Dad! When Blue Diamond took you, l got so scared. And then the Gems said you might be in some horrible human zoo, [tearing up]

Hey, hey, it's OK, Schtu - ball. Your old man's perfectly fine.
[to the Zoomans] You're all very nice, and l'm flattered,
Whoa, hey, don't cry. You can choose someone else.

l feel... not good. I feel... bad?

Could this be... Is this... "hurt"?
JTJay - Ten
Why would Ga - reg "hurt" us? Take this "hurt" away!
[An Amethyst Guard throws Steven and Greg into a room full of Amethysts and Jaspers]
HAHomeworld Amethyst
These the ones?
Steven! Greg! They found me out!
Ameythst!
You won't believe what I've been through! These Amethysts, they're really, really... great!
What?! [all of the Quartz soldiers laugh]
HAHomeworld Amethyst
[laughing] Your faces!
A8Amethyst 8XL
[laughing] You were right. That was priceless!
[hugs Steven] I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I had to! What are you wearing? Greg, this is a good look for you.
What is going on?
These Amethysts, they're all from Earth! They're from the Prime Kindergarten! Wait. Hey, 8XL!
A8Amethyst 8XL
Yeah?
You guys, I'm an 8! Tell them, tell them!
A8Amethyst 8XL
The Amethyst under me never popped out. We were all waiting and, nothing.
I'm 8XM! Facet 5, Cut 8XM! That's me! This is 8XG, this is 8XH…
A8Amethyst 8XJ
I'm J.
Oh, geez! Sorry, I'm worse than Holly Blue!
A8Amethyst 8XJ
Aren't we all?
J"Skinny" Jasper
Prime, Prime, Prime. You Amethysts are so cliquey.
Skinny's a Jasper! There are gems here from the Beta Kindergarten, too. Hey, where's Carnelian?
J"Skinny" Jasper
Celebrating.
CCarnelian
[carries Amethyst] I'm not the shortest anymore!
This is unreal.
Hey! Please, if you don't mind me asking, we really need your help. We came in with Sapphire, Ruby, and Pearl. We've gotta find them and get them out of-
[The door behind them suddenly opens up, revealing Ruby, Sapphire, Pearl, and Holly Blue Agate standing in the doorway]
I'll only be a moment. [enters the room as Steven and Greg quickly hide behind an Amethyst Guard] What are you all doing in here?! Get to your stations! Even you hideous off-color Betas! Get out of your cubbies and into your places! It's the least you can do for the Diamond that kept you worthless sorry Gems in service! That's right. Blue is back already! Now go pretend your filthy vein of Quartz is capable of gratitude! Go, go, go!
Please tell me you're joking. You only just left, and you're already back?
Yellow. Wh-what are you doing here?
I'm here to bring you back to reality, Blue.
I'm fine. Just leave me alone.
It's been thousands of years, Blue, and you still bring yourself to destroy these Gems? She was shattered by a Rose Quartz! The entire cut of Gem deserves the same fate!
But they were hers.
They should be wiped out of existence, not kept safe in bubbles!
Yellow, she made them. This is all we have left of her. These Gems, this place, and the Earth.
I thought we agreed we need to put that planet and this whole debacle behind us.
Why can't you just let me grieve?
You can't keep coming here forever!
Why not?!
[sighs; to her Pearl] Pearl, do something. Sing for her. Make her feel better.
Yes, my Diamond. Ahem. [turns to Blue Pearl] Ahem!
Uh… Oh.
My Diamond. My gracious, wondrous, luminous, lustrous Diamond…sss? [gasps in surprise as she notices Yellow Diamond] Oh, my! It's truly an honor to bask in your radiance…ses.
Get to the point, Agate.
[clears throat] Yes, of course. My deepest apologies. You'll be pleased to know that your Sapphire has completed your special delivery.
What special delivery?
Um, the special delivery you requested from Earth, of course.
I never asked any Sapphire to go to Earth.
I… Um… [nervously starts freezing up]
[whispering] Oh, no! She's freezing up!
My…future vision foresaw you, my Diamond, desiring more…humans for the zoo. So I…acted accordingly.
It's true. The window preserving Earth's specimens is closing.
[Steven sighs in relief]
Is that what you want? Sapphire, has the Cluster emerged yet?
No, it has not.
Then there's still time. That will be all. [claps twice]
[bows] My Diamonds.
[as Steven, Greg, and the Crystal Gems try to stealthily file past her] It's a shame, though. This outpost is so remote, I was beginning to think we'd been forgotten. But we haven't! Two diamonds, one day! What an honor! I don't think anything can spoil this for me! [turns and catches the group frozen while boarding the Roaming Eye] What… is… THE MEANING OF THIS?! [the Quartz soldiers appear to watch in the doorway watching behind her] Why are these two outside the containment area?!
Holly Blue, I can explain…
No need, your Clarity. Not even you could have forseen how incompetent these Amethysts are. Well, if you want something done right... [summons an electrified whip from her gem in the back of her head] you just do it yourself. [to Steven and Greg] You two are coming with me! [swings her electric whip at the, but Sapphire and Ruby fuse into Garnet and catch it, stunning her and the Quartz soldiers]
SGSteven and Greg
Garnet!
Steven, get Greg on board.
Yes, please!
