* Steven tries to reassure the other Crystal Gems that [[BlatantLies everything is fine]] and they should [[BadLiar "come back in a few hours for no reason whatsoever"]]...when the Gems can ''see'' him [[InstantlyProvenWrong fighting Cactus Steven]][[ImplausibleDeniability through the window.]]

* Steven tries to reassure the other Crystal Gems that [[BlatantLies everything is fine]] and they should [[BadLiar "come back in a few hours for no reason whatsoever"]]...when the Gems can ''see'' him [[ImplausibleDeniability fighting Cactus Steven through the window.]]

* How did Connie find out Steven was not okay? He had accidentally sent her to her phone a projection of him squatting several times while repeatedly saying "Steven's here to help!"

* How did Connie find out Steven was not okay? He had accidentally sent her to her phone a projection of him squatting several times while repeatedly saying "Steven is okay!"

* How did Connie find out Steven was not okay? He had accidentally sent her a projection of him squatting several times while repeatedly saying "Steven is okay!"

* Rainbow Quartz 2.0's chipper, Mary Poppins-esque cleanup song going steadily more out of control as he becomes increasingly creeped out by Onion's behavior.
-->'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0:''' Next time wash your dishes! ''(An incredibly creepy doll of Steven waves from behind the shelf)'' Can you...please explain what this is? Alright...''(Onion blows repeated kisses)'' Thank you for the kisses. Okay, I'm gonna need like...five minutes.

* Rainbow Quartz 2.0 making Onion slide up the banister to send him back to his room...only for Onion to run back downstairs so they could do it again. [[OverlyLongGag And again, and again...]]

'''Steven:''' NEVERMIND! (''runs off while Pearl screams hysterically'')

** The way Pearl says "Steven you were never like this! You were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you!" makes it sound as though [[BlackComedy she fully expects Onion to kill her.]]

* Steven's [[SanitySlippage suffering]] is, for once, PlayedForLaughs, and it's hilarious.
-->'''Garnet:''' [[FiveSecondForeshadowing You shouldn't have brought him [Onion] here, Steven.]]
-->'''Steven:''' No, no, no, it's fine. I- It's good. No one needs safety training more than Onion. [[MilkingTheGiantCow I'm combining all my responsibilities]] [[MadEye into]] ''[[MadEye one]]'' [[MadEye responsibility.]] [[TemptingFate It's- it's brilliant.]] [[MadnessMantra It's fine. I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. It's fine. I'm fine.]]
* It seems that for recently uncorrupted Gems, grasswhistles enable them to be led around like the rats after the Pied Piper complete with dilated pupils.
* Steven spends the entire episode getting more and more stressed trying to run back and forth fusing with Pearl and Garnet respectively. Near the end when Pearl and Garnet are literally fighting over who Steven needs to fuse with to save the Little Homeschool Gems when they fall off a cliff, Pearl ''physically pulls Steven out from Sunstone'' to fuse with him. Then Amethyst comes running in.

* Holly complains that all the Diamonds ever talk about anymore is Steven, and only then notices said Steven standing [[RightBehindMe right next to her]]. She then makes the diamond salute and slides away, obviously mortified.

* Pink Pearl shows off a ribbon wand given to her by Pink Diamond. Our Pearl condescendingly remarks about the former being overly attached to such a keepsake... [[HypocriticalHumor while trying to pry the wand out Pink Pearl's hand.]]

* When they start infighting, Aquamarine and Eyeball take on each other like a pair of toddlers in the playground, exchanging harmless hits and sand throws and even prompting Steven to step in as the grownup in the room. This also happens to prove [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E1StuckTogether Steven was right]]; Aquamarine ''is'' weak (without her wand at least).

* When the Gems catch Bluebird trying to kill Steven, Bluebird tries to play it off by (badly) hiding the sword behind her back and acting innocent. Without a word, [[NoKillLikeOverkill the Gems fuse into Alexandrite]], who huffs angrily before smushing Bluebird into the sand with one hand.
* Greg mourning his ''hair'', which [[TraumaticHaircut he had to cut off to escape from Bluebird]].
** Steven also treats it like SeriousBusiness; seeing his dad's hair get cut enrages him enough for him to ''go into [[SuperForm Pink Steven]] form''. He also calls Greg '[[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Father]]'.

-->'''Eyeball:''' [[BigStupidDoodooHead YOU SMELL!]] ''(they disappear with ATwinkleInTheSky, [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Team Rocket]]-style)''

-->'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0:''' Next time wash your dishes! ''(An incredibly creepy doll of Steven waves from behind the shelf)'' Can you...please explain what this is? Alright... ''(Onion blows repeated kisses)'' Thank you for the kisses. Okay, I'm gonna need like... five minutes.

