Garnet - Steven Universe

Garnet is the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire and the current de facto leader of the Crystal Gems. Garnet is one of the last surviving Gems on Earth who joined the Crystal Gems in the Rebellion against the Gem Homeworld and afterward assisted her friends in protecting the Earth over the next few millennia. After Rose Quartz gave up her physical form to give birth to her son, Steven Universe, Garnet took over as the leader of the group. Years later, after Ruby and Sapphire were officially married, Garnet is still an extremely stable fusion living a loving and peaceful life among the Crystal Gems and their uncorrupted allies. This life came under threat when Spinel returned and struck her with a Gem Rejuvenator, wiping her memories and separating Ruby and Sapphire. The two then fuse accidentally and are subsequently restored when she is reminded of the value of truth and love. Garnet no longer feels pressured or overwhelmed due to her future vision which had caused her to once be stoic and distant, but instead is ready to face the future as it naturally unfolds.

First Form In "The Answer", Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet for the first time. Garnet has curly hair that is mostly light blue with the left side being mostly hot pink instead and magenta skin. Their bodysuit is split diagonally. The right side resembles Ruby's bodysuit but colored light pink with medium length sleeves. The collar and sleeve on the right side have a dull indigo cuff/collar. The left side resembles Sapphire's dress, but colored dull indigo, with a slightly puffy pale blue sleeve. She also has a dull indigo glove on her left arm starting from her elbow and covering her entire hand. Her dull indigo half-dress stops a little below her hips, where it extends out a bit. Her leggings are hot pink on her right leg and dull indigo on her left. She has a tall dull indigo boot on her right foot and no left boot, and she does not have a visor like her later regenerations. This form reappears in a flashback from "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and Steven Universe: The Movie, when Garnet re-fuses.

1980s-90s Regeneration In "Story for Steven", "We Need to Talk", and "Greg the Babysitter", episodes that flashback to around the 1980s, Garnet's bodysuit is red, white, and black. The top half is maroon with a misty rose collar and zigzag design, with crimson puffy sleeves. The bottom half is black with mulberry-colored heels and toes of her feet. Her shades are tinted blue and yellow and appear more rounded than her debut design, her hair is the same length as her current design but the same size as her debut design, and she is not wearing gloves. Her gauntlets are also the same as her debut design.

Pre-regeneration (debut) She had medium, red skin, and black hair styled into a cube-shaped afro. She almost always wore triangular futuristic, translucent peach-tinted shades, which covers all three of her eyes. She wore a black and crimson bodysuit, with cubic shoulder pads (the right one being brink pink, the left one being crimson), and a pale pink star with a brink pink outline on her chest. She also wore long, elbow-length black gloves that covered her middle fingers. This form also appears in the flashback of "Three Gems and a Baby", and briefly in Steven Universe: The Movie.

Post-regeneration (previous) From "Jail Break" to "Together Alone", Garnet continued to wear the same bodysuit, but with a different color scheme and pattern. As opposed to crimson and black, her bodysuit became more colorful. Her right half was covered in a midnight stocking, and her left was covered in a dark orchid stocking. Her skin tone also changed, now a soft cerise color rather than red. Her weapons became a dark crimson color. However, there is a ring of black on the outside closest to her arms, and the glowing aura that appears when summoning them became pale magenta. Instead of a gold star on the end facing her arms, they are just plain orange. The star on her top's color also changed - instead of a pink star with a magenta outline, it became an amaranth-colored star with a soft-pink outline. Her hair was changed from black to dark-purple and became shorter and smaller than before. Her shades, instead of pale-orange and white, became a soft-pink and pale-blue. Her shoulder pads were pear-like instead of cube-like, and both were a dark orchid color as well as her arms and gloves. This costume lacked contrast in colors compared to her pre-regeneration outfit. The two halves of her lower body were separated straight down the middle as opposed to the left thigh before regeneration. Her shades also changed colors from pale red to blue frequently to indicate Ruby or Sapphire's impulse in Garnet.

After her reformation in "Reunited", she wore a copper ring on her left ring finger and a tin ring on her right ring finger to indicate Ruby and Sapphire's marriage.

Current regeneration As of "Change Your Mind", her skin tone is slightly darker, and her shades are now marigold and takes the shape of the top of a star. The shape of her suit is unaffected, but the coloring is. The upper torso is now cerise with a pale pink, almost white, 4-pointed star on top with an orchid-colored outline which also now faces sideways. The tuxedo-like abdominal area is magenta on the left side and cobalt blue on the right. The legs are now completely midnight blue and hot magenta at the toes. Her shoulder pads are also phlox-colored, and she keeps her gloves and wedding rings. She keeps this regeneration after regaining her memories in Steven Universe: The Movie.

Garnet is the tallest of the Crystal Gems we meet in the show's debut. She has three eyes, which are usually hidden behind a pair of shades. Her right eye is a medium ruby-red, her left a medium sapphire-blue, while the center third eye is a dark purple color, a mix of the other two. Her gemstones are embedded in the palms of her hands. Like Ruby, she has a deep violet cube-shaped afro and a magenta skin tone, while her facial features more closely resemble Sapphire's, with a rounded square jaw, and plump lips.

Advertisement Personality “ Garnet is definitely the leader of the team. She is totally in control of everything everyone does.

” —Rebecca Sugar Though she is often the most pragmatic and straightforward of the Crystal Gems, Garnet tends to act on intuition rather than seriously analyzing a situation, as often seen throughout the series. As the leader, Garnet is often the peacemaker of the Crystal Gems, especially when Pearl and Amethyst start arguing. She demands the utmost respect from the other Crystal Gems and is not hesitant to berate team members should they refuse to follow an order.

Equable and mellow, Garnet is capable of remaining composed in most situations – this characteristic is derived from Sapphire. This is displayed in the episode, "The Return", where Amethyst and Pearl were at a loss for words when they tried to explain to Steven why he was forbidden from fighting alongside them at the Gem Warship's landing. Garnet was the only Crystal Gem who was able to effectively get their point across and convince Steven to join Beach City's evacuation. She was able to remain strong and act practically despite the dangerous and uncertain situation.

Garnet demonstrates a fierce, competitive spirit. This is best seen while she is playing volleyball in "Beach Party", "Steven Tag" in "Keep Beach City Weird", and arcade games in "Arcade Mania". Garnet also tends to act in extremes, either maintaining her very reserved nature or lashing out with strong emotion. Both of these personalities come from her two constituent Gems, the conservative Sapphire and passionate Ruby. Despite this, it should also be noted that Garnet can be seen with emotions neutral to these, but it is a rare occurrence.

While mostly level-headed, Garnet can still lose her cool. When Steven began rapidly aging in "So Many Birthdays", Garnet started violently shaking him in her desperation, believing that violence might be the answer. Another example of this can be seen in "Fusion Cuisine" as she panics under pressure when talking to Connie's mother over the phone, leading her to claim that Steven and Connie had died while playing with swords. In "Steven's Dream", when Greg has been captured, she is constantly apologizing to Steven about how she should have told him about what was going to happen since the beginning.

The de-fusion and eventual re-fusion of Ruby and Sapphire in "The Return" and "Jail Break" appear to have had an impact on Garnet's personality (which might be due to hiding her fusion status from Steven); in consequent episodes, she appears much more outspoken, lively, and engaging. In "Jail Break", she shows great enthusiasm when reunited with Steven and in her fight with Jasper, as opposed to her reserved façade pre-regeneration. When looking at the events of "Joy Ride", she speaks the most out of the three, again contrasting with pre-regeneration Garnet. In "When It Rains", before the gems leave on a mission Garnet forms a heart with her hands and tells Steven she loves him. "Log Date 7 15 2" is the greatest example of Garnet's change as she talks to Peridot with openness, compassion, and warmth, even offering to fuse with her to help them understand each other. She has also slowly become more fun-loving. In "Kindergarten Kid", she reveals she and the Gems stayed to watch Steven and Peridot because Peridot's plans would be funny. In "Know Your Fusion", she expresses both shock and joy at Steven and Amethyst fusing, picking up and shaking Pearl while screaming in happiness. In "Mindful Education", she made a "fusion sign" to cheer on Stevonnie.

Garnet is also the most encouraging of the Crystal Gems and is usually the first to give Steven the chance to try out his ideas (particularly in "Marble Madness"). She prefers to emphasize when her show of trust causes a breakthrough, such as when Greg Universe helped in "The Message" and even considers someone's willingness to try something – whether or not they are capable of it – as a form of success on their part. However, when Garnet feels betrayed, such as in "Mirror Gem" or "Cry for Help", she can lash out with a temper that is rarely seen. This was an additional source of tension in "Cry for Help" onwards. "Future Vision" turned things on its head, as Garnet found she had betrayed Steven's trust in her, and subsequently felt self-remorse.

Garnet believes fusion to be sacred and personal. She tells Stevonnie in "Alone Together" that fusion is considered neither one person nor two people, but rather an experience. She was also open enough to answer Steven's personal questions regarding Ruby and Sapphire in "Keeping It Together". As such, any form of misuse of fusion greatly upsets Garnet and is one of the few things that breaks her otherwise calm and controlled demeanor; seeing Homeworld's experiments disturbed and frightened her so immensely that she nearly separated from the shock. Also in "Cry for Help", she was furious at Pearl for misusing their fusion of Sardonyx for her own personal gain, something she would not forgive for a while. Her belief in fusion leads to her extreme reaction to seeing Smoky Quartz for the first time, but it also allows her to aid Steven and Connie, and by extension Stevonnie, work through their negative emotions.

Garnet has demonstrated that she takes her position as a leader seriously and has a strong moral compass. In "Cry for Help", Garnet is deeply disturbed by Pearl lying to her about Peridot rebuilding the Communication Tower so they can form Sardonyx, and for wasting time in finding Peridot. Although she has a sense of morality and takes the team's ethic seriously, Garnet's silent and stoic nature does sometimes interfere with expressing her thoughts and feelings to her teammates. This has happened multiple times, as seen with Amethyst in "Reformed" with Amethyst racing to satisfy Garnet's demands and with Pearl in "Friend Ship" while Pearl was trying to make amends with Garnet by finding Peridot. Garnet's anger rendered her inarticulate enough that she was unable to tell Pearl that being tricked into repeated fusion without a real purpose left her feeling extremely violated. Garnet tends to be very independent, and she will often go on missions by herself even if others want to join her. She can be oblivious and stubborn, as seen with Pearl's warning in "Coach Steven" and to Steven's explanation of his dream in "Chille Tid". It also shows in "Steven's Dream", Garnet attempts to change subjects as she is afraid of how Steven will react to more information about his mother.

While Garnet is usually serious and hardworking, she can sometimes act quirky and off-putting. For example, when Steven tells the Crystal Gems about their tired look in "Chille Tid", Garnet says they look "awesome" instead. According to Steven in "Fusion Cuisine", Garnet is blunt during conversations and lacks an empathetic foresight for others, usually hurting their feelings in the process. An example is in "Love Letters" where she rejects Jamie's romantic advance, making him feel very hurt, and curating a letter with Steven and Connie for Jamie that rejects him with the simple straightforward words, "no, the end, forever and even after that."

This blunt attitude is also expressed non-verbally by Garnet on several occasions. In "Together Breakfast", she confiscates Steven's smartphone without his permission and proceeds to incinerate it after he takes a picture of the Evil Spirit Scroll she was going to burn.

Steven Universe: The Movie shows Garnet at her most open and fun-loving after three years of peace with the uncorrupted Gems and Off-Colors. When she refuses after being hit by Spinel's Rejuvenator, she shows uncertainty and naivety similar to when she formed the first time. When she regains her memories, she hugs the other Crystal Gems while singing "True Kinda Love".

Steven Universe Future continues with Garnet being open, blunt, and unafraid to speak her mind, such as stating how weird it is to have the Rose Quartzes around, and humorously scaring the gems of her home safety class by telling them how they were going to die in "A Very Special Episode". "Snow Day" shows her continued openness, playfulness and teasing nature as she and Amethyst play Steven tag while also trying to continue to care for Steven despite how much he's grown.

Abilities Garnet's debut gauntlets Garnet's debut gauntlets 1/4 Garnet possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.

Garnet has a high tolerance for pain, as shown in "So Many Birthdays" when she displays no visible reaction, let alone discomfort when Amethyst blindly swings a baseball bat at the side of her head. This is explained and justified since she is a fusion of two Gems. While not outright invincible, it is shown that Garnet is more physically durable than Pearl or Amethyst. It is shown that she endures different levels of damage almost daily, withstanding falling cars, scuffles with Jasper, and various other forms of physical force.

Fusions When fused with Amethyst, they form Sugilite. When fused with Pearl, they form Sardonyx. When fused with Pearl and Amethyst, they form Alexandrite. When fused with Pearl, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz, they form Obsidian. When fused with Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Sunstone. When fused with Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Obsidian.

Skillset Garnet's gauntlet proficiency. Garnet's gauntlet proficiency.

Gauntlet Proficiency: When channeling the collective power of the universe through her gemstones, Garnet can summon a pair of gauntlets. Garnet is highly proficient when using her gauntlets and is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She can deal massive strikes that can deal a heavy amount of damage and deliver swift blows with lightning speed. As of "Bismuth", Garnet's gauntlets have had spiked brass knuckles added onto them.Garnet, firing her gauntlets. Garnet, firing her gauntlets.

Rocket Gauntlets: Garnet takes aim with her gauntlets and shoots them as projectiles in "Watermelon Steven". In "Reformed", after Garnet launches her gauntlets, her hands are detached from her body, and her gemstones are moved to the stubs of her arms. Weapon Size Augmentation: Garnet can increase the size of her gauntlets, easily quadrupling their size, and deal increased damage at the cost of reduced speed. This was hinted during "Garnet's Universe". Being an imaginary story, that means Steven knew about that power before the real debut in "Warp Tour". Deflection: Garnet can use her gauntlets as shields as seen in "Onion Trade" to deflect a volley of Dave Guys. They are also used in "Catch and Release" to block Peridot's electrokinetic discharge in Amethyst's whip, although it is unknown whether Garnet simply prevented the electric current using her gauntlets or absorbed it with her electrokinesis. Shock Wave Emission: As seen in "Gem Harvest", Garnet can pound her gauntlets into something and create a shock wave strong enough to make something, such as carrots, fly out of the ground. Fusion Realm: In the episode "Mindful Education", Garnet was shown to have helped Stevonnie gain a deeper connection to themself; the way this was done was apparently through a quite easily gained meditative state in which Garnet guided Stevonnie throughout. When Garnet and Stevonnie entered this realm Garnet showed Stevonnie how to keep in touch with themself and how to gain a deeper understanding of both their sides and how to resist falling apart by being honest to themself.

Natural Abilities Immense Strength: Garnet's strength. Garnet's strength.

Garnet stopping Jasper mid-air. Garnet stopping Jasper mid-air.

Garnet is the physically strongest Crystal Gem. She is able to easily poof Gems with her physical strength alone, as seen when she poofed Peridot (who has impressive durability). She can jump massive heights, she can easily destroy large structures even without her gauntlets and she is able to lift giant objects with ease. In "Ocean Gem", the ground is destroyed by an airwave simply because she punched hard enough. Immense Durability: Garnet is also extremely durable. In "Giant Woman", she states that she can swim on lava. In "Ocean Gem" and later in "Jailbreak", she withstands being attacked hard enough to through the ground, by Lapis Lazuli and Jasper respectively. She can tank hits from powerful Gems such as Jasper, Bismuth and Topaz. Shapeshifting: Garnet shapeshifted into Steven. Garnet shapeshifted into Steven.

Garnet, like most Gems, can shapeshift, she mostly uses her shapeshifting skills to stretch her arms, but she occasionally turns into other things too, as seen in "Keep Beach City Weird" when she shapeshifted into Steven. Photokinesis: In "It Could've Been Great", Garnet can be seen using photokinesis, she can use her gemstone to project a red light, like a flashlight. Bubbling: Garnet is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are red and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. Gem Storage: Garnet can materialize different items out of her gemstone(s). In "Serious Steven", she summoned the key to the Pyramid Temple and in "Giant Woman" and "Love Letters", she summoned her goggles. Unique Abilities “ No one can see the future. I can see options and trajectories. Time is like a river... that splits into creeks, or pools into lakes, or careens down waterfalls. I have the map, and I steer the ship.

” —Garnet explaining her future vision, "Future Vision" Future Vision: Garnet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities with her third eye. This includes extremely unlikely and ridiculous outcomes, as a considerable amount of her available visions depict Steven's (and possibly other individuals') demise at the hands of mundane tasks or objects regularly. Future vision must be used consciously and takes some time to use, as Garnet has been shown in a thinking position when activating it. During that time, someone can alter the future, as seen in "Marble Madness", when Steven ruined the plan to learn about Peridot by going up to her while Garnet was still using future vision. Garnet must also consciously seek out specific details and judge which possible futures are most probable, which means she can overlook some possibilities, such as Pearl deceiving her in "Cry for Help". Garnet's visor improves her clarity and focuses while using future vision,[1] but she can still use the ability with it off, as demonstrated in "Reunited" when she foresaw the Diamonds' arrival. Garnet's future vision comes from Sapphire, as confirmed in "Keystone Motel", although Sapphire's future vision is different from Garnet's.[2] Due to Sapphire's passive personality, she can only see one future where she does not intervene. Garnet has Ruby's impulsive influence, so she can see multiple futures where she does intervene. Garnet, kissing Steven on the forehead and transferring her Future Vision powers. Garnet, kissing Steven on the forehead and transferring her Future Vision powers.

Temporary Power Transfer: In "Winter Forecast", "Jail Break", and "Future Boy Zoltron" it is shown that she can temporarily pass on her future vision ability to others through lip contact. While Garnet has only been seen using lip-to-forehead contact to transfer her power, it is unknown if this is the only method. As she has only been seen sharing her power with Steven, her affection could say bias on how she chooses to transfer the power. Heat Resistance: Her invulnerability is often displayed in her extreme resistance to heat, from when she had scalding-hot coffee splash onto her without flinching in "Future Vision" to when she left to retrieve the Earth Beetle (which required her to swim in active lava) in "Giant Woman". It has also been said that she could swim in the core of the Sun and survive.[3] This may be because of Ruby's thermo-regulation. Enhanced Calculations: Garnet mentions her ability to sense structural integrity in "Cheeseburger Backpack". It is currently unknown whether this is a unique power, a separate portion of her heightened senses like her future vision, or just a simple observation. Garnet's electrokinesis. Garnet's electrokinesis.

Electrokinesis: Garnet can generate electricity, as seen in "The Message" when she used it to charge the battery of Greg's van, "Catch and Release" when she was tangling with Peridot, and "Arcade Mania" when she restarted "Meat Beat Mania" after Steven unplugged the game. Garnet has this ability due to the combination of Ruby's pyrokinesis and Sapphire's cryokinesis. Electric Resistance: Garnet is impervious to electricity, as seen in "Future Vision" when she easily deflected a lightning bolt that was about to hit her and Steven with her gemstone. It is seen again in "Catch and Release" when she stopped Peridot's electricity from traveling down Amethyst's whip, only to send her electricity back at her. It was also used in "That Will Be All" when she caught Holly Blue Agate's electric whip in her hands to stop it from hitting Greg and Steven Electric Jump: In "When It Rains", Garnet uses her electrokinesis on the offensive for the second time, generating electricity and releasing it on impact with the ground, where the energy then travels to the target. This particular move is long-ranged. Super Speed: In "Arcade Mania", Garnet karate chops the inner arms of the Gem Cave Creature and shakes Meat Beat Mania's ham controllers at incredible speeds. In "The Message", Garnet quickly places couch cushions around the Wailing Stone. In "Bismuth", Garnet engages Bismuth in combat with an immensely fast approach. She inherited this ability from Sapphire. Clandestine Abilities Levitation: While controlled by White Diamond, Garnet can, indirectly, suspend her body. White Burst: While controlled by White Diamond (probably via the same), Garnet is capable of shooting, through her eyes, a white energy beam equivalent to White Diamond aura, in which it can also control, mentally, the affected Gems. Attack the Light Gauntlet Punch: Garnet does a one-two punch with her gauntlets. Does medium damage and takes 2 Star Points. Shield Breaker: Garnet smashes the ground to create a defense-lowering shield-breaking wave of energy. If you hit the red spot, it does damage. Takes 3 Star Points. Upgrades increase damage and stuns enemies for a longer period of time. Rocket Punch: Garnet aims her gauntlets and fires, dealing high damage and creating an explosion. Upgrades increase the size of the explosion and reduce the Star Point cost to 4. Six-Punch Combo: Garnet punches the enemy multiple times depending on how many timed commands the player successfully does. Takes 6 Star Points. Fuse: Garnet fuses with Pearl and Amethyst to form Alexandrite and smashes the enemies with a fist multiple times for lots of damage. This move lowers attack and defense, takes 9 Star Points, and requires all Gems to have full harmony to use. All the Crystal Gems, except Steven, can activate this. Save the Light Sugilite: Amethyst and Garnet can fuse into Sugilite at any time, but they both need to be in the party. As Sugilite, they can use Mega Quake, and Tornado Fire Punch as attacks. Sardonyx: Garnet and Pearl can fuse into Sardonyx at any time, so they need to be in the comedian show. Unleash the Light Obsidian: Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven can fuse into Obsidian at any time. Relationships Steven Universe “ Steven, I know you don't think we trust you. I know more often than not we treat you like a human child. But the truth is, we rely on you. Your voice inspires us, binds us, reminds us why we promised to protect the planet.

” —Garnet in "The Return" Garnet patting Steven on the head. Garnet patting Steven on the head.

Steven respects Garnet as a leader and a responsible motherly figure. In return, Garnet tends to have more faith in Steven's plans and ideas than Amethyst and Pearl. She also protects him from their antics and bickering. She loves Steven deeply, and rarely gets mad at him unless he disobeys an order such as in "Mirror Gem". It is evident that Garnet holds a high amount of trust in Steven and his judgment, listening to his ideas in "Cheeseburger Backpack" and "Marble Madness". This trust is notably displayed in "Future Vision": her future vision informs her of various ways of how Steven could get hurt, but she decides to trust Steven to make the right choices on his own. Regardless, she has grounded him numerous times. She also cares for him deeply, as shown in "So Many Birthdays" when she is visibly distressed when Steven starts aging uncontrollably and in "Bubbled" when she is overjoyed to the point of tears when she, along with Pearl and Amethyst, finds Steven after he was cast out in space in "Back to the Moon".

Steven Universe Future shows that Garnet still cares for Steven like she always has, but has come to trust and rely on him more, such as in "A Very Special Episode" when she needed him to fuse with her into Sunstone. In "The Future", Garnet is glad Steven is opening a new chapter of his life by moving out, but when he gives her, Amethyst and Pearl a final goodbye, her tears explode and she gives him a hug, admitting that he will always be a part of the family.

As seen in the Pilot, Garnet called Steven a "Butt face". Some believe this is Garnet showing rudeness to Steven, however, prior, at the temple, when Amethyst and Perl make fun of Steven, calling him a clown, Garnet tells them not to. Later in the episode, Steven uses the "butt face" insult as a rewind point, to attempt to battle the monster again with knowledge gained. He then accidentally rewinds to the "clown" comment, at which point, Garnet once again tells them not to make fun of him with Steven proclaiming that he'll save their lives. This, may in fact, be an example of Garnet using her future vision to help Steven, and not Garnet being rude.

Ruby & Sapphire “ ♫ I am made o-o-o-o-of lo-o-o-o-ove. ♫

” —Garnet, during the song "Stronger Than You", "Jail Break" Ruby and Sapphire fusing into Garnet. Ruby and Sapphire fusing into Garnet.

Ruby and Sapphire are Garnet's component Gems. It is revealed in "The Answer" that Ruby and Sapphire met 5,750 years ago (and 8 months), and that their first fusion into Garnet was accidental.

As described by Steven in "Love Letters", Garnet is the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship, which is again demonstrated in "Reunited" as Steven declares them "Garnet" instead of wives during their wedding. According to the podcast, a good analogy for understanding Garnet is to think of her a bit like Ruby and Sapphire's child, with attributes of both but completely different from both as her person.[4]

During times of great conflict of opinion, Ruby and Sapphire can talk to each other through Garnet, as seen in "Keeping It Together" and "Keystone Motel", before they start to de-fuse.

It was confirmed by Writer/Storyboard Artist Joe Johnston, via his Tumblr[5] that Garnet being such a strong fusion of Ruby and Sapphire is meant to reinforce the romantic affections they have for one another. The song "Stronger Than You" also reinforces the romantic nature of their relationship; yet they were also greatly influenced by Rose Quartz's view of Garnet, which causes a fallout in the "Heart of the Crystal Gems" arc, said fallout, however, leading to Ruby and Sapphire's marriage so Garnet becomes "[their] decision".

In "Together Forever" Garnet refers to them as "hopeless romantics" and believes they shouldn't be trusted with relationship advice.

Amethyst “ Shut down by the G-Squad!

” —Amethyst in "Monster Buddies" Garnet hugging both Amethyst and Pearl. Garnet hugging both Amethyst and Pearl.

While Amethyst chafes at being told what to do, she will follow orders from Garnet. Amethyst respects Garnet's leadership abilities and judgment, even referring to her as "the boss". Garnet has also been shown to be much more willing to play along with Amethyst's jokes than Pearl except in serious situations. However, Garnet is not beyond scolding Amethyst when she feels her reckless actions impact the integrity of the team. Amethyst also appears to depend on Garnet's strength, expressing hurt when it looked like Garnet enjoyed fusing with Pearl more than fusing with her.

Pearl “ There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your own Gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.

” —Garnet, "Friend Ship" Garnet and Pearl, after unfusing. Garnet and Pearl, after unfusing.

Like Amethyst and Steven, Pearl respects Garnet's leadership abilities. While she is occasionally patronizing and condescending to the other Gems, Pearl treats Garnet as an equal. In "Cry for Help", however, her relationship with Pearl sours after it is revealed that Garnet was duped into forming Sardonyx multiple times without finding Peridot. Following the events in "Keystone Motel", after Ruby and Sapphire makeup, she finally speaks to Pearl again, even if only to wave her off, meaning Ruby still hesitates to forgive Pearl. In "Friend Ship", Garnet talked to Pearl, saying that she looks to her and wants her to be strong; this eventually led to Pearl's full redemption with Garnet. It was revealed in "The Answer" that Garnet had found her to be 'terrifying'. In fact, in their second encounter, Garnet had begun to beg Pearl (as well as Rose Quartz) for mercy, after being pinned down by Pearl's sword. Pearl had shown surprise upon seeing her for the first time, especially after the reaction of all of the Homeworld Gems. However, it was then revealed that Pearl (along with Rose) had accepted Garnet for who she was, understanding that she was a fusion of love. It is evident that after Garnet had joined the Crystal Gems, her relationship with Pearl had improved. In "Back to the Moon", Garnet and Pearl are seen easily fusing into Sardonyx, suggesting their relationship has been completely repaired. This is seen again in "Know Your Fusion", when Garnet and Pearl fuse into Sardonyx and remain in that form for a substantial amount of time, only unfusing when they realize they have stolen Smoky Quartz's chance to impress them.

Peridot “ Log Date 7 14 2. I have attempted fusion with the fusion Garnet. I had hoped to gain a better understanding of fusion; instead, I gained a better understanding of Garnet.

” —Peridot, "Log Date 7 15 2" Peridot trying to fuse with Garnet. Peridot trying to fuse with Garnet.

Garnet was initially wary of Peridot's appearance in "Warp Tour", identifying her as a Homeworld Gem. Since Peridot's return to Earth and subsequent stranding on the said planet in "Jail Break", Garnet viewed Peridot as a hostile enemy and sought to capture her, always attacking her on sight with extreme hostility and disdain, succeeding in "Catch and Release", violently squeezing Peridot to poof her. As revealed in "Keeping It Together", Garnet suspected Peridot had ill intentions toward the Earth, specifically regarding the reactivation of the Kindergarten. After "Catch and Release", Garnet is willing to tolerate Peridot living in Steven's Bathroom due to her having critical information regarding the Cluster, though she finds her irritating. In "Too Far", Garnet reacted to Peridot's request for her to unfuse by humorously leashing her to a fence, denying her free-roam of the barn. She also did not trust Peridot to wander off alone, instructing that she must have a chaperone at all times. In "Message Received", Garnet officially accepted Peridot as a Crystal Gem, though she jokingly made it out like it was a forced-upon position. In "Log Date 7 15 2", Garnet has shown some sympathy towards Peridot's situation on Earth, likely as she also found Earth to be a very confusing place. She also respects that Peridot attempted to fuse as a way of understanding why Garnet remains a fusion.

Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond “ She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw your fusion.

” —Pearl to Sapphire in "Now We're Only Falling Apart" Rose settling down Garnet. Rose settling down Garnet.

Garnet was a major catalyst in defining Rose Quartz's goal in making Earth a haven for gems to discover themselves and be free. As shown in "The Answer", Rose is one of the first Gems to accept and understand who Garnet really is—a fusion between two Gems who love each other—and it is primarily for this reason that Garnet holds Rose in high regard. This respect runs so deep that, when Peridot insulted Rose and blamed her for the Cluster's creation in "It Could've Been Great", Garnet was provoked into visibly threatening to harm Peridot.

This relationship is further detailed in "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and "The Question". At first, Rose Quartz's primary goal was to repel every Gem off the Earth, but her goal was redefined when she and Pearl saw Garnet forming for the first time. Furthermore, their first contact as pictured in "The Answer" seems to have defined Garnet's behavior for the next millennia up until the present time, staying fused without ever questioning why. This falls apart during the "Heart of the Crystal Gems" arc, where Ruby and Sapphire realize that they had not formed Garnet out of their whole free will all this time and that both Gems were greatly influenced by the admiration they felt towards Rose in doing so.

Greg Universe “ Let me tell you something, Mr. Universe. I think you can do it, but it won't work if you dance like Pearl. You have to dance like you. You have to fuse your way. Get open, get honest, invent yourselves together. That's fusion.

” —Garnet in "We Need to Talk" Garnet shaking Greg's hand in gratitude. Garnet shaking Greg's hand in gratitude.

When she first met Greg, she treated him as an intruder in the temple and intended to evict him by force, intimidating him however she could. While not being openly opposed to or in favor of Greg, she does say that Steven should be in contact with him.

"The Message" reveals that she is the Crystal Gem who has the most faith in Greg, telling him not to feel bad that he failed to decode the message as well as convincing Pearl to give him a second chance at it. In "We Need to Talk", she also seems to think favorably of him as she supported his and Rose's relationship, revealing that she thought highly of him back then.

She even goes so far as to give him some advice on how to have a closer connection with Rose and encouraged him not to give up on trying to learn how to fuse with her. The end of the episode reveals that she knew (with her future vision) that Greg would not have been able to fuse with Rose, but by confronting her about it, he would force her to talk about their relationship and the two would come out of the argument closer to each other.

Garnet also casually revealed to Greg that she has three eyes as she lowered her shades to wink at him. Also, Greg knew that Garnet was a fusion in "Keystone Motel", meaning that Garnet showed him Ruby and Sapphire at some point, something not even Steven knew about until "Jail Break".

In "Steven's Dream", after Greg was captured by Blue Diamond, Garnet tells Steven that "We're going to space. We're going to get him back," which suggests that she cares about Greg.

Jamie “ You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children, you even convinced yourself. You're a fantastic actor.

” —Garnet in "Love Letters" Garnet discussing the topic of love with Jamie. Garnet discussing the topic of love with Jamie.

Jamie's first encounter with Garnet left him infatuated with her; Garnet did not return the sentiment, already being a relationship in and of herself. After bluntly turning him down and breaking his heart, she calmly explained to him that he had confused his feelings for those of true love. Seeing his potential as a great stage actor, she then encouraged him to take up work at a local theater.

Hand Cluster “ They were forced together... They were forced to fuse! This is wrong!

” —Garnet in "Keeping It Together" Garnet crying over the appearance of her former comrades. Garnet crying over the appearance of her former comrades.

