[[caption-width-right:350:"What's ''your'' excuse?"]]

* While it's a serious moment, after getting her HeelRealization, a tearful Yellow Diamond demands that Blue stop using her powers on her, only to learn [[NotMeThisTime Blue]] ''[[NotMeThisTime isn't]]'' [[NotMeThisTime using her powers.]]

'''Newly emerged Amethyst:''' That is the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative first and nicest thing anyone has ever said to me]].
* Ever notice that guffaw-like laugh Steven makes when he's happy? Apparently, from what the flashback tells us, he inherited it from his mom.

* Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, but Pink Diamond willingly faked her own death, orchestrated and fought on both sides of a rebellion for at least a few hundred years before that, and was a general in an all-out war against her sister/mother figures when they tried to avenge her death. Keep in mind, this was all so that she could cosplay her OC/Gemsona, Rose Quartz.

* When Yellow and Blue finally decide to rebel against White Diamond, White attaches her palace to Pink's legs and ship with the command for the other Diamonds to...[[GoToYourRoom go to their room]] like an angry parent who has had it with their unruly children. Considering the fact that Blue and Yellow's ships were destroyed on Earth with Pink's ship being attached to White's torso, there's really no room for the other Diamonds to go to. Blue asks in a confused tone which rooms should they all go to, only to get chided by Yellow not to make her angrier like a kid trying to avoid a harsher punishment.

* When Stevonnie accesses the computer of the abandoned Diamond Tower, one of the files they finds is a selfie Yellow Pearl took of herself and Yellow Diamond.

*** It's even funnier if you know that some less tolerant countries dub Ruby to be male. It's fun to imagine that part of the reason the showrunners put the "male" in a dress and the female in the tux was to screw with those dubbers.

* The "I do's", while ''incredibly'' heartwarming, are funny as well.

* Bill Dewey and Jamie the mailman commiserating over their respective miseries: Dewey still misses his old job as mayor, and Jamie isn't quite as over Garnet as he said he was in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E24IAmMyMom "I Am My Mom"]]. They look around sadly while they mope about the fact that neither of them have dance partners, before deciding to dance with each other.
* Bismuth wore armor to the wedding because it's the nicest thing she had to wear. During the reception, she's seen getting chatted up by Ronaldo, who ''also'' wore armor, to her confusion.

* Greg's plan on [[CallBack dealing with Blue Diamond]]. Made even more hilarious by [[WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain everyone else's reactions]] to said plan.

'''Everyone:''' '''[[BigNo NO]]'''!

* Peridot using her ferrokinesis to (ineffectually) throw soda cans at Blue Diamond... immediately followed by her (slightly more effective) FastballSpecial moment with Bismuth, which causes Peridot to land ''right on Blue Diamond's face''.

* Peridot [[BullyingADragon tries telling off Yellow Diamond]] like she did before in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E28MessageReceived “Message Received”]] and asks if she remembers her. Yellow nonchalantly replies [[ButForMeItWasTuesday “No”]] before [[OneHitKO poofing Peridot in one shot]].

* Yellow's entire demeanor regarding Steven being Pink Diamond. She sounds exactly like a [[AngerBornOfWorry concerned but also angry]] mom.

** The sheer size of her jaw and the fact that she is a Corrupted Gem Monster that makes this reaction all the funnier.

* After Nephrite turns back into Centipeetle, Steven angrily chews Yellow and Blue out for causing her corruption. However, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent while he's doing this]], Nephrite/Centipeetle herself just grabs Steven's bag of Chaaaaps and slips back into the ship.
* Steven starts conducting a plan to look for Pink Diamond's ship... [[FailedASpotCheck while blatantly standing right next to it]]. Even the ''Diamonds'' can't help but silently snark at Steven's obliviousness.