* Rainbow Quartz 2.0 making Onion slide up the banister to send him back to his room... only for Onion to run back downstairs so they could do it again. [[OverlyLongGag And again, and again...]]

** In general, both Pearl and Garnet display amusing [[IdiotBall levels of incompetence]] as the episode goes on, with the latter acting as if the [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E39FutureVision lesson about future paranoia]] [[AesopAmnesia never happened]]. This should be a hint [[OutOfCharacterAlert something's off.]]
** Garnet's first comment to Steven when he arrives at the beach house is hilarious just because it's [[TheStoic Garnet saying it]].

** The way Pearl says "Steven you were never like this! You were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you!" makes it sound as though [[BlackComedy she fully expects Onion to kill her]].
* Onion's creepy wall writings include "I <3 Rainbow", "Best Friends Forever" and [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg "Steven is cool too"]].

-->'''Garnet:''' [[FiveSecondForeshadowing You shouldn't have brought [Onion] here, Steven]].
-->'''Steven:''' No, no, no, it's fine. I- It's good. No one needs safety training more than Onion. [[MilkingTheGiantCow I'm combining all my responsibilities]] [[MadEye into]] ''[[MadEye one]]'' [[MadEye responsibility]]. [[TemptingFate It's- it's brilliant.]] [[MadnessMantra It's fine. I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. It's fine. I'm fine.]]

* After Steven faints from exhaustion, [[TheStoic Garnet]] does a BigNO... in the most [[DullSurprise disinterested way possible]].
** The whole scene is set up to look like a typical VerySpecialEpisode or PSA where the protagonist dies because of their bad life choices and their loved ones mourn them, only here, Steven 'dies' [[SpoofAesop because he overbooked his schedule]].
* [[GainaxEnding The ending]], where the entire episode is revealed to be [[MindScrew yet another PSA starring Sunstone]].

** There's also the fact that Rainbow 2.0 and Sunstone, two of the rarest fusions in a series whose fans rabidly clamor for the appearance of any fusion, are the main characters for this episode, ''[[TrollingCreator and they're relegated to what amounts]] [[TakeThatAudience to non-canonical, fourth-wall breaking jokes]]''.
** Sunstone not only appears in what looks to be the set of the [[WebAnimation/DoveSelfEsteemProjectXStevenUniverse Dove Self-Esteem Project series]], but there's a picture of director Lamar Abrams posing with Peridot in the corner. What makes this ''truly'' a MindScrew is that Peridot, one of the smallest, if not ''the'' smallest Crystal Gem, ''is bigger than Lamar''.

* Lapis saying that the other Lapises aren't "[[GoodIsNotNice nice like her]]". Steven's response is just "Umm..." and Lapis [[HeroicSelfDeprecation agrees]].
* Furthermore, Lapis says that [[MiseryBuildsCharacter "torture" helped her become who she is now]], so she suggests ''torturing them'' to get them to do a HeelFaceTurn.

* When Cactus Steven [[NotInFrontOfTheParrot starts repeating Steven's issues with the Gems]], Amethyst wants to know why it's being so "oddly specific" towards them.

* Steven tries to reassure the other Crystal Gems that [[BlatantLies everything is fine]] and they should [[BadLiar "come back in a few hours for no reason whatsoever"]]... when the Gems can ''see'' him [[InstantlyProvenWrong fighting Cactus Steven through the window]].

* While Steven's nightmare in the opening is [[NightmareFuel not funny]] [[TearJerker as a whole]], there's something amusing in the fact that Onion is randomly shown partying alongside the Crystal Gems and the Off-Colors, implying that Steven has that high an opinion of the little creep.
* Steven wondering if he'll need a TinfoilHat to keep his dreams from projecting to the TV.
* One of the first ideas Steven comes up with as an attempt to fix the Camp Pining Hearts reboot is to add a new character. Said new character is a blatant SelfInsert named Stefan, [[HerCodenameWasMarySue a buff adult version of himself who is popular and everyone accepts his help]]. What's more, about half of Stefan's interactions with the cast of Camp Pining Hearts are flirty/romantic.

* Steven's dreams being, well, [[RealDreamsAreWeirder dreams]], his attempts at making what is effectively a FixFic for the Camp Pining Hearts reboot keep getting interrupted by weird things, like Blue Diamond as a dolphin and Yellow Diamond as a giant pineapple, or Rodrigo randomly being replaced by Dogcopter. Or Rodrigo turning into the Crystal Gems with Dogcopter's [[BuffySpeak rotor-thingy]] on their backs.
** Steven's dreams also always end at almost the same point, before the scenes he's imagining reach any satisfactory resolution. [[TruthInTelevision Which is basically how everyone's dreams always end]].