Garnet is deeply disturbed by the Hand Cluster, and the sight of it unsettles her to the point that she almost unfuses. At the same time, she is sympathetic to it, and instead, she directs her fury against Homeworld, which she believes did this to them as a cruel punishment for the Rebellion.

She mentions details of their previous lives such as the fact that they were buried together after having gone missing after the war, stating that the Crystal Gems had searched for them but could not find them.

Jasper “ ♫ If you break us apart we'll just come back newer, and we'll always be twice the Gem that you are! ♫

” —Garnet, "Jail Break" Garnet and Jasper fighting. Garnet and Jasper fighting.

Jasper looks down on Garnet for being a fusion, which she considers a cheap tactic used to make weak Gems stronger. Garnet, however, thinks nothing of Jasper's provocation and proceeds to fight her "one on two".

After Garnet emerges victorious, Jasper fuses with Lapis Lazuli to form Malachite and is subsequently trapped at the bottom of the ocean. Up until the events of "Super Watermelon Island", Garnet regularly searched for Malachite within the Earth's oceans. After learning of Malachite's location at Mask Island, Garnet fused with Amethyst and Pearl to form Alexandrite to combat the rogue fusion in a massive battle. Jasper talking through Malachite reveals that she no longer considers fusion a cheap trick, but now sees it as a viable combat tactic. With the help of Steven, who had entered the mind of a Watermelon Steven and rallied the rest to defend themselves, Alexandrite managed to defeat Malachite, and upon the rogue fusion poofing, catches Jasper as well as Lapis Lazuli in mid-air. The Crystal Gems save Lapis Lazuli, but Jasper is last seen falling into a fissure caused by the massive earthquakes from The Cluster attempting to emerge.

Bismuth “ Garnet, remember when you and I took on a battalion of Quartz soldiers? We walked out with our stones shining brighter than when we walked in.

” —Bismuth, "Bismuth" Garnet and Bismuth while training. Garnet and Bismuth while training.

Garnet is shown to be openly friendly towards Bismuth, having been close comrades during the Rebellion. Upon being reunited for the first time since the war, the two are shown joking and laughing together. At the Gem Battlefield, Garnet comforts Bismuth when the latter learns of the results of the war. They also reminisce about a battle they had fought together in. Garnet, along with the other Crystal Gems, feel sadness when they learn the truth about what happened to Bismuth before placing her bubbled gem in the burning room. Following the revelation that Rose had secretly been Pink Diamond and Garnet's unfusing due to shock, Ruby and Sapphire eventually refused at their wedding for which Bismuth served as maid of honor upon being unbubbled by Steven. Garnet and Bismuth are shown to be on friendly terms once again, the former even using the weapons enhancements the latter made for her, which Garnet had stopped using previously while Bismuth was still bubbled.

Lapis Lazuli Garnet summoning her weapon upon seeing Lapis. Garnet summoning her weapon upon seeing Lapis.

Along with the other Crystal Gems, Garnet's first reaction to seeing Lapis was to draw her weapons, as she was a gem aligned with Homeworld. This caused their relationship to start badly, Lapis seeing the Crystal Gems as the enemy. During and after the events of "Jail Break", Garnet seems to hold no hostility towards Lapis, the only thing stopping them from freeing her being that the ship is soon collapsing. This is further expanded in "Gem Drill" when Garnet and the other Crystal Gems recover Lapis after defeating Malachite and bring her to the barn so she could recuperate. While their current views of each other are unclear, Ruby has shown an effort to be friendly with Lapis in "Hit the Diamond" by offering a high-five, to which the latter accepts.

In "Earthlings", Garnet and Pearl reunited with Lapis to deal with the Rubies coming back. In "Gem Harvest", Lapis and the Crystal Gems, including Garnet, seemed to have warmed up to each other, eating dinner together with the rest of the Crystal Gems and seemingly having fun.

While the two seldom interacted, they are on good terms, with Lapis officially joining the ranks of the Crystal Gems.

“ Garnet? Does that call herself a Garnet?

” —Blue Diamond, "Together Alone" Before they were fused, Sapphire was part of Blue Diamond's court but fled due to saving Ruby from Blue Diamond's shattering order due to fusing into Garnet. When Blue Diamond arrives on Earth in "Reunited", she recognizes Garnet as the fusion of the two Gems who disrupted her court. In "Legs From Here to Homeworld", although Blue is not hostile towards Garnet or any of the Gems once Steven's identity is confirmed, Garnet still harbors some hatred towards her, only calming down when Bismuth consoles her. In "Together Alone", Blue Diamond showed prejudice against Garnet, as she is a fusion of two different gems. It seems they're on fair terms in "Change Your Mind" and "I Am My Monster", as shown in the latter when Garnet ordered Blue Diamond to lift everyone up to get to Monster Steven.

Garnet is rarely seen as consuming food or drinking. This is cited in "Keystone Motel", with the clarification that she does enjoy eating from time to time.[6] She later comments in "Future Vision" that she "drinks coffee for breakfast", though it is unclear if this is just a figure of speech. She is also seen eating in the comics. Garnet has complete heterochromia iridium, which means each of her eyes are a different color. Garnet is the only one of the main characters not to speak with an American accent. In her case, she speaks with a British accent. In the crossover with OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Garnet states that she wears her visor to enhance her future vision, and also because they're prescription. At least one of these facts is to be considered canon, as Ian Jones-Quartey stated in a podcast that a canonical fact about Garnet would be stated in the otherwise non-canonical crossover. In "Steven and the Stevens" and "We Need to Talk", it is shown that Garnet knows how to play the keytar and that Greg may have taught her how to play it. Garnet's entry in . Garnet's entry in Guide to the Crystal Gems.

Some of Garnet's aspects are references to her voice actress Estelle due to the latter's stardom, including work as the former. According to Rebecca Sugar, Garnet's favorite music is Estelle's own works.[7] In "Steven's Birthday" Greg and Garnet are seen looking at a "Stella" album. The name and appearance references Shine, the album that earned Estelle her first wave of significant mainstream success, particularly with the song "American Boy". Garnet is the traditional birthstone for January, Estelle's birth month. (Garnet is also the zodiacal stone for Capricorn and the second anniversary stone.) According to Rebecca Sugar, Garnet's fighting and dancing styles are based on waacking and Estelle's own dancing.[8] According to Ian Jones-Quartey, Rebecca Sugar planned Garnet to be a fusion long before the Pilot, which also includes the fact that Ruby and Sapphire would be the two Gems to make her.[9] Several hints were given to show that Garnet was a fusion, which was not revealed until "Jail Break". During the Crystal Gems' introductions in the Pilot, Garnet has chunks of red and blue gemstones laying around her. During the Pilot, the original design of the Crystal Temple had the palm gemstones colored as red and blue, unlike the final iteration which leaves the gemstones uncolored.Pilot Crystal Temple gemstone colors. Pilot Crystal Temple gemstone colors.

During the intro, Garnet has two shooting stars on her title card, unlike every other Crystal Gem member's one.[10] During the scene where Alexandrite breaks up in "Fusion Cuisine", Garnet's silhouette is shaped as two individual gems, Ruby and Sapphire holding hands to stay together, while Pearl and Amethyst are seen separately with their most distinct silhouettes.Garnet fusion hint in "Fusion Cuisine". Garnet fusion hint in "Fusion Cuisine".

In "Steven and the Stevens", Garnet was playing a keytar, which is a fusion of a keyboard and guitar. In "Monster Buddies", Amethyst refers to Garnet as "the G-Squad," with the "Squad" in question being Ruby and Sapphire. Garnet's door involves two active lights, red and blue, unlike the other members of the Crystal Gems, who only have one active light each. The red light is for Ruby while the blue light is for Sapphire. In "Alone Together", Garnet mentions she does not have trouble fusing. Throughout the series, Garnet has never asked a question of any kind. In "Know Your Fusion", when Pearl asks Garnet to question Steven and Amethyst, she replies that she "can't", implying that this is an order rather than a choice. It is most likely dated back to "The Answer" when Garnet first met Rose Quartz, who told her to not question themselves and to ask "no more questions". Rebecca described this moment as a pact in the podcast; as Rose had yet to be revealed as Pink Diamond, Rebecca added that it was a pact that "[the show] will go into very soon."[4] Ian Jones-Quartey's favorite Gem is Garnet.[11] In the Guide to the Crystal Gems Garnet describes herself as "electric" because she is a combination of Ruby's "hot" and Sapphire's "cold." In real life, it is possible to form electricity from "hot" and "cold", when cold air and hot air meet in the sky, it causes the water in the clouds to rub against each other and form static electricity inside. After it has "charged up", super voltage electricity will break through the resistance of air and strike to the ground, which is lightning. In “The Message”, Garnet actually generates electricity with her gauntlets, implying she was speaking literally in her entry. Garnet's square-based design may likely be a reference to actual garnet gemstones, which are formed in the cubic crystal system. Garnet's bass was inspired by Michael Jackson.[12] Additionally, her expanded musical palette utilizes synth bells and pads, specifically designed for her. Also, her music was reverse-engineered to create Ruby and Sapphire's instruments, which were seen in "Keystone Motel". Each of Garnet's forms appears to be based on different types of garnet gemstones. Her form when she first fused, with its light blues, pinks, and reds, greatly resembles the rarest form of color change garnet with the same colors. Her debut form, consisting of reds, blacks, and browns, resembled normal red, Almandine, or Pyrope garnet. Her current regeneration, with a new palette of dark purples, violets, and magentas, is extremely similar to Rhodolite, a variety of pyrope, which itself is a member of the garnet group. According to an interview statement from Lamar Abrams, she and Greg regularly play tennis.[13] This is later shown in "Letters to Lars". In "Know Your Fusion", an illustration of Garnet is seen on a "test your strength" device. On this device, Garnet is considered stronger than Pearl and Stevonnie, but not stronger than Opal. In "Three Gems and a Baby", it is revealed that when Steven was a baby, after seeing his gem glow for the first time, Garnet believed that Steven was a unique Gem Fusion. In October 2016, Rebecca Sugar held a book signing for "The Answer" in NYC where she used a limited edition Garnet stamp of her design. It was retired afterward and printed only during that event. During the episode "Are You My Dad?", despite being asked to draw Aquamarine based on Steven's description, Garnet just draws herself, stating "Uh, I like me." According to sketches in Steven Universe: Art & Origins, some Garnet was also considered to be called "Zircon" and "Onyx". The name "Zircon" would later be used for two new Gems in "The Trial", though an Onyx gem would not make it to the final product. Garnets are associated with strength, bravery, love, determination, and self-confidence, all characteristics that fit in with Garnet's personality. According to Rebecca Sugar in an interview, Garnet can see multiple futures, while Sapphire is only able to see one single main time stream.[14] Garnet unfused once per season until the Season 5 episode "Together Alone". Garnet's orange star-shaped visors in her new form bear a resemblance to the glasses Simon wears as a way to honor Kamina, who Garnet shares her leadership role with, from the Mecha Anime Gurren Lagann. Garnet's wedding rings are seemingly part of her form since, in "Together Alone", they did not drop as physical objects would when she was poofed, rather reforming with her much like her visor. This is confirmed in the movie, where, after regaining her memories, her rings are shown reforming on her fingers. It's possible that, similar to the weapon upgrades she made, the rings Bismuth made are capable of becoming one with the wearer's physical form. In a Twitter post by Cartoon Network promoting the National Basketball Association, Garnet's height is listed as being 7'3. (Measured from the top of her hair to the bottom of her feet.)[15] Gemstones Image Description Garnet sapphire gem day Sapphire's gemstone on Garnet; it has a crimson red complexion with a triangular facet.

It is located on her right palm. Garnet ruby gem day Ruby's gemstone on Garnet; it has a crimson red complexion with a square facet.

Garnet is a fusion Gem comprised of Ruby and Sapphire. She was first formed by accident 5,752 years ago when fusion between two different types of Gems was unheard of. She has mostly stayed together since then.

Pre-Series The Answer 110 During the Crystal Gem raid on Blue Diamond's court at the start of the Rebellion, Ruby saved Sapphire from being harmed by Pearl, causing them to accidentally fuse. When Garnet is formed, she is confused and doesn't understand what she is, since Ruby only ever fused with other Rubies and Sapphire never fused at all. Garnet quickly loses form as Blue Diamond's court closes in on her, since fusion between different kinds of Gems is strictly prohibited. In order to save Ruby, who blamed herself for the ordeal, Sapphire fled with her and the two became outcasts, able to form Garnet again. Garnet had trouble getting used to being a fusion at first, and tripped down a hill, where she was found by Rose Quartz and Pearl. Garnet explained her confusion to Rose, to which she replied that it was perfectly fine to be a fusion, recruiting her to the Crystal Gems.

Your Mother and Mine (257) During the Rebellion, Garnet fought in order to live freely as a fusion and preserve Ruby and Sapphire's love for each other. She described a specific battle of the war as "a maelstrom of destruction and death". Bismuth also revealed that her and Garnet took on a battalion of Quartz soldiers together, to which Garnet corrects her to battalions. Garnet was aware that Pink Diamond was shattered during the war, believing the culprit to be Rose Quartz like the other Crystal and Homeworld Gems. Garnet and Pearl were both protected by Rose's Shield from the Corrupting Light at the end of the war.

Over the thousands of years following the war, Garnet lived with Rose Quartz and Pearl at the Crystal Temple. There, she assisted the team in containing Corrupted Gems and performing other duties in order to protect the Earth and its inhabitants. Eventually, Garnet met Amethyst after the Gems find her at the Prime Kindergarten.

At some point hundreds of years ago, Garnet and Pearl met Buddy Buddwick when he was exploring the Strawberry Battlefield. Pearl draws a map for Buddy of dangerous places not to visit, and Garnet tells him that "Only the bravest, most courageous, most memorable explorers would dare to visit these fascinating places.". Also around this time, Garnet and the other Gems helped a sailor who fell overboard into shark infested water, as shown in an old Gem painting. Garnet, specifically, is punching a shark away from the boat.

When Greg Universe first came to the Temple looking for Rose about 20–30 years ago, Garnet had just been coming back from containing a Corrupted Gem. She tells Greg to state his purpose, and threatens to throw him back over the fence that was supposed to keep humans out in the first place. Garnet and Amethyst chuckle when Pearl becomes noticeably jealous of Rose and Greg's relationship. Another time, Greg is singing a duet with Rose, and all the Crystal Gems are playing instruments except for Rose. Garnet is playing her keytar. After witnessing Rose and Pearl fuse, Greg goes to Garnet for advice on fusing with Rose. Garnet explains that "First you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need a partner you can trust with that light.". Garnet encourages Greg, telling him that she thinks he can fuse with Rose if he danced like himself. When Pearl becomes jealous and asks why they are still dancing after the fusion failed, Garnet explains that it did work.

Three Gems and a Baby 154 After Rose and Greg have Steven, Garnet becomes the de facto leader of the Crystal Gems. One day during a winter storm, the Crystal Gems come to Vidalia's House to drop off presents for Steven. Garnet's present is a razor, and says that he'll need it in the future. When Steven gets excited, his Gem glows, leading Garnet to believe that it's Rose. Greg couldn't figure out why his Gem was glowing, leading to the Gems to kidnap the baby to figure it out themselves. Garnet explains to the other Gems that she believes Steven is a fusion, and Rose is just trying to unfuse. Garnet unfuses to show Steven what to do, but this only results in the baby crying. Garnet fuses once more, and says "I'm here! You know me! You know them, too! I don't understand!". After realizing Steven is his own being, Garnet tells the Gems that from now on, everything has to be about Steven, not Rose. As Steven grows up, Garnet assists in building a Beach House for him to live in.

Season 1 "Gem Glow" Gem Glow (058) Steven visits the Big Donut, where he becomes distraught after finding that the Cookie Cat ice cream brand has been discontinued because a recent competitor, Lion Lickers, has become more popular in sales. When he gets home, he finds Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet locked in battle with Centipeetles that have invaded Steven's room. They destroy most of them, but do not find the gems they usually receive after "poofing" a Gem's form. Garnet believes that the mother Centipeetle must be nearby, controlling the others.

Steven drives one off the fridge and finds a lot of Cookie Cats in the freezer. The Gems explain how they got some from a nearby factory, since they knew that they were his favorite, they decided to buy the last remaining batch for him. He then takes a bite out of a Cookie Cat, and his gem starts to glow. Amethyst tells him to try to summon his weapon, but Steven does not know how. Eventually, his gem stops glowing, leaving Steven disappointed. He asks to be taught how to summon a weapon, and he visits Garnet last, on the top of the Crystal Temple. He asks if he has to train hard and not worry at the same time, to which she replies affirmatively. She tells him the alternative is to link his mind with all existing matter and to channel the collective energy of the universe through his gem, which is her method for pulling out her gauntlets. Steven remains utterly confused.

Garnet gauntlets Steven decides to do it his own way, by recreating what happened when his gem started to glow. He attempts to make everything exactly as it was before, and sings his song again. This fails, and he wonders whether if he is not cut out to be a Crystal Gem. The others say that he is being silly, and reassure him that he is one of them. He eats another Cookie Cat in reassurance when his gem suddenly starts glowing brighter than it did before. It glows to the point where his weapon is finally revealed: a shield. Steven concludes that he can summon his weapon by eating ice cream.

The ground suddenly starts rumbling, and the mother Centipeetle appears outside. Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet go outside, but tell Steven to stay inside. The Gems become trapped, losing the battle. Steven fails to summon his shield and decides to retreat. When he sees the Cookie Cat freezer is damaged by the mother, he becomes distraught and gets a new wave of courage. He grabs the freezer by the plug and throws the broken freezer at the mother, electrocuting her. The Gems then defeat the mother, and Garnet bubbles her gem, sending it to the temple. With the assurance of the Crystal Gems, he resolves that he is unable to summon his weapon by eating ice cream. Then the Gems cheer him up by saying that he will be able to figure it out, "in his own Steven-y way".

"Laser Light Cannon" Laser Light Cannon 035 Amethyst and Steven join Garnet and Pearl at the beach to come up with a plan to stop the eyeball, referred to as a Red Eye. Garnet tries throwing Amethyst at it, but to no avail. The only way the Crystal Gems can think of to destroy it is to use Rose Quartz's laser light cannon, the issue being that none of them know where it is. Steven suggests getting his dad to help, even though the other Gems tell Steven that his dad probably would not have the light cannon. While he is gone, Garnet continues to launch Amethyst at the Red Eye, but she merely bounces off it and plops into the ocean below.

As Steven and Greg arrive at the beach with the laser light cannon, they come across the Gems still launching Amethyst at the Red Eye, which is getting dangerously close to impact with the Earth's surface. Suddenly, the Eye starts emitting a gravitational pull and begins destroying everything in its range. Quickly, the group tries to activate the cannon. They try various methods – looking for a switch and putting Steven's gem near the cannon itself – but nothing works. His dad reassures them that they will find another way, and Steven agrees, repeating the quote: "If every pork chop were perfect, we would not have hot dogs.". Upon the quote being spoken aloud, the cannon glows and opens up in a manner similar to flower petals unraveling, and the barrel falls on the sand. The Gems help Steven lift and aim it at the Red Eye. When the light cannon fully charges, it blasts out a strong beam of light, in the somewhat vague shape of Rose Quartz, which swiftly destroys the incoming entity. The Red Eye explodes into many fragments, damaging several parts of the city, but the damage is overshadowed by the relief of getting rid of the danger just in time.

"Cheeseburger Backpack" Cheeseburger Backpack 223 Steven eagerly runs into the house and sees Garnet covered in feathers. Amethyst is trying to get a gigantic egg into the fridge while Pearl is discouraging her. Pearl begins to tell Steven about how they are only staying for a minute because they need to place the Moon Goddess Statue at the top of the Lunar Sea Spire before midnight or the whole structure will be destroyed. When Steven realizes they need to carry the statue there, he finds this a suiting time to debut his newest piece of gear, his Cheeseburger Backpack.

The Gems agree and decide it would be a good educational trip for him. After packing as many things as he can fit in the backpack, Steven and the Gems take the warp pad to the Lunar Sea Spire. Their first obstacle is getting into the Spire. They have to jump a gap that Garnet says is magically protected with a gravitational force pulling down towards the water. Steven goes into his backpack and pulls out the first of his odd items he brought along with him: sweaters. He ties them together and throws them towards the Spire, using them as a rope swing. After he succeeds, Amethyst pulls out her whip and brings the rest of the Gems over.

Later, Steven throws some bagels from his backpack into the room, diverting the Crystal shrimp and clearing a path for them. The Gems are so impressed with his ingenuity that when a ravine forms in front of them and fills with water, they immediately look to him for a plan. Steven reaches into the backpack and pulls out the first sensible item he packed: a raft. Unfortunately, as soon as he tosses it into the water, it is carried down a waterfall. Garnet kicks over a column to use as a bridge, but says that Steven had a nice idea anyway. They pass over the bridge that Garnet had made for them and begin to trek up to the top of the spire. Once they are at the top, they see a beautiful view of the sky and realize that it is not yet midnight and they still have time to place the statue and save the spire.

Garnet asks Steven for the statue from his bag. As he rummages through it, he begins to look frantic. Disappointed, he tells the Gems he does not have the statue, but has an alternative. The Gems say it is worth a shot and Steven puts Mr. Queasy where the Moon Goddess Statue was supposed to go. The doll then explodes. The Lunar Sea Spire begins to crumble away as it floods and sinks into the ocean.

Cheeseburger Backpack 328 The Gems one by one pop up from underwater. Steven apologizes that the spire sunk, but Pearl and Amethyst cheer him up saying that 50% of his ideas worked. The raft that went over the edge of the waterfall earlier pops up and they get on it to head back home. Garnet, however, mentions that it is going to be a three-hour paddle to get home.

"Together Breakfast" Together Breakfast 085 Steven is home alone, wondering where the rest of the Crystal Gems are. It is breakfast time, and he is getting hungry. He decides to make breakfast and starts stacking a tower of waffles. He calls for the other Gems, but no one responds. Steven completes the breakfast with a finishing touch: a strawberry garnish on top. After several additional attempts to gather the Gems, Steven gives up, rather upset. He made such a beautiful Together Breakfast and does not want to eat it without the Gems.

Garnet comes in and Steven asks if she would like to have some of his together breakfast, but she declines because she has to go into the Crystal Temple to burn something. She shows him a scroll with strange patterns and voices emanating from it. Steven thinks it is cool and takes a picture of it with his phone, but Garnet quickly snatches it off him, says she now has to burn that too and leaves.

After going through Pearl and Amethyst's rooms, Steven is chased by Amethyst for the together breakfast. Steven eventually jumps onto a red glowing pole. Steven looks down, panics, and falls down into the depths of the Temple. He sees Garnet standing by a pool of lava where she breaks his phone and tosses it in. She begins burning the scroll when the other Gems arrive, whispering to Steven that they should leave. Instead, excited that they are all finally in the same room, he calls out to Garnet, distracting her. The soul escapes from its containment orb and expands into a large dark cloud.

The Smoke Monster squashes Garnet and Amethyst with a waffle. After seeing it hurt his friends, Steven pushes it into the lava and destroy it. Steven apologizes, saying that all he wanted was to have breakfast with the other Gems. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl help Steven make another together breakfast which is bigger and better so they can all share it. They finish it and get ready to eat it, but then they realize that they do not have the appetite to eat something that almost killed them, so they decide to order a pizza instead.

"Cat Fingers" Cat Fingers (268) Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst head out to sea on the Gem Sloop to fight a "living island". As they start to leave, Steven tries to swim after them. Pearl wants to stay behind to help Steven with his cat fingers, but Garnet says they can not because their mission deals with a tectonic emergency. Pearl tells Steven to stay calm as they leave.

When the Gems return to Beach City the next day, they discover Steven no longer has cat fingers. Pearl states the lesson learned is to always listen to her and never to Amethyst, to which Garnet responds that the lesson learned is to have more faith in Steven. The Gems walk away in annoyance as Steven starts to tell them cat puns.

"Bubble Buddies" Bubble Buddies (280) Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst are walking toward the Beach House. Steven's bike rolls down the hill and stops in front of them as he comes running after it. Steven rides away and the Gems go inside. From the house, the Gems watch Steven try to impress Connie with his bike before falling on it and running away in embarrassment. Steven runs inside the house and quickly closes the door behind him. The Gems question him about Connie. He implies that he wants to be her friend, so Garnet tells him to just talk to her. Steven takes this advice and tells the Gems not to watch him because it would mess up his "funky flow". He leaves after getting Connie's bracelet from the fridge. Later on, the Gems run to the pier where Steven had trapped and poofed Orange Spodumene. Garnet bubbles the corrupted gem. Amethyst and Pearl begin to embarrass Steven in front of Connie, but Garnet quickly intervenes. She picks up Amethyst and Pearl, telling them not to mess with Steven's funky flow before carrying them away.

"Serious Steven" Serious Steven (027) Garnet tells Steven that this is his first serious mission. The Gems arrive at the Gem Battlefield, and Steven falls out of the warp stream into a patch of strawberries. While covered in strawberry jelly, Steven is suddenly attacked by a small swarm of butterflies and Garnet says, "They're just butterflies, Steven.". Steven thought they looked bigger when on his eyeballs. As Amethyst laughs at Steven's words, Pearl thinks she is having second thoughts of having Steven with them but Garnet shushes her and says just look at him.

Serious Steven (097) Eventually, the Gems find a large, upside down pyramid temple. Steven finds a strange, smaller pyramid and touches it, causing it to flip over. Everyone inside then begins to gravitate towards a hole in the ceiling. Eventually, they fall into a large room with multiple doors. Pearl decides the group should split up and suggests that she should stay with Steven. Garnet chooses to take Steven with her while Pearl goes with Amethyst. Garnet and Steven travel through three trap rooms, with Steven usually needing to be saved or carried by her.

In the third room, which is filled with axes, fire, spikes, and lava, Steven feels queasy and has a flashback to the Funland trip two weeks ago, where he and the Crystal Gems went on the teacup ride. Steven was riding with Garnet, but Steven eventually gets sick and falls out of the ride, landing on Harold Smiley and breaking the lever. The ride speeds out of control, sending all the teacups flying with the riders inside. Back in the present, Steven awakens to realize Garnet carried him through the third room because he fell asleep.

After exiting, they find themselves in the room where they started. Pearl finds them and tells Garnet that they always arrive back where they started after three rooms no matter which path they take. Steven asks Garnet what they should do. She says they will have to keep going in as long as it takes for them to find the exit. Horrified, Steven has a small breakdown as he believes it is his fault he is in this situation, just like with the teacups. However, Steven realizes that the temple must have been like the teacup ride. Each room they entered rotated to connect them to another room, sending them out another door leading into the main chamber.

Garnet breaks through the floor and they all fall into a large mechanism that causes the temple's rooms to rotate. Garnet throws Steven at his request to the centerpiece and he removes the gem controlling it, causing the temple to explode. The Gems emerge from the rubble and compliment Steven on his ingenuity.

"Tiger Millionaire" Tiger Millionare 015 The Gems return to the temple. Pearl is seen yelling at Amethyst for being too "childish" on their mission, and when Amethyst looks at Garnet for support, she agrees with Pearl instead.

Later, she and Pearl discover Amethyst and Steven's night-time occupation when they find the flyers Steven created to advertise the final match. After scolding them, Garnet demands them to return to the temple. Amethyst refuses, and she begins fighting Garnet. Steven interrupts and tells the crowd Purple Puma's backstory, helping Garnet and Pearl understand Amethyst's reasons for wrestling. The audience begins chanting for a fight between the two groups. Garnet replies "No.", saying she and Pearl are "The Notorious Order of Wrestling Haters". The four pretend to fight in order to please the crowd; Garnet and Pearl let Tiger and Puma win, ending the match. Garnet, who has been dubbed as "Captain Square", and Amethyst apologize to each other.

"Steven's Lion" Steven's Lion (081) The Gems and Steven are trekking through the desert, littered with large sandstone columns which erect and dissipate at random. Garnet explains that the "Power in the structure has turned aimless." and thus, was raising stand alone structures at random. Suddenly, a loud roar interrupts their conversation and the Gems run off to investigate, leaving an exhausted Steven behind.

Not too long after, a large explosion sends out a blast of sand, burying Steven and a lion. The Gems approach after defeating the monster which held the Gem powering the structure known as the Desert Glass, a red velvet pillow encrusted with a large, green gem (which Amethyst claimed as hers since she delivered the killing blow). Upon seeing Steven with the lion, they quickly take up arms, only for Steven to assure them the lion means no harm. Steven says his goodbyes as they exit the Desert and return to the Crystal Temple.

Later Steven finds the lion back at his home, getting there just as he tears the door down. It later becomes apparent that he is after the Desert Glass. This revelation angers and disheartens Steven, who becomes frustrated with the lion and subsequently throws the pillow off the balcony and onto the beach. The ground suddenly begins to quake and massive sandstone columns begin to erect around the gem. The Gems run outside and Pearl explains that the Desert Glass is attempting to "rebuild its castle".

Steven's Lion (274) Meanwhile, the pillow engenders a massive sandstorm and wall which not even Garnet is able to penetrate. Steven, being caught inside, realizes that he must retrieve the gem from atop the central tower. Upon almost reaching the top, the sand structure morphs and forces Steven to fall from a great height, only to be caught by the lion. Steven realizes the lion only wanted to protect them from the pillow, and the lion uses a magical roar to destroy the sand structures around them. They then burst through the top of the tower and retrieve the gem and all the sand structures dissipate shortly thereafter. Steven indirectly asks the Gems if he can keep the Lion, which they (specifically Garnet) indirectly agree to.

"Arcade Mania" Vlcsnap-2016-01-26-20h35m45s057 The Crystal Gems are searching a cave for a corrupted gem. The ledge Steven is standing on suddenly crumbles away and he falls off the cliff. Garnet catches him at the bottom, where they encounter the gem monster. It begins to shoot its drill parasites at them. Garnet dodges them and charges the monster. She dodges and blocks its attacks before summoning one of her gauntlets and punching it through the mouth. The monster poofs and Garnet bubbles its gem. Steven watches in amazement and compliments her. Pearl points out the parasites, which burrow into the ground and escape. Amethyst jumps into one of the drilled holes in an attempt to catch them. Garnet says to let them go and pulls Amethyst out of the ground.

SU - Arcade Mania Steven Pushing Garnet Later on, Steven takes the Gems to Funland Arcade as a reward for their hard work. Steven introduces the game, Teens of Rage, to Garnet. She misunderstands his advice, however, and punches the screen, destroying the game. Steven shows her Punch Buddy, but she subsequently destroys it as well. He frantically searches for another game and leads Garnet to Meat Beat Mania. He hands her the controllers and she begins to play. Steven decides it is time to leave when Mr. Smiley discovers the broken games. As Steven is leaving with Pearl and Amethyst, he calls to Garnet, but she continues to play.

The next day, Steven, Pearl, and Amethyst are attacked by the drill parasites. Steven realizes they need Garnet and heads to the arcade where he finds her stuck in a trance playing Meat Beat Mania. Steven climbs on top of her and waves his hand in front of her eyes, trying to snap her out of the trance. He removes her shades and falls off in surprise of her third eye, which is moving rapidly with the pace of the game. He unplugs the machine, but Garnet simply reactivates the game by sending electricity through it. Steven then tries to end the game by beating Garnet as the second player. He is unable to win, and in frustration, rips off the grill of the machine and smashes it into the screen. Garnet finally snaps out of the trance and joins Pearl and Amethyst outside in fighting the drill parasites.

"Giant Woman" Garnet sends Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven to find the Heaven Beetle at the Sky Spire. Meanwhile, she heads to the center of the Earth to locate the Earth Beetle. She greets Steven and Opal as they return, taking the Heaven Beetle and putting her in a terrarium with the Earth Beetle. After bubbling the terrarium, she tells Steven that he'll be great at fusing one day.