'''Steven:''' ''[walks toward one knee while rambling]'' We've got a lot of desert to cover... it may take a while, and it'll be really super hot. ''[[LuckBasedSearchTechnique [nonchalantly places hand on leg]]]'' But if we don't give up, ''[leg activates and lights up, unbeknownst to Steven]'' I ''know'' we can find it.\\

** While everyone else was looking at Pink Diamond's ship with awe, there's just something funny about seeing a pair of legs with an unusually shaped ass awkwardly wading into the ocean before taking off into space.
** Everyone's faces while this is happening adds to the awkwardness, especially the looks on Bismuth, Pearl, Blue Diamond, and Yellow Diamond. Blue Diamond is actually smiling confidently and proudly, while Yellow looks like she's dying of embarrassment. And then there's Greg happily cheering Steven on.
** It's just inherently funny to see the Diamonds of all beings sitting in their seats preparing for launch with the protagonists. Kind of like watching a family prepare for an awkward roadtrip.

* To everyone who was expecting White Diamond to be a cold, emotionless overlord, her ''real'' personality is certainly this — her tone of voice sounds like a mix of a quirky grandma and [[MyBelovedSmother a passive-aggressive soccer mom]]. She even has a cute AffectionateNickname for Pink Diamond!
** Some have compared her tone to that of [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].
** If you go by the interpretation that White Diamond is essentially Steven's grandmother, there's something strangely funny about how she addresses Steven as Pink Diamond, as though [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything she were a grandmother with dementia obliviously referring to her grandchild as her daughter]].

-->'''Pearl:''' ''[pulling out Steven's hot dog duffel bag from her gem]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things... and they consider ''me'' one of your things.\\

'''Yellow:''' Two and a half words, that's a record.\\
'''Steven:''' ''[annoyed]'' Two and a half words isn't enough!
* Yellow Diamond complaining about [[ParentalFavoritism Steven getting to see White despite Pink's one and only colony failing, while she is more successful in conquering]].
-->'''Steven:''' Maybe you should just... fail?\\

** There's also the fact that Pearl specifically says "[[AccidentalInnuendo massive balls]]".

* Connie in full UnfazedEveryman mode, acting like [[ButForMeItWasTuesday the current situation is nothing exceptional]].
* Apparently, [[SmugSnake Yellow Pearl]] [[TheBore has no concept of fun]].
-->'''Yellow Pearl:''' What is... "fu-un"?
* When Amethyst complains about the Homeworld ball being "dry" (i.e. boring), Yellow Pearl informs her that [[LiteralMinded liquids are not allowed in the ballroom]].

* Steven is understandably frustrated when he astral-projects all the way to Earth and wakes up... in the body of a Watermelon Steven.

* During Steven's flashback to one of Pink's interactions with Blue, Blue is yelling at Pink for releasing a bunch of organics at a ball, losing track of said organics when they escaped, and how the organics could now be anywhere on Homeworld. Cue one of the organics, a rainbow centipede-like creature, popping from behind Blue's hair loops. Blue lets out a girlish shriek, freaks out, and slaps the creature away like someone who found a bug in her dress would. Her facial reactions as she regains her composure betray the serious conversations she's attempting to have with Pink.

* While it's a serious moment, after getting her HeelRealization, a tearful Yellow Diamond demands that Blue stop using her powers on her, only to learn [[NotMeThisTime Blue]] ''[[NotMeThisTime isn't]]'' [[NotMeThisTime using her powers]].
* When Yellow and Blue finally decide to rebel against White Diamond, White attaches her palace to Pink's legs and ship with the command for the other Diamonds to... [[GoToYourRoom go to their room]] like an angry parent who has had it with their unruly children. Considering the fact that Blue and Yellow's ships were destroyed on Earth with Pink's ship being attached to White's torso, there's really no room for the other Diamonds to go to. Blue asks in a confused tone which rooms should they all go to, only to get chided by Yellow not to make her angrier like a kid trying to avoid a harsher punishment.
-->'''Blue Diamond:''' Uh... Which rooms should we go to?\\

* Peridot and Lapis have reformed, with their new outfits [[GoodCostumeSwitch to indicate that they are officially Crystal Gems]], leading to a three-season-long BrickJoke. In the Season 2 finale, the newly-joined Peridot wondered anxiously about whether she'd have to wear a star on her outfit, and where she was going to put said star. It appears she never quite made up her mind, because her new outfit has ''several'' stars all over her body!
** In fact, look closely at how her visor points up now. Against her triangle-shaped hair, [[FridgeBrilliance it forms an outline of a star]].

