things and that will make it better. But Garnet needs things more up front. This is the kind of communication issue I see with people in real life where their clashing personalities can make it hard to resolve things.

I really like that they draw out Pearl feeling bad and Garnet struggling to forgive her. It's very true to life. People don't just apologize and immediately get forgiven all the time. And fusion is such an intimate and personal thing to Garnet, and lying about it was a major violation.

[@tyeburch-bowser7311]

True, they probably couldn’t fuse until they reconciled the situation. Fusion requires harmony and synchronization. This is also why it was so easy for them to fuse when they were in trouble. They both had the same goal in mind.

[@Shuffle-Major-Arcana]

Watching you piece things together, is just like how it used to be for the fandom back during the original releases. These reacts make me so happy.

[@Krixwell]

The episodes from Cry For Help through Friend Ship were all released one per day from a Monday to a Friday as part of the third "Stevenbomb". The first was Rose's Scabbard, The Message, Political Power, The Return + Jail Break (released together on the Thursday), Full Disclosure (despite this episode being the start of the next season). The second was Sworn to the Sword, RT/CS, Keeping It Together, We Need to Talk and Chille Tid. This third Stevenbomb is far more notable than the first two (which I had to look up) because it's the first time the set of five episodes released in this manner were clearly written with a miniarc structure in mind. It's also the first to have a proper subtitle: the Week of Sardonyx. Cry For Help sets up the conflict. Keystone Motel, Onion Friend and Historical Friction show us how respectively Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl cope with it and how Steven helps them individually. Then Friend Ship resolves it properly. (It also has a special place in my heart for being the first bit of SU to come out after I caught up.)

[@BenDaresAll]

Oooo thanks for the Steven Bomb grouping info! There were only three?

[@Krixwell]

@BenDaresAll No, there were seven in total. The next one was the end of this season, and then there were two in season 4 and one in season 5.

13:43 Fun Fact! Rebecca Sugar clearly loves videogames since she incorporates easter eggs into the backgrounds and her characters' designs and mannerisms. Steven has a Gameboy and a GameCube, among other consoles. He also has figurines that are spoofs of different franchise characters, like a Raichu and Sonic. Plus, Amethyst and Jasper can do a Spin Dash, which is Sonic's move. Sapphire's design and ability to float was inspired by Princess Peach. There will be MORE in the future too!

[@davidthetraveler1466]

21:30 Word of God says that they did a finger dance to fuse together in that tiny space.

[@odinoco]

Steven Universe is one of the best examples of modern fantasy animated series that is willing to deal with the consequences of its character's actions instead of brushing them off or giving them a quick resolution, and I can't love it enough for that.

[@ChespinCraft]

To clarify about the fusion dance, it’s not strictly necessary to fuse but it helps align themselves with each other (which is a major component of fusion, being on the same page w each other)

[@Zuse246899]

When Paradot flies away like that its actually a refrence to the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of oz. And like-wise, it will show that Paradot, and techy gem like her, are actually weak to water and can actually get hurt by it. Thats why she is so terrified about being on earth.

[@twofacetoo75]

Just regarding the fusion thing, there's not anything still to reveal really, it's just that Garnet is a fusion all the time. Most gems only fuse when the situation calls for it (like Opal or Sardonyx), but Garnet CHOOSES to be fused all the time, because of how much Ruby and Sapphire mean to each other. Garnet's very existence is a testament to their love for each other. Hence, she / they (Ruby and Sapphire) took it REALLY seriously when Pearl was basically just exploiting them for the ability to fuse and nothing more, taking advantage of them for her own sake. That's why they were so upset, because fusion is EVERYTHING to them. Regarding the dance itself, it mostly just requires you be 'in sync' together, the dance is just to help that along and get the two of you to the same 'rhythm', so to speak. So it's possible Pearl and Garnet may not have actually NEEDED to dance that time.

[@ragg232]

Fusion is synchronization between two gems. Both physically and emotionally. You need to be on the same wave length. The fusion dances they created are just a way for them to easily get in sync if they're not.

[@lacynut]

Some answers to your questions can be found in the "Classroom Gems" shorts that I think were released by this point in the series. A true Steven Universe expert would know for sure..

[@tr1ckv4989]

21:39 Simple. Gems happen to be projected by their actual stone. These projections are special as they are actually “heavy” forms of light, which have generated mass. While this mass is quite durable, Gems may have to dissipate the form, so that they can recover within their own gemstone. This unfortunately makes them vulnerable to future harm, or encapsulation (like Lapis and the mirror). At this, if the stone is shattered, it’s basically death to its gem. That’s how they can be able to fuse in such tight spaces. This short describes it well!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJy8ZauMibuHi7Mfeature=shared

[@Relicsplace]

21:39 They never specifically say this but dancing for fusion is prob just a Crystal Gem tradition you just need to be harmonized for the fusion you dont need to do extra work you can just touch each other and fuse it can even happen in accident when both feel similiar emotions

[@MatthewJPrice]

Fusion is about alignment. You can be aligned by friendship, love, determination to escape a deadly trap. Dancing helps you become aligned, but a pair like these two certainly are capable of doing so with their significant history and coordination, and a shared immediate need.

[@italoribeiro3879]

10:24 So this will never be said in the actual series, but it was revealed by the Crewniverse that yes, this fusion from the stage play is the Temple Fusion.

[@shadowfromthestars]

Ah I remember when these last episodes had been released as a block of steven eps~ It's so fun to hear your theories!

