The newest StevenBomb kicks off with an emotional beginning.
ThisSteven Universereview contains spoilers.
Steven and Gregs discussion at the start of the episode returns the series to its theme of moving on.
The characters, even Rose as this episode revealed, want to move on from the past.
Weve only seen little bits of it and lots of the aftermath.
Now however, when Steven shows off the image of the Palanquin , Garnet freaks out.
She refuses to let Steven know what it means or what it has to do with Rose.
Why should this, unlike all the other revelations, be kept from Steven?
Did Rose do something so horrible?

Yes, we know she shattered Pink Diamond.
Garnet knows Steven is aware of this.
So what could it be?
Did she have some hand in the invasion of Earth?
Was Pink Diamond a close friend?
A lover, perhaps?
That would certainly cause a lot of scandal, a diamond in love with a soldier like Rose.
Stevens anger over this lack of information is understandable.
Hes not having it.
I love that Andy has become a recurring character and I hope we see more of him.
If you want to read way too far into this, it makes no sense.
Is someone in Korea making a show about Stevens life?
How do they know all about his life?
The episode up to this point was your standardSteven Universe.
Some tough emotions, good set up, and even some funny jokes.
The sequence when Steven and Greg discover Blue Diamond?
That kicked the episode into a beautifully haunting territory.
Blue Diamond is on Earth, for how long we dont know, and seemingly mourning Pink Diamond.
Blue Diamonds design is gorgeous and one that instantly stands out from the rest of the characters.
Blue Diamond also has a Pearl along with her that confirms a few theories about Pearls as a whole.
Think back to when we saw Yellow Diamond and just how stuck up Yellow Diamonds Pearl was.
She was dismissive just like her Diamond.
Here, Blue Diamonds Pearl is mournful and somber, just like her Diamond.
Is this a clue to Roses relationship with Pink Diamond?
Well wait and see.
Blue Diamond mentions a geo-weapon on the planet that will cause its demise.
A weapon not even Peridot knew about?
Steven tries to save him with no luck.
Now, Steven and the others will have to go to space.
Does that mean the Galaxy Warp will finally be reactivated?
This is a great start to what looks like a five-part adventure.
Will his relationship with the Gems be the same after this adventure?
How will worldview change after learning what happened to Rose and Pink Diamond?
Stay tuned as our next review is coming soon!
Stray Thoughts
Steven Universecontinues to triumph with its low key jokes.
They needed milk for their cereal planet.
Also prophetic, considering what happened to Greg at episodes end.