"So Many Birthdays" So Many Birthdays 017 While the Gems are exploring Amethyst's room, Steven notices a photo of the Gems and Rose Quartz in pioneer clothes. Pearl states that the gems in the photo were them many years ago. Pearl tells Steven that they are immortal and do not age, although they can still get injured and die, which upsets Steven. Steven is amazed at their age, at which he remarks how they can find a birthday cake large enough for all those candles. Garnet then says that they do not celebrate birthdays, stating, "It's not our way". Steven is flabbergasted by this and decides to make up all the birthdays that they missed.

Lastly, Steven throws a party for Garnet, featuring kazoo-racers. Before doing anything, Garnet and Pearl tell Steven that they are just "too big" for parties. This makes Steven deeply think about the childish things he does. Distraught, Steven wanders into town, contemplating the nature of birthdays and aging. His forlorn attitude inadvertently activated his gemstone, resulting in him aging into a teenager.

Steven starts running back home, aging rapidly as he runs. While the Gems clean up the supplies from Steven's birthday parties to them, Pearl admits that the parties were fun with Garnet still wearing Steven's Birthday Suit saying it "makes her important" before Lion arrives with Steven. Horrified, the Gems try to reverse his age by hosting many birthday parties, but instead of becoming younger Steven ages even more. Pearl, who could not bear to look at Steven aging rapidly, could not bring herself to help them. She and Amethyst freeze when they see Garnet walking over to Steven, awaiting her response to the worsening situation.

So Many Birthdays 189 Garnet picks up Steven and violently shakes him back and forth. Pearl and Amethyst rush over to stop Garnet, shocked and appalled by her desperate actions. When they finally get her to stop, she explains that she thought violence would be the answer. The three of them all begin to argue about what to do, and a fading Steven watches them from the ground. Garnet begins to cry, when suddenly, Steven begins to speak, standing up straight, telling the Gems to control themselves, turning younger as he speaks.The Gems figure out that Steven is aging due to his Gem reacting to his state of mind. They manage to get him to feel like himself again, assuring him that he does not need to feel like he is being childish if he is just being himself. He returns to his normal age, but notices that he still has adult legs. Steven realizes this, and jokingly dances around and laughs before the star iris closes in.

"Lars and the Cool Kids" Lars and the Cool Kids (040) Steven and the Gems observe a lagoon with dangerous, fast-growing clinging moss. The moss originated from a nearby hill where it was planted by Rose. According to Pearl, despite the danger the moss showed, Rose planted it there because she saw beauty in everything, "no matter how gross". To keep humans away until the moss could be properly dealt with, Pearl materializes some police tape from her gemstone, and the Gems cover the entrance to the area.

"Onion Trade" Steven once again attempts to trade for "Ranger Guy" by replicating "Dave Guy". Eventually, Onion comes to Steven and asks him for the Replicator Wand instead. Ultimately, Steven gives in, handing Onion the wand for "Ranger Guy". The wand is to Onion's liking, and he accepts the trade.

Onion Trade 133 As time passes, Onion begins to replicate countless numbers of G.U.Y. toy balls. When the Gems question the situation, Steven reveals how he traded the wand for Ranger G.U.Y., and Pearl asks why he did not just use it to replicate the toy. The Gems, bombarded by Onion's attacks, fail to coerce Onion into handing over the Replicator Wand. While the Gems are distracting him, Steven jumps on Onion and causes him to drop the wand. He realizes that Onion had stolen his Ranger Guy, but lets him keep it because he realizes all Onion does is "sit around and wait for his dad". Garnet then destroys the Replicator Wand, which results in the disintegration of every replicated item.

"Steven the Sword Fighter" Steven The Sword Fighter 118 The Crystal Gems are watching a movie, "Lonely Blade IV", in Steven's room. Garnet shushes Pearl, who keeps talking about the ridiculous aspects of the movie, such as the poor sword fighting. Pearl offers to demonstrate to Steven proper sword techniques. The Gems head to a large arena. Pearl states that she will need a sparring partner in order to give a proper demonstration. Steven begins to raise his hand but Garnet immediately pushes it down. Pearl summons a Holo-Pearl and has a duel with it. After winning, she activates training mode on the Holo-Pearl to teach Steven. He distracts her, however, and she is impaled by the Holo-Pearl causing her form to dissipate. Garnet and Amethyst reassure Steven that Pearl will be fine and just needs to regenerate.

About two weeks later, Steven spends time with Holo-Pearl because he misses Pearl, who still has not reformed. Garnet tells Steven to have patience and to stop hanging out with Holo-Pearl because it is creepy. Later on, Garnet and Amethyst enter the Beach House just as Steven destroys Holo-Pearl. They then watch Pearl reform.

"Lion 2: The Movie" Steven and Connie are in the Beach House watching a trailer for a movie on Connie's phone. The Gems warp in and Connie shows them the trailer. Steven and Connie leave for the movie.

"Beach Party" Beach Party 049 The Crystal Gems are fighting a corrupted gem, resembling a pufferfish, on the beach. During the fight, Garnet attempts to attack the monster from above, but it blows her away and she lands on the roof of Fish Stew Pizza. After Amethyst shapeshifts into a giant baseball bat and hits the pufferfish far out into the sea, they head over to Garnet. Kofi is furiously yelling at Garnet for destroying the sign of his restaurant. She does not respond to him and goes back to the Beach House with Pearl and Amethyst. Steven arrives later and informs the Gems that they have been banned from Fish Stew Pizza. To his surprise, they respond with indifference. Steven asks them what is the point of saving people if they are just going to ban them from their pizza shops, to which Garnet replies that they do not do it for gratitude. Steven decides to throw a party so that the Pizzas can get to know the Gems.

Beach Party 122 As Steven is preparing the party on the beach, the Gems show up. He asks them to change their outfits so that they look more casual. The Pizzas soon arrive and the Gems introduce themselves while transforming into their beach outfits. As they sit down and begin to eat, the topic of conversation eventually moves to the broken sign at Fish Stew Pizza. Steven quickly changes the subject by suggesting they play volleyball. After setting up the court, Steven picks the teams: Amethyst and Jenny, Pearl and Kiki, Garnet and Kofi, and himself with Nanefua. As they play, the unconventional tactics used by both the Gems and the Pizzas lead to arguments.

While they are arguing, the pufferfish returns. The Gems grab the Pizzas and move them away. Nanefua and Steven quickly come up with a plan to defeat the pufferfish and they tell the others what to do. After Amethyst shapeshifts into a ball, Pearl hits her into the air and Garnet jumps up to catch her. Garnet then hits Amethyst toward the ground who ignites before smashing into the sand, forming a large, spiked structure of glass. The Gems and the Pizzas pull the volleyball net into the pufferfish's face until it is pressed up against the spiked glass. Garnet then drops down on top of it, poofing the corrupted gem. Afterward, Kofi thanks the Gems for their hospitality and for saving his family and unbans them from his shop. Steven thanks him in return but the Gems remain indifferent.

"Rose's Room" The Crystal Gems are in the Crystal Temple and enter the Beach House where they find Steven with four cans of corn. He tells them they can all go play mini-golf using the coupons on the back of the cans. To his disappointment, they inform him that they need to go on a mission; a dangerous artifact has appeared in the Northern Hemisphere and they need to retrieve it. Steven shows them Greg's golf clubs and golf pants that he found and suggests Garnet wear the pants because they are too big for him. Pearl and Amethyst chuckle, but Garnet does not respond. They warp away, leaving Steven behind.

Rose's Room 062 The Gems return the next day, and find Steven playing video games. Garnet shows Steven the Wailing Stone she found. As Pearl explains its function, Amethyst activates it, causing it to emit a high-frequency sound wave. It breaks the screen on Steven's TV before Pearl shuts it off. Frustrated, Steven complains about how it is unfair that he can not play mini-golf or his video game and wishes for a place all to himself. As he says this, his gem glows and the door to Rose's room opens. He approaches it and the Gems try to warn him. Steven, who feels that they have been inconsiderate toward him lately, angrily runs into the room and the door closes behind him, blocking the others.

Rose's Room 201 The Gems anxiously wait outside the Temple Gate. Eventually, the door opens and Steven falls out and lands on Garnet. He immediately bites her arm and is relieved to find she is not made of clouds. Steven informs them how the room had created a "messed up version of Beach City". He apologizes for getting mad earlier and Pearl says to him that they are also sorry. Garnet then tells Steven that they now have time to hang out. They all go play mini-golf and Garnet wears the golf pants.

"Coach Steven" Coach Steven (029) The Crystal Gems warp to the Communication Hub. Steven asks where they are, and Pearl explains how the place once served as a communication hub for gems, but has lately been transmitting bursts of electromagnetic interference. Garnet simplifies her explanation, stating the structure is hurting television. Pearl begins to come up with a plan to destroy it, but Garnet interrupts her, saying they need Sugilite, which greatly excites Amethyst and Steven. Despite Pearl's protest, Garnet and Amethyst fuse into Sugilite and begin destroying the hub. Pearl picks up Steven after he gets hurt by falling debris and they warp away.

Later on, Sugilite returns to the beach, and angrily attacks Pearl for leaving her behind. With encouragement from Steven, Pearl manages to force Sugilite to unfuse. She embraces Garnet and Amethyst, who are in pain from being overworked.

"Steven and the Stevens" The Gems are in the Sea Shrine, looking for the glass of time. Steven picks out the smallest hourglass but Pearl tells him that the glass of time would not be "so small and insignificant", it would be "beautiful and grand." Garnet chooses the biggest hourglass in the sea shrine. Pearl asks how they will transport it to the warp pad, and Garnet claims she can carry it. Pearl stops her, saying that they need to be careful which one they touch, reminding her what happened "last time." Amethyst then makes the call by grabbing an abstract designed hourglass but the sea shrine's roof breaks, resulting in a huge amount of water pouring in.

The Gems are about to leave, but Steven wants to get the small hourglass that he picked earlier. As he runs back, a huge wave of water flows towards him. Garnet shapeshifts her hand, making it large enough to pull Steven away from the danger. The Gems then warp out of the sea shrine and back to the Beach House. When the Gems get back to the house, Steven asks if they will return to the Sea Shrine. Pearl then angrily says that they, unfortunately, have to wait another 100 years for the Sea Shrine to reform. Garnet then changes the subject by telling her that there is a lobster on her butt, to Pearl's dismay.

Steven and the Stevens 265 After Steven destroys the hourglass and the versions of himself from the alternate timelines, he participates in the Beach-a-Palooza with the Crystal Gems, singing "Steven and the Crystal Gems".

"Monster Buddies" The Gems and Steven are fighting Larimar in a snowy mountain while trying to acquire a powerful artifact called the Shooting Star. Garnet slams Larimar into a wall, causing the ice ceiling to start to cave in. The rocks begin to fall on Amethyst and Garnet bubbles Steven, warping him back to the Temple.

Monster Buddies 104 The Crystal Gems come back and see Nephrite out of her bubble. They think that she is a threat, with Garnet about to kill it, but Steven tells them that she did not harm him, and that he will try to her. Garnet allows it, although Pearl still thinks that it is dangerous. Garnet tells Steven that she thinks he can tame Nephrite.

On the beach, Steven wants the Gems to put away their weapons and go inside. Pearl objects but Garnet insists that Steven can do it. After being attacked by a seagull, Nephrite spits acid at the seagull to protect Steven, causing it to fly away scared. Steven eagerly runs up to the house, wanting to show the Gems Nephrite's new "trick". Every time Steven squawks like a seagull, Nephrite spits a stream of acid. One stream almost hits Garnet, another melts a picture of Pearl off of the refrigerator, and another knocks a sandwich out of Amethyst's hand and melts it, much to her dismay. Garnet thinks that the creature's acid venom could be the only way to continue through the ice cavern without causing a cave in.

The Gems and Steven eventually make their way through the cavern to the room containing the Shooting Star. Pearl explains that the Shooting Star is far too hot to touch with bare skin and that Garnet should use her gauntlets. Garnet summons her gauntlets, and the sight of them causes Nephrite to get frightened and spew acid all over the ceiling. Garnet and Amethyst attack Nephrite as Steven tries to convince them to stop. Amethyst accidentally pulls Nephrite directly into herself, Garnet and Pearl, knocking the three over. As Nephrite is about to attack them, Steven approaches her, crying, and asks her to stop. He tells her that she does not need to fight or be a monster anymore, he then hugs Nephrite, calming her down.

Monster Buddies 317 The stalactite breaks from the ceiling and falls straight for Steven, but Nephrite pushes him out of the way, sacrificing herself to save Steven. Garnet comforts Steven, telling him that he did a good job raising Nephrite, and that his mother would be proud of him. She explains that Rose Quartz once used her powers to try to heal the monsters, but was unable to do so.

"An Indirect Kiss" Steven is telling Connie the story of why a fence was installed on the cliff above the temple. In the flashback, Amethyst unexpectedly falls off the cliff and lands on a rock. Steven runs down the cliff as fast as he can and Amethyst shows him her eye, hidden behind her bangs, that has enlarged itself to become googly. Garnet and Pearl run to them and try to get Amethyst to show her gem. Garnet reveals Amethyst's gem has been cracked. Pearl and Garnet inform Steven that Rose Quartz had healing tears. Steven tries to heal Amethyst's gem with tears but is unable to cry. Garnet decides that they go to Rose Quartz's healing spring to heal Amethyst.

At Rose's Fountain, Amethyst tackles Steven out of the way of the thorns, but this further cracks her gem, which causes her head to be swapped with her right foot. Garnet and Pearl, oblivious to the plant's sentience, proceed to make a path through the wall of thorns. Once through to the spring, they see that it too has become overgrown, and is no longer flowing healing water.

An Indirect Kiss 184 Garnet and Pearl leave to find out what stopped the spring, as Amethyst's condition worsens. Steven is sad that he could not save Amethyst and starts to cry. A tear hit the broken gem; however, nothing happens, which upsets him more. Suddenly, the spring begins to work, which causes a massive overflow of healing water which causes the thorns to bloom into roses, and Amethyst to return to normal. Steven exclaims to Pearl how his tears caused the spring to be fixed. Pearl responds that she and Garnet were the real reason behind the renewed spring, that he will never have any real magic powers, and that they no longer want anything to do with him. Steven admits to Connie that Pearl did not actually say those words but he felt as if she did.

"Mirror Gem" Pearl gives Steven a Gem-powered mirror with the intent to teach him about Gem history. Steven later discovers that the mirror is like a person and can communicate by using bits of sentences it hears and combining them to speak. Amazed, Steven plays with it all day on the beach, then returns home to inform the Gems of his discovery, despite the mirror's discomfort with this idea.

Mirror Gem 141 When he arrives home and shows the Gems his new "friend", they all are stunned and fearful that the mirror has a personality. Pearl and Amethyst both seem apprehensive, Pearl saying that it should "only be following orders" and Amethyst asking Garnet to "do something." Garnet then walks over to Steven, and the mirror again shows it is fear with the clip of Steven screaming in protest. Garnet then orders Steven to give it to her, saying that it will be safer with her. The mirror keeps playing the screaming clip in a loop, frightening and confusing Steven. He pleads with Garnet to not take the mirror, saying that it does not want to go with her, but she attempts to assure him that it is just an object that can not want anything. As she reaches closer to the mirror, Steven swipes his hand at her, saying that it wants to be with him, but accidentally slaps Garnet, and her visor falls to the ground, shocking everyone.

Garnet stares furiously at a terrified Steven, who then runs out the door, screaming and apologizing while running down the beach. She then says Steven is in big trouble, while Pearl insists to Garnet that it was only an accident and he did not mean to slap her, and all three Gems proceed out the door after him. Hiding behind a rock on the beach, Steven pleads with the mirror to tell him what he can do to help it. When he begins to pull at the gem, the water around him forms a pattern, and when he finally tugs it out, the mirror breaks. In front of him, the Gem he removed reforms into a humanoid form, unmoving. Steven walks up to the mysterious gem, who gets up and subsequently introduces herself as Lapis Lazuli, a Gem with the ability to manipulate water.

Mirror Gem 184 Garnet yells for Steven, and the rest of the Crystal Gems find them and pull out their weapons. Lapis recognizes Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as Crystal Gems, and attacks them in rage, stating that they knew she was trapped in the mirror but did nothing to help her. She tells Steven to come "home" with her, whose hesitance prompts her to tell him not to trust the Gems while Garnet charges at her. Lapis walks into the ocean, escaping and blocking out Garnet's attack with a wave. The episode ends with Garnet informing Steven that he is grounded.

"Ocean Gem" Ocean Gem 012 The episode picks right off of the previous, with Garnet telling Steven that he is grounded because he disobeyed her order. Before the Gems try to take away his privileges, Greg shows up and tells them to come outside where the Gems see that the ocean is missing. Mayor Dewey, nervous and shouting loudly, blames the Crystal Gems. Garnet tells him that it was Lapis Lazuli, and Pearl explains the current situation. Still upset, Mayor Dewey frantically begs them to fix it. Steven, while inside the Beach House, prepares to find Lapis, as he acknowledges that the whole situation was his fault. Not wanting him to be alone, Connie, Greg, and Lion all want to join him on his quest, with the Gems adding in that they obviously have to go. Garnet also adds that Steven is ungrounded.

Ocean Gem 090 While driving, Greg plays some music that Rose liked, and Garnet, greatly disliking it, jumps out of the van. She spends the rest of the trip riding on top of the van. Before they arrive Steven questions why Lapis is fighting them. Pearl admits that not all Gems are good, and explains that the monsters they fight were Gems that became corrupted and broken. When they arrive, they see a large tower of water that leads into the sky. Lapis, sensing them, yells that they should not be there and should leave her alone, and Steven responds that they are not leaving unless they get the ocean back.

Lapis then makes water clones of the Crystal Gems, and the Gems fight them. Steven, telling Lapis that he does not want to fight anymore, activates his shield due to his anger towards Lapis for attacking Greg and Connie, and his fierce feeling of love to protect them. The resulting vibration from the attack deflecting off of Steven's shield forces the water clones to dissipate. Then Steven, telling Lapis that he is coming up to see her, goes to the top of the tower to talk to Lapis.

After fixing her gem, Lapis' eyes are healed, and she gains wings made out of water. Thanking him, Lapis flies off into space. Suddenly, the tower begins to collapse. Lion and Connie are able to catch Steven as he is falling. When the group returns to Beach City, the residents congratulate Steven as their hero. Garnet acknowledges that Lapis made it off the planet, and Pearl asks what it means for them. Garnet says to wait and see.

"House Guest" House Guest 039 The Crystal Gems are standing in front of It's A Wash. Pearl is examining Greg's damaged van. Greg offers to help Pearl fix his van, but falls back into his office chair after trying to stand. Steven suggests Greg stay with them at the Beach House until his broken leg heals. Amethyst reminds Steven of his healing powers. He attempts to heal Greg's leg, and seemingly fails, becoming disappointed. Garnet reassures Steven, telling him to just give it more time. Pearl asks Garnet to lend her a hand with the van; she lifts it and the engine falls out. Greg moves into the Beach House and spends time with Steven.

Later on, Garnet informs the others of a mission: they must travel to the Geode which has become cracked. Garnet wants Steven to come along too. Steven is reluctant to leave his dad, but Greg assures him that he will be fine. As the Gems are about to leave, Greg tries to appear pitiful. Pearl gives him a warp whistle and Garnet explains that if he blows on it, the warp pad will activate and alert them that they need to return. The Gems warp to the Geode.

As Pearl begins to explain the Geode to Steven, she is interrupted by the warp whistle. Steven leaves but quickly returns. Amethyst jokingly asks him if Greg fell down and broke his butt, to which Garnet replies that that is not funny. After another interruption, Pearl finishes explaining that if the Geode breaks, the synthetic storm contained inside will be released and would vaporize them. Garnet suggests Steven use his healing powers to seal the crack. Steven is unable to seal it, and the Gems try to reassure him as he begins to doubt himself. They return to the Beach House when they hear the warp pad activate again. As they go into the temple, Pearl tells Garnet that they need to quickly come up with another plan to deal with the Geode.

Later on, Pearl finishes fixing Greg's van and he decides to move out. He hugs Pearl in thanks. She feels horrified, and hides behind Garnet.

"Space Race" The Crystal Gems warp to the Galaxy Warp. They check the warp pads there, making sure that all warp pads going off planet are still inactive. Steven marks the inactive pads with stickers and asks where they go to. Pearl explains that they were used to travel to gem-controlled planets all over the universe. Steven asks if they can fix them. Garnet tells him no.

"Secret Team" Secret Team 024 Steven is hanging out with Amethyst in her room jumping into puddles. Steven sticks his head in one of the puddles and sees Garnet in the Burning Room. Amethyst quickly pulls him out, explaining only Garnet is allowed in there. Later on, Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl form a secret team, using VIP(IZZA) coupons as their official card, to collect the gem shards they had accidentally released. After they collect them all, Steven bubbles them and enters the Burning Room through the puddle in Amethyst's room. He is surprised to see Garnet and gasps; she turns her head slightly. Amethyst and Pearl quickly pull Steven out. Amethyst asks him if Garnet saw him, and he replies that he believes she did not. Steven enters the Burning Room again, and places the bubble before leaving.

Later on, Pearl and Amethyst get into an argument, and their secret team is disbanded. Steven, wanting to get the group back together, meets up with Garnet at Fish Stew Pizza, where he reveals to her that he had formed a secret team with Amethyst and Pearl to collect gem shards they had released. Garnet decides to deal with them by forming another secret team. She asks Kiki for a pizza coupon.

Secret Team 178 Garnet meets Pearl in her room carrying Amethyst and Steven and drops them in front of her. She tells them that she knows about the gem shards. Steven decides to take the blame, and Garnet tells him that he will have to be punished. Suddenly, a large, black hand bursts out of the water and pulls Garnet under. It reappears in another fountain, still holding Garnet, before going under again. Steven exclaims they must have missed a gem shard. Two hands burst out of the water and attack Amethyst and Pearl. The hands manage to subdue them and they both claim to be at fault for releasing the shards.

Garnet suddenly emerges from the water. She releases Pearl and Amethyst, shapeshifting her hands back to normal. She tells them that they only seem to get along when she is trying to kill them. Garnet tells Steven that she knows he only wanted to protect them and that they made him feel as if he had to take sides. Addressing them all, she says that there are no sides because they are on the same team: the Crystal Gems. She tears her pizza coupon and drops it, prompting the others to drop theirs.

"Island Adventure" The Crystal Gems travel to Mask Island to look for a corrupted gem. They are unable to find it and decide to check the ocean, believing it may have swum off the island. Steven warps them back to the Beach House. Pearl and Garnet compliment him, while Amethyst pranks Steven by turning her head into a fly's head. He falls over in surprise. Pearl scolds Amethyst, while Garnet admits it was a little funny. The Gems plan to warp back out. Steven wants to warp them again, but Garnet informs him they are going underwater. Steven leaves to tell his friends he is the warp master.

"Keep Beach City Weird" Keep Beach City Weird (012) Steven is playing Steven Tag with Garnet and Amethyst. He runs away from them to the Beach House and jumps into Pearl's arms, tagging her. She refuses to shapeshift into Steven and play Steven Tag with them. Out of players, Amethyst attempts to tag Garnet. She dodges Amethyst, throws her into the air, and slaps her down into the sand, claiming victory.

Later on, Garnet and the other Gems burst into the lighthouse to save Steven, who has been captured by Ronaldo after being mistaken for a "snake person". Ronaldo attempts to fight them, but is easily beaten back. Eventually, Steven intervenes, telling the Gems that he is okay. Garnet compliments his snakeskin pants. Steven explains that he was trying to inspire Ronaldo to be weird again. Ronaldo is at first incredulous, refusing to believe that the Gems cause all the weird things in Beach City. With help from Peedee, Ronaldo comes up with another theory. Steven and Peedee, satisfied that Ronaldo is once again happy, leave the lighthouse with the Gems.

"Fusion Cuisine" Fusion Cuisine 017 Steven and Connie are watching TV at the Beach House, when Connie's mom calls her and asks to speak to Steven's mom. They run downstairs and Steven hands the phone to Garnet, asking her to pretend to be his mom. The conversation goes poorly, and Garnet hangs up before handing the phone back to Steven. She nonchalantly apologizes, saying she panicked. Connie later informs Steven that her parents will not let her hang out with him until they have met his parents in person.

Fusion Cuisine 042 At the Beach House, Steven and Greg prepare to meet Connie's parents for dinner. Because Connie had told her parents that Steven lives with a nuclear family, he is forced to chose to bring along one of the Gems to act as his mom. He considers each Gem, but finds them all unsuitable: Garnet is not the best conversationalist, Amethyst is gross, and Pearl is unable to eat dinner. Steven then gets the idea that the Gems all come to dinner as a single fusion. They are at first against the idea, but after seeing Steven's lament over never seeing Connie again, decide they have no choice.

Fusion Cuisine 140 Steven and Greg arrive at the restaurant on the shoulders' of the fusion Alexandrite, where they meet the Maheswaran family. They proceed with dinner, during which Connie's parents make attempts at conversation. Eventually, Alexandrite de-fuses when her constituent Gems begin to fight over whether they should eat a piece of shrimp. Garnet berates Pearl and Amethyst, reminding them that they are trying to help Steven.

Connie's parents are upset with their daughter for lying. Connie, fearing her punishment, runs away and Steven follows her; the two decide to leave on the bus and live somewhere else. As the bus is driving away, it is stopped by a furious Alexandrite, and Steven and Connie are brought back to the restaurant. The Gems and Greg sternly chastise Steven for his behavior, ultimately revoking his TV privileges for a thousand years. Connie's parents are impressed, and seeing that Steven is in the care of responsible guardians, decide to allow Connie to continue hanging out with him.

"Garnet's Universe" Garnet's Universe (010) Garnet comes home from a mission carrying a Corrupted Gem. After Steven falls onto her hair, she asks Steven what he thinks Garnet did that day. Steven proceeds to go into an in-depth story about Garnet and friends trying to acquire a gem and defeating a villain, with a life lesson at the end. After the story, Garnet jokingly says that is exactly what she did today. When Steven asks if that is true, Garnet reveals it is not.

"Watermelon Steven" Steven wakes up outside the car wash, when he sees that he is surrounded by watermelons shaped like him. He immediately calls the Crystal Gems. Pearl explains that Steven's mother had the ability to grow sentient plant life that protected her, and that he may have inherited this. Amethyst then states that Rose's plants could move and defend her, while his plants appear to be completely immobile.

Watermelon Steven (228) Back at the Beach House, Steven alerts the Crystal Gems that the Watermelon Stevens came to life and are attacking people. Surprised, the Gems go outside, only to be immediately greeted by a small army of Watermelon Stevens. Garnet then explains that Rose's plants lived to fight. Though initially peaceful, they become slightly aggressive when Pearl abruptly puts both of her hands on Steven's shoulder, as they see Pearl's actions as a threat towards Steven. After seeing the signs of their aggression, Pearl then shoves Steven inside the house, causing the Watermelon Stevens to attack. An all-out battle then begins with Garnet at the lead, who is followed by Amethyst and Pearl. The Gems start out strong, fighting off the sentient watermelons, only to be quickly overpowered by their numbers.

The Watermelon Stevens then stop their fight with the Crystal Gems after Baby Melon punches Steven in the stomach and begin to attack him, who has accepted his fate. After the attack, Steven sees that Baby Melon has been reduced to a pile of watermelon pieces. Upset, Steven tells the Watermelon Stevens to look at what Baby Melon did to stop the fight, and to think about what they did and tells them to go and not return until they understand what true loyalty is. Garnet compliments Steven and his actions, which he humbly dismisses with Pearl and Amethyst putting one of their hands on each of Steven's shoulders and Garnet behind Steven.

"Lion 3: Straight to Video" Pearl attempts to convince Garnet and Amethyst to watch Steven as he sleeps in her stead, as he found out and told her to stop.

"Warp Tour" The Gems warp back home after a mission in Flower Meadow. Pearl and Amethyst are even complimenting each other's contributions. Steven is allergic to the flowers in the meadow and while warping back, Pearl tells Steven to sneeze into the inside of his elbow, but his sneeze propels him to the edge of the warp stream. Steven's head pops out of the stream, revealing space and another warp stream adjacent to the one the Gems are using. Steven sees a fast and circular object warping through one of them. Garnet pulls Steven back and tells him not to stick his head outside, as there is not much air and it is cold. Steven tells Pearl there was something there, but she does not believe him. Garnet agrees with Pearl, telling Steven that there has not been anything else out there for a long, long time.

That night, Steven cannot sleep due to his fear of the warp monster he saw earlier in the warp stream. In the morning, Pearl wakes up Steven, saying the Gems have a surprise for him, which startles him into spraying her with his water gun. Garnet states that he can not get any of the cookies they made as a surprise, and Amethyst then eats them all instead. Steven apologizes for spraying Pearl and blames it on his lack of sleep. Pearl questions if it was about the thing he saw in the warp stream, and Steven snaps at her that it was real. Garnet suggests that the Gems check the warps to ease Steven's paranoia. Steven and Pearl agree both believing that they will be right.

They check back at the Flower Meadow, then at the Geode. They also check the Sky Spire and Pearl confirms that nothing is there either. Steven claims that Pearl's wrong, which angers her. Pearl, through a fierce glare, says she does not like Steven's tone. At the Galaxy Warp, Pearl chastises Steven, showing him that all warp pads are broken. Steven agrees with the Gems that they are safe. While they talk about how Steven now feels safe, and that is important for him to feel that way. Steven snaps back at them for telling him how he feels and knows something was inside the stream, which leads to Pearl and Steven arguing again. Pearl tells Steven that he does not know what he is talking about, to which Steven yells back that she does not know what he is talking about. This aggravates Pearl, and Garnet firmly tells Steven to let it go.

Warp Tour (212) Steven jumps into the warp pad stream after a robot crashes through the house and tries to capture one for proof. As Steven struggles with the robot, others just like it appear in the stream and begin to crowd Steven, pushing him towards the edge of the stream. Steven tries to break free, but accidentally tumbles out of the warp stream and begins slowly floating away, still holding one of the robots. Suddenly, a warp stream opens right behind him, and Garnet sticks her arms out and pulls Steven into safety. She comforts him, telling him to take deep breaths. Garnet notices the robot Steven still has with him and says that must have been what he saw in the stream. Steven says he does not care about that anymore, but Garnet says that she does. She apologizes to Steven, telling him that he is Crystal Gem too, and they should have listened to him before. Pearl and Amethyst join them in the warp stream.

They arrive at the Galaxy Warp, and the robot joins the rest of its troop over at the Homeworld warp. The robots fix the warp, and it begins to activate. Garnet grabs her teammates and quickly takes them to a hiding spot. A green Gem appears on the warp pad and begins speaking to an audio recording log, revealing her name to be Peridot. She says the warp pad repair was successful. When Peridot warps away, Pearl and Amethyst are worried about what just happened, seemingly afraid of being found by Peridot or who sent her. Garnet then walks towards the Homeworld warp, saying that it does not matter what Peridot's motives were while summoning her gauntlets in greater size than usually seen, and smashes the Homeworld warp. Garnet dramatically ends the episode by saying, "She's not coming back."

"Alone Together" Alone Together 081 Garnet is overjoyed to see that Steven and Connie were successfully able to fuse into Stevonnie because of her belief that fusion is sacred and personal, something that can be traced back to Ruby rather than Sapphire. Garnet tells them that a fusion is considered neither one person nor two people, but rather an experience and to go have fun.

"The Test" Steven becomes distraught when he learns that the mission to the Sea Spire in "Cheeseburger Backpack" was a test and that he had failed. Steven, determined to redeem himself, demands the Gems give him a harder test to make up for it. The Gems hesitantly oblige. After Steven goes through Pearl and Amethyst's chamber, enters the final challenge, Garnet's Chamber, and makes a joke to himself about how Garnet turned up the heat. However, in this chamber, Steven finds out that the traps set in all the rooms could never hurt him.