We'll handle this noise.
[Pearl severs Holly Blue Agate's whip. Amethyst catches it and wraps her up with it to the amusement of the Quartz soldiers]
[approaches Holly Blue Agate, summons her right gauntlet] I've been waiting to do this all day... [hits Holly Blue Agate with her left hand, knocking her down]
[to the Quartz soldiers laughing at her] What are you doing?! They're traitors! Destroy them!
[kisses and waves to the Quartz soldiers] Famethyst for life!
[as the whip fades] I'll report you to the Diamonds! All of you! You'll all be shattered!
You're really going to tell the Diamonds that you allowed a band of traitorous rebels to infiltrate a highly secure facility and escape from right under your careful watch? [inhales sharply] Doesn't sound like a wise thing to do, Holly Blue. So do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut. That will be all.
[Holly Blue groans in misery while the Quartz soldiers wave their goodbyes to the Crystal Gems as they take off and leave the zoo]
Thanks so much for coming to get me. That has to be, like, the third craziest weekend I've ever had.
Dad, I'm really sorry I got you into all this. This whole thing started 'cause… I wanted answers.
You don't have to be sorry about a thing. I hope you found what you were looking for.
I did. I found you.
Did anything happen while we were gone?
Uh… Lion behaved himself, I restocked all the cereal and washed all the towels.
Sounds like everything went well.
Well, there was a little trouble… [Flashback starts at her house, where she enters the living room, talking to Steven on the phone; narrating] When I got that call from you, I could tell you had a lot going on.
[on the phone] Dad's in trouble, and we need to go into space to get him back.
[putting on Rose's sword] I can get there in 15! Or actually, maybe 20, 25 'cause I might have to take the bus--
There's no time! We're going right now! Just protect Beach City for me while we're gone.
[determined] You can count on me! [hangs up and takes a deep breath; narrating] It was a big job for one person, but I felt up to the challenge. I made my way over to your house, and that's when I realized… I wasn't alone. [enters the beach house and hears the sound of a toilet flushing from the bathroom; draws out her sword, heads over to the bathroom, and bursts the door open, finding Lapis and Peridot]
Uh, don't you knock?
Weirdo.
Lapis? Peridot? What are you doing here?
Just showing off my old room too-- Oh, wait, actually that's none of your business!
Who is this, and what is she doing in Steven's house?
That's Steven's third best friend after me and you.
Um, Lapis, you don't remember me?
Hmm…
You almost drowned me when you tried to steal the world's water.
[awkwardly] I almost drowned a lot of people.
To do the job of the Crystal Gems, we need to do the jobs of the Crystal Gems! We four--
Four?
I'm counting Pumpkin.
[Pumpkin barks happily]
We each need to pick someone from the original team, and perform their role in the group! We'll be exactly like them - but better!
That... sort of makes sense.
I call Garnet! I'm obviously best suited to be the boss.
You are very bossy.
[happily] Thank you!
Then I'll do what Steven does.
Lapis, you could be Amethyst.
Which one is she? [awkward silence] I'm joking.
Great! You're already in character!
What about your pumpkin?
Whatever. She can be Pearl.
Am I doing it? Am I as aloof and distant as the Garnet?!
You were, [imitating Amethyst] until you started to ask so many questions! [does a snorting laugh]
[narrating] The wash was a wash. And so were the New Crystal Gems.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about what's been going wrong with this team-up, and I think it's obvious now that the problem is ALL OF YOU! Connie, you completely lacked Steven's sentimentality. He would have had a much more inspiring speech yesterday. Lapis, your lack of humour has been hurting our morale. Maybe you should switch with Pumpkin.
Let's make Pumpkin the Garnet. You should be the Pearl.
I'm nothing like Pearl! She's so uptight and sensitive! [melodramatic] How dare you?! I'm leaving!
[sarcastic] That's so funny, you should be Amethyst.
That's so dumb, you should be a clod!
Oh, so now I'm a clod? I think you're the clod.
Wow, your Peridot impression is lousy too!
WILL YOU TWO CAN IT?!
[stunned] That's not a very "Steven" thing to say.
I don't care! So I'm not Steven! Maybe he's really great at helping people work out these arguments! Maybe he's really patient and caring, even though it must be hard for him having to be the adult for a bunch of superpowered children!
We're both thousands of years older than you.
Then act like it! Be the Gems you've been for thousands of years instead of playing this silly game. It's impossible trying to solve problems if we're just trying to copy other people! Oh, what's the point of this? We'll never be the Crystal Gems, we're just the Crystal... Temps. But we have our own way of doing things. So let's go back to that, to fix this mess we made.
[amazed] You do make a good Steven.
Watch it!