--->'''Rainbow Quartz:''' Now that's catching two stones... with one bird!

** So would that type of PSA be [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sunstone Sez"]]?

* When White's Mecha knocks Lapis and Bismuth out of the sky, the latter plummets down into the abyss. Peridot tries to catch her with her metal powers, with results in Bismuth abruptly halting her fall just inches from the ground, then falling flat on her face when Peridot lets go.

* When Steven, Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl fuse into [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Obsidian]], we're treated to a low-angle shot and Peridot's excited exclamation of "They're ''huge!''"... immediately followed by a shot showing how insignificantly tiny they still are compared to [[HumongousMecha White Diamond's ship]].

-->'''Bismuth:''' Rose– I mean... Steven.\\

* Bismuth takes the news that Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond were the same person surprisingly well... though she does have to vent a bit by dunking her face in the Burning Room's lava pit and [[CatharticScream yelling her head off]].

* As Steven runs off to get Bismuth, he tells the rest of the Crystal Gems not to drop their soda cans. When the Gems see Bismuth again, they all drop their soda cans... except for Peridot, who thinks that it's some kind of game that she won, and has no idea who Bismuth is.

'''Steven:''' ''[walks toward one knee while rambling]'' We've got a lot of desert to cover... it may take a while, and it'll be really super hot. ''[nonchalantly places hand on leg]'' But if we don't give up, ''[leg activates and lights up, unbeknownst to Steven]'' I ''know'' we can find it.\\

-->'''Garnet:''' ''[with an armful of kittens]'' Anything could happen to these cats!

* When Steven and Topaz try to convince Aquamarine to talk it out rather than fight like they just did, Aquamarine's immediate response is her making [[https://i.redd.it/sjrlg59fhvwy.png an old lady face]] that just says, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

'''Pearl: OOOH, I thought you were holding a long, skinny submarine sandwich!\\

** Jamie's attempt at miming holding a plunger. Pearl can't resist the urge to heckle, pointing out he looks more like he's holding a skinny submarine sandwich.

** Her response isn't throwing more of a fit, either — it's a LuminescentBlush, which spreads to her puppets and even to '''her headship''' (in fact, she almost doesn't realize that [[TomatoInTheMirror they're only blushing because]] ''[[TomatoInTheMirror she's]]'' [[TomatoInTheMirror blushing]]). She's so embarrassed and simultaneously mortified that her powers fail her and all the Gems return to normal. Steven [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath beat White Diamond]] by making her feel like a ''dork''.

** Her response isn't throwing more of a fit, either — it's a LuminescentBlush, which spreads to her puppets and even to '''her headship'''. She's so embarrassed and simultaneously mortified that her powers fail her and all the Gems return to normal. Steven [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath beat White Diamond]] by making her feel like a ''dork''.

** Her response isn't throwing more of a fit, either — it's a LuminescentBlush, presumably due to Steven's influence on her emotions. She's so embarrassed and simultaneously mortified that her powers fail her and all the Gems return to normal. Steven [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath beat White Diamond]] by making her feel like a ''dork''.

'''Right Rutile:''' ''[whispers to the other]'' ''[[IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt What's a zombie]]?''

* Ruby and Sapphire's wedding registry, which contains a scarf, a tennis racket, and ''Elite Beat Meat Mania''.

* The Cluster lets everyone know its on Earth's side by ''giving a thumbs-up''. Then it gets into an ''arm-wrestling match'' with Yellow Diamond's ship.