[@fallingstar9643]

Amethyst has such an arc in this show; starting out as the devil-may-care slovenly weirdo and slowly maturing as she overcomes challenges both internal and external. Compare what you see now to what she was in early Season 1! Some characters learn things, some characters let things go, but generally their core characterization barely shifts. I would say that Amethyst is second only to Stephen in terms of character growth, and because she isn't as powerful as Garnet or involved in the plot as Pearl, this often gets overlooked. Amethyst has layers. Like a wee little purple ogre.

[@ArtblockInsomniac]

You know, a lot of times your theories just kinda go in wild directions but sometimes you say things that are so spot on. Cant wait till you see what you're right and wrong about!

[@lukeleshnitzel327]

I think communication is also a form of “dance” for the gems. They’re getting on each other’s wavelengths physically, being that they are made of light, and emotionally. That’s what sustains a fusion in my mind.

[@VI_VA.]

The way Pearl and Garnet looked at each other after Sardonyx unfused makes me wonder what was going on on each other's head through those few seconds, what was Sardonyx feeling? Could Pearl feel how hurt Garnet felt? Did Garnet feel how sorry Pearl was?

[@lasseehrenreich5502]

I'm guessing both

[@DeadMoon1986]

Cry For Help + Keystone Motel + Onion Friend + Historical Friction + Friend Ship The five part drama between Pearl and Garnet and all it effected. Needless to say, that week felt like one of the LONGEST 'Steven Bombs' to have aired.

[@Roler42]

This was by far one of my favourite arcs, I loved that it took this many episodes to resolve AND it also was layered with how each character was affected, how they learned to cope with it, and finally the payoff with the two having a talk. Best part is, this is only the appetizer, things are gonna get much more fun and intense with each passing arc!

[@mikayel6175]

Regarding pearl and garnet fusing in the small space. All the dancing rly achieves is getting the gems in sync with each other so they can become one. But if the gems r already in sync enough then they dont need to dance. Thats y the closer 2 gems r, the easier and quicker they can fuse. Like remember opal? Amythest and pearl still couldnt fuse even after dancing and trying to sync. But as soon as steven was in trouble, they fused instantly (presumably) and could hold it together for a while.

[@LimeG0ds]

Fusion can be done by becoming in sync, which is why dancing is a great catalyst for fusion, but thats not the ONLY way to fuse. The Crewniverse (peeps that made the show) actually specifically commented on how they fused in the box by doing a sort of handshake

[@fcass9973]

I love that Jamies swimming line as Garnet is a callback to Garnets line about being a great swimmer in the episode where he has a crush on her

[@katwim9169]

They don’t NEED to dance to fuse. It just helps with sort of sinking their energies up kinda

[@TheRhuen]

I'm just a pearl, I need someone to tell me what to do. Honestly this did throw me off the first time, forgetting the kindergarten with the numerous holes, usually when you have a show about a small group of non-humans, even if they are from space you generally only got one character per something if there was a theme, like even Dinosaucers or Thundercats, you didn't have like multiple sauropods or multiple tigers, even if story wise it would make sense, they kept it simple so as not to confuse the child audience. Gem wise, well jewelry wise, pearls are usually an accent, you either get a bunch of pearls such as a necklace or they are accenting another gem on a ring or pendant for example.

[@Phoboskomboa]

Dancing isn't necessary for fusion. It's just the easiest way to get in sync. Characters who are already on the same wavelength don't need to dance. Both times we've seen Ruby and Sapphire fuse up to this point, they were just hugging. Sure, they did a little spin the first time when they got back together on the ship, but when they fused at the motel, they were basically just kissing. If you remember the first time they showed Perl and Amethyst trying to fuse in Giant Woman, they were dancing in totally different styles and completely out of sync so it wasn't working.

[@midoriya-shonen]

Gods this cat and mouse game between the Crystal Gems and Peridot is so much fun ❤

6:43 this just makes me think of the specific point that, one thing I love on this show is that it like, would be really easy to make the gems especially these perfect characters, and it does a great job showing their struggles and insecurities throughout

[@Phoboskomboa]

I do love how you really start to see Amethysts maturity blossoming in these episodes. She goes from feeling bad about being left out of the fusion to understanding Pearl's motivation and defending her. Then, she seeks out Vidalia and talks through her problems. And while it was obvious how much Pearl was screwing up in this episode, Garnet was too. She was too angry to deal with Pearl effectively or even avoid being tripped up by her trying too hard, which should have been easy for her. Both of them were fumbling all over the place, and the whole time Steven is protecting the team and Amethyst is protecting him. It's the really subtle storytelling that you don't notice until a few watch-throughs that I absolutely love about this show.

A comment on your fusion observations at the end. Dancing is more so a way to help them synchronize their selves so they can physically and mentally prepare to be one person.

Hi Mosco, loving your reactions to the series!

[@baraxor]

The painting shown way back in So Many Birthdays implies that Rose Quartz and GAP had interactions with human seagoing folk who happen to stumble upon the vicinity of the Crystal Temple. There's also the sailor's chest that's preserved in Lion's pocket dimension. Prepare for a big dump of Gem lore to close out this season, that should answer a lot of questions.

What's GAP?

[@NatIsANerd]

@@Tempestuous.Shadow I'm guessing (G)arnet, (A)methyst, and (P)earl

[@baraxor]

@@Tempestuous.Shadow Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl.

Little did the Crystal Gems realize that the foot they captured would mutate into a monster right in their home base.