Steven walks over the axes and spikes, feeling extremely hurt and unable to understand why they would trick him. Walking all the way to the end, he looks down to see the Gems standing beyond the final door, waiting to congratulate him. He overhears them talk about how it is impossible for him to get hurt. Pearl explains to Amethyst that the point of designing the rooms this way was to give Steven another "win" to regain his confidence and fix the problems he had been having with his healing powers ever since Greg faked his injury. Amethyst expresses their incompetence in teaching Steven to which Pearl protests to. Garnet says that he is not just a Gem. Since no one like Steven has ever existed before, she comes to the sobering conclusion that they have no idea what he needs.

The Test 251 Understanding their actions, Steven determinedly walks all the way through the "test," hardly acknowledging any of the traps. He walks through the final door, where the lights come on, and the Gems congratulate him. He walks up, maintaining his stern expression, stopping at the end where he falls on his knees and states that he cannot believe they would do something like that. At the last second, for their sake he pretends to be none the wiser and exclaims that it was awesome. He wishes that they could have seen him, thanking them, and they all join for a hug.

"Future Vision" Future Vision 101 Steven slips on a tennis ball and falls but before he hits the ground, Garnet catches him in her arms. Steven states that her being there was very lucky, but Garnet responds that luck had nothing to do with it. Steven presses her for more information, but Garnet hesitates to answer. Eventually, Garnet gives in and tells Steven that she has the ability to see into the future. Steven asks about her powers, but Garnet is unsure of how to explain it to Steven. Garnet tries to explain the complexity of her powers using an example of a boat on a river with many deltas. She states that she steers the ship down the path that she thinks is best. Later at the Big Donut, Steven asks more questions regarding his future, which Garnet answers with ease. However, when Garnet tells Steven that there is a future where Lars gives him a high five, he runs over to him. Lars is startled and drops a coffee pot, and it falls toward Steven. Garnet blocks the coffee with her body, shielding Steven from danger. Slightly deterred, Steven and Garnet go down the boardwalk.

On the boardwalk, Steven asks if he could die from eating fry bits. Garnet lists some ways he could die in a comical fashion, which Steven takes to heart. Succumbing to paranoia, he begins to fear everything around him. He quickly goes home. Steven's fear eventually renders him unable to even pick up a knife to make his sandwich. As he finds another way, the Crystal Gems go on a mission leaving Steven alone. Before leaving, Garnet tells Steven to stay off the roof at all costs.

Future Vision 342 While they are gone, it begins to rain, and Steven begins to think of more ways he could die. He confronts his emotions and decides to go onto the roof. As soon as he reaches the top, the Warp Pad activates, and Garnet runs out to confront Steven. Steven states that his destiny cannot be avoided and that being on the roof was fate. Garnet replies that she told Steven about her powers even though she knew what would happen to help them become closer. Garnet pleads with Steven to see reason. Steven begins to agree cautiously when he comes back to his senses. He climbs off the roof and embraces Garnet. As they hug, Garnet deflects a lightning bolt. Steven inquires what happened, but Garnet assures him it was nothing.

"On the Run" On the Run 016 The Gems warp back to the Beach House after retrieving the robots left behind by Peridot at the Galaxy Warp. Steven asks them why they brought them back. Pearl replies that they cannot allow the Homeworld warp to be fixed and Homeworld Gems to return to Earth, slightly raising her voice in anxiety. Garnet tells her to calm down, reminding her that Earth is safe. Steven questions what the Homeworld Gems wanted to do with Earth. Pearl explains that the Gems were trying to do something awful to the planet that would have been unfair to the life that already existed here. She states that some Gems, like Rose, Garnet, and herself, decided to protect the planet and sacrifice the possibility of returning to Homeworld. Garnet reaffirms their decision to defend Earth. After Steven begins to talk about how they are similar to some characters from a book series he reads, Pearl and Garnet go into the temple. Later, Garnet used her future vision to tell Pearl that Steven and Amethyst were in the Prime Kindergarten.

"Winter Forecast" Winter Forecast 052 Steven and Connie are in the Beach House roasting marshmallows by the fireplace when the Gems walk in. Garnet confirms the approaching snowstorm with her future vision and advises Steven and Connie to head over to Greg's so he can drive Connie home. Steven wants to show Connie a TubeTube video before they go, but Garnet tells him that he needs to make the right decision. She kisses him on the forehead, passing her future vision to him. Over the course of a few seconds, Steven witnesses a series of alternate attempts to get Connie home.

In the third vision, Steven decides that it is too dangerous to take Connie home and that she should stay at the Beach House. The two run back from It's a Wash, and arrive at the house where they see the Gems sitting on the warp pad about to warp the Shooting Star. Pearl is distracted by Steven's arrival and she loses focus, causing the Shooting Star to fall and explode.

As his mind returns to the present, Steven asks Garnet what happened and she explains that she had momentarily given him future vision. He informs her of the events he saw, and she replies that he can now make the right decision. Steven and Connie immediately leave for Greg's.

Maximum Capacity" Maximum Capacity 270 Steven is sitting on the beach with Garnet, Pearl, and many other Beach City residents, waiting for the New Year's fireworks show. He gives them a jacket, a sweater, and some pots and pans. Steven informs them that Amethyst and Greg will join them later. Pearl wonders why Amethyst would arrive with Greg, and asks Steven if they are hanging out again. Steven confirms her suspicions that they lately have been watching the "Li'l Butler" TV show. Garnet expresses her disdain and Pearl explains to Steven that Greg and Amethyst "used to disappear for days, watching [the]... tapes over and over and over." The fireworks show begins and Pearl tells Steven "Happy New Year." She lightly hits her pan with her spoon, asking Steven about her volume. Garnet replies that it is low, and loudly clangs her pans together, causing everyone to cover their ears.

The next day, Steven and Greg head over to the U-Stor storage unit to finish cleaning it out. They discover that the Gems have already cleaned most of it. Garnet tells them that it was Amethyst's idea, who explains that she can keep Greg's junk in her room so he will not have to throw anything away. After Amethyst gives Greg the picture of him and Rose in a new frame, the Gems carry Greg's junk back to the temple.

"Marble Madness" Goophug Steven and Connie are on the beach when something falls from the sky and crashes into the ocean. The Gems rush out of the Beach House. A large robot emerges from the water and advances toward Steven and Connie. Garnet jumps in front of the robot, blocking it with her gauntlets. Pearl and Amethyst attack it from above, causing it to explode. Steven asks Garnet what she thinks the robot was trying to do. She replies that all that matters is that it is destroyed. Amethyst, who is covered in goo from the robot, gives Garnet a "goop hug", distributing the goo over her. Pearl appears, also covered in goo, and Garnet pulls her into the hug.

Marble Madness 101 The Gems later encounter more robots being shot from space. The second one lands on Mask Island and the Gems warp there and destroy it. Steven begins to grow unsure of their actions. The fifth robot lands in the Desert. The Gems warp there and Steven quickly warps after them. As the Gems are attacking the robot, Steven asks them how long they intend to keep destroying the robots. Pearl exclaims that they do not know, to which Steven replies that the robot probably does, and suggests that they follow it. Pearl and Amethyst are against the idea but Garnet decides to try it, not wanting to keep fighting the robots forever.

They all get on top of the robot and it walks toward the warp pad. It warps to the Kindergarten. Pearl, believing its destination implies its ill intent, decides that they should destroy it. Steven and Garnet stop Pearl, suggesting they continue to follow it. The robot walks through the kindergarten. It eventually stops and opens a hole in the ground. It changes shape before descending into the hole. The Gems quickly jump in after it. They stand on the robot as it continues to descend down, and curiously look around as they pass strange structures they had previously not known existed in the kindergarten.

Marble Madness 143 They eventually reach a control room at the bottom. A pedestal rises from the floor and the Gems watch as a small robot detaches itself from the larger robot. It makes its way toward the pedestal before activating it; a screen is then projected and Peridot appears on it. The Gems quickly rush off the platform and hide under it as Peridot begins to perform a status check of the kindergarten.

Steven suggests they ask Peridot what she is doing. The others shush him, and Garnet tells him that now is not the time to be asking questions. She turns to the others and explains her plan: when Peridot is distracted they destroy the power source on the far wall of the control room. They suddenly notice that Steven is climbing up onto the platform and angrily whisper his name. Steven talks with Peridot, who asks him if "Stevens" have replaced humans as the dominant species on Earth. He confirms the opposite before asking her what she is doing. She states that she is "just picking up where [they] left off"; one of the two giant hand constructs that she had activated from the floor of the control room forms a fist above Steven. It begins to fall toward him but is caught by Garnet, who throws it away. Peridot is surprised at the sight of the Crystal Gems, and realizes that they were the ones destroying her plug robonoids. The Gems begin to attack the giant hands. Amethyst eventually grabs one of the hands with her whip and swings it into the power source.

Just before the screen disappears, Peridot shouts that she will be reporting them. Steven admits that he may have gone too far. Garnet tells him he was not completely wrong because they learned something new, but then states that this was still a pretty bad idea.

"Rose's Scabbard" Rose's Scabbard 015 The Crystal Gems are walking through the Gem Battlefield. Pearl explains to Steven that the weapons left behind here were used in the Rebellion; she does not want to disturb the site but Garnet decides it is best to recover them. Garnet picks up a giant battle ax, prompting Steven to search for a weapon of his own. After Lion discovers Rose's scabbard, Pearl informs Steven that she fought alongside his mother here. Amethyst exclaims that she wished she could have seen the battles that took place. Garnet reproachfully replies that the site witnessed death, destruction, and the shattering of countless Gems. The Gems warp home and Amethyst and Garnet place the recovered weapons in the temple.

Later on in the Beach House, Steven reveals to the Gems Lion's pocket dimension, in which Rose's sword is stored. They begin to suspect that Lion had some connection with Rose. Pearl is incredulous, believing that she would have known about Lion if he had something to do with Rose because she considered herself to be Rose's sole confidant. Garnet tries to calm her, stating that Rose kept many secrets. Pearl refuses to believe that she had withheld secrets from her and, in anger, slams her fist against the wall. The picture of Rose above the door begins to fall but Garnet catches it. Pearl warps away and Steven follows her with Lion; Garnet wishes him luck.

"Shirt Club" Shirt Club (028) The Crystal Gems are in the Beach House. Steven finishes drawing a flyer for the guitar lessons his dad is offering. He shows the flyer to the Gems. Pearl asks why there are lightning bolts on the flyer and Steven begins to explain that he wanted to show that his dad "rocks on the guitar." Garnet interjects, stating that there should be rocks instead of lightning bolts. Steven replies that it is too late for notes because the flyer was drawn in permanent marker.

Later on, Steven rushes into the Beach House asking the Gems for help. He informs them that he needs to take down all the shirts with the image from his flyer printed on them, and to stop Buck from making more because he does not agree with how his art is being used. The Gems decide not to help, stating that his problem is abstract. Garnet tells him that he needs to learn to help himself to become stronger, and advises him to let his problem be known so that an understanding can be achieved. Steven takes this advice and leaves to carry out his plan.

"Story for Steven" Greg tells Steven the story of how he had met Rose, this time including his manager Marty. In the flashback, after Greg finishes performing his concert, he searches for Rose to give her a free shirt. He follows Amethyst to the Temple Gate where he meets Pearl. As Garnet warps in, she bubbles away the two gems she was carrying. She approaches Greg and demands he state his purpose. He tells her that he was looking for the "mysterious, pink lady." Garnet decides to throw him back over the fence surrounding the Crystal Temple's beach.

Story For Steven 130 As she is carrying him away, Rose appears asking her to stop. Garnet drops Greg, embarrassed. Rose explains to the others that she met Greg at his concert. He gives her the free shirt and the other Gems crowd around her to look at it. Amethyst tells Greg to play some music and Garnet, while summoning her gauntlet, threateningly adds that it should be good. Greg suddenly remembers he has somewhere to be and as he leaves, tells Rose that he hopes to meet her again. Pearl, sounding somewhat envious, tells Rose that she can sing. Garnet and Amethyst laugh as Rose smiles and Pearl blushes.

"The Message" The Message 072 Steven is playing music on the beach with Greg when he hears a loud sound coming from the Beach House. He runs into the house where he finds the Gems standing around the Wailing Stone, which Pearl exclaims suddenly activated on its own. Garnet summons a gauntlet and taps the top of the stone. The sound stops briefly before continuing again. Pearl tries to bubble the Wailing Stone, but her bubble simply expands before bursting. Steven attempts to stop the noise by placing his arm through the hole in the device, but the sound is projected through his mouth. Garnet pushes Steven aside and stuffs a pillow into the hole. She quickly places more pillows around the Wailing Stone before sitting Steven on top. Garnet expresses her confusion to the others, not understanding why the device suddenly activated. She concludes that a Gem must be trying to send them a message from space. Pearl hypothesizes that the distorted audio could be due to the fact that the signal is too advanced for the Wailing Stone to process. Steven suggests that Greg help them because of his knowledge of audio manipulation. Pearl is skeptical, but Garnet suggests they try it.

The Message 128 The Gems head down to the beach and sit in front of Greg's van as he prepares his equipment. Greg inserts a giant microphone into the Wailing Stone. The sound becomes amplified, causing everyone to fall backward. Greg quickly adjusts the sound, toning it down. As Greg continues to make adjustments, the noise begins to develop a musical tone. Eventually the van's battery shorts out and the noise stops. Greg tries to convince the Gems that he can keep trying. Garnet reassures Greg, stating that they will figure out something else, and heads back to the temple with the Wailing Stone and the other Gems. Steven stays behind on the beach and eventually comes up with the idea that the signal may be related to video rather than audio. Greg and Steven run into the Beach House. Inside, Greg is able to convince the Gems that he may be able to help, reasoning that he "[can't] make it any worse."

The Message 240 On the beach again, Garnet jump-starts Greg's van using her electrical powers. With the battery set, Greg hooks up the Wailing Stone to the TV. The video feed starts off fuzzy, and Greg begins to make some adjustments. Eventually the video clears and to everyone's surprise, Lapis Lazuli is projected on the screen. Garnet tells everyone to listen up as Lapis begins to speak. She informs them that there is a Gem who knows Steven's name who is heading to Earth. She then anxiously explains that Homeworld technology has become extremely advanced, to the point where she can no longer understand it. She pleads with Steven to not put up a fight, saying that it would "only lead to devastation." While Pearl and Amethyst frantically talk, Garnet remains calm. She eventually silences the others, and thanks Greg for his help.

"Political Power" Political Power 032 Garnet, Amethyst, and Steven observe Pearl test her newly created robot disruptor, which she hopes will produce a "localized energy blast" capable of disabling Peridot's robonoids. She places a robonoid near the device and activates the disruptor. It sends out a powerful blast, knocking everyone over and shutting off all electricity in Beach City. The robonoid gets up, unaffected.

The next day, Mayor Dewey knocks on the door of the Beach House to speak to the Crystal Gems. Pearl tells him to not worry about the power outage, stating that it will be back on as early as tonight or as late as never. Mayor Dewey tries to explain the gravity of the situation. Steven tells him that they will help. Garnet shouts from inside the house that they will not. Steven tells Mayor Dewey that he will help him.

Later on, Steven walks toward the Beach House. On the stairs, he overhears the Gems talking about Peridot. He is surprised when Garnet mentions that Peridot will be coming with other Gems. Steven continues walking up the stairs and the Gems quickly end their conversation when they see him. He asks them if everything is okay, to which Pearl replies affirmatively. Garnet then suggests they play cards, stating they can light a fire in the fireplace for light. The Gems go inside and continue talking amongst each other while Steven stands outside.

Political Power 260 Later at night, Steven returns to the Beach House. Garnet and Amethyst are sitting on the couch and Pearl is working on her disruptor. Steven asks them if they want to talk. Garnet and Amethyst try to change the subject by asking Steven to play cards with them. Steven persists, and tells them to tell him the truth. Garnet solemnly informs him that Peridot is a modern Gem who will be coming with modern Gem technology that is likely to overpower them. She confesses that they are scared. Steven points out that they have been scared before, and says that they can figure things out together. The Gems nod in agreement, when the lights suddenly turn back on.

"The Return" The Return 073 A giant hand appears in the sky above the ocean and begins to descend toward Beach City. The Crystal Gems see it, and assuming it to be Peridot's ship, open fire on it using four laser light cannons, including the Quartizine Trio. The attack has no effect and Garnet decides that they must take them head on. Steven contacts Mayor Dewey, telling him to evacuate the town.

As the evacuation of Beach City begins, the Crystal Gems and Greg pack luggage onto the van. Steven notices aloud that his own luggage is being packed too. Greg looks awkwardly at Pearl, who turns toward Amethyst, who turns away from them both. Steven comes to realize that the Gems want him to evacuate instead of staying with them to confront the approaching threat. Garnet explains to Steven that although they often treat him like a child, they rely on him because his voice inspires them, binds them, and reminds them why they had promised to protect Earth. She states that he must now be that voice for the people of Beach City. Steven understands that it is his duty to protect them, and leaves with Greg. The Gems sadly watch them drive away. They grieve silently for a moment, before Garnet tells them to pull it together.

The Return 179 As the warship has nearly reached Beach City, Garnet stands by Opal, who aims her bow at the fast approaching ship. Garnet orders her to fire; the arrow flies toward the hand, splitting into multiple arrows which deflect harmlessly off the ship. They turn around in surprise when Steven suddenly arrives behind them, causing Opal to de-fuse.

Pearl frantically tells him to leave, but Garnet realizes it is too late and tells Steven to stay behind them. The Gems ready their weapons as the ship lands. The hand flips over, palm facing up, and unfurls its fingers onto the beach. A small sphere rises from the center of the palm. It rolls forward onto one of the fingers before opening and revealing three Gems: Peridot, Jasper, and Lapis Lazuli. Garnet demands that they leave immediately. The three Homeworld Gems jump down onto the beach. Jasper dismisses each Gem, believing Pearl to be lost and defective, Amethyst an "overcooked runt," Garnet a "shameless display," and Steven a human. She orders Peridot to blast them with the ship. As it prepares to fire, Garnet orders Steven to leave. He refuses and Garnet yells at him that she cannot have him risking his life. Steven continues to stand his ground, not wanting to abandon his home and family. As the ship fires, Steven jumps in front of the Gems.

The Return 267 The blast is blocked by Steven's shield. Jasper turns around in shock and quickly commands Peridot to fire again. Garnet pushes Steven out of the way as the explosion knocks back Pearl and Amethyst. Jasper approaches Steven, believing him to be Rose, and questions his apparent weakness. Garnet bursts out of the sand and lunges at Jasper, who summons her crash helmet. Garnet's gauntlet connects with Jasper's helmet, and the resulting recoil sends Garnet flying backward. She recovers and tells Steven to run as she charges at Jasper. The Homeworld Gem primes her gem destabilizer and rushes forward. Jasper strikes Garnet in the chest with the weapon. Her body breaks apart before dissipating and her gems fall to the ground. The remaining Crystal Gems are defeated and they are brought aboard the warship.

"Jail Break" Jail Break 164 Steven awakens inside a jail cell aboard the Gem warship. He is able to escape his cell and wanders through the ship, searching for the other Crystal Gems. He meets two other Gems, Ruby and Sapphire, and frees them from their cells. Upon being reunited, Ruby and Sapphire embrace each other, spin around in joy, and fuse together. Steven's awe quickly turns to surprise as he realizes that the fusion is Garnet. She excitedly thanks Steven, then apologizes, explaining that her constituent Gems did not want to meet him in their current situation. He asks if he made a good first impression, to which Garnet responds that they already love him. Suddenly they hear Jasper's angry shout, and they realize that she knows they must have escaped. Garnet tells Steven to find the other Crystal Gems and head to the control bridge. She kisses him on the forehead, passing her future vision and enabling him to quickly locate the others. Steven asks Garnet if she can defeat Jasper on her own. She smiles and replies that she is never alone.

Jail Break 222 Steven leaves as Jasper enters the room. The two Gems face each other and Jasper expresses her annoyance that Garnet is fused again. She proceeds to degrade Ruby and Sapphire for fusing, stating that it is a "cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger." Garnet chuckles and begins to sing "Stronger Than You", in which she expresses pride for the nature of her being and confidence in her ability to win. Jasper pulls out her Gem destabilizer, Garnet puts on her shades, and the rematch commences.

Jail Break 361 Jasper charges at Garnet, attempting to strike her with the Gem destabilizer. Garnet is able to dodge her attacks. Eventually, she kicks the destabilizer out of Jasper's hand and catches it in the air. She breaks it in half and the two Gems summon their weapons. They trade blows, neither Gem with a clear advantage. Garnet is able to launch Jasper toward the ceiling; she pushes off of it and flies at Garnet in a comet charge. The attack pushes Garnet through the floor of the central room and they fall into the reactor room. The attack leaves her injured, but Garnet is able to stand up, summon her gauntlets, and re-engage the fight. The two Gems continue to trade blows. Garnet successfully lands a hit to Jasper's head, breaking the visor of her helmet. She retaliates by spin dashing at Garnet, who rolls to the side. Jasper spin dashes around the room and comes back around to Garnet in a comet charge. Garnet catches her by the helmet, turns around, and throws her into the ship's reactor. The reactor explodes and Garnet heads to control bridge where she finds the other Crystal Gems. Garnet informs them that the ship is going down. Steven asks about Lapis, but Garnet responds that there is no time.

Jail Break 490 The Gem warship crashes into the hill behind the Beach House before it explodes. Lion runs along the beach and clears away some rubble, revealing the Crystal Gems inside Steven's bubble. Steven again expresses surprise at the fact that Garnet is a fusion. Pearl is dismayed about Garnet's ruined plan, which Garnet explains to Steven was to reveal Ruby and Sapphire on his birthday. Suddenly Jasper bursts out of the rubble. She angrily tells Garnet that she only defeated her because she is a fusion. Lapis emerges from the rubble and attempts to fly away. She is immediately pulled down by Jasper, who asks her to fuse with her. Jasper seemingly convinces Lapis to fuse with her and they form Malachite. As Malachite prepares to attack the Crystal Gems, Lapis restrains her using her hydrokinesis. She pulls the fusion into the ocean while Jasper struggles to break free. The Gems stare at the water and Garnet comments that Jasper and Lapis are "really bad for each other."

Season 2 "Full Disclosure" Full Disclosure 001 The Crystal Gems are staring at the ocean where Malachite had just disappeared. Pearl comments that "[It] could have gone a lot worse." Garnet replies that it "Could have gone a lot better too."

Later on, the Gems are gathered at the Beach House. Garnet tells the others that they need to start cleaning up the debris from the Gem warship. Pearl agrees, and Steven adds that they should keep humans off the beach to prevent them from hurting themselves. Pearl informs him that they used to have a fence, and suggests they get a new one. Garnet disagrees, saying that Steven needs to be able to see his father and friends. Steven protests, and states that "[He] can't keep clinging to the vestiges of [his] humanity." He leaves the Beach House when he sees Connie walking up the steps.

"Joy Ride" Joy Ride 007 The Crystal Gems are on the beach cleaning up debris from the Gem warship. Steven asks if they need to get every piece, to which Garnet replies that it is too dangerous to leave them lying around. They agree they have a lot of work ahead of them. Later on, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst head to a wheat field where they believe the flare they saw was emitted. Upon arriving, they see Peridot's escape pod seemingly attacking the Cool Kids. The Gems rush forward to their aid.

Joy Ride 167 Pearl throws her spear at the pod and Amethyst manages to wrap her whip around it. As the pod begins to pull away, Garnet grabs the whip and begins to pull it down. Believing Peridot to be inside, Garnet angrily tells her to "Stay off [her] planet." She summons her gauntlet and is about to punch the pod when Jenny stops her, revealing Steven to be inside. Garnet breaks the pod in half and Steven falls out. The Gems scold him, and Steven acknowledges his mistake. The Cool Kids, however, defend Steven, reminding the Gems that he is been through a lot and needs a break. The Gems agree, realizing that they have been hard on him lately, and Garnet rescinds their earlier punishment of revoking his TV privileges. Steven laughs and hugs her. The Crystal Gems and the Cool Kids then take several selfies together.

"Love Letters" Garnet rises out of the ocean while Steven and Connie are getting their mail from Jamie. As she walks toward them, Jamie immediately becomes infatuated with her. Garnet tells them that she was looking for Malachite at the bottom of the ocean. Jamie asks how Garnet was able to stay submerged in the water for so long, to which Garnet replies that she is "a really good swimmer." Garnet then pushes all of the water off of herself, as Jamie watches in awe.

Steven and Connie rush into the Beach House to show Garnet a letter. Garnet tells Steven she is busy; she summons her goggles on and is about to leave when Steven tells her that the letter is for her. Garnet asks Steven to read the letter, and in it Jamie expresses his love for Garnet in a poetic writing style, along with an invitation for dinner at the Crab Shack. As Steven expects, Garnet rejects as she herself is a relationship. Steven and Connie later help Garnet write a response to Jamie. Garnet tells Connie to write the letters "n" and "o" and that would be the end of her response. Steven suggests to add more to the letter, and Garnet says to write, in an unintentionally rude tone, "the end, forever. And even after that." Steven and Connie later run into Jamie. Before they can give him the letter, he reveals to them his recent misfortunes in his auditions to become an actor, stating that he returned to Beach City to avoid another rejection. This causes the two to rewrite the letter in a more poetic fashion and in a more kinder tone. Jamie gets the wrong idea by this, and thinks that Garnet is madly in love with him.

Love Letters (245) Later at night, Jamie arrives at the Beach House and calls to Garnet from outside. Garnet explains that she did not write that, and tells Jamie that she will never be interested in him, along with a sharp "go away!" Jamie runs away in tears. The next day, Garnet rises out of the ocean with the Water Bear attached to her back. She slams the monster to the ground and strikes its gem, followed by throwing it back into the sea. Steven and Connie tell Garnet that Jamie is not the same, and Garnet leaves to go talk to him. Garnet tells Jamie that she did not mean to hurt his feelings, and love at first sight does not exist because love takes time to develop. Garnet also compliments Jamie on being a fantastic actor, since he convinced himself that he is lovesick, and recommends that he starts his career with local theater.

"Reformed" Reformed 042 Garnet is in the Temple searching for a monster. Amethyst and Steven later enter the Temple through Amethyst's room where they find Garnet. She explains to them the Gem monster she is looking for is similar to the thing Pearl described seeing slinking through the Temple. They search around the room, looking for the corrupted Gem. Garnet later spots the creature, and fires her gauntlets at it. They miss and Amethyst gets upset at Garnet for "wrecking" her stuff, but before she can finish her sentence, she is grabbed by the Slinker.

Reformed 125 After tightly gripping Amethyst with its tentacle, the Slinker squeezes her like a snake, and Amethyst is forced to retreat into her gem, which alarms Steven. Garnet comforts him by saying that Amethyst would be back before he knew it. Proving this true, Amethyst regenerates within a matter of seconds, but with legs where her arms usually would be. Although Steven is amused, Garnet is displeased by this, saying that Amethyst regeneration was fast even for her. Amethyst blows off Garnet and cartwheels away, leading the Gems in the continuation of their search.

After a while of searching, they find another tunnel made by the Slinker. As they walk through it, Steven speaks with Amethyst and exclaims he wants four legs as well. Garnet denies this, stating that Amethyst should have taken more time with her regeneration. Steven brings up Pearl, and Garnet agrees that she had put more thought into it. This angers Amethyst, and when she stops to convey her distaste in Pearl, she is crushed by the Slinker, once again causing her to retreat into her gem. Garnet comforts Steven again and tells him that at least now Amethyst gets a second chance to regenerate a better form, hoping that she will take it more seriously this time around. When Amethyst comes back, even faster than previously, she takes on a form resembling an exaggerated parody of Pearl. Garnet again expresses her distaste, saying that it is not funny. Amethyst and Garnet get into an argument about how Amethyst's form affects the strength of the team, but they are interrupted when Amethyst is grabbed by the Slinker and forced back into her gem for the third time.

Reformed 144 Still angry at Garnet, Amethyst regenerates into a "stronger" form with an uneven body and bulging muscles on one arm and one leg. Garnet tells Amethyst that her form is not sustainable, who runs away in anger to find the Slinker. When Garnet and Steven catch up to her, she is seen embroiled in battle with the Slinker. As she struggles to defeat the beast, Garnet tells her to let go, but Amethyst refuses, insisting that Garnet "wanted [her] to be stronger." Garnet then tells her that she did not want this. Unable to maintain her unstable new form, Amethyst's left arm loses its strength and falls to the floor distorted. Amethyst then asks Garnet to tell her what she wants from her, but Garnet tells her that she has to figure it out for herself, making Amethyst even more frustrated. Steven realizes that Amethyst can not figure it out because she is upset and does not want to think about herself.

Reformed 192 Amethyst is suddenly engulfed by the monster, retreating to her gem one last time. Garnet punches it, forcing it to release Amethyst's gem from its mouth. Garnet and Steven return to the Beach House with Amethyst's gem, intending to find the monster after she regenerates. Garnet informs Pearl about the monster, and states that she was too hard on Amethyst. Amethyst remains in her gem for four hours, and when she regenerates, it is shown that she put more thought into her regeneration and has no abnormalities. Garnet says it is perfect, but Amethyst brushes the compliment off and claims that it is "just what feels right." Garnet says that is what makes it perfect and they then have a group hug.

"Sworn to the Sword" Amethyst and Garnet emerge from Amethyst's room, and Amethyst asks why Steven is looking so concerned. Steven explains he is worried for Connie; Pearl is asking her to do all this dangerous stuff for him. Garnet expresses understanding and explains to Steven how Pearl recklessly risked her life many times for Rose, and that it makes sense that Pearl is training Connie to do the same for Steven and he warps himself to the Arena to try to stop Connie.

"Rising Tides, Crashing Skies" GaleriaRTSC00079 For his documentary, Ronaldo goes to the beach to find the Gems fighting a crab monster. He approaches Steven and accuses him and the Gems of being a danger to the city. Steven says the Gems are protecting everyone, but Ronaldo counters with the point that all the monsters seem attracted to the Gems, putting the city in danger. Garnet abruptly decides that they should all leave, and they walk away, leaving Ronaldo satisfied.

Ronaldo compliments himself on getting rid of the Gems, but Peedee mentions that without the Gems, the strange happenings would stop and Ronaldo would have nothing to blog about. Ronaldo realizes his error and runs back to the Beach House, pounding on the door and begging the Crystal Gems to not leave Beach City. Garnet opens the door, and he begs her to stay. She says okay and closes the door as he thanks her.

The episode ends with Steven and the Gems watching the documentary on the Internet. As they finish watching, Garnet states the video was very poorly edited. Steven asks her if she really meant for them to leave, to which she replies that she just wanted to get the camera out of her face.

"Keeping It Together" Steven and the Crystal Gems are folding his laundry, discussing Peridot's presence on Earth and the possibility of her most likely reactivating the Kindergarten despite crash landing on Earth. Steven hints that Garnet should unfuse so Ruby and Sapphire could help fold his shirts faster. Garnet says that Ruby and Sapphire would love to see them, but she will not unfuse for laundry.

They warp to Kindergarten to investigate any differences and search for Peridot. Nothing seems to be have been activated or even moved in the Kindergarten at the moment. Steven goes about his way and stumbles into Peridot, who just used the elevator from the Prime Kindergarten Control Room. The Gems find Peridot with Steven and they chase her. Peridot then uses her fingers as helicopter blades and flies away with Amethyst and Pearl chasing her.

Keeping It Together 148 Steven stays with Garnet. Garnet notes that if Peridot came to Kindergarten to reactivate it, then the injectors would have started working by now, but they have not. Steven and Garnet begin to investigate to find out what Peridot's job actually was. They find the elevator shaft to the control room and slide into it. While they are descending, Garnet explains more about Gem fusion to Steven. When they reach the control room, Steven shudders and mentions that the room somehow seems creepier than before and that the power is still cut off, and Garnet senses that something is wrong here. She says that something is strange after seeing that Peridot apparently pulled some pillars out of the walls.

Garnet touches one of the pillars, and they begin to move. Strange creatures resembling the combination of hands and feet begin falling from the ceiling. Garnet punches one of them and it poofs into a gem. It is two different gem shards stuck together, which disgusts Garnet, leaving Steven confused and worried. A much larger and grotesque version of these fusions rises from one of the pillars as though it is still fusing with difficulty. The four shards attempt to form their own bodies, but are pulled back together into the gem. With screams of agony and terror, they form a cluster that resembles a giant hand.