* In the end, Steven and Peridot are able to find enjoyment in the ''Camp Pining Hearts'' reboot by [[{{MST}} watching it to make fun of it]]. Also, from what little we see, [[StylisticSuck it really is as bad as they say it is]]; Jasmine is shown getting self-righteously angry at Rodrigo for [[FelonyMisdemeanor cheating at cards]], ''[[HypocriticalHumor right after burying a body]]''.

** Pearl's idea of an ice-breaking gift for interacting with humans? Handing out rolls of toilet paper. She notes with delight that humans [[ToiletPaperPrank commonly use it for acts of vandalism]].
** Pearl [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything unbuttoning Bismuth's shirt to reveal her gem]]. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Must've been the censor's day off]]...

** [[NoSocialSkills Pearl]]: [[TheSocialExpert Social Butterfly]].

* Steven's incredibly awkward attempts to bond with Connie's human friends flies straight into CringeComedy, from [[TooMuchInformation bringing up the time White Diamond took his Gem in "Change Your Mind"]] to telling one kid [[{{Understatement}} he knows how it feels to get stressed out by his mother's side of the family]].
* After Steven patches things up with Connie, he helps out Bismuth with her own romantic endeavors by having Sour Cream play a song she and Pearl can dance to. [[BrickJoke It's the Cam's Camshafts jingle]].

* One of the ways Ruby uses to encourage Steven to propose to Connie? He can earn a Scout Proposal Badge. Which begs the question of [[FridgeLogic who the heck was supposed to earn that badge]]?!

* As in-character as it is, there's something funny about Sapphire responding to Steven's dramatic "[[SayMyName SAPPHIRE!]]" shout with a casual "right on time".

-->"Do it, Steven. Do it. Do it! [[HotBlooded DO IT!]]"

* After his failed attempt to propose to Connie, Steven commiserates with Garnet and tries to [[ComfortFood drown his sorrows in cake]].

* While Garnet and Pearl's X-rays just show their Gems, Amethyst's also shows the stuff she's eaten, including a sub sandwich and [[ExtremeOmnivore some other junk]].
* When asked if he's gone through any trauma, Steven begins with the time [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E1GemGlow his favorite cookie was discontinued]].

* The album that inspired Greg to become Mr. Universe? [[Music/TheRiseAndFallOfZiggyStardustAndTheSpidersFromMars Kerry Moonbeam]].

* Jasper's attitude to earthlings is pretty... consistent.

* When Steven kisses a tree to heal it, Jasper is disgusted by this and freaks out when she sees the grass growing back too and immediately begins tearing it out.

** Once again, Jasper's greatest concern/enemy is the [[EnmityWithAnObject grass]].

* The smug look on Jasper's face when Steven tells the Gems they can't follow him. Which disappears when Steven tells her the same.

-->"I can't believe that half the Homeworld's gonna vote for that Diamond's stooge Zircon! Now, ''Zircon'' -- that's a face you can trust!"

* Steven takes issue with Blue Diamond's new power, luckily Blue's change in attitude and her being somewhat [[LiteralMinded literal-minded]] makes her respond to Steven in a way that is as funny as it is blunt with the goofiest grin possible.

** While Spinel always acted [[LaughablyEvil goofy]], White so far has always been serious (even in ''The Movie'' when she was TheComicallySerious). Seeing the all-powerful god-queen of Gemkind acting like a clown is, by itself, hilairous.
* While Steven was talking with White, Spinel decided to file her nails--or rather, stretch one finger out and [[WhiteGloves pretend she had nails to file]].

* Steven tries to use [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog not wanting to wake the Gems]] as an excuse to hang up on Connie when she expresses concern over his condition, which he's in denial about... only for Connie to point out that ''[[TheSleepless the Gems don't need to sleep]]'' before he hangs up on her.

* Amethyst having a YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction when the Diamonds show up... to return Steven's sandal.

* You might get the sinking suspicion that Monster Steven's form was influenced by the whole '[[MemeticMutation Steven's Neck]]' thing, like the Crewniverse went "You want Steven to have a neck?! [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor We'll GIVE you neck!]]"

