Did you see what I did? It was magic! My tears brought the fountain back to life and saved Amethyst!
..I'm pretty sure me and Garnet unplugging the clogged chamber brought the fountain back to life.
We saved Amethyst.
[beat] You don't think my crying was... a little related to that?
Oh, Steven. You don't have healing tears. You'll never have any real magic powers, [Steven becomes horrified] and we don't want anything more to do with you.
"She didn't really say that!"
[cut back to present]
No... but that's what it felt like.
Is that why you've been so down? [he shrugs] Oh. You can have your juice back.
Nah, that's okay. [sniffles, sighs] Everyone expects me to be like my mom. What if I never get those powers?
Then you'll be like me. That's not so bad.
But... if I don't have powers, then I can't hang out with Amethyst, or Garnet, or Pearl... [starts crying, grips pants tightly] and I-I can't go on missions! [Connie touches his hand]
You don't need any powers to be here with me.
[a gust of wind blows through; Connie slurps his juice box. She leans forward to Steven and sparkles magically appear on her head]
Ow! Ahh...
What's wrong?
I think... [sigh] there's just... [take glasses off] There's something wrong with my glasses. [sees Steven clearly] My... My eyes... I-I-I can see!
What?!
I can see without my glasses!
Did I... heal your eyes? But... how?
[he looks at the sparkles around the straw of the Durian juice carton; Steven gasps, Connie drops it]
The juice box! I don't have healing tears! I HAVE HEALING SPIT!!
What am I going to tell my parents? What am I going to tell my optometrist?!
I don't even know! [hugs her] Oh, thank you, Connie! Lion, let's go tell the Gems! They're never gonna believe this!