Keeping It Together 196 As the Hand Cluster approaches Garnet, she becomes terrified and stands still. Ruby, as Garnet, begins to cry out of her right eye, and understands what these fusions really are: they were previous Crystal Gems that were shattered, buried, and forced to fuse together. Garnet begins to unfuse slowly while Steven defends her. After Steven says that this is not like Garnet, she regains composure and knocks out the hand cluster, poofing the gem, which is a combination of multiple different gems.

Garnet bubbles the gem, realizing that this is what Homeworld thinks of Gem fusion. As Garnet talks, the speaker alternates between Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby on the right with Garnet's red eye expresses her anger at Homeworld, and Sapphire on the left with Garnet's blue eye, expresses sadness and tries to calm Ruby. They come to one conclusion: That these gem shards were the Gems that the Crystal Gems could not find after the war, and that they were forced to become a fusion. The forced fusions were the Crystal Gems' punishment for rebelling against Homeworld. Amethyst and Pearl return to Garnet and Steven, and notice one of the Gem mutants. Garnet orders the Gems to put them down and bubble them all.

Keeping It Together 241 Back at the Crystal Temple's hand, Steven warps to do his laundry and finds Garnet. They discuss what they saw in Kindergarten, and Garnet expresses disgust over the forced fusions. Garnet states that fusion is a choice between Gems, and the forced fusions they saw in the Kindergarten were not true fusions. Steven asks Garnet what it feels like to be a fusion all the time. She explains that the Gems forget that they were ever alone in the first place. When Gems fuse, they do not feel like two people, but rather one, and the Gems' old names might as well be names for the left arm and the right arm. When Steven asks if Garnet disappears when Ruby and Sapphire unfuse, she says that Garnet is the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love. Even if they split apart, she will always exist in them. The strength of the two Gems' love allows them to remain fused for a very long time, explaining Garnet's long existence. After one of Steven's socks flies away with the wind, Garnet catches it and gives it to him, saying, "You don't want to break up a pair."

"We Need to Talk" We Need To Talk (046) While going through some of his old records, Greg is surprised when he witnesses Steven and Connie fuse. Steven asks him how he knows about fusion, prompting Greg to begin telling them the story; the flashback begins with a video Greg plays from his TV. In the video, Greg is recording Rose, Garnet, Amethyst, and himself performing the song "What Can I Do (For You)" in front of the Crystal Temple. Rose and Greg are singing, Garnet is playing a keytar, and Amethyst is on the drums. During the performance, Pearl fuses with Rose into Rainbow Quartz. Garnet and Rose leave when they finish the song, while Pearl speaks with Greg.

We Need To Talk (185) Greg is at the beach re-watching the video to learn how to do a fusion dance. He falls over attempting to imitate Pearl's movements. Amethyst and Garnet arrive, and he asks them for advice on fusing. Garnet tells him that he needs a gem at the core of his being, a body that can turn into light, and a partner whom he trusts with that light. Greg is discouraged, believing that fusion is impossible for him. Garnet throws a stick for Amethyst to chase after so she can speak to Greg in private. She tells Greg that she believes he can fuse with Rose. She states, however, that it will not work if he tries to dance like Pearl, and that he needs to fuse his own way. Garnet advises him to "Get open, get honest, [and] invent [themselves] together." Greg takes this advice to heart and later attempts a fusion dance with Rose as Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst watch them nearby. They are unable to fuse, and later talk about their relationship.

Afterward, Greg and Rose continue dancing, much to Pearl's confusion, who believes the fusion did not work. Garnet says the opposite, understanding that despite Greg and Rose's inability to literally fuse, their attempt and subsequent talk has strengthened their relationship.

"Chille Tid" GaleriaChilleTid00025 The Crystal Gems are searching the ocean for Malachite. Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl observe the water from the raft while Garnet searches underwater. She eventually surfaces and climbs onto the raft, stating that she could not find the fusion. She emphasizes the urgency of finding Jasper and Lapis, stating that if the bond between the constituent Gems of the fusion snaps, their anger will take over and lead to destruction. Garnet announces that they will have to keep searching, but that they first need to take Steven home. Despite being tired, Steven insists that he is fine. He starts to walk off the edge of the raft, but Garnet catches him and they head back to the Beach House.

GaleriaChilleTid00053 Back at the house, Garnet reminds Pearl that Steven needs rest because he is not like them. Steven asks if they need rest too, telling them they look exhausted. Garnet denies this, but Steven responds that they should try out sleeping, suggesting they also have a slumber party. Pearl is uninterested, but Garnet agrees, and tells Amethyst and Pearl to relax with Steven. She decides to leave to continue searching, stating that she is always relaxed. Pearl attempts to persuade her to allow them to come with her. Garnet refuses, and tells Steven to put the others to bed before warping away.

Garnet later returns to the Beach House, and finds Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl still awake. Steven runs up to her and hugs her, before attempting to explain his dream about Lapis. Garnet calmly shushes him and tells him to relax, stating that there is nothing they can do right now. She decides to show them how to sleep, and after cracking her knuckles, falls on her face. The others stare at her as she begins to snore.

"Cry for Help" Cry for Help 026 Steven and Amethyst are watching TV when their program is interrupted by Peridot's distress message. Garnet concludes that there is only one place where Peridot can be broadcasting a signal strong enough to cause her message to appear on both Steven's and Connie's TVs, and presumably every TV between them. The Crystal Gems travel to the Communication Hub on Lion, and they discover that the hub has been partially repaired. Steven suggests Garnet and Amethyst form Sugilite to destroy it. Amethyst asks Garnet, but the latter immediately turns her down, stating that last time Sugilite went berserk and it was because of her that they cannot warp to the hub anymore. She tells Amethyst that "for the time being, Sugilite is benched." Garnet approaches Pearl, telling them that they now need to be more careful. She tells Pearl to fuse with her, who becomes elated at the opportunity.

Cry for Help 141 They perform a fusion dance and form Sardonyx. She is delighted to finally meet Steven in person, and happily greets him before disabling the tower. After she finishes, Sardonyx de-fuses and Garnet, Pearl, and Steven celebrate, exhilarated by the fusion's performance. Later, Steven is watching TV in his room with Garnet when Peridot's message suddenly comes on again. The Crystal Gems head back to the Communication Hub and Garnet and Pearl fuse into Sardonyx to dismantle the structure. They later return to the Beach House and Steven turns on the TV only to see Peridot's message. Pearl states that the hub must be fixed again. She calls to Garnet, who is bothered that Peridot continues to evade her future vision.

Cry for Help 316 The group goes to the hub and Garnet and Pearl prepare to fuse. Amethyst and Steven stop them, having earlier seen Pearl fix the hub after the second time they returned. Pearl realizes they know and apologizes to Garnet, telling her she was just having so much fun being Sardonyx. As Pearl's deception dawns on her, Garnet becomes furious. She realizes that she has not been able to see Peridot because Pearl has been fixing the hub. Pearl retreats in fear, attempting to say that she just wanted to share a few more victories with Garnet, whom angrily dismisses this. Amethyst tries to defend her, explaining to Garnet that fusing with her makes them feel stronger. Garnet tells Amethyst to not defend Pearl, stating that she has been distracting them from finding Peridot. She then tells Amethyst to fuse with her, and they form Sugilite before destroying the hub.

At the Beach House, Steven and Amethyst sadly notice that Garnet and Pearl no longer speak to each other, and wish that things worked out like how they do in cartoons.

"Keystone Motel" After Greg puts forth a road trip for himself and Steven, Garnet decides to tag along. She's silent the whole time, but when Greg leaves to go buy car wash brushes, she begins arguing with herself and falls apart.

Ruby is angered that Pearl deceived Garnet, while Sapphire insists that they must move forward and forgive. The two continue to argue throughout the trip until Steven storms out of The Best Diner in the World, blaming himself for their fighting. Ruby and Sapphire reconcile, fusing back into Garnet.

Before they leave, Garnet makes sure that they get free ice from the motel. Upon their return, Garnet begins speaking to Pearl once more, but only to say, "Not now."

"Onion Friend" Steven asks Amethyst if she's seen Garnet or Pearl, and she answers that they're probably somewhere not talking to each other. At Onion's House, Amethyst rants to Vidalia that she's never seen Garnet as upset as she is with Pearl.

"Historical Friction" Jamie depicts Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl in the historically accurate play "Beach City or Bust". The play recounts Garnet warning William Dewey that his ship should turn back. Garnet later shows up fused as Obsidian to save William Dewey from a corrupted Gem and bring him to the shore of what would become Beach City.

"Friend Ship" The Crystal Gems warp to Peridot's location at the Galaxy Warp, and Pearl is enthusiastic that her plan worked perfectly. Pearl charges at Peridot against Garnet's order; her reckless attack causes Peridot to trap her in a tractor beam and launch her back to Steven. Peridot hurries over to a Warp Pad, only to find it broken. Steven throws his shield at Peridot, which stuns her long enough to allow Garnet to throw the boulder at Amethyst, who slings it back to Peridot with her whip. Peridot is launched by the impact, and Garnet and Pearl race to catch her. During the tangle, Pearl stumbles into Garnet, making them both fall. Peridot flies and falls onto one of the warp pads, taunts the Gems the same way Steven did, and warps away.

Friend Ship 093 The Gems warp back to the Crystal Temple, all feeling down except for Pearl, who clarifies that they now at least know they can track Peridot accurately. She starts defining how she has wired up Peridot's escape pod to the Warp Pad and that the device will light up every time Peridot uses the Warp system, revealing her destination. Pearl is confident that with this, they will be able to catch Peridot eventually and end the problem. She says this while addressing Garnet, who walks to her but ignores her. This prompts Amethyst to ask if there is something they should talk about. The escape pod lights up, and Pearl projects a globe with Peridot's location. Pearl and Garnet walk over to the warp pad, while Steven mentions that at least Pearl is optimistic.

The Crystal Gems warp to a derelict Ancient Gem Colony Ship. Garnet begins to remind Pearl that they need to move on as she explains the functions of the ship to the group but she interrupts and exclaims on their task to catch Peridot. They all enter the ancient ship, which is completely overgrown by wildlife. A small object lights up and projects a holographic screen revealing it to be Peridot. She insults the Gems' intelligence, and Pearl retorts by saying that she must be "dull as dirt" if she thinks she can use the vessel to fly away. She reveals that she was luring the Gems into the ship as a trap instead of flying away, and the ship's entrance closes. After almost being shot down by lasers, they run towards a tunnel to safety. Suddenly, spikes appear out of the walls and floor, and the Gems make haste.

The Gems run into Peridot at the end of the hallway and, against Garnet's command, Pearl charges and attacks Peridot, slicing through a hologram instead. Garnet tells Pearl to stop, but she exclaims that she must do something to make up for leading the Gems into Peridot's trap. The floor below them suddenly opens up into a deep pit. Steven and Amethyst are able to save themselves, but Garnet and Pearl had fallen down the pit, and they check on them. A horizontal door closes, trapping Garnet and Pearl in a small room. Pearl apologizes to Garnet, saying that things shouldn't have turned out the way they are. Garnet reassures Pearl that they will escape somehow, but Pearl clarifies that she wanted to catch Peridot in order to regain Garnet's trust and show that everything can go back to normal. Garnet tells her that this is not about Peridot, and catching her will not restore their relationship.

Friend Ship 225 Pearl asks Garnet what she can do to be forgiven, but Garnet asserts that she can not forgive Pearl. She lied to Garnet, and she must learn that there are consequences to her actions. Pearl explains that she could not help herself. She tried to be strong like Garnet, but she could not, and she believes she is useless on her own and needs someone to tell her what to do. Pearl goes on to explain to Garnet than when she fuses with Garnet, she is able to feel like Garnet. In her eyes, Garnet is perfect, since Ruby and Sapphire are in a perfect relationship and Pearl simply wanted to be a part of that. Garnet denies Pearl's statement and says she is not as strong as Pearl thinks she is. Garnet reveals that she had fallen apart because Ruby and Sapphire had conflicting thoughts on Pearl's act of deception. Garnet explains that she has weaknesses too, but she chooses not to let them consume her, and she knows she must stay composed because of her effect on the team. There are times that Garnet looks up to Pearl's strength, and asserts that Pearl is her own Gem. She is unique in her own way, and she must choose to be strong in her own way in order to move on in order to regain Garnet's trust. Pearl understands and says that she cannot give up anymore. Garnet tells Pearl that there is only one way to get out of the room, and Pearl asks for her confirmation in agreeing to Garnet's plan, to which she agrees. Amethyst and Steven panic, but Sardonyx jumps up having drilled her way out of the room. Having fulfilled her role for now, Sardonyx quickly unfuses.

The Gems corner Peridot in the ship's control room and demand that she surrenders. Peridot starts to slowly fly away from the ship while taunting the Gems once more. Her ascension is halted by Steven, who jumps up and grabs on to Peridot's foot. She tries to drop Steven, but Amethyst and Pearl grab on to Steven, and Garnet grabs on to Pearl, preparing to pull the group to her. After failing to force Steven to release his grip, Peridot ejects her foot and flies away. Holding Peridot's smoking foot, Pearl regains her optimism and says that next time, they will get the rest of her. Garnet says that they went a step forward. Pearl and Garnet make up, and Amethyst lays down in relief.

"Catch and Release" Catch And Release 085 After Steven is briefly kidnapped by Peridot in her last attempts to fix the Galaxy Warp, the rest of the Gems arrive and Peridot starts to run away.The Gems reunite with Steven and fight Peridot. After a short fight, Garnet is able to catch and poof Peridot, but not before she tries to tell them that she is the only one who knows something. When she is poofed, all her limbs and fingers fall to the ground, with Garnet holding her gem intact, and sends her to the Burning Room. The Gems wonder about Peridot's limbs, and Amethyst throws them into the ocean. Steven tells Garnet that Peridot was trying to say something important, but Garnet dismisses that as nothing more than desperate lies to get out of the fight.

Catch And Release 256 At the Temple, Steven wonders why Peridot was scared, and what was she going to say. He later ends up in the Burning Room, wanting to talk to her a bit more. He drops the bubble, and Peridot emerges, this time without robotic limbs. She tries to shoot Steven as she finishes what she was about to say before poofing, and realizes she is unarmed. He asks her for more information, but she runs away, as Steven gives chase. They emerge from the temple gate into the house, where the Gems are in the kitchen. Peridot yells that she has escaped, then notices the Gems staring at her. The Gems corner Peridot to Steven's bathroom, as she locks the door behind her. The Gems wonder how Peridot managed to reform, and Steven admits that he freed her with the purpose of getting information from her. He found out that she knows something about The Cluster, and the Gems are clueless as to what the Cluster even is.

Garnet agrees that Peridot is more valuable in her form rather than bubbled, and peacefully tries to get Peridot to talk. After Peridot refuses, the Gems get ready to break in and bubble her, but she responds that they will not get anything out of her if that happens. Pearl says that, unfortunately, they need Peridot in her form right now, to which Garnet says that it will be tricky to get her to talk.

"When It Rains" When It Rains 005 The Crystal Gems are outside of Steven's bathroom, and Garnet demands that Peridot reveal information about the Cluster. Pearl attempts to reason with her, offering to negotiate a trade. Peridot sarcastically demands that her equipment to be returned, before facetiously referring to the fact that it had already been destroyed back at the Galaxy Warp. Garnet realizes that their questions were in vain, and suggests that they instead go and investigate the Cluster on their own. Steven excitedly pleads to accompany the Gems, though Garnet refuses, instead asking him to stay behind and watch over Peridot. Before the Gems depart, Garnet tells Steven that she loves him, making him blush.

When It Rains 264 After Peridot convinces him to take her to the Kindergarten, he learns about the Cluster and insists that she needed to tell the rest of the Gems so they could help, but she refuses. While Peridot and Steven argue, Gem mutants crowd around the Warp Pad, and Steven immediately summons a bubble shield around himself and Peridot. The mutants chase them until they are cornered, at which point the Crystal Gems come to save Steven and Peridot. While the Gems fight the mutants, Steven tries to explain to Peridot, again, as to why they need the help of the Crystal Gems. Peridot appears to think about it this time. After defeating the mutants the Gems appear flustered as they question Steven and Peridot. Garnet begins to scold Steven, claiming that she told him to keep an eye on Peridot. Peridot comes to Steven's aid by informing the Gems that he did as he was told. Finally relenting, Peridot tells the Gems that she has made up her mind, and that she will tell them about the Cluster.

"Back to the Barn" Back to the Barn Number (021) The Crystal Gems are gathered in the Beach House where Peridot informs them about the Cluster, an artificial fusion composed of millions of Gem shards located at the center of Earth that will destroy the planet when it emerges. The Gems recognize the gravity of the situation and agree that they must construct some sort of machine to travel to the center of Earth to stop the Cluster. The group heads over to the Barn to begin working on a drill. Before they begin, however, Pearl and Peridot get into an argument regarding their engineering abilities, resulting in a competition to determine who will lead the project to construct the drill, dubbed by Steven, the "Robolympics". Pearl and Peridot each perform a series of events with their respective robots while Steven keeps track of their points. Garnet and Amethyst watch on the side and cheer on Pearl.

Back to the Barn Number (170) After completing all the events, Pearl and Peridot have accrued the same number of points. Refusing to consider Pearl an equal to herself, Peridot demands that they have a tiebreaker. An argument ensues between Pearl and Peridot, which quickly escalates into a fight. Steven, Amethyst, and Garnet look on, careful to avoid the two fighting robots. Peridot eventually gains the upper hand and manages to destroy Pearl's robot. The other Crystal Gems make sure Pearl is alright before praising her, refuting Peridot's claim that she is common. Peridot is confused as to why the Gems are not listening to her despite having won, prompting Garnet to state, "Welcome to Earth." Garnet and Amethyst proceed to clean up the wreckage of Pearl's robot.

"Too Far" Too Far 054 The Crystal Gems and Peridot prepare to construct the drill. Steven, Peridot, and Amethyst stand by the barn where Pearl has just completed drawing the blueprints for the drill head. Garnet joins the group informing them she has chased away some cows and is ready to get to work. Peridot asks Garnet to unfuse before they begin, stating Garnet's fused state is making her very uncomfortable. Garnet promptly ties Peridot to a fence with a leash. Steven asks her if that was necessary, to which she replies that Peridot having free reign of the place made her very uncomfortable.

Pearl later approaches Peridot, informing her that they now have all the materials except for the drill head. When Peridot suggests that she get one from the Kindergarten, Garnet immediately adds that she cannot go without a chaperone. Amethyst proposes that she and Steven go with her. Garnet agrees to the plan and tells Amethyst to keep Peridot in line. After the group returns, they begin to work on the drill, during which Peridot accidentally starts the drill head, undoing some of their progress and causing a mess. Garnet blames the cows.

"The Answer" Garnet wakes up Steven in the barn at midnight to wish him a happy birthday. Steven is exuberant, asking Garnet if she plans to finally tell him about Ruby and Sapphire like she had promised. A flashback commences as Garnet begins to tell the story of how Ruby and Sapphire first met.

The Answer 097 Garnet explains that 5,750 years ago, progress on the establishment of Earth's Gem colony was being hindered by a small group of rebels. Sapphire, along with her three ruby guards, were sent to Earth so that she may share her vision of the future with Blue Diamond. At the Cloud Arena, she reveals to her diamond that the rebels will attack their location before eventually being captured. As Sapphire predicted, Rose and Pearl arrive shortly after her report and proceed to defeat several Gems. Pearl approaches Sapphire, but before she strikes her down, Ruby pushes Sapphire out of the way, fusing with her and forming Garnet for the first time. The fusion is surprised, and examines her newly formed body. The unorthodox fusion distracts the other Homeworld Gems long enough for Rose and Pearl to escape. Immediately after, Garnet unfuses, and the angry crowd closes in on Ruby and Sapphire. To save Ruby from being punished, Sapphire grabs her arm, jumps off the arena, and floats down to Earth.

The Answer 238 The two Gems begin their new life on Earth, over the course of which they grow closer together, and eventually decide to fuse again. After forming for the second time, Garnet tentatively walks around, still unfamiliar with her new form. She suddenly trips and rolls down a hill. At the bottom, she is meet by Pearl, who cautiously points her sword at her. Pearl realizes aloud that she is looking at the fusion she saw at the arena. Garnet quickly protests, stating that she did not mean to fuse, but remembers that she did the second time, and then offers to unfuse. As she stumbles over her words, Rose approaches her, calming her down. Garnet is surprised to discover that Rose does not find her unsettling, and begins to ask her questions about why she is so sure of her feelings and actions. Rose laughs and welcomes Garnet to Earth, who proceeds to ask more questions, wondering what she is. Rose settles down Garnet, telling her that she already is the answer. As the flashback ends, Steven asks Garnet what the answer was. She replies, "Love". Steven says that he knew it, and Garnet says that she did too.

"Steven's Birthday" The Crystal Gems prepare Steven's birthday party at the barn. Steven wonders if they should take a break from the drill, to which Garnet responds that they should celebrate their progress, mentioning that he has grown a lot this year. Greg and Connie arrive shortly, and after preparations are completed, Steven enters the barn to put on his birthday suit.

Steven's Birthday 070 The Crystal Gems, Greg, and Connie surprise Steven with his cake as he steps out. They collectively gasp when they see Steven's taller form. He explains to their amazement that he had a magical growth spurt. The group moves on to the party festivities, eating cake, playing badminton, and dancing. The Gems are glad to see Steven having fun. After the party winds down, the Gems, Greg, and Connie are surprised by Steven's sudden transformation into a baby.

Garnet picks up the crying Steven and attempts to calm him by making funny faces. This causes Steven to cry even more, prompting Greg to take over. He takes him for a car ride with Connie and Amethyst. The next day, Steven has managed to revert to his normal age. As he speaks with Connie, they discover that Steven has grown a facial hair. The other Gems are impressed and Greg and Connie are glad that Steven is growing older.

"It Could've Been Great" It Could've Been Great 068 The Crystal Gems are taking a break from building the drill. Peridot is annoyed that progress has slowed, and when she mentions this to Steven, he helps her create "Peace and Love on the Planet Earth" to express her feelings about life on Earth. They sing the song as they resume working on the drill, and the other Gems join in.

When they finally finish building the drill, the Gems compliment Peridot for her work. She then remembers that they still need the Cluster's coordinates before they can begin drilling. Pearl suggests the coordinates may be found at a diamond base on the moon. Due to its inaccessibility by warp pad, the group travels there via Lion. When they arrive at the moon base, Steven notices the murals on the walls and asks Peridot whom they depict. She is surprised he does not know, and explains that they are the Diamonds, the Gem matriarchs who govern Homeworld and all the Gem colonies. She claims that Gems "live to serve them," which prompts Garnet to clear her throat in displeasure. Peridot quickly corrects herself, before diverting their attention to a control service. She activates it, creating a set of stairs. The group goes up to the control room.

It Could've Been Great 183 At the top, they find the main computer, and Peridot begins to look through its files for the Cluster's exact location. Peridot eventually finds it, and the group prepares to leave. Steven lingers behind, however, and asks Peridot if there are any games on the computer. Peridot replies that it was used for planning colonies. The others return as she begins to pull up diagrams of Gem structures built on Earth.

Upon inquiry of the final plan, Peridot projects a hologram of a completed Earth colony. Peridot believes the result would have been an example of a perfect colony, efficient use of Earth's available resources producing numerous Gems and structures. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst strongly disagree. They reaffirm Rose's belief of the value of life, claiming that completion of the colony would have lead to the extinction of all life on Earth. Peridot claims that Rose did a lousy job of protecting Earth, arguing that the Rebellion had led to the insertion of the Cluster which would ultimately doom the planet regardless.

Sensing the tension between the Gems, Steven steps in front of Peridot and attempts to lighten the mood. Garnet, however, reaches past him, picks up Peridot, and summons her gauntlet. She forcefully tells Peridot that she is talking about things that she does not understand. Steven intervenes, saying it is not worth it. Garnet pauses for a moment before dropping Peridot and smashing the computer. The Gems begin to head back.

"Message Received" Message Received 105 Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are gathered outside the barn discussing their plans regarding the Gem drill and Cluster. Steven and Peridot eventually go inside the barn. Some time later, Steven returns outside and reveals to the others the Diamond Communicator that Peridot had taken from the moon base. Steven is visibly upset that despite his efforts to help Peridot adjust to life on Earth with the Crystal Gems, she seems to still not care for the planet, fixated on contacting Homeworld.

Garnet consoles Steven, telling him that he has more patience than the rest of them, but that not everyone deserves this patience. The side of the barn suddenly explodes, and Peridot emerges, piloting her robot. She picks up a truck and throws it at the Gems, causing them to scatter and giving her the opportunity to grab the communicator from Pearl and Amethyst. As she flees, Amethyst shapeshifts into a helicopter, and the Crystal Gems fly after Peridot.

Message Received 225 When they catch up to her, Garnet fires her gauntlets into Peribot, sending it into some telephone lines. The Gems descend upon the fallen robot and begin attacking it. Peridot is able to slip through the robot's arm and reach the dropped communicator. Steven runs after her, and the two briefly struggle over the device before Peridot manages to activate it. Garnet quickly grabs Steven and hides behind Peribot with Pearl and Amethyst.

The Crystal Gems anxiously watch as Peridot speaks with Yellow Diamond, informing her about her current situation and the status of the Cluster. To their pleasant surprise, Peridot openly refuses Yellow Diamond's order to allow the Cluster to grow, and blatantly insults her superior, severing her allegiance to Homeworld. After Peridot deactivates the communicator, the Crystal Gems praise Peridot for her words. Their joy turns to panic when Peridot informs them that the communicator can be remotely detonated. Steven quickly bubbles the device before Garnet punches it into the sky, where it explodes. The Crystal Gems return to celebrating and welcome Peridot to the team.

"Log Date 7 15 2" Log Date 7 15 2 029 Garnet enters the barn just as Peridot throws her tape recorder in her direction. She catches it and gives it back to Steven after Peridot refuses to take it back. As Peridot continues to fret over her recent defection from Homeworld, Garnet puts her hand on her shoulder and suggests she calm down. Garnet then picks her up and carries her out the barn as she begins to fuss about where she will wear a star. Steven notices that the two Gems seem to be getting along well, and decides to listen to Peridot's logs to learn how their relationship had improved.

As Steven listens to her logs, a series of flashbacks play showing Peridot's experiences at the barn. In one of the flashbacks, Peridot pushes Greg off the roof of the barn to see if he can fly. Garnet catches him and proceeds to scold Peridot, telling her that she cannot shove humans off roofs because they are fragile and soft. She then asks Greg to excuse Peridot for not understanding. Peridot concludes that not all organic beings on Earth can fly and that Garnet is the worst. In the next flashback, Peridot tries on a pair of boxers she found while cleaning. Garnet appears behind her and compliments her shorts, prompting Peridot to rip off the shorts in surprise.

Log Date 7 15 2 170 In another flashback, Peridot explains to Steven and Garnet why Percy and Pierre from Camp Pining Hearts would make the best team out of all the characters. After she finishes her verbose explanation, Garnet gives her a thumbs up. In the next flashback, Peridot records a new log entry while working on the drill with the other Gems. She laughs with Pearl and Amethyst at their jokes while Garnet simply gives her a thumbs up. She admits in the entry that she appreciates Pearl's and Amethyst's company but still does not understand Garnet. In the following flashback, Garnet works on the drill with Peridot and the other Gems. Peridot is surprised to see Amethyst and Pearl fuse to move the drill. Garnet compliments them and suggests everyone take a break. She sits down on a bale of hay and is approached by Peridot, who asks her to explain why she is fused and not using her combined size and strength to do anything. She replies that she is stargazing and would prefer to stay fused while doing so, disappointing Peridot. The two gaze at the stars for a while, Garnet noting that they can see Homeworld's galaxy. Garnet eventually offers to fuse to help her understand fusion. Peridot falls over in surprise, but, after composing herself, agrees to try.

Log Date 7 15 2 255 After they prepare themselves, they begin performing their fusion dance. Peridot quickly breaks away from Garnet, however, ending the dance. Despite being unable to fuse, Garnet claims that she is proud of Peridot for making an effort to understand her. Peridot protests that she still does not understand her, to which Garnet replies that she is "Percy and Pierre." As Steven listens to the last log entry, he is surprised to hear Garnet's voice. Peridot begins her entry, stating that she had gained a better understanding of Garnet after attempting to fuse with her.

Garnet then directs her message to Steven, her future vision having revealed that he would later listen to Peridot's logs. She tells him that he probably should not have listened to these logs, but understands that his curiosity stems from his compassion. As Steven listens, he watches Garnet speak with Peridot outside. Garnet ends her message by telling Steven to give back Peridot's recorder. As Garnet and Peridot enter the barn, Steven returns the device, and Garnet gives them a thumbs up, prompting them to do the same.

Season 3 "Super Watermelon Island" Super Watermelon Island 095 The Crystal Gems are gathered at the barn preparing to drill. They notice the ground shaking, which Peridot interprets to be the Cluster. Steven wakes up from his nap and attributes the tremors to Malachite. He explains to the others that while he was asleep, he took control of a Watermelon Steven on Mask Island and saw Malachite. Garnet concludes that Lapis must be losing control of the fusion. She informs the Gems of her plan: she will head to Mask Island with Pearl and Amethyst. Believing it to be too dangerous for him, she tells Steven to stay behind and watch the drill with Peridot. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst head to the nearest warp pad and warp away. On Mask Island, the three Crystal Gems find Malachite struggling against her water chains. They quickly fuse into Alexandrite as Malachite breaks free.

Super Watermelon Island 228 The two fusions engage in combat as Steven watches through a Watermelon Steven. With the help of the Watermelon Steven community, Alexandrite manages to defeat Malachite, forcing her to unfuse. She recovers Jasper and Lapis before unfusing herself. The exhausted Crystal Gems are met by Steven's Watermelon Steven. Garnet thanks him and all the other Watermelon Stevens for their help.

Another quake suddenly shakes the island, splitting the ground. As the island moves, Amethyst manages to hold on to Lapis, but the Gems can only watch as Jasper slides into a fissure. Garnet realizes that the Cluster must be about to emerge. She urges Steven to wake up and begin drilling with Peridot, explaining that they will not make it back in time because the warp pad was destroyed. The Gems reassure and encourage Steven, and as he begins to awaken, Garnet tells him that they love him.

"Gem Drill" Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst return to the barn with Lapis. They are greeted by Steven, who asks if Lapis is okay. Garnet assures him that she will be fine. Pearl immediately mentions that Steven looks happy and asks him if he destroyed the Cluster. To the Gems' surprise and relief, he explains that he bubbled it.

"Same Old World" The Crystal Gems are relaxing at the barn. Peridot and Steven are sharing their experiences from their trip underground with the others. After some time, Steven leaves to check on Lapis in the barn. Garnet follows him shortly after. She observes that Steven is concerned, and reminds him that Lapis will need a lot of time to recover from the physical and emotional strain from her fusion with Jasper. Steven agrees, and the two leave Lapis to rest. The next day, Greg drives the Crystal Gems back home.

"Barn Mates" Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst head over to the barn to investigate the sudden arrival of a ship. Once there, they find Steven, Peridot, and Lapis standing near the vessel, which has become embedded into the ground. Steven explains that Lapis had saved them and that Homeworld must be searching for Peridot. The Gems curiously watch as a hatch on the ship opens, and a Ruby emerges.

"Hit the Diamond" The Gems watch as a Ruby emerges from the ship. They quickly hide in the barn where they observe more Rubies come out of the Roaming Eye. Peridot is frightened, believing that the Rubies are here to capture her for disobeying and insulting Yellow Diamond. Garnet reassures her, informing her that it is the sworn duty of the Crystal Gems to protect anything that calls Earth home. Garnet tells everyone she has a plan before unfusing into Ruby and Sapphire.

