* Since her debut, Blue Diamond's grief over losing Pink has always been at the forefront. But for how much she has dearly missed her "little sister", it's been made abundantly clear that ''she'' was a big part of the reason why Pink left in the first place. Even after discovering Pink's "alive" and getting her back (actually Steven), Blue continues to scorn and shame Pink for doing what ''she'' thinks is unacceptable, only continuing the abuse that drove Pink away to begin with. Steven finally calling her out on it is quite cathartic, albeit bittersweet that it is him and not Pink herself telling off her supposed family.
-->'''Steven''': How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?

* Steven singing "Change Your Mind" at the end of the episode. The song flatly states that he doesn't need love or respect from others because he loves and respects himself- but he'll happily accept it from them if they just accept ''him'' as himself.

* The animators get one with the scene of Steven and Pink Steven fusing back together. The animation is '''stunning.''' Why, you may ask? It's done by Disney's own ''James Baxter.''

*** Obsidian's appearance is pure awesome. Firstly, they're [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever freaking huge]]. Secondly, they're essentially [[MagmaMan a living being made of lava]]. Thirdly, their Gem weapon is a sword; not just your average CoolSword, but a [[FlamingSword burning-super-death sword]], with their component's weapons combined as the hilt and handle, and their own generated lava as the blade. Said sword is used to cleave the Diamond Mecha's arms asunder. This deserves special mention, as until now modern Homeworld tech has proven impervious (at least from the outside) to everything the Crystal Gems could throw at it. Obsidian? She ''shreds'' the ''Diamonds personal ships'' like a hot knife through butter. She might only be one Gem higher than Alexandrite, but that one Gem being a ''Diamond'', even the (potentially) weakest Diamond, definitely shows.
*** Obsidian also confirms one piece of Steven Universe lore, that she is the temple fusion and thus the guardian and manifestation of all the Crystal Gems.

** Granted Pink Steven is living proof that Steven is ''not'' Pink or Rose, there's an element to it as though Rose were posthumously calling out White Diamond on 2 levels: (A) she's defending that [[MamaBear her son can be whatever he wants to be]] and ([[MeaningfulEcho Letter Number B]]) she's declaring her freedom to be whoever she wants to be, even [[TheLostLenore Steven's]] [[PosthumousCharacter dead]] [[MissingMom mother]].

* Really, the entire sequence with Pink Steven acts as the climax to a major part of Steven's character arc: his identity issues stemming from Rose. Throughout the series, we've seen Steven deal with the fact that so many people, from the Crystal Gems to Homeworld to the Diamonds, struggle to differentiate between Steven and Rose/Pink. It's no surprise that, eventually, Steven himself starts to wonder if he's not just an extension of Pink Diamond, suppressing her memories. And now White Diamond ''hammers'' him with that ''exact'' fear. And then... Pink Steven emerges to prove, definitively, that ''yes'', Steven is his own person, ''not'' Pink Diamond, ''or'' Rose Quartz. Is it any wonder he can't help but laugh joyously afterwards?

*** An understated moment during Obsidian's hectic climb is right after Connie's knocked from her handhold on Peridot's trash saucer and plummets, only to be caught by Obsidian. What does Connie, little human Connie, do as soon as she sees the gigantic Diamond mecha gear up for another attack and the auxiliary Gems have all been knocked out? Brandish her newly-crafted sword without an ounce of fear and tells Obsidian that ''[[TheRestShallPass SHE'S got this]]''. Foolhardy? Yes. Crazy? Oh definitely. Awesome? ''You're damn right.''

* After going through a huge breakdown following Pink Steven, White calls Steven a child in a fit of rage. Steven's response is, "I ''am'' a child. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What's your excuse?]]" How does White Diamond react to that one quote from Steven? She blushes with embarrassment. And that blush is what it takes to break through her hard shell and show real emotion. First, she thinks something is wrong after seeing her puppets blushing but then she realizes ''she'' is the one blushing and something is wrong with ''her''. After she loses control, White becomes confused and upset, wondering who she even is anymore if she's not perfect. Steven replies that if she lets everyone be themselves, she can also let herself be herself.