* The beginning of the episode has Steven doing [[CallBack the silly little workout routine]] from [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E39FutureVision "Future Vision"]]. And just like that episode, the radio gets wrecked (by Lion this time).
* In a final reminder that Steven's Earth isn't ''quite'' the same as ours, his talk with Connie has him mention visiting "all 39 states."

* The Gems [[CallBack break out singing the Cookie Cat jingle]].

'''Garnet:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick ... He left his family behind.]]

** The music abruptly stopping when Garnet realizes what's going on just in time for the line "he left his family behind."

** Steven gives Peridot one of his old pink shirts as a gift... and she has to use it as a tissue to blow her nose because she's so overcome with emotion.

* Jasper breaks through a wall to follow Steven, leaving an ImpactSilhouette. When Steven tells her to stay, she goes back through the same wall, [[ThereWasADoor but makes a second hole]].

* Steven lets Greg stay in his house while he's gone. Greg, who's been sleeping in his van almost every night for decades, finds [[MundaneLuxury Steven's bed so luxurious that he has trouble getting up]].

* Garnet gives Steven one last piece of future vision before he leaves... about a minor car problem he should get checked out before he gets to the desert. [[NoodleIncident It makes one wonder what she saw.]]

* When Steven finally leaves, he gets miffed that the Gems didn't seem even the least bit upset. When he comes back to confront them about it, that's when the Gems finally break down. Especially hilarious is Garnet remaining her composure while tears are ''spraying out'' behind her shades like sprinklers.

** Pearl is crying so hard that she can’t talk, forcing Garnet to speak for her.

-->'''Pearl:''' Ohhhhh...! He's a frozen treat with an all-new taste!
-->'''Amethyst:''' 'Cuz he came to this planet from outer space!
-->'''Garnet:''' A refugee of an interstellar war!
-->'''Pearl:''' But now he's at your local grocery store!
-->'''Amethyst:''' Cookie Cat!
-->'''Pearl:''' He's a pet for your tummy!
-->'''Amethyst:''' Cookie Cat!
-->'''Pearl:''' He's super-duper yummy!
-->'''Amethyst:''' Cookie Cat!
-->'''Garnet:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick ... He left his family behind.]]

-->'''Peridot:''' Where am I gonna find another Steven as good as ''you'', huh? I like ''this one'' so much!

* An episode after some gets an ImportantHaircut, and Onion has somehow gotten possession of a bag of hair.

* Garnet gives Steven one last piece of future vision before he leaves... about a minor car problem. [[NoodleIncident It makes one wonder what she saw.]]

** After Smoky has saved Andy and Snowflake, she awkwardly cracks a joke and then asks seriously if they're okay. Andy and Snowflake can only [[ThousandYardStare nod mutely.]]

* After Steven patches things up with Connie, he helps out Bismuth with her own romantic endeavors by having Sour Cream play a song she and Pearl can dance to. [[BrickJoke Its the Cam's Camshafts jingle]].

-->'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0:''' Next time wash your dishes! ''(An incredibly creepy doll of Steven waves from behind the shelf)'' Can you...please explain what this is? Alright... ''(Onion blows repeated kisses)'' Thank you for the kisses. Okay, I'm gonna need like...five minutes.

* Steven spends the entire episode getting more and more stressed trying to run back and forth fusing with Pearl and Garnet respectively. Near the end when Pearl and Garnet are literally fighting over who he needs to fuse with to solve the situation, Pearl ''physically pulls Steven out from Sunstone'' to fuse with him, then Amethyst comes running in.

[[caption-width-right:350:Steven Tag is serious business]]

* When the plant Stevens interrupt what is implied to be a therapy session, Garnet nonchalantly says "see you next week" before throwing her stuff to the side and summoning her gauntlets.
** Then the plant Stevens surround her and do nothing but parrot "Steven's here to help". She is understandably confused.

-->'''Garnet:''' Pearl agrees.
* Garnet gives Steven one last piece of future vision before he leaves... About a minor car problem. [[NoodleIncident It makes one wonder what she saw.]]

-> '''Stefan:''' Well, a little birdy told me that downstream, there's an island full of rare specimens.

-->'''Lapis:''' [[MundaneMadeAwesome It even has watercolors??]]

** Steven also treats it like SeriousBusiness; seeing his dad's hair get cut enrages him enough for him to ''go into [[SuperForm Pink Steven]] form''.

** Made funnier when the plant Stevens surround her and do nothing but parrot "Steven's here to help". She is understandably confused.

* You might get the sinking suspicion that Monster Steven's form was influenced by the whole '[[MemeticMutation Steven's Neck]]' thing, like the Crewniverse went "You want Steven to have a neck?! We'll GIVE you neck!"