Steven ends up convincing the Rubies that they need to win a baseball game in order to search the barn, whereas they have to leave the planet if they lose. The "human" team consists of Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Lapis, and Sapphire. They play against the Ruby team, consisting of the five Homeworld Rubies and the Crystal Gem Ruby. The humans win in the final inning when Sapphire hits a two run home run.

Hit the Diamond HD 255 As she runs to the home plate, Sapphire dives into Ruby, accidentally fusing into Garnet. The Rubies realize they are Gems and fuse together. Peridot runs out of the barn, not wanting the Crystal Gems to fight in her stead. To her surprise, the Ruby fusion reveals she is looking for Jasper. Steven proceeds to fool the fusion by telling her that Jasper is on Neptune. The Rubies unfuse, board their ship, and fly off. Amethyst comments that Rubies are dumb, to which Garnet replies not all of them.

"Steven Floats" Steven Floats (165) The Crystal Gems warp back to the Beach House where Steven expresses his joy at being back home after so long. Some time later, Amethyst brings Garnet to the beach where she finds Steven floating in the sky. As Garnet mulls over what they should do, Pearl arrives and frantically runs around trying to determine where Steven will land. Garnet eventually jumps away and steals Kofi's phone which she uses to call Steven. He tells the Gems that he believes he has discovered a new power. They inform him that Rose had the power to regulate the speed of her descent. Pearl tells Steven to try falling faster. He replies that he cannot figure out how, and asks them to keep him company until he lands. Throughout the night and into the next morning, the Gems do a variety of activities with Steven: they throw food at him, play checkers, and draw images in the sand.

Steven Floats (194) In the morning, the Gems hear Steven's alarm clock going off. When they ask him about it, he urgently replies that he needs to get down immediately. The Gems try weighing him down with several objects. They give him a jacket, a bowling ball, and a boat, before adding their own weight. Steven continues to fall at the same velocity. He asks if there is any more things they could give him. Garnet shows him his alarm clock. Upon seeing the time, Steven thanks the Gems for trying to help, but sadly states that there is no point anymore. They apologize before leaving.

On the ground, the Gems continue discussing about how to get Steven down. As Pearl and Amethyst argue with each other, Garnet's future vision reveals to her that Steven will figure out how to control his floating powers. She tells the others that Steven will realize that his power is linked to his emotions, and will use happy and sad memories to land safely behind them ready to them a hug. Steven faceplants in the sand behind Garnet. He gets up and runs to the Gems to give them a hug. Having figured out Steven intended to go to the Big Donut, Garnet stops him and tells him to run to the store.

"Restaurant Wars" Garnet works at Steven's restaurant, Steven's. She claps as the star iris closes.

"Monster Reunion" Steven informs the Gems that he has regained his healing powers after fixing a tear on his teddy bear, MC Bear-Bear. Garnet's future vision reveals to her that he will ask if he can heal one of the Corrupted Gems in the Burning Room. Before he can ask, she tells him no, and informs him of her foresight. Steven proceeds to ask if she can foresee him changing her mind.

Monster Reunion 096 Steven and the Gems go into the Burning Room, where Steven releases Nephrite. As she begins to reform, he licks his hand and applies it to Nephrite's gem. She regenerates into a semi-corrupted humanoid form. Steven is confused as to why his powers did not fully heal Nephrite. Pearl reminds him that she is corrupted rather than cracked. Garnet describes corruption using an analogy, stating that it is "sort of like if MC Bear-Bear did not tear the fabric of his arm, but the fabric of his mind." She informs Steven that she is impressed with his ability, stating that this is the best they have seen a Corrupted Gem healed. Garnet tells him they should let Nephrite rest again, however, and asks Amethyst to poof her. Steven stands defensively in front of Nephrite, insisting that she is no longer a monster because she can walk and talk. He begs the Gems to let him try to help her further. They acquiesce, but Garnet reminds Steven that some Gems are beyond their help.

Some time later, the Gems find Gem language written on some papers in the living room of the Beach House. They read them and discover that Nephrite has a ship and crew. They warp to the Ancient Gem Colony Ship where they find Steven and Centi reunited with her Nephrite crew. They inform Steven that the text Nephrite had written was actually in legible Gem language, which is how they had been able to find them. The Crystal Gems decide to allow the Nephrites to stay in their ship before heading home.

"Greg the Babysitter" Greg tells Steven the story of how he started working at the car wash. In the flashback, Garnet is seen with the other Gems warping to and from the temple.

"Gem Hunt" Pearl mentions that Garnet used her future vision to predict that there would be corrupted Gems in The Great North. Steven explains to Connie that corrupted Gems used to be normal, using Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as examples. Later, when Pearl becomes scared that Steven and Connie are angry with her because she called herself their favorite Gem, she begs them not to tell Garnet

"Crack the Whip" Garnet and Pearl prepare to warp out of the Beach House to search for Jasper. Garnet asks Amethyst to hold down the fort. Connie arrives and Pearl is reminded of her sword training. She apologizes, explaining that they need to leave. She tells Connie that they can train next week once they have taken care of Jasper, which Garnet adds would be the best case scenario. Garnet and Pearl warp away.

"Steven vs. Amethyst" Garnet and Pearl warp back to the Beach House, unable to find Jasper. Steven runs up and informs them they had found Jasper. They are initially surprised, but express their pride in him when he describes how Stevonnie had chased Jasper away. Garnet and Pearl then see Amethyst, who they notice has reformed. Amethyst shrugs them off, telling them she is fine.

"Bismuth" The Crystal Gems are hanging out with Steven in his room. They cheer him on as he plays video games. Their attention is diverted toward Lion, who has begun chewing on one of Steven's shirts. Steven wrestles the shirt away from him and puts it back on his drawer. Before he can return to his game, Lion steals the shirt again. Steven takes it back and decides to put it inside Lion's mane. As he attends to this, Garnet and Pearl watch Amethyst play Steven's video game. Steven suddenly falls out of Lion, claiming to have made a horrible mistake. The Gems gather around Lion as Steven goes back in his mane. He comes out again and informs the others that there is a Gem inside. Garnet asks him to describe her. Steven pops in and out of Lion's mane to get a look at the Gem. He describes her as being big, with rainbow hair, tattoos, and a concave gemstone. Pearl and Garnet are intrigued, finding his description of the Gem familiar. Garnet asks Steven to bring her out. He goes back inside, and shortly returns with the Gem. She stares at them for a few moments, before Pearl rushes forward to embrace her, revealing her name to be Bismuth.

Bismuth 100 Garnet, Pearl, and Bismuth begin to joke around much to Steven and Amethyst's bewilderment. Garnet introduces them to Bismuth, who she explains is one of the original Crystal Gems. As Bismuth settles down, she is amazed at the changes that have taken place in her absence, particularly of Rose's transformation into Steven. To their unease, she eventually inquires about the other Crystal Gems.

Bismuth 131 The group warps over to the Gem Battlefield, where Bismuth is shocked to learn that the Rebellion had ended about 5,300 years ago. Pearl and Garnet explain to her that they were able to save Earth, but Homeworld's final attack had wiped out the rest of the Crystal Gems. They comfort Bismuth as she grieves for their fallen comrades. Her sadness quickly turns to anger as she claims that she could have saved the others had she been around. They inform her that Homeworld has not stopped trying to take Earth, kindling Bismuth's anticipation to have the opportunity to fight them again. Garnet and Pearl remind her of Homeworld's larger forces and technological superiority. Bismuth is unfazed, and reminisces with them about events from the war. She proceeds to take them to The Forge where she reveals that she had made all the material weapons used by the Crystal Gems. Bismuth surprises Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst with enhancements for their weapons.

Bismuth 301 Afterwards, the Gems spar together on the beach while Steven watches. Eventually, Bismuth asks Steven to demonstrate his combat skills, stating that it is a ritual for the Crystal Gems to spar before battle. He decides to show her his own rituals instead. Steven and the Gems play badminton and cards, make pizza, and watch a movie.

That night, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst are relaxing in the Beach House when Steven warps in. They are surprised to see him injured and carrying Bismuth's bubbled gem. Steven reveals to them the events that had transpired: his disagreement with Bismuth about the use of a weapon capable of shattering Gems, their subsequent fight, and the revelation of similar circumstances pertaining to Bismuth's disappearance during the Rebellion. The Gems solemnly place Bismuth's gem in the Burning Room before going outside to gaze at the sky with Steven.

"Earthlings" Garnet and Pearl head over to the barn where Lapis receives the returning Rubies from "Hit the Diamond" by trapping each of them in water bubbles. The three are later joined by Steven, Amethyst, and Peridot.

"Back to the Moon" Steven wonders why the five Rubies they had encountered earlier had returned to Earth. Garnet suggests they ask one of them. At Steven's prompt, Lapis proceeds to release each Ruby, one at a time, so that he may question them. Leggy does not know why they have returned, Army lunges at Steven before being restrained by Garnet, Navy is unable to speak out of embarrassment, and Eyeball refuses to tell them anything.

Back to the Moon 081 When they get to Doc, she explains that they had been unable to find Jasper on Neptune and all the other planets in their solar system, before angrily demanding that they reveal Jasper's location. Amethyst shapeshifts into Jasper and is able to fool the Rubies. Doc informs her that she will need to file a report to Yellow Diamond at the nearest Diamond base if she intends to stay on Earth with her Crystal Gem "prisoners". As the Rubies board their Roaming Eye, Garnet and Pearl express their concerns to Amethyst about her plan. She assures them that everything will be fine before ushering them into the ship. They fly to the moon base.

Back to the Moon 196 At the moon base, the group heads up to the control room. As they ascend the stairs, Eyeball tells Leggy the story of Pink Diamond, who she reveals to be the owner of the Earth colony. She continues to explain, stating that Pink Diamond had been shattered by one of her own soldiers, Rose Quartz. The Crystal Gems freeze at hearing this. Steven is shocked, but firmly denies that Rose would shatter someone. As Pearl begins to tremble, Garnet and Amethyst look back at Steven in concern.

Doc appears at the top of stairs and informs the group that they have a problem. In the control room, they find the main panel broken and the diamond communicator missing. Amethyst convinces the Rubies to leave without her by having Eyeball file a report for her back on Homeworld. As the Rubies board their ship, Amethyst relaxes and the Crystal Gems praise her for holding Jasper's form for so long. The Roaming Eye's door suddenly opens, and Doc exits the ship to offer Amethyst a ride back to Earth. She sees her in her normal form and realizes they have been tricked again. The Rubies fuse together to fight the Crystal Gems. Before the battle begins, Steven opens the airlock on the moon base, pulling the Ruby fusion into the door frame. Garnet and Pearl quickly fuse together before smashing Sardonyx's hammer into the fusion, forcing her to unfuse. As the Rubies are sucked out into space, Eyeball pulls Steven out the door with her.

"Bubbled" Bubbled 265 Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst commandeer the Roaming Eye left behind on the moon base and head out to search for Steven. They eventually find him floating through space in his bubble. After they pull him into the ship, Garnet attempts to awaken him. Steven regains consciousness, and the Crystal Gems share a tearful reunion.

As Pearl flies the Roaming Eye back to Earth, Steven asks Garnet why he had never been told about Pink Diamond. She replies that they did what they had to during the war, and that things are different now. He then asks if Rose had really shattered her. Garnet confirms this, and explains that because Earth belonged to Pink Diamond, destroying her was the only way to save the planet. Steven remains unsure, prompting Garnet to reaffirm Rose's decision, stating, "She didn't always do what was best for her. But she always did what was best for Earth." Steven sighs and thanks Garnet for telling him.

Season 4 "Kindergarten Kid" Kindergarten Kid 009 The Crystal Gems sweep through the Beta Kindergarten, poofing and bubbling the Gem monsters that Jasper had incarcerated. After poofing another one, Amethyst questions their actions, finding them similar to Jasper's. Pearl and Garnet disagree, and the latter reminds Amethyst that the Corrupted Gems are cared for in the stasis of the bubble. They head over to Steven and Peridot, where they have found another Gem Monster. Garnet tells the others to get ready as she releases her. Despite this, they are completely caught off guard by the Tongue Monster's speed. She scatters the Gems before escaping. Peridot laughs at their failure to capture the Corrupted Gem, prompting Pearl to begin explaining the difficulty of such tasks. Garnet quickly cuts her off, stating that mistakes happen, even when one can see the future. Amethyst challenges Peridot to capture the Gem monster herself. Wanting to show off her metal powers, Peridot agrees to help them, and walks away to begin her search.

Kindergarten Kid 295 After Steven informs them of his intention of staying behind to help, he runs after Peridot while the others seemingly leave. Unbeknownst to Steven and Peridot, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst had stayed behind in the Beta Kindergarten. Throughout the course of the next day, they watch with amusement Steven and Peridot's unsuccessful attempts to capture the Tongue Monster. When Peridot finally poofs the Corrupted Gem, Garnet and the others emerge from hiding. They reveal that they had been watching the whole time and had known what would happen with Garnet's future vision. Peridot admits that she had more difficulty than expected, after which she accidentally bubbles the Tongue Monster's gem, creating a bubble for the first time. With some guidance from Garnet and Steven, Peridot sends it off.

"Know Your Fusion" Know Your Fusion 029 The Crystal Gems are at the Beach House. As Garnet and Pearl prepare some food, they notice Steven and Amethyst acting suspiciously. Pearl asks them if they have something they would like to tell. Steven and Amethyst recall their recent fight in the Beta Kindergarten, and ask them if they know exactly who beat Jasper. Garnet and Pearl fail to give the desired response, prompting them to say that they have someone they would like to introduce. Steven and Amethyst proceed to fuse into Smoky Quartz, astonishing Garnet and Pearl. As Smoky starts to demonstrate their yo-yo tricks, demolishing parts of the house in the process, Garnet begins shouting with happiness. She picks up Pearl and shakes her excitedly, who asks the former for some help.

The two then fuse into Sardonyx and catch the yo-yos. Sardonyx is elated to meet Smoky, and suggests that they need a bigger stage to get to know each other. She takes them to her room in the temple where she hosts her show, Sardonyx Tonight. Throughout the course of the show, she asks Smoky questions and has them perform a series of tests to learn more about their abilities. Smoky disappoints Sardonyx, however, being unable to demonstrate any other aptitudes or special abilities other than their yo-yo proficiency.

As Smoky continues to deprecate themself about their incompetence, Sardonyx realizes that she had ruined their plan to impress her constituent Gems. She subsequently unfuses, and the room begins to destabilize. Garnet explains to a concerned Smoky that the room cannot exist without Sardonyx. She attempts to reach Pearl to fuse again, but struggles amidst the crumbling structures. Smoky realizes they are running out of time, and acts quickly to save the other Gems. They pick up Pearl, throw their yo-yo through the temple gate, and grab Garnet as they are pulled toward it. As the Gems spill back into the Beach House, Smoky unfuses. To Steven and Amethyst's delight, Garnet and Pearl express praise of their fusion. Garnet requests for the play-by-play, leading to Amethyst beginning the story of how Smoky formed for the first time.

"Buddy's Book" Steven and Connie visit the Buddwick Public Library where they find Buddy Buddwick's journal. They read through it and discover that after Beach City was founded, Buddy decided to become an explorer. During his expeditions around the world, he met Garnet and Pearl at the Gem Battlefield. They cautioned of the danger of visiting Gem-related sites, and marked numerous such places on his map for him to avoid. Due to his wish to be remembered as a courageous explorer, their warnings had inadvertently stimulated Buddy's decision to visit these locations.

"Mindful Education" Mindful Education 058 Connie meets Steven at the Beach House for sword training as Stevonnie. Pearl and Garnet warp in shortly after she arrives. Pearl explains to them that Garnet will be sitting in and is very excited to watch them train; Garnet proceeds to show them the fusion sign she had made for Steven, Connie, and Stevonnie. The group warps over to the Ancient Sky Arena, where Steven and Connie prepare to fight a Holo-Pearl. Garnet cheers them on as they fuse together and begin training.

During the fight, Stevonnie unexpectedly falters, causing them to fall to the ground and unfuse. Garnet and Pearl are surprised by their sudden misstep, and rush over to check on Steven and Connie. Without a word, Connie immediately runs away, and Steven soon follows her. Garnet finds the two on the stairs by the warp pad, and discovers that Connie is experiencing emotional stress. The three head down to the beach where Garnet informs them of the inner balance fusions must have in order to maintain their physical forms. She explains that if either of them is out of balance, their fusion will begin to hallucinate and eventually fall apart; to prevent this, "[they] must see [their feelings] clearly without running from them."

Mindful Education 225 Garnet offers to show them, but states that they first need Stevonnie. Steven and Connie fuse and, with guidance from Garnet, close their eyes and begin to meditate. Stevonnie enters a fusion realm with Garnet, who begins to sing "Here Comes a Thought" teaching them about confronting their feelings. As the two fusions sing together, they observe their fusees face and eventually overcome their negative emotions. The next day, Stevonnie continues their combat training at the Ancient Sky Arena.

As they fight against multiple Holo-Pearls, Stevonnie suddenly falters again. Garnet calls to them, attempting to help them regain their focus, before reassuring a worried Pearl. Stevonnie continues to totter about, however, gradually moving toward the edge. Alarmed, Garnet and Pearl rush forward, but can only watch as Stevonnie falls off the arena.

"Future Boy Zoltron" Garnet's future vision reveals to her that Steven will need her help. She finds him in front of Funland Arcade standing in a game machine. As she predicted, Steven requests to borrow her future vision. She kisses him on the forehead, passing her power to him, and asks him to be home in time for dinner as she leaves. Garnet stops by Mr. Frowney and tells him that "He's ready to answer [his] question." She hands him a quarter before walking away.

"Onion Gang" On Onion and his friends' tree, there is a picture of Garnet, revealing that they pranked her once in the past.

"Gem Harvest" Gem Harvest 086 Greg receives a message from Steven about a man creating complications at the barn. He drives over with Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst. At the barn, they meet Steven, Peridot, Lapis, and the recently created pumpkin dog. At Greg's cue, Lapis drops the man she had restrained with a water hand. The Gems are surprised that Greg knows the man, whose name he reveals to be Andy. Greg introduces him as his cousin, and introduces Steven to Andy as his son.

Eventually, Greg explains to Andy that the Gems are sort of like Rose's family, which is why he offered to allow Peridot and Lapis to stay at the barn. Andy demands that they leave, claiming that the barn is only for the DeMayos. Steven is able to convince him to have a dinner with them, however, hoping that Andy would come to accept the Gems as family and allow them to stay. After Andy leaves to get his things from his plane, the Gems discuss their opinion of him. They are mistrustful of Andy, but Garnet suggests that they should make an effort to understand and befriend him because he is part of Steven's family. Unfamiliar with the concept of family, the Gems look to Steven as he guides them toward preparing the dinner.

Gem Harvest 203 The group spends time gathering vegetables from the field and constructing an oven. Pearl, Garnet, Peridot, and Lapis later drive off in Greg's van to pick up more groceries. Believing Andy to be a very traditional person, they decide to also acquire several objects related to the human celebrations of marriage, birth, and death. Upon returning, they present these objects to Andy much to his amusement. After preparations are completed, the Gems, Greg, and Andy sit down for dinner outside the barn.

Over the course of dinner, Andy learns of the Gems' lack of inclination toward eating, and he gradually begins to feel out of place among the others as they discuss and joke about past events such as the Rebellion and stopping the Cluster. They eventually begin expressing their gratitude to each other for their contributions today. Steven notices that Andy did not receive any thanks, prompting Peridot to thank him for showing up, his arrival having brought everyone together. Steven, Greg, and the Gems cheer in agreement. After a moment, Andy abruptly stands up, cedes ownership of the barn, and flies off in his plane. Lapis and Steven quickly fly after him. Andy eventually comes back to the barn with Steven, and reassured with his return, the Gems begin to prepare the leftovers from dinner.

"Three Gems and a Baby" Three Gems and a Baby 074 The Crystal Gems and Greg are relaxing at the Beach House. Steven observes the blizzard outside, and comments that he has never seen it snow this heavily. Garnet replies that this is not entirely true. Pearl and Greg explain to Steven that fourteen years ago, when he was only a few months old, there was a similar snowstorm. Steven reminds his dad of their arrangement, cuing Greg to sing "I Could Never Be (Ready)" as a flashback commences. Greg is seen taking care of a baby Steven at Vidalia's house. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst later arrive with gifts for Steven. Garnet gives her gift to Steven and opens it for him, revealing a razor which Greg quickly picks it up. He thanks Garnet but states that Steven does not need a razor. She refutes this, replying that he will need it in the future.

Amethyst and Pearl give their gifts and, like the razor, Greg finds their adult diapers and dictionary impractical for Steven. He demonstrates that Steven is more enthralled with his jangling keys. Amethyst takes them and continues to amuse Steven as Garnet makes a joke about bringing a big box of keys for him. As they laugh, Steven's gem suddenly begins to glow, surprising everyone. While Greg begins to panic, Garnet states that the glow is from Rose. Amethyst agrees, and suggests that Rose must be trying to shapeshift back to her normal form. Pearl exclaims that she cannot shapeshift back because she is trapped in a baby. Garnet believes that Rose has not shapeshifted, but that Steven is a fusion and Rose is trying to unfuse. Greg asks the Gems what he can do to help, to which Pearl inquires what do humans do with a baby when it glows. He is unsure and leaves to get one of Vidalia's books on babies. While he is away, the Gems drive away in his van with Steven.

Three Gems and a Baby 147 Back in the present, Steven is surprised to learn they had kidnapped him. The Gems admit their actions were regrettable, and had thought that it was better to handle things their way. The flashback resumes where the Gems are driving away. Amethyst notes an angry Greg running after them. Garnet responds that Greg was doing his best up until this point, but the situation has now changed. Amethyst peers at Steven, and speaking to Rose, asks why she is still a baby. Wondering if she finds it fun, Amethyst shapeshifts into a baby and tells Garnet to hold her. She acknowledges that it is quite enjoyable, but continues to ponder why Rose has not shapeshifted back for months.

Garnet disagrees and restates her belief that Steven is a fusion. She speaks to him, saying she understands that he does not want to be rude to Greg by unfusing in front of him. Garnet reminds him that Greg is no longer here, and suggests he can take a break. She offers to do so as well, and unfuses into Ruby and Sapphire. Steven looks around for Garnet, and begins to cry thinking she disappeared. Ruby and Sapphire quickly fuse back into Garnet, who attempts to comfort Steven, but remains confused as to why he did not recognize her component Gems.

Three Gems and a Baby 206 Pearl stops the van, and goes to the back with the others. She tells them to calm down, and reminds them that Rose cannot reform because she has a baby around her. Pearl picks up Steven, and tells Rose that she can release her as she grips his gem. She stops herself and begins to cry, however, remembering that this was what Rose had wanted. She repeats Rose's words of how it is so great that growth and change comes naturally to humans, but then exclaims that it is not so for Gems. Garnet replies that it will be natural for him. Having come to accept that Rose is no longer with them, she states that "From now on, everything has to be about Steven."

The Gems hear Greg approaching from outside; Garnet opens the door for Greg allowing him to jump into the van. He expresses his thanks, but then remembers they had taken Steven. Garnet apologizes, explaining that they thought they knew what Steven was. Greg confesses that he is not sure either, but suggests they will have a better chance of figuring things out if they work together. Back in the present, the Gems and Greg admit they did not know what to do back then. Steven reassures them, saying that Rose would have loved how everyone has changed over the years, to which everyone shouts "Hear, hear!"

"Steven's Dream" Steven's Dream 062 After Steven has a dream of a mysterious palanquin, he and Connie think the Gems would know and ask them. Garnet is the first to respond, telling him he can not go there. Steven asks why not, and she is noticeably quiet. Steven says he thought everyone was going to tell him everything from now on, and Garnet tells him to stop, because Rose never wanted him to see the place. Steven becomes upset, saying that they weren't considering what he wanted, and Rose was his mom, and thinks he is the one who deserves the truth the most. Angered, he thanks Connie, borrowing the book and storms outside.

Garnet follows him and tells Steven he has to trust her. Steven does not understand, as Garnet was usually truthful to him, and she wishes she could, but if she told him why he could not go, he would not want to go anymore. Steven is more intrigued and wants to go even more now. Garnet realizes the mistake and says he can not go because she can not go with him. Steven asks why, and she starts speaking through Sapphire, noticeably tearing up out of her right eye, saying she was scared and she can not get near her. Steven points out she mentioned "her," and is now more curious to go but she asks him to stay for her. Steven says he will not, and Garnet sighs, saying she knows.

After Blue Diamond takes Greg and leaves Earth on her ship, Steven tries to give chase, using his floating powers until the ship blasts away at warp speed, leaving him falling in the air. Garnet arrives from behind and catches him, apologizing to Steven, saying she saw Blue Diamond come here and find all of them (through her future vision), so she could not be there with him. Steven says she took Greg and he should have listened to her. He asks her what they were going to do, and Garnet says they were going to space, to get Greg back.

"Adventures in Light Distortion" Garnet and Steven return from Korea and tell Pearl and Amethyst about how Blue Diamond kidnapped Greg. They think about where they went and conclude that they are at Pink Diamond's Zoo. The group decides to use the Roaming Eye to travel to the zoo, and head over to the Barn to pick up the vessel. After performing a quick inspection of the ship, Peridot informs the others that it is suitable for Steven to travel aboard safely. Before leaving, Garnet consigns the protection of Beach City to Peridot and Lapis.

The Crystal Gems head into space and begin their journey to the zoo. Along the way, they pass by a few members of the Ruby squad, whom they agree to pick up after rescuing Greg. The Gems also experience some complications regarding the Roaming Eye. The activation of its gravity engine enabling faster-than-light travel results in the distortion of Garnet's, Pearl's, and Amethyst's physical forms. Due to the complexity of the calibration controls, they remain in this state until Steven manages to shut off the gravity engine, after which the group finds the zoo in view. With their physical forms reverted to normal, the Gems reassure a concerned Steven, the recent string of unsettling events having prompted him to begin expressing guilt over Greg's abduction. They continue their approach to Pink Diamond's Zoo.

"Gem Heist" The Crystal Gems enter the zoo and land the Roaming Eye in the hangar. From within the ship, the party notices two amethyst guards standing by the hanger's doorway. Realizing that an ownerless pearl, a fusion, and a human will stand out, Garnet unfuses so that Sapphire can begin explaining her plan to move about the zoo without drawing suspicion from the guards.

"That Will Be All" The Crystal Gems, with Greg in tow, head back to the hanger to begin their departure. Just as they are boarding the Roaming Eye, the manager of the zoo, Holly Blue Agate, notices Steven and Greg. Attributing their escape from the containment area to the incompetence of the Amethyst guards, Holly Blue assures a worried Sapphire that there is no need to explain. She summons her whip and flicks it toward Steven and Greg. Sapphire and Ruby immediately fuse and catch the whip's tail much to Holly Blue's surprise. The Crystal Gems proceed to subdue Holly Blue by tying her up in her own whip. After a farewell to the quartz guards and a defiant admonition to Holly Blue, the Crystal Gems fly out of the zoo and head back to Earth.

"The New Crystal Gems" The Crystal Gems arrive back on Earth where they are greeted by Connie. She informs them of the events that had transpired during their absence, notably of the formation of the Crystal Temps and the mishaps at It's a Wash. The group walks over to the car wash to inspect the damage. They find the building in near impeccable condition, and are shortly presented with a new sign for the car wash by Peridot and Lapis.

"Storm in the Room" The Gems help Greg install the new sign for It's a Wash. Afterwards, they return to the Beach House with pizza for Steven.

"Rocknaldo" Rocknaldo 075 Steven and the Gems are relaxing in the Beach House, listening to Amethyst read Ronaldo's blog off of Steven's phone. They proceed to watch one of Ronaldo's videos, and are surprised to discover that he intends to join the Crystal Gems. He promptly bursts through the door of the Beach House. The Gems bluntly turn him down, explaining that he cannot become a Crystal Gem because he has an organic body with no gemstone. Steven sides with Ronaldo, reasoning that despite the differences among the Crystal Gems, they still love and accept one another. The Gems are persuaded, and allow Ronaldo to live at the Beach House as a new member of the team.

Over the course of the next week, however, the Crystal Gems experience some difficulties adjusting to life with their new member. The Gems find Ronaldo somewhat awkward, and on one occasion are forced to turn down his request to join them on a mission due to his inexperience. Steven gradually grows irritated with Ronaldo's inconsiderate behavior in his attempts to integrate himself into the team.

The tension between them eventually comes to a head when Steven approaches Ronaldo and censures him for his selfishness and rudeness, after which Ronaldo collapses into unconsciousness due to lack of sleep. The Gems leave him outside Beach Citywalk Fries and inform Peedee of his return before heading back to the Beach House.

"Room for Ruby" Steven and Garnet are gazing at the stars outside the Beach House. Eventually, they observe what appears to be a red, screaming shooting star which crashes onto the beach. Upon closer inspection, they discover the "star" is actually Navy. The Ruby lunges at Steven and Garnet, but, to their surprise, Navy then begins to plead she would like to live with them on Earth. The two Crystal Gems are immediately skeptical. Navy states the other Rubies are mean to her and assures them she holds no animosity against them from their previous encounters. Garnet remains uncertain, so Steven reminds her that Navy "always seemed really nice" and draws a parallel to Ruby's own fall to Earth, convincing Garnet to give Navy a chance.

Room for Ruby (318) As Steven helps Navy settle down on Earth, Garnet procures two balloons for the occasion: a red one labeled "Welcome to the Party!" and a blue one with "Sorry for your Loss". The next day she takes her balloons down to the beach where she observes Navy leaving Earth with the Roaming Eye after dropping Steven, Lapis, Peridot, and Pumpkin into the ocean. When the other four reach the shore, Garnet pops the red balloon and comments that it was "still worth a shot."

"Lion 4: Alternate Ending" Steven claims that Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl expect big things from him.

"Are You My Dad?" The Crystal Gems are spending some time together at the beach. The Gems and Connie later meet up at the Beach House where Steven describes to them an unknown Gem he saw in town. They each sketch an image based off Steven's description, after which Steven determines Connie's picture most resembles the Gem he saw. Steven also informs them that the Gem claimed to be looking for her dad. Pearl and Amethyst are incredulous until Connie suggests that this Gem may be similar to Steven. Garnet contradicts this, stating that there are no other Gems like Steven, but then expresses doubt of her own assertion. The group ultimately agrees to investigate the whereabouts of this Gem. They split up and begin searching the town.

"I Am My Mom" The Crystal Gems assemble at the Beach House where Steven informs them that two Gems, an Aquamarine and a Topaz fusion, have kidnapped several Beach City residents and Connie. Garnet and Pearl are alarmed to learn that these particular Gems are on Earth, Pearl concluding that they must have been sent personally by the Diamonds. Steven shortly receives a photo from Connie on his phone, revealing her location at Funland.

The Crystal Gems clash with the Homeworld Gems but are swiftly repelled. Eventually, Aquamarine grows impatient with the present situation and threatens to have Jamie killed if the Crystal Gems do not reveal the location of "my dad". Not wanting his friend to die, Steven claims that he is "my dad" and surrenders himself to the Homeworld Gems. The other Crystal Gems watch in dismay as Steven is taken aboard a Aquamarine's Ship|ship which then flies away.

I am my mom 286 Refusing to let them get away, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst quickly fuse and pursue the fleeing ship. Alexandrite catches the Homeworld vessel above the ocean where she lowers it closer to the water's surface for the recently escaped Steven and his friends. Before they can all jump, Aquamarine freezes everyone with her wand. As he realizes that there is no other option, Steven reveals to Aquamarine that he is not "my dad" but Rose Quartz, knowing that the Homeworld Gem will prioritize his capture over the humans. Upon seeing his gem, Aquamarine unfreezes everyone after which Alexandrite unfuses. The Crystal Gems and Connie frantically demand Steven to stop as he walks back into the ship which then warps away.

He quickly shuts her down, throwing her off.

