The weakest entry of the newest StevenBomb at least has plenty of Ruby.
ThisSteven Universereview contains spoilers.
A lot of things are reconfirmed that we already knew without much new context added.
Even in episodes that arent about Steven, hes still a major character.
Still though, we do get some great touches.
Here we see what our Amethyst would have looked like had she emerged from the Kindergarten under normal circumstances.
Its a little detail that we sadly dont get to dwell more on with so much needing to happen.
Pearls reaction to being treated as just any old Pearl was perfect.
Ruby, as always, can barely contain herself.
Ruby having to act subservient and then attempting to bust pop launch the door display Yis flawless comedic chops.
If you havent checked her out in We Bare Bears as Chloe, rectify that immediately.
The best part of the episode is learning the Gems see Blue Diamond as merciful.
Ruby especially cant accept that, especially with how she treated Sapphire back in The Answer.
There are two possible explanations for this belief by Holly.
The loss of Pink Diamond could have changed her outlook on Gems and humans.
Imagine that, SHES the nice one.
Did Blue Diamond keep the Zoo alive to soothe a guilty conscious?
What Gem Heist really needed was a Gem heist.
We needed more moments like Steven referring to Pearl as the hacker.
Is the episode bad?
Not at all and I totally get the need to take a moment between these big reveals.
Ill just find my dad without pants does help redeem the episode a bit though.