Garnet tells Pearl to tackle Steven's issues, and her struggle causes Steven to tell the Gems and Greg that he's upset that he hurt Connie. Upon realizing that Steven's phone has no service, the Crystal Gems and Greg help Steven get internet access again by leaving Cool Ranch so he can see if Connie messaged him, but Steven ends up getting Ronaldo's text instead. The Gems join Greg and Steven on the roof of the van, watching the sky together.

Ruby objects initially, but relents moments later when Sapphire says she foresees them following him. They follow Steven to Bismuth, who explains the rejuvenator.

The three talk about how they feel the situation to be weird, due to them looking and acting like Rose Quartz did. They feel bad about this, as the Rose Quartzes have already been judged and falsely punished for the same reasons. Garnet and Pearl stay in the bathroom as Steven leaves.

He doesn't, but she's still supportive of him as he leaves the house.

When Steven returns to the Beach House, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl surprise him with pizza, face masks, and movies.

As Steven is asking Pearl for help, Garnet sneaks up behind her and tags her as well. Pearl shapeshifts into a younger Steven as well, and Garnet and Amethyst celebrate her achievement. Their happiness is short-lived, as they quickly turn back to their pursuit of Steven.

Steven is able to flee the Beach House, where he's confronted by Sugilite in the form of his younger self. Though he escapes her, he soon encounters Sardonyx, who is rolling snowballs at him. After getting away once again, Opal appears at the top of the Beach House, and she launches Garnet towards what they believe to be Steven with her bow. However, Garnet laments as she realizes it wasn't Steven she tagged, but his jacket on top of a pile of snow.

The Gems form Alexandrite and confront Steven once more. She chases Steven to the top of the lighthouse, where she splits into her four component Gems. Ruby and Sapphire fuse back into Garnet after Sapphire tags Steven, and the three Gems taunt Steven into shapeshifting into his younger self. When he does, the three are excited to see how cute he is.

Snow Day 287 Steven snaps at them, revealing his anger that they still treat him like a child.

The two then chase Amethyst and Pearl down the hill.

Garnet is seen holding Cat Steven in the Dondai Supremo, the four Crystal Gems sharing protein shakes. Steven drives off, all of them on their way to Little Homeschool.

The next day, Steven brings Cactus Steven down into the Beach House to show the Crystal Gems. Garnet comments on how the cactus managed to bounce back. Taking Cactus Steven to the beach, Steven tells him that the Crystal Gems are better teachers than he could have been.

The next morning, Steven once again shows Cactus Steven to the Crystal Gems, demonstrating that he's now begun repeating what Steven says. Garnet is amused by this, but grows concerned when Cactus Steven quotes Steven's rant from the beach. Back in the conservatory, Steven says that he doesn't want the Crystal Gems' to find out about his problems. He mentions that if she does find out, Garnet will give him high and mighty advice.

Prickly Pair 257 The Gems return to the Beach House to find Cactus Steven has grown and is attacking Steven. Though they attempt to defend him, they end up struggling against Cactus Steven's spines.

"Together Forever" Steven leaves his room to find Garnet hasn't yet set out for her day at Little Homeschool. He tries to ask her for her opinion on his future, but she refuses to answer and instead defuses. Sapphire explains that she's running late for her class, so Steven goes with Ruby to get her opinion. Based on her own experiences, Ruby boldly exclaims that Steven should propose to Connie, as it sorted out a lot of her doubts about her relationship. Getting the same advice from Sapphire, Steven decides to move forward.

Together Forever 193 After his failed proposal, Steven finds Garnet sitting near the edge of his crater with the picnic basket. Garnet tells Steven that he shouldn't listen to Ruby and Sapphire, as they're both hopeless romantics. She explains she didn't stop him from proposing because there wasn't a future where he didn't propose, and that Connie and Stevonnie can't fill the hole he feels in his life. She sits with him on the stairs as he eats his cake.

"Growing Pains" Dr. Maheswaran tells Steven that several months prior, the Crystal Gems allowed her to take x-rays of them. The only objects that appear in Garnet's x-ray are her Gemstones.

When asked about potential traumatic events in his childhood, Steven recalls seeing Garnet destabilized by Jasper in "The Return".

Garnet tells him to remember that they'll always be his family before he warps away.

"Everything's Fine" Hearing Steven's return, the Gems rush into his room. Though confused by his new appearance, they express their worry for him. Garnet decides that they'll take his word that he's okay.

At Little Homeworld, Garnet's counseling of two humans is interrupted by the newly created Topiary Stevens. While she fights them off, Steven rushes away.

Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Greg, and Connie confront Steven at the Beach House, convinced he's lying to them about how he's feeling. Though he at first denies it, Steven begins to explain his thoughts about shattering White Diamond and that he actually shattered Jasper. Garnet is shocked to hear this and tries to reach out to him, but his breakdown continues. As he claims he's a monster, Steven begins to transform.

"I Am My Monster" Seeing the monster from Little Homeworld, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis show up to help the Crystal Gems. They find everyone shouting up at the monster, and when they express confusion, Garnet explains to them that the monster is Steven. After fleeing from falling rocks, Garnet claims that as long as Steven believes he's a monster, he'll stay as one. She comes up with a plan where she forms Alexandrite to draw Steven away from the town, the three defusing after being thrown into the cliff. Bismuth and Peridot then bring his attention to the ocean, where Lapis holds him down with chains.

While the Gems discuss what to do, they're interrupted by the arrival of Spinel and the Diamonds. Garnet informs them that the monster they're looking at is Steven, and they react with surprise and horror. After the Diamonds' failed attempts at reaching out to Steven, he emits a massive shock wave that knocks everyone over and causes Garnet to defuse.

I Am My Monster 168 Inspired by Connie's speech, Garnet realizes how to help Steven. She has Yellow Diamond make her bigger and Blue Diamond carry everyone else with a cloud.

Steven then tells the Gems he's decided to leave Beach City to travel across the country. They react positively, confusing Steven. Garnet tells him that this will be an exciting new chapter in his life.

Steven warps to the Crystal Temple's hand to find Garnet doing laundry. He gives her a book, which he reveals to be the wedding planning book for Ruby and Sapphire's wedding from "Made of Honor". He tells her that he hopes she will be the one to plan his wedding someday. When Steven asks if she used her future vision and told Amethyst and Pearl he would be fine, Garnet tells him that she doesn't need to see the future to know that.

Speaking with Greg, Steven expresses that he wishes the Gems would act sad that he's leaving. Greg posits that they may be trying to act strong for him.

The Future 166 On the beach, the Gems, Greg, and Connie all gather to see Steven off. They say their goodbyes and wave to him as he drives. Suddenly paranoid, Steven reverses the Dondai Supremo back in front of the Gems, confronting them for their seeming lack of feelings. Unable to stop themselves, the Gems begin crying. The four join for a hug, where Garnet says that she'd love to plan his wedding one day. She also reveals that she looked into his future, and she saw that they would be a part of his life no matter where he settled. She also says she saw futures where their sadness stopped him from leaving, and Amethyst claims that they didn't want to hold him back. Steven drives away one more time, this time the Gems crying as they wave goodbye.

Ruby is a member of the Crystal Gems who made her official debut in "Jail Break". Originally a Homeworld Gem soldier assigned to protect Sapphire during a mission on Earth, the two accidentally fused and were forced to flee to prevent Ruby from being shattered by Blue Diamond. Ruby later joined the Crystal Gems and remains together with Sapphire as their fusion, Garnet.

Appearance Ruby has bright scarlet skin, burgundy irises, and dark burgundy, dark red eyes, and square-shaped hair. She is shorter than Steven and has a thick build. Her gemstone is located in the palm of her left hand.

First Form In "The Answer", which flashes back to the Rebellion and shows Ruby when she was still a soldier for Homeworld, Ruby's outfit is similar to her current one, except she has a maroon belt, she does not have a headband, and there is more brown than maroon on her tank top. This form reappears in Steven Universe: The Movie when The Crystal Gems are reset to their first forms from the Gem Rejuvenator.

Previous Regeneration Before her and Sapphire's regeneration in "Jail Break", Ruby's top is similar to the one she wore as a Homeworld soldier. The top was black and maroon, and she still had her maroon headband and boots and brown shorts, as seen in "Three Gems and a Baby".

Pre-Regeneration (debut) Ruby wore a maroon and brown tank top and a matching maroon headband tied around her hair. Her ensemble also included mid-thigh burgundy shorts, and short, pointed maroon boots similar to Amethyst's.

Post-Regeneration (current) After her regeneration in "Change Your Mind", Ruby continues to wear a maroon tank top, but the top part of her tank top is now brown. Along with that, she wears long, brown pants and her headband is now golden-bronze and shiny.

Other Outfits "Reunited" shows Ruby wearing a white wedding dress and walking down the aisle in the role as bride. “The Question” shows Ruby wearing a cowboy outfit in almost the entire episode, as she acts like a cowboy.

Personality “ Ruby can't avoid the inevitable. She's just letting her emotions get out of hand.

” —Sapphire, "Keystone Motel" Ruby's rage outbursts. Ruby's rage outbursts.

​​​​​​According to Rebecca Sugar, Ruby "has no sense of what's going on around her" and "can only focus on one thing only at the expense of all things".[2] She appears to be a bad conversationalist, occasionally speaking in somewhat unintelligible mumbles, a trait which she carries onto Garnet. She is also seen to be bad at lying under pressure, giving the Rubies the idea to search the barn. Though Ruby can't focus on what's going on around her, she is thoughtful and introspective as seen in "The Question".

Ruby mainly embodies Garnet's strength and courage. She is extremely passionate and emotional, known to be very hot-headed and temperamental. She has violent ways of exhibiting her anger; this is best seen in "Keystone Motel", when she is infuriated to the point of using her thermokinesis and boiled the motel pool, even summoning her weapon at The Best Diner in the World. Despite her wild emotions, Ruby is still very willing to admit when she has taken her anger too far and will admit when she is in the wrong. When not angry, Ruby is a suave romantic, soft with words, and quite flirtatious towards Sapphire. When she channels her emotion on love rather than on rage, she can be affectionate and extremely caring, feeling the need to protect, and even cool down for those whom she truly loves. In "Hit the Diamond", Ruby is calmer and collected in terms of her anger than she had been in the past, but she seemed to get really nervous when she did not know what to do. Her romantic nature is also on full display when she spends most of the game flirting with Sapphire to the point it affects the Crystal Gems' chances of winning. It is only when Steven talks to her that she focuses on the game and pushes Sapphire to do the same. "Now We're Only Falling Apart" shows Ruby being the calm one after Garnet unfuses upon learning that Rose is Pink Diamond. She calmly pleads with a distraught Sapphire to talk about it, although she is left weeping after Sapphire warps away. She also showed enough forethought to write Sapphire a letter before leaving. Ruby places much value in trust and fusion, being absolutely outraged with Pearl when she learns she was tricked into fusing into Sardonyx. In "The Answer", it is seen that Ruby originally has very little sense of self-preservation or individuality, willing to take the blame for fusing with Sapphire and is content with her own inevitable destruction, arguing that there are "tons of her" in reference to the various identical Rubies found on Homeworld. She still possesses this to an extent as seen in "Jail Break" when she is only worried about Sapphire and said "Who cares?" when Sapphire asked if she is hurt. Moments of calm bring out the playful tease inside Ruby, which is for the most part trapped under her wild emotions. "The Question" reveals her more spontaneous and adventurous side and highlights her desire to find her own purpose and individuality without Sapphire though she later revealed she was sad that Sapphire wasn't there to share experiences with. This led to Ruby proposing to Sapphire.

History Around 6,000 Years Ago Ruby emerges on a declining colony.[3]

Around 5,750 Years Ago Ruby and Sapphire moments before fusing. Ruby and Sapphire moments before fusing.

Approximately 5,750 years ago, Ruby lived on Homeworld as a common foot soldier. Homeworld was attempting to create a new colony on Earth, which was overseen by Blue Diamond. She was part of the diplomatic team sent to stop Rose's Rebellion on Earth, as one of the three Rubies assigned to guard Sapphire, an aristocratic Gem with prophetic vision, adamant for destroying the uprising in its crib. When the rebels attacked, the three Rubies fought back, attempting to fulfill their jobs, only for two of them to be poofed by Rose Quartz and Pearl before turning to Sapphire.

Before her imminent poofing, Sapphire thanked Ruby for her service, at which point Ruby realized Sapphire had already predicted this and that she knew her physical form would be destroyed. Unable to accept that she had failed in her mission of protecting her, Ruby tackled Sapphire to defend her from Pearl and caused them to accidentally form Garnet, changing the prophecy foretold by Sapphire. They immediately de-fused and were surrounded by an angry crowd. Furious that Ruby interfered with the outcome of the battle (and participating in an unsanctioned fusion with a member of her court), Blue Diamond ordered that she be shattered. However, Sapphire grabbed Ruby and jumped out of the Cloud Arena towards the Earth below, landing them softly with her levitation.

Ruby was distraught that she was unable to protect Sapphire. When it began to rain, she carried Sapphire to a cave for shelter, where she saw Sapphire's single eye for the first time. The two talked about their experience and feelings being fused as Garnet.

The Answer 203 Ruby and Sapphire grew closer and eventually decided to fuse again. Garnet was found by Pearl and Rose shortly after forming. Upon being met with acceptance and not revulsion, she began to bombard Rose with questions about the events and circumstances that allowed her to become Garnet, as well as her own feelings about existing as a fusion. Rose told her to "never question this", and said that she was already the answer to all her questions—love. This would be the beginning of Ruby's existence as part of Garnet for the next few millennia, fighting the Gem Homeworld with the Crystal Gems to protect Earth.

"The Return" Garnet is poofed by Jasper and as a result Ruby and Sapphire reform separately after being kept as prisoners on the Gem Warship with the other Gems.

"Jail Break" Ruby and Sapphire reuniting. Ruby and Sapphire reuniting.

Steven lets Ruby out of her cell and she immediately begins to look for Sapphire. Ruby only wants to find Sapphire and does not care about any other Gems on the ship like Lapis Lazuli. She listens to Sapphire's singing and heads in her direction. After Steven frees her, Ruby and Sapphire reunite in the center of the ship. They make sure they are both okay before fusing once more into Garnet.

"Keeping It Together" Ruby and Sapphire converse while they are Garnet after they see the Cluster Gems. Garnet almost unfuses, but Ruby and Sapphire find peace once again. Ruby becomes enraged and Sapphire tries to calm her down.

"Keystone Motel" Ruby, arguing with Sapphire. Ruby, arguing with Sapphire.

Garnet unfuses because Ruby and Sapphire have a conflict over Pearl's deception in "Cry For Help". Ruby believes that Pearl tricking Garnet into forming Sardonyx is an unforgivable act, while Sapphire is more open to Pearl redeeming herself. Ruby storms out of the hotel room and paces outside to vent her frustration. Ruby's rage manifests in giving off intense heat (her rage burns the carpet and makes the pool temperature rise until it eventually evaporates, in contrast to Sapphires "freezing").

Keystone Motel 348 The next day, at The Best Diner in the World, Ruby angrily shakes their table. Sapphire says that she will cool down eventually, causing Ruby to summon her gauntlet and smash the table onto its side. Steven leaves the diner, upset, and Ruby and Sapphire follow him out to see what is wrong. After realizing the effect of their conflict has on Steven, they make up and re-fuse into Garnet.

"Hit the Diamond" Hit the Diamond HD 070 A Ruby squadron arrives at the Barn, leading Garnet to unfuse so Ruby can get them to leave. Ruby nervously sneaks over and blends in with the other Rubies. She gets information by asking what the plan is. After finding out they are looking for the leader of the Earth mission, whom Ruby believes is Peridot, she tells the others that she will search the Barn. Ruby returns to the others, who are hiding in the barn, very anxiously. Sapphire calms her down and helps her out by suggesting she go back and telling the other Rubies that the Barn is a human home. Steven goes with Ruby to prove that the Barn is nothing but a human facility. Ruby tries to get them to leave once more, but Doc orders the Rubies to double check the Barn. Steven compromises by saying the Rubies can search the barn if they beat the "humans" in a game of baseball.

Hit the Diamond HD 236 During the game, Ruby pretends to be an unskilled player so the Rubies can lose, and she also flirts with Sapphire, causing the latter to lose focus. At the end of the game, Ruby encourages Sapphire until she finally hits the ball and wins the game for the Humans. Out of pure joy and pride, Garnet is accidentally formed, blowing the Crystal Gems' cover.

"Three Gems and a Baby" Fourteen years ago, Garnet de-fuses to show Steven, who she believes is a kind of fusion, how to unfuse, but Ruby and Sapphire re-fuse once baby Steven begins to cry due to missing Garnet.

"Gem Heist" Gem Heist 072 Ruby goes along with Sapphire's plan to disguise themselves in order to enter Pink Diamond's Zoo undetected. Ruby pretends to be Sapphire's personal Ruby and is the one that holds Steven's hands behind his back when the Gems pretend he is an offering for the zoo. Ruby claims that she left the gravity engine on the Roaming Eye so that the Gems have time to try and open up the zoo door without being noticed. When Holly Blue Agate leaves the area after talking about how great Blue Diamond is, Ruby becomes outraged because Blue Diamond rejected fusion, which is essentially her and Sapphire's love. When trying to open the zoo door, Ruby screams wildly, runs on the door itself (which leaves burn marks) and scratches the door.

"That Will Be All" Ruby continues traveling with Sapphire and Pearl after Steven is placed into the Zoo. Inside of the Rose Quartz Bubble Room, Ruby holds Sapphire's hand when she begins to freeze up in front of Blue Diamond. She fuses with Sapphire, later on, to stop Holly Blue Agate from harming Steven and Greg.

"Now We're Only Falling Apart" Now We're Only Falling Apart (42) Garnet unfuses into Ruby and Sapphire upon hearing the revelation that Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond. Sapphire, furious at Ruby for not knowing, leaves in a fit of rage. While Steven and Pearl chase after Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst stay behind at the temple. Upon returning, Steven, Pearl, and Sapphire learn that Ruby had decided to run away and had left a note for Sapphire.

"What's Your Problem?" Steven and Amethyst travel around Beach City in search of Ruby. They pass out missing flyers all around the city and soon find out that Ruby is with Greg on Brooding Hill.

"The Question" The Question (247) Ruby travels with Steven, Greg, and Amethyst in pursuit of becoming a cowboy, due to wanting to be free from being fused with Sapphire as Garnet. Amethyst shapeshifts into a horse so Ruby may ride her across the plains as she experiences her newfound independence. After everyone is asleep, Steven explains to Ruby that he saw how much fun she had, and apologizes to her for insisting she fuse with Sapphire. Ruby then replies that she was having fun, but deeply misses Sapphire and wishes she was there with them. The episode later ends with Ruby proposing to Sapphire, wanting their relationship to be different, instead of being together purely by choice alone.

"Made of Honor" Ruby and Sapphire organize their wedding, practicing where and how it's going to be carried out, inviting many of the citizens of Beach City and the Gems. Sapphire mentions that she would like to have been able to invite old members of the Crystal Gems, who are now either shattered, corrupted, or forced into fusions and now bubbled. That drives Steven to free Bismuth, who reunites with her fellow Gems and makes two rings for the couple (a copper one for Ruby and a tin one for Sapphire[4]).

"Reunited" Reunited (261) Before the wedding begins, Ruby tells Sapphire not to cheat on seeing her wedding dress. When the ceremony starts, Ruby dashes through the altar excitedly rather than walking. After the two say their vows, they exchange the rings Bismuth had made for them, and Steven pronounces them as Garnet. They begin to kiss, fusing again.

"Together Alone" Ruby and Sapphire with determined looks before fusing. Ruby and Sapphire with determined looks before fusing.

They are immediately poofed by Yellow Diamond's electrokinesis.

"Change Your Mind" Her gemstone was released by Steven from Yellow Diamond's bubble in her bubble chamber. She was later accidentally dropped into Homeworld's surface by Steven and picked back up by Rainbow Quartz 2.0 and fused for the first time with Steven and Sapphire's gemstone to form Sunstone.

"I Am My Monster" Ruby and Sapphire motivated by Connie's speech. Ruby and Sapphire motivated by Connie's speech.

Ruby briefly appears along with Sapphire when Steven, in his monstrous form, knocks them all back with a powerful roar that also causes Garnet to unfuse.

Although only seen once, it is clear that Ruby possesses some knowledge of how to use it.Ruby's gauntlet. Ruby's gauntlet.

Musical Ability: Greg taught Ruby how to play the acoustic guitar in "The Question". Within ten minutes, she was skilled enough to improvise a song about her current experiences.

This is shown in "Keystone Motel" when her body gets so hot that it begins burning the carpet of the motel room and boils the pool to nothing but steam in a very short amount of time. It is shown to be related to Ruby's emotional state, as the ability manifested itself when she got furious in the aforementioned episode and when she felt infatuated in "The Answer", as she set the grass beneath her ablaze when Sapphire thanked her. When fused as Garnet, Ruby's pyrokinesis fuses with Sapphire's cryokinesis and forms Garnet's electrokinesis, as thunderstorms can result from the formation of masses of cold and warm air. Pyrokinetic Touch: This ability allows Ruby to set fire to whatever she touches. As shown in "The Answer" and "Keystone Motel", she accidentally sets fire to the grass beneath her the minute she got flustered and the carpet when she became angry, respectively. The same occurred in "Reunited" when she excitedly walked down the stairs. In "The Question", Ruby proved she can use her pyrokinetic touch at will and while in a neutral state of mind to make a fire. Fire Dash: Ruby can move at high speed by forming a fireball around herself, as shown during "Reunited".​​​​ Heat Resistance: Ruby has not demonstrated this ability, but it was confirmed that the only reason Garnet can swim in lava is by Ruby. She shares this power with Bismuth. Relationships Sapphire “ I used to feel like I wasn't much good just one of me on my own. But when we're together it feels like... it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me... with you.

” —Ruby, "Reunited" According to Garnet in "The Answer", Ruby and Sapphire met 5,750 years ago. She and Sapphire helped each other adapt to Earth. Ruby and Sapphire's romantic relationship is based on Ian Jones-Quartey and Rebecca Sugar's relationship. Garnet's dialogue in "Love Letters" reveals that their relationship developed over a period of time. Ruby prioritizes Sapphire's safety above everything else. In "Jail Break", when she immediately panics when realizing that the two have been separated and becomes reckless trying to find her, trying to pass through the energy field (as hinted by the screams of pain heard at the beginning), running around without checking if Peridot and Jasper are around and loudly shouting for Sapphire whenever she stops singing. When she finds Sapphire, the two embrace and Sapphire kisses away Ruby's tears, showing their romantic relationship. She expressed deep concern for possible injury.

"Keystone Motel" reveals that their relationship can be strained at times due to Sapphire's precognition, causing her to be preoccupied with the outcome of events, instead of the events as they happen. This puts her at odds with the passionate Ruby, who very much lives "at the moment". In this episode, Ruby was furious over Pearl's deception in "Cry for Help", but Sapphire was not because she had seen that in the future they would all get along again. This greatly irritated Ruby, as she felt that Sapphire was acting cold, uncaring, emotionless and distant. By the end of the episode, she sees how much the ordeal affected Sapphire and, realizing that being furious is helping nobody, apologized for her behavior.

In "Hit the Diamond", the two unfused for a baseball game to protect Peridot. During the game, the two get distracted and start flirting, which causes them to almost lose. Steven tells the two to cut it out, which they begrudgingly do. When Sapphire states that all she wants to look at is Ruby, Ruby encourages Sapphire to focus on the ball, stating that she can look at her when she is running for home. When Sapphire gets a home run, she runs to hug Ruby and they accidentally fuse, despite being counter-intuitive to the plan of keeping Peridot and the Crystal Gems secret.

Ruby and Sapphire kiss and fuse back into Garnet. Ruby and Sapphire kiss and fuse back into Garnet.

After learning the truth about Rose Quartz in "A Single Pale Rose", Sapphire separates from Ruby in the following episode as she feels their relationship was built on lies. Ruby was hurt by Sapphire's outburst and went to Greg for comfort. In "The Question", she embraces the fact she is her own Gem for the first time and becomes a cowboy with Steven, Greg, and Amethyst. Ruby admits that while she did have fun, she thought of Sapphire the whole time, and decided to propose to her after being influenced by a page in a comic book shown to her by Steven. Ruby tells Sapphire that if they are married it will mean that for the first time they can form Garnet not because of someone else's influence, but because of their own choice, thus creating a brand-new context for Garnet and their relationship. The two are finally wed and are officially a married couple as of "Reunited".

Steven Universe “ But I think they'd work it out if they'd just talk to each other!

” —Steven, "Keystone Motel" Steven trying to calm Ruby down. Steven trying to calm Ruby down.

At first, Ruby seems distant towards Steven, only focusing on finding and forming Garnet with Sapphire as soon as possible. In reality, Ruby cares deeply for Steven, as hinted when she tries to tell him not to put his hand through the force field for his own safety. Garnet also says that both Ruby and Sapphire already love Steven when he asks if he made a good first impression. She is also upset by the fact that their plan of revealing themselves on Steven's birthday had failed, apparent when she says to Steven, "Great! This is just perfect!" and "Don't look at me!" She cried along with Sapphire when they rescued Steven from suffocating in space in "Bubbled". In "Keystone Motel", Ruby obliges in Steven's attempts to calm her down, and upon seeing how Steven was affected by her and Sapphire fighting, Ruby and Sapphire both felt very guilty and made up. In "Hit the Diamond" when Steven tells Ruby to "stop being cute" to focus on the game, Ruby does so, showing she respects Steven enough to listen to him. "The Question" shows Ruby's trust in Steven as a confidant during their prairie adventure when she tells Steven how much she still misses Sapphire and Steven inspires her to ask Sapphire to marry her. "Made of Honor" shows how much she values Steven's opinion as he helps plan her and Sapphire's wedding.

Amethyst “ I don't know. Maybe she'll come back. It's not my job to babysit her.

” —Amethyst, "What's Your Problem?" Ruby riding Amethyst. Ruby riding Amethyst.

Amethyst is shown to not care that Ruby left, but would rather play video games with Steven. While searching for Ruby, she is shown to slack around and not focus on the task. But in the end, Amethyst expresses her feelings for Steven and helps him find Ruby. Afterward, in "The Question", she allows Ruby to ride on her back as a horse, stating that she still cares about her even when she's not Garnet.

Pearl “ I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!

” —Ruby talking through Garnet, "Keystone Motel" Ruby commanding Pearl to open the door. Ruby commanding Pearl to open the door.

During "Keystone Motel", Ruby is greatly angered by Pearl's trickery regarding the Communication Hub. In the episode "Hit the Diamond", Pearl seems delighted to see Ruby and Sapphire when they unfuse from Garnet. In "Gem Heist", Ruby commands Pearl to open the door, and Pearl responds by asking what else she's good for. In "Now We're Only Falling Apart", Pearl apologizes to Ruby for the disappearance of Sapphire, meaning that she cares about Ruby's feelings even if she is not fused as Garnet.

Lapis Lazuli “ Oh, it's just you...

” —"Jail Break" Lapis Lazuli high fiving Ruby. Lapis Lazuli high fiving Ruby.

Not much is known of Ruby's specific opinion on Lapis Lazuli, however, if it is anything like Garnet's, she is rather indifferent about her and would possibly look at her as not much of an ally, but not much of an enemy either. Upon meeting her in "Jail Break", she says, "Oh, it's just you...", implying that she holds more of a negative attitude towards Lapis Lazuli. Although this could just be because she was primarily focused on finding Sapphire and not Lapis. However, Ruby's view of Lapis seems to have changed in "Hit the Diamond", where they seem to be getting along, shown by Ruby offering Lapis a high five, which she accepts. This is probably because of her experiences of her through Garnet.

Greg Universe “ Whoa... tha-that's not our call to make! Ruby's gotta want that for herself! If that's not what Ruby wants, then it's not what Garnet wants, right?

” —Greg, "The Question" Ruby sitting with Greg. Ruby sitting with Greg.

Not much is known about her relationship with Greg, but Greg, at least, knew that she and Sapphire were the fusion components of Garnet, and considering most humans are not close enough to her to know this knowledge, this, at least, shows he knows her rather well. Their friendship is further displayed in "The Question", where Ruby goes to Greg for company after she unfuses from Sapphire due to the revelation of Rose's true identity as Pink Diamond. Greg orders pizza for the two of them, and helps Ruby overcome her heartbreak. He also accompanies her on her adventure as a cowboy.

Blue Diamond “ I can't believe all that stuff about Blue Diamond being merciful! She's a shatterer! She yelled at Sapphire! She hates fusion! And love!

” —Ruby, "Gem Heist" In "The Answer", Blue Diamond is outraged at Ruby and Sapphire for fusing. She states that Ruby will be "broken" before Sapphire runs off with Ruby. Her negative opinions on Blue Diamond are further confirmed in "Gem Heist" when Ruby struggles to keep her identity a secret due to Holly Blue Agate's compliments towards the "merciful" Blue Diamond. Ruby, later on, claims these compliments to be false, calling Blue Diamond a "shatterer", who yelled at Sapphire and accusing her of hating fusion and love.

Cluster Gems “ This is punishment for the rebellion!

” —Ruby talking through Garnet, "Keeping It Together" Ruby part of crying in horror over the sight of a . Ruby part of Garnet crying in horror over the sight of a Cluster Gem.

Upon encountering the Cluster Gems, Ruby and Sapphire are both disturbed to the point of almost unfusing. While Ruby reacted with the most verbal anger and outrage at what Gem Homeworld had done to their fallen friends, it is Garnet's right eye that started crying, indicating that Ruby is especially saddened.

Trivia Garnet fusion hint in "". Garnet fusion hint in "Fusion Cuisine".

We Are The Crystal Gems (136) Warp Tour (208) Although she is not formally introduced until "Jail Break", her first appearance is in "Fusion Cuisine". When Alexandrite is separated, her silhouette, along with Sapphire's, is noticed. The left of "Garnet" is seen as Ruby, and the right of "Garnet" is seen as Sapphire. When asked if Ruby is blind (after Ruby said "I can't see!" in "Jail Break"), Joe Johnston merely stated that she was "used to being fused with Sapphire, and so, used to having two types of vision."[6] Ruby possibly has her own room in the Crystal Temple, as the Temple Gate has a red gemstone and a blue gemstone that Garnet opens simultaneously. Most of Garnet's sensitive side seems to come from Ruby; whenever Garnet cries, her tears fall from her right eye (the red-colored one) that represents Ruby: Ruby cried when she and Sapphire met again in "Jail Break" while Sapphire herself appeared to remain calm in "Keeping It Together" after meeting the Cluster Gems. Ruby is the birthstone of Rebecca Sugar. During times of great conflict of opinion, she and Sapphire can talk to each other individually through Garnet, as shown in "Keeping It Together" and "Keystone Motel". The first hint of Ruby along with Sapphire was in the episode "Together Breakfast" when Garnet opens the door to her room. This shows two red and blue stones resembling gems light up creating an entrance for Garnet. In "We Are the Crystal Gems", Ruby is shown to be cracking or holding her knuckles, a sign of toughness, or that she is ready to fight while Sapphire is holding her hands together, interlocking her fingers. This shows that she is calm, graceful and passionate. On the other hand, Ruby seems calmer than expected from her, and Sapphire more upbeat than usual, possibly indicating that being Garnet brings balance to their personalities. Ruby's thermoregulation of directly raising the temperature opposes Sapphire's thermoregulation of lowering the temperature, representing their polar opposite personalities. Ruby's ability to raise the temperature is somewhat of a pun, being that in "Keystone Motel", where Ruby is quite literally letting off steam, and acting like a "hothead". This is also shown when Sapphire says, "She'll eventually just burn herself out." Although Ruby's gemstone is in her left palm, she is shown summoning her gauntlet on her right hand. Ruby's gemstone cut is a square while Sapphire's is a triangle. While triangles are self-sustaining in that each side of a triangle supports the other two, squares are not (i.e. a free-formed square can be changed into a rhombus without stretching or contracting sides). This could be a metaphor for Ruby being the hotheaded counterpart to Sapphire, as she is shown to "collapse" easily as well. Ruby's instrument has been confirmed to be "a crude waveform in between a square and a saw wave."[7] In addition, her instrument was reverse-engineered from Garnet's as seen in "Keystone Motel". SU Season 4 Ruby's projection and gemstone design was the inspiration for the DVD cover of the Steven Universe Season 4 (Australian Set). Ruby's gauntlet greatly resembles the anti-hero Hellboy's "Right Hand of Doom". Currently, Ruby and Pearl have the most known fusions out of all the Crystal Gems, with a total of 8. In chronological order, these fusions include; a fusion with two other Rubies, Garnet, the original Obsidian, Sugilite, Alexandrite, Sardonyx, the hybrid Sunstone and the hybrid Obsidian. "Hit the Diamond" marks Ruby's as well as Sapphire's first appearance outside of a StevenBomb. Ruby's design is inspired by K.O.,[8] a character from Ian Jones Quartey's show, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, which also aired on Cartoon Network. Despite the fact that she has been a Crystal Gem for 5,752 years, she is one of the only members (aside from the uncorrupted gems) that have not reformed with a star. The ruby is closely associated with aspects such as vitality, life, passion, and fire, all of which can be symbolically linked to the color red. This shows in Ruby's emotional temperaments and overall emotional/angry attitude as well as her strength. It is said that rubies can over-stimulate people who are sensitive or irritable. Gemstone Image Description Ruby Gemstone Ruby's gemstone is located on her right palm, with a deep red complexion. It is a decahedron, specifically a truncated square bipyramid, as such, a square's centered in each side. Its overall shape is circular. As seen in "Together Alone" the front and back are symmetrical, and it has a light pink ring around it, which is usually hidden inside her body unless she is regenerating.

Sapphire is a member of the Crystal Gems who made her official debut in "Jail Break". Previously a member of Blue Diamond's court, her mission was to inform her Diamond about the Rebels' attack using her future vision. After one of her guards, Ruby, accidentally fused with her, Sapphire fled with her to prevent her from being shattered by Blue Diamond. Sapphire later joined the Crystal Gems and remains together with Ruby as their fusion, Garnet.

Appearance Sapphire's singular eye. Sapphire's singular eye.

Sapphire is a slender Gem, slightly taller than Ruby. She has periwinkle blue skin, prominent lips, and a large eye with a dodger blue iris and pupil. Her hair is pale blue, long, and wavy, with her bangs covering the top half of her face. Her facial structure resembles Garnet's. Her gemstone is in the palm of her right hand.

First Form In "The Answer", which flashes back to the Rebellion when she was part of Blue Diamond's court, Sapphire's dress has a white top with the Blue Diamond insignia and a navy blue vest with a frilly bottom. Although her feet are not visible, she is implied to have been barefoot (based on imagery seen in "Isn't It Love?" and Garnet's first form lacking a shoe on one foot). This form reappears in Steven Universe: The Movie when the Crystal Gems are reset to their first forms from the Gem Rejuvenator, albeit the frilly bottom is now a lighter blue.

Previous Regeneration Before her regeneration in "Jail Break" but in "Three Gems and a Baby", Sapphire's dress had navy blue sleeves and a dark blue vest without a pinafore.

Pre-Regeneration (debut) Sapphire wore a floor-length gown with white, rounded, puffy sleeves, a navy top with a blue pinafore, and a blue skirt with several frilly layers in several blue shades resembling an open geode. She also wore white elbow-length evening gloves. On her feet (which are usually hidden by her dress) Sapphire wears blue shoes, as seen in "Gem Heist". Since her wedding, she now wears a tin ring on her right ring finger.

Post-Regeneration (current) After her regeneration in "Change Your Mind", Sapphire continues to wear a floor-length gown, but she now has a white top with pointier, puffy sleeves, as well as a long, light blue vest with navy trimmings. She also continues to wear her white elbow-length gloves and her wedding ring.

Other Outfits In "Reunited ", Sapphire forewent her dress to wear a black tuxedo with a pink rose in her upper pocket during her wedding to Ruby, and her hair was tied back with a blue ribbon.

Personality “ Why does she always act like I'm being ridiculous? Just because she wants to pretend that she doesn't have any feelings!

” —Ruby, "Keystone Motel" Sapphire is seen to be very compassionate, level-headed, serene, and patient. She balances out Ruby's much more impulsive personality when they are fused as Garnet. She is quick-thinking; able to come up with quick solutions such as Steven's immunity to the energy field almost immediately and comes with a plan on the spot to enter Pink Diamond's Zoo undetected in "Gem Heist".

Because of her precognitive abilities, which allow her to have experienced the resolution of an event prior to it happening, Sapphire can come off as cold and distant. This is shown in "Keystone Motel", in which she feels the best option is to face problems by acting as though they have already been resolved. Because of this, she has trouble expressing her emotions in the present, heavily contrasting with her partner Ruby, who has a difficult time concealing her emotions. Her blasé attitude to the present can make her appear somewhat passive-aggressive. Despite this, Sapphire is shown to be more outgoing between Ruby and herself, willing to start a conversation with one of her Ruby escorts about her thoughts on the Earth. In "Hit the Diamond", she is shown to be rather amorous and flirty with Ruby, to the point of detriment to her team.

In the same episode, Sapphire is shown to have a more violent side to her. When the leader of the Homeworld Rubies threw a flaming fastball, she managed to hit a home run by encasing the bat in ice, all the while screaming with determination. When under a lot of stress, Sapphire is seemingly unable to control her powers, leading to her both figuratively and literally freezing up as ice begins to encase her in "The Answer" and "That Will Be All". "Now We're Only Falling Apart" goes further in-depth with this when her stress over Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond causes her to freeze and make snow the entirety of Rose's Fountain and the surrounding terrain. She forgoes her usual calm demeanor, greatly expressing her rage over Rose's deception and leaving to her Fountain in order to reflect on the matter. However, Sapphire isn't above reason even when under emotional disquietude, listening to Pearl's story on why Pink Diamond became Rose Quartz and started the rebellion. After she calms down, she realizes that she must apologize to Ruby right away, showing her concern for Ruby which turns in deep desolation at the loss of her partner in "What's Your Problem?", having learned Ruby has run away and worries she will never return.

In Steven Universe Future, Sapphire has let go of her belief in only one future existing, even when unfused from Ruby, who allows them to see multiple futures as Garnet. This is further backed up in "Together Forever", when Sapphire is seen teaching other Gems the possibility of anything happening in the future.

History Pre-Series 8,000 years ago, Sapphire emerged in a Homeworld Kindergarten.[2]

Over 5,750 years ago, Sapphire lived on Homeworld, being an aristocratic Gem who formed part of Blue Diamond's court. Sapphire later was part of the diplomatic team sent to stop Rose Quartz's Rebellion on Earth, along with 3 Rubies assigned to guard her. Sapphire saw a future where the rebels, Rose Quartz and Pearl, were indeed caught and stopped, but seven Gems, including herself and two of her Ruby Guards, were going to be poofed in the process. Just as she finished reporting her premonition to Blue Diamond, the rebels attacked as Sapphire had predicted, and destroyed the physical forms of six Gems, including two of her Ruby guards.

Before Sapphire was struck down, her remaining Ruby jumped forward and pushed her out of the way of Pearl's sword. They accidentally fused and formed Garnet for the first time. This first-ever fusion of two different Gems caused an uproar among the other Gems, during which Rose and Pearl escaped. However, Blue Diamond wasn't pleased and declared that Ruby shall be shattered for fusing with a member of her court and changing Sapphire's prophecy. However, Sapphire grabbed Ruby by the hand and ran off the edge of the Cloud Arena, floating down to Earth below. Sapphire was "frozen" because her future vision was wrong for the first time due to Ruby's impulsive nature. They found shelter in a cave, where Sapphire revealed her eye to Ruby and the two talked about their feelings when they were Garnet.

Ruby and Sapphire grew closer and eventually decided to fuse again, as seen when they sing "Something Entirely New". Garnet was found by Pearl and Rose shortly after forming. Upon being met with acceptance and not revulsion, she began to bombard Rose with questions about the events and circumstances that allowed her to become Garnet, as well as her own feelings about existing as a fusion. Rose told her to "never question this" and that she was already the answer to all her questions—love. This would be the beginning of Sapphire's existence as part of Garnet for the next thousand years, fighting Homeworld with the Crystal Gems to protect Earth. At some point, she and Ruby chose to fuse permanently.

"Three Gems and a Baby" Soon after Steven is born, Garnet unfuses to show Steven, who she believes is a kind of fusion, how to unfuse, but Ruby and Sapphire fuse once baby Steven begins to cry due to missing Garnet.

"The Return" Garnet is poofed by Jasper and as a result Ruby and Sapphire reform separately after being kept as prisoners on the Gem Warship with the other Gems.

"Jail Break" Sapphire sings in her cell in order to signal to Steven and Ruby. After Steven finds and frees Sapphire, she and Ruby reunite in the center of the ship. They make sure they are both all right before fusing once more into Garnet.

"Keeping It Together" Ruby and Sapphire converse while they are Garnet after they see the Cluster Gems. While Ruby becomes enraged, Sapphire tries to calm her down. Garnet almost unfuses, but Ruby and Sapphire find peace once again.

"Keystone Motel" Garnet unfuses because Ruby and Sapphire have a conflict over Pearl's deception in "Cry for Help". Ruby believes that Pearl tricking Garnet into forming Sardonyx is an unforgivable act, while Sapphire is more open to Pearl redeeming herself. After Ruby storms out of the motel room, Sapphire sits quietly on a bed, expecting Ruby to calm down and see that Sapphire is right. The next day, at The Best Diner in the World, Sapphire says that Ruby will burn herself out eventually, causing Ruby to summon her gauntlet and smash the table onto its side. When Steven leaves the diner, upset, Ruby and Sapphire follow him out to see what is wrong. After realizing the effect of their conflict has on Steven, they reconcile and re-fuse into Garnet.

"Hit the Diamond" A Ruby squadron arrives at the Barn, leading Garnet to unfuse so Ruby can get them to leave. Ruby fails at this, but Steven convinces the Rubies that they can't search the barn until they win at baseball against a team of humans, and they have to leave if they lose. Sapphire, Amethyst, Pearl, and Lapis Lazuli all pretend to be humans and play on Steven's team. While playing, Sapphire and Ruby get distracted by constantly flirting and talking to each other, as Steven separates them to focus on winning. At the end of the game, Ruby encourages Sapphire until she finally hits the ball and wins the game for the humans. Out of pure joy and pride, Sapphire jumps into Ruby's arms and the two accidentally form Garnet, blowing the Crystal Gems' cover.

"Mindful Education" When Garnet is teaching Stevonnie how to stay fused under stress, Ruby is shown to get frustrated, but then Sapphire comforts her, teaching Steven and Connie that they have to work together to stay together.

"Gem Heist" In order to fit in, Garnet unfuses, and Sapphire devises a plan to sneak into Pink Diamond's Zoo undetected. The Crystal Gems pretend to be Homeworld Gems delivering Steven as another human for the zoo. Sapphire asks Holly Blue Agate to take her, Ruby, and Pearl on a tour of the zoo, hoping to find a door to the enclosure through which Greg Universe can escape. Holly Blue shows them one, and Ruby and Sapphire distract Holly Blue by telling her that their ship's engine is in danger of exploding. Sapphire leaves with Holly Blue to give the other Crystal Gems time to figure out how to open the door. They fail to open it, however, and Steven is sent into the enclosure alone.

"That Will Be All" Sapphire continues traveling with Ruby, Pearl, and Holly Blue. Inside the Rose Quartz Bubble Room, Sapphire begins to freeze up in front of Blue Diamond when pressured to explain why she delivered Steven to the zoo, but Ruby holds Sapphire's hand to comfort her, and Sapphire is able to maintain their façade. Once Sapphire, Ruby, and Pearl are reunited with Amethyst, Steven, and Greg, they try to sneak back to their ship while hiding Steven and Greg from Holly Blue. However, once Holly Blue realizes what's going on and attacks the Crystal Gems, Ruby and Sapphire fuse once more to protect the others.

"Now We're Only Falling Apart" Following the revelation that Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond, Garnet destabilizes and unfuses, with Ruby sad and attempting to comfort the furious, betrayed Sapphire, who takes the lie personally, quite the opposite from their reactions to Pearl's betrayal in "Cry for Help". Sapphire yells at Ruby, taking out her stress on her, and questions their relationship. Sapphire warps to Rose's Fountain, leaving Ruby in tears as Pearl and Steven go after her. At Rose's Fountain, Sapphire felt useless and ignorant for not being able to see this via her future vision. Because of her hatred for the diamonds, she assumes Pink was only using the rebels as pawns. Pearl tells Sapphire and Steven the story of Pink Diamond's and Pearl's past. In the end, Sapphire returns to the house with Pearl and Steven, understanding that they didn't follow Rose; instead, Rose followed them. However, once they warp back, Sapphire becomes shocked to find nobody in the now dark, vacant house, and a letter from Ruby.

"What's Your Problem?" After Steven, Pearl, and Sapphire return from Rose's fountain, Sapphire finds a letter from Ruby explaining that she is leaving. Steven, Pearl and Sapphire ask Amethyst if she knows where Ruby went, but she has not seen her since supplying the pen and paper to write the note. Sapphire breaks down in guilt while Pearl attempts to console her. In tears, she exclaims, "Why would she [Ruby] be a cowboy?!", correctly predicting Ruby's western act in "The Question".

"The Question" When Steven returns to the Beach House, he finds Sapphire being comforted by Pearl, telling Sapphire that Ruby is outside waiting to tell her something. Sapphire goes out and greets her, apologizing for her earlier behavior. To Sapphire's surprise, Ruby gets down on one knee and asks her to marry her so that they can be together even when they are not fused as Garnet. Sapphire happily accepts the proposal.

"Made of Honor" Ruby and Sapphire organize their wedding, practicing where and how it is going to be carried out, inviting many of the citizens of Beach City and the Gems. Sapphire mentions that she would like to have been able to invite old members of the Crystal Gems, who are now either shattered or corrupted and bubbled. That drives Steven to free Bismuth, who reunites with her fellow Gems and makes two rings for the couple, a copper one for Ruby and a tin one for Sapphire[3].

"Reunited" Before the wedding begins, Sapphire agrees to not cheat on seeing Ruby's wedding dress. After the two say their vows, they exchange the rings Bismuth had made for them, and Steven pronounces them as Garnet. They begin to kiss, fusing again.

"Together Alone" Sapphire is forced to defuse from Ruby in order to attend the Era 3 Ball. She appears alongside other Sapphires approaching Steven. She later fuses back with Ruby into Garnet, after Steven and Connie fused, but is poofed by Yellow Diamond almost immediately afterward.

"Change Your Mind" Her gemstone was released by Steven from Yellow Diamond's bubble in her bubble chamber. She was later accidentally dropped into Homeworld's surface by Steven and picked back up by Rainbow Quartz 2.0 and fused for the first time with Steven and Ruby's gemstone to form Sunstone.

Steven Universe: The Movie She has a rather minor appearance. She gets brought back in "System/BOOT.pearl final(3).Info", and after introducing herself to Ruby, they go off-screen. A few minutes later, Steven tries to cause a disaster, but Sapphire says he won't, and he doesn't. Instead, Spinel accidentally causes a disaster in which an anvil almost falls on Ruby; however, Sapphire pushes her away, and they fuse.

"Snow Day" She and Ruby unfuse for a short period of time to persuade Steven to play Steven Tag and regain his childlike spirit. She beats Steven in Steven Tag with the use of her future vision and then fuses back into Garnet in the form of 14 year old Steven.

"Together Forever" Sapphire appears giving a class to other Gems about alternate timelines, where she gives advice to Steven on marrying Connie.

"I Am My Monster" Sapphire makes a brief appearance along with Ruby when Steven, in his monstrous form, knocks them all back with a powerful roar, which also causes Garnet to unfuse. As the Cluster tries to restrain Steven, Sapphire breaks down in tears with Ruby, fearing that Steven may remain a monster forever if they can't reach out to him. After Connie chastises the group and reminds them that Steven needs their help, Ruby and Sapphire regain hope and fuse back into Garnet once again.

Abilities Sapphire possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability. However, it's possible that she doesn't have her own weapon because when a fusion summons their weapon, they start with the weapons of their separate gem components, and none of Sapphire's fusions (including Obsidian, who displayed Ruby's gauntlet) revealed Sapphire's weapon.

Fusions When fused with Ruby, they form Garnet. When fused with Ruby and Amethyst, they form Sugilite. When fused with Ruby and Pearl, they form Sardonyx. When fused with Ruby and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Sunstone. When fused with Ruby, Pearl, and Amethyst, they form Alexandrite. When fused with Ruby, Pearl, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz, they form Obsidian. When fused with Ruby, Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven, they form the hybrid fusion Obsidian. Natural Abilities Enhanced Strength: Sapphire's strength. Sapphire's strength.

Sapphire is way stronger than humans, she is able to leap massive heights and she can lift humans with ease. In "Hit the Diamond", Sapphire sent a baseball so hard that it went through a cloud. Enhanced Speed: Sapphire's enhanced speed. Sapphire's enhanced speed.

Sapphire has proven to be able to travel great distances in a short time, possibly due to floating and not walking on legs. This ability isn't yet seen in any other Gem other than Diamonds. Shapeshifting: Like most other Gems, Sapphire is capable of altering her physical form. This is first shown in "Hit the Diamond", when Sapphire shapeshifted to wear human clothes. In "Reunited", she shapeshifts a wedding tuxedo. In "Snow Day", she shapeshifts into "Classic" Steven during a game of "Steven Tag". Bubbling: Sapphire is able to bubble objects. Her bubbles are cyan and are sent to the Burning Room inside the Temple. She only uses this ability in Issue 15. Unique Abilities Future Vision: Sapphire can see the future to some extent. According to Garnet, this ability is rare among Gems, enough so to place Sapphire in Blue Diamond's court. This power is hinted when she was able to find Ruby in a matter of seconds in "Jail Break", then confirmed in "Keystone Motel". In "What's Your Problem?", it is hinted that, like Garnet, Sapphire mainly relies on probability to see the future, doubting that she would be able to predict the course of action of someone she could not be completely objective about someone as spontaneous as Ruby. She also doubts some predictions due to how unlikely seemed to her, despite she succeeded in "The Question". Singular Futures: Unlike Garnet, who can see multiple futures due to Ruby's impulsive influence and intervene in the change of the future, Sapphire could only see one definitive future where she doesn't intervene, probably for her passive personality.[4] [5] According to Rebecca Sugar in an interview, Garnet can see multiple futures, while Sapphire is only able to see one single main timeline.[6] Cryokinesis: Sapphire's cryokinesis. Sapphire's cryokinesis.

Sapphire can drastically lower the temperature of her surroundings, which is rather linked to her emotions rather than a conscious ability. This includes forming ice on the walls or freezing water in "Keystone Hotel". Offensively, Sapphire can freeze objects into solid ice and quickly summon ice spikes from the ground, as respectively seen in "Hit the Diamond", when she froze a baseball bat, and in "Now We're Only Falling Apart", where her power made it snow around Rose's fountain. This ability contrasts to Ruby's ability to raise the temperature. When fused as Garnet, Sapphire's cryokinesis fuses with Ruby's pyrokinesis and forms Garnet's electrokinesis, as thunderstorms can result from the formation of masses of cold and warm air. Levitation: Sapphire's levitation. Sapphire's levitation.

Sapphire can hover in the air at will. This ability was shown in "Keystone Motel" when she hovers onto the bed and when she can land herself with Ruby gently onto the ground in "The Answer". Relationships Ruby “ Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending till the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will.

” —Sapphire, "Reunited" According to Garnet in "The Answer", Ruby and Sapphire met 5,750 years (and 8 months) ago. The romantic nature of their relationship has been confirmed by both Joe Johnston and Ian Jones-Quartey.[7][8][9] She and Sapphire helped each other adapt to Earth. Garnet's dialogue in "Love Letters" reveals that their relationship developed over a period of time. The first time they are seen on the show, she kisses Ruby, who is crying tears of relief after discovering she is safe. In "Hit the Diamond", they unfused to play baseball against the team of Rubies. Sapphire disguised as a human named Sophie, and Ruby posed as one of the Rubies in the search squad. During the game, the two flirt continuously, being able to focus on little but each other, which almost causes them to lose the game. At the end of the game, Ruby encourages Sapphire enough to be able to hit the ball. After Sapphire hit a home run, the two excitedly jump into each other's arms and accidentally fuse in front of the other Rubies, exposing their true identities in the process.

In "Keystone Motel", because they were mad at Pearl for lying, they temporarily split up to calm down and come to terms with each other's feelings toward Pearl's actions. She is shown to be the calmer member of the relationship (as she said she was filled with rage but looked as calm as she was), sometimes to the point of seeming aloof, which infuriates Ruby further. "Keystone Motel" also reveals that their relationship can be strained at times due to Sapphire's precognition, causing her to be preoccupied with the outcome of events, instead of the events as they happen. This caused them some degree of conflict throughout the episode, as Ruby was angry that Sapphire was so willing to forgive Pearl after manipulating them and that Sapphire seemed to dismiss her feelings. They share a great concern for Steven, which ultimately leads them to talk about and resolve their conflict at the end of the episode, and they form Garnet once more.

Sapphire has shown to be somewhat emotionally dependent and centered on Ruby, constantly focusing on and flirting with her during "Hit the Diamond" even saying that Ruby is all she wants to look at, and completely breaking down when she thinks Ruby is gone and their relationship has ended. It is shown in "That Will Be All" that Ruby can easily calm down Sapphire when she is nervous and literally freezing up by simply holding her hand. In the episode "The Question" Ruby asked Sapphire to marry her, to which she responded saying, "Of course". The two got married in "Reunited".

Steven Universe “ But we made him feel... like it was his fault.

” —"Keystone Motel" Sapphire spending some time with Steven. Sapphire spending some time with Steven.

Sapphire made less of an intent to hide her identity from Steven than Ruby but still did not tell him she was part of Garnet, as her and Ruby's intent was to properly introduce themselves to Steven on his birthday. She, along with Ruby, cares for Steven greatly — when Steven asked Garnet if he made a good first impression, Garnet assured him that both Ruby and Sapphire already loved him. Garnet even cried over him, as they saved him from suffocating in space in "Bubbled". She can seem somewhat cold toward him when under stress, as she shot down his idea to talk things over with Ruby in "Keystone Motel" without even hearing him out. Despite this, she was still willing to watch TV with him, even using her future vision to see what channel he would like. After realizing that Steven felt like it was all his fault that Garnet and Pearl were fighting, Sapphire felt incredibly guilty to the point of crying. Like Garnet, Sapphire grew to respect Steven's mature attitude and listened to his thoughts about Pink Diamond.

Rose Quartz “ She lied to us! She lied about everything! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her!

” —"Now We're Only Falling Apart" Sapphire's grief causing it to snow at Rose's Fountain. Sapphire's grief causing it to snow at Rose's Fountain.

Like most of the Crystal Gems, Sapphire greatly respected Rose Quartz as a leader and friend. She also deeply trusted Rose to the point of never questioning her judgment, owing to her sustained existence as Garnet to Rose. Upon the discovery that Rose was actually the rebellion's mortal enemy Pink Diamond in "A Single Pale Rose" and "Now We're Only Falling Apart", Sapphire felt deeply manipulated and betrayed, believing she could have known the truth with her powers and cursing herself for never second-guessing her, even going so far as to separate from Ruby under the belief that their relationship was based on a lie. After Pearl explained Rose's true intentions to her, however, Sapphire regained some peace of mind over Rose's actions, understanding that their leader was inspired by her eventual followers and not using them.

Pearl “ Oh, Pearl! How will I ever get her back?! I... I don't know! You two are incredible together! It can't be over! It can't be over!

During "Keystone Motel", Sapphire is more willing to forgive Pearl's trickery regarding the Communication Hub. In the episode "Hit the Diamond", Pearl seems delighted to see Ruby and Sapphire when they unfuse from Garnet. In the episodes "Now We're Only Falling Apart" and "What's Your Problem?", Pearl and Sapphire share a lot of individual interaction. In the former, Pearl willingly explains the backstory of Rose to Sapphire, who is furious over the revelation. Sapphire then finds out Rose was following their example, claiming Pearl "swept Rose off her feet." In the latter episode, Pearl attempts to comfort a crying Sapphire but ends up crying with Sapphire herself. In "The Question", Pearl is briefly seen comforting Sapphire before Steven enters the Beach House.

Amethyst “ Why don't you guys take all this into the temple?

” —Amethyst, "What's Your Problem?" Unlike with Garnet, Amethyst doesn't seem to consider Sapphire's feelings, as she tells Sapphire and Pearl to take that into the temple while both are crying. This is later explained to not be out of malice but because Amethyst doesn't want Sapphire to dump her issues and put even more stress on Steven.

The Great Diamond Authority “ Of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us like this...

” —"Now We're Only Falling Apart" Due to her experiences during the rebellion, Sapphire felt great resentment towards the Diamonds, believing them all to be cruel, manipulative, and uncaring by nature.

Blue Diamond “ My diamond, I have arrived.

” —"The Answer" Sapphire being judged by Blue Diamond. Sapphire being judged by Blue Diamond.

Sapphire was once a subordinate of Blue Diamond, as well as an aristocrat in her court. Blue Diamond valued Sapphire highly due to her unique power to see into the future. After accidentally fusing with Ruby into Garnet, Sapphire rebelled against her superior to save Ruby and formally defected to the side of the Crystal Gems. As seen in "Steven's Dream", Sapphire is afraid to face her former superior again, fearful she would recognize her. In "That Will Be All", Blue Diamond does not seem to recognize her in the bubbled room. However, when Blue Diamond tells the group that she never sent a Sapphire to Earth, Sapphire freezes up, reigniting her fear until Ruby holds her hand for comfort. In "Reunited", Blue Diamond recognizes Garnet as the fusion who disrupted her court.

Pink Diamond “ Everything we were running from, she was right there all along...using us for her little war...smiling at us with those knowing eyes... Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real, and now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted...of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this...

” —"Now We're Only Falling Apart" Sapphire expressed a particular hatred towards Pink Diamond, the supposed mortal enemy of the Crystal Gems for her tyranny over Earth and all life on it. Upon the discovery in "A Single Pale Rose" and "Now We're Only Falling Apart" that Rose Quartz was actually an alias for Pink Diamond, Sapphire came to the conclusion that everything she and the other Crystal Gems fought and died for was just part of a long, sick game of Pink's to torture them millennia after the war had ended. After Pearl explained Pink's true reasons for starting the rebellion, including her failure to peacefully negotiate with the other Diamonds, Sapphire began to understand that the ideals Pink expressed as Rose were still genuine and that she was not the cruel tyrant she believed her to be.

Cluster Gems “ It's not our fault!

” —"Keeping It Together" Sapphire and Ruby were both disturbed to the point of almost unfusing. While Ruby reacted with verbal anger and outrage at what Homeworld had done to their fallen friends, Sapphire reacted with deep sadness and guilt, due to her sense of responsibility for events that occur because she believes she could have seen them with her future vision. From their comments, it can be assumed that they knew the individual members of that particular Cluster.

Trivia According to an interview with Rebecca Sugar, Sapphire did not always have one eye in her pre-show development.[10] Sapphire's dress resembles a dirndl, a traditional women's outfit from Bavaria, Germany. Garnet's three eyes are a combination of one of Ruby's two eyes and Sapphire's one eye, with the third being mixed between the colors of both of their eyes. As seen in "Hit the Diamond", Sapphire has two legs like all singular Gems. This fact was disputed among fans prior to the episode, due to the long skirt of her standard outfit and her predilection for levitation.Sapphire's legs as seen in "Hit the Diamond". Sapphire's legs as seen in "Hit the Diamond".

Before "Hit the Diamond", Sapphire was drawn with legs in artwork by Rebecca Sugar[11] and Hilary Florido.[12] Neither Sapphire nor Ruby has a star or a diamond on their outfits. However, when fused with Ruby, Garnet has a star on her chest. Sapphire's instrument has been confirmed to be "a gentle synth pad".[13] In addition, her instrument was reverse-engineered from Garnet's to be shown in "Keystone Motel". Sapphire and Ruby are both named after varieties of corundum (crystalline aluminum oxide, chemical formula Al2O3). The name "Sapphy" (as in "Laughy Sapphy", Ruby's pet name for Sapphire) is very similar to the word "sapphic". In the most specific sense, "sapphic" means "pertaining to Sappho", the name of a famous female poet in Ancient Greece. The word also can be used to mean "a woman attracted to women", which describes not only the historic Sappho but also both Ruby and Sapphire in their romantic relationship together. However, the word "sapphic" is now relatively archaic in the English language. The more common word with the same definition today is "lesbian", originally used in allusion to Sappho herself because she came from the Greek island of Lesbos whose geographical natives are called "Lesbians". Sapphire's cryokinesis (lowering temperatures) directly opposes Ruby's pyrokinesis (raising temperatures), which could represent hers and Ruby's opposite reactions to stress. In "Keystone Motel", Sapphire's attitude could be a reference to her Thermo-Regulation powers. For instance, she "freezes Ruby out" (literally) and acts both cold and distant toward Ruby and Steven. Out of all the Crystal Gems, Sapphire has personally engaged in combat the least. This may be because Sapphires are made to be fancy, diplomatic court members. According to Matt Burnett, Sapphire probably doesn't have a weapon.[14] In "The Answer" and "Keystone Motel", Sapphire's philosophy toward future vision seemed to be based on Hard Determinism, the idea that fate is always in control and that free will is just an illusion. This is deeply in contrast to Garnet's philosophy of Soft Determinism, the idea that fate grants options in the exercise of free will. In "Made of Honor", Sapphire appears to have a fondness for dolphins, enough so to ask for dolphins to be depicted on her and Ruby's wedding invitations. Her relationship with Ruby is based on Ian Jones-Quartey and Rebecca Sugar's relationship.[15] "Reunited" inverted Sapphire and Ruby's usual appearances, with the masculine appearing Ruby wearing a wedding dress and the feminine Sapphire wearing a Tuxedo. During times of great disharmony in opinion, she and Ruby can talk to each other individually through Garnet, as shown in "Keeping it Together" and "Keystone Motel". The first hint of Sapphire being a fusion along with Ruby was in the episode "Together Breakfast", when Garnet opens the door to the Burning Room. When she does that, two lines — one light red, the other a darker shade of red — coming from two blue and red circles, meet the star and then continue down when they connect, a clear reference to Garnet being a fusion.Garnet fusion hint in "Fusion Cuisine". Garnet fusion hint in "Fusion Cuisine".

Before her introduction, Sapphire had a small cameo in "Fusion Cuisine", when the Gems unfused from Alexandrite; however, she and Ruby quickly fused to keep their existence a secret, intending to reveal their existence during Steven's birthday. In the extended theme song, Sapphire is gracefully holding her hands together, interlocking her fingers. This shows that she is calm, graceful and passionate while Ruby is shown to be cracking or holding her knuckles, a sign of toughness or that she is ready to fight. On the other hand, Ruby seems calmer than expected from her, while Sapphire seems more upbeat than usual, indicating that being Garnet brings balance to both of their personalities. Sapphire possibly has her own room in the Crystal Temple, as the Temple Gate has a blue gemstone and a red gemstone that Garnet opens simultaneously. "Hit the Diamond" marks Sapphire and Ruby's first appearance outside of a StevenBomb. Throughout history, sapphire has symbolized truth, sincerity, and loyalty. Despite the fact that she has been a Crystal Gem for 5,752 years, she is one of the only members (aside from the uncorrupted gems) that have not reformed with a star. Gemstone Image Description NewSapphireGem2 Sapphire's gemstone is located on her right palm, with a royal blue complexion. It is a octahedron, specifically a truncated triangular bipyramid, as such, a triangle's centered in each side. Its overall shape is circular. As seen in "Together Alone" the front and back are symmetrical, and it has a light blue ring around it, which is usually hidden inside her body unless she is regenerating.