* There's an establishing shot of Yellow arriving at the drop ship site via the warp pad. The logistics there are unstated —
did they use the pad in the Temple's entrance, inside the house, despite the Diamonds being considerably larger than that house? Or was there a whole trek to reach a warp pad in the open, the Diamonds walking very slowly while the Crystal Gems scuttled at their feet, Yellow complaining about the delay?

--->'''Topaz:''' I always want to tell myself how I'm helping me through this!

-->'''Connie:''' It's so good to talk to you! I was so desperate to see you again [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness I accepted an invitation from]] ''Kevin!''
-->'''Steven:''' Heh, yeah, I can't believe I took his advice. [[AlasPoorScrappy I think he got his heartbroken or something]], [[SincerityMode it's actually kind of sad]].

-->'''Connie:''' It's so good to talk to you! I was so desperate to see you again [[OCCIsSeriousBusiness I accepted an invitation from]] ''Kevin!''

*** Even funnier considering what [[FunPersonified Pink]] [[NiceGirl Diamond]] turned out to be, you ''can'' actually picture her doing this.

-->'''Steven:''' ''(gestures towards the legs of the ship)'' It's just past these pink pyramids.\\
'''Yellow and Blue Diamond:''' ''[[DisapprovingLook (glances at the ship, then glances at Steven)]]''\\
'''Steven:''' ''(walks toward one leg while rambling)'' We've got a lot of desert to cover... it may take a while, and it'll be really super hot. ''(nonchalantly places hand on leg)'' But if we don't give up, ''(leg activates and lights up, unbeknownst to Steven)'' I ''know'' we can find it.\\

* Dr. Maheswaren is alarmed to find herself ''wanting'' Connie to have her sword. And then you remember that sword got destroyed in the last episode, which Connie hastily skips past.
** During their goodbyes to Connie, the Maheswarens look at Pink Diamond's leg ship. The camera cuts to the butt portion of the ship, which sparkles.

* Steven's less-than-graceful take-off with the Legs ship. Apparently, Pink's was no more graceful.

* To everyone who was expecting White Diamond to be a cold, emotionless overlord, her ''real'' personality is certainly this--her tone of voice sounds like a mix of a quirky grandma and [[MyBelovedSmother a passive-aggressive soccer mom]]. She even has a cute AffectionateNickname for Pink Diamond!
** Some have compared her tone to that of [=GLaDOS=].

-->''(aggressive, borderline {{industrial}} sounds)''--\\

-->'''Pearl''': ''(pulling out Steven's hotdog duffel bag from her gem)'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things... and they consider ''me'' one of your things.\\
'''Steven''': ''(cringes awkwardly)'' Yeesh.
* Steven tries to get Yellow Pearl to call him by his name instead of Pink Diamond. The first two efforts result in "Pink Steven" and "Just Steven". Noticing how LiteralMinded she is, he then jokingly asks her to call him "lasagna" (which prompts an annoyed scolding from Pearl, saying he'll break her if he messes with her like that). As he leaves to meet Yellow Diamond, Yellow Pearl bids him farewell with, "Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna".

'''Steven:''' ''(annoyed)'' Two and a half words isn't enough!
* Yellow Diamond complaining about [[ParentalFavoritism Steven getting to see White despite Pink's one and only colony has failed, while she is more successful in conquering]].

'''Yellow:''' (''gives Steven a BlankStare and laughs as if he had just told her the funniest joke she's ever heard'')

* When Pearl says that Pink Diamond used to throw massive balls (which she meant parties), Steven says "She was a juggler?!", Pearl's response?
-->'''Pearl:''' No- Well, yes.

** While Steven's nightmare is terrifying and sad, the first part has Steven hanging out with White Diamond's Pearl (who used to belong to Pink) like close friends. When Yellow checks in on them, Steven and [=WD!Pearl=] pretend to act like nothing's suspect, and laugh mischievously together when she leaves. It's rather endearing, since it evokes memories of a group of friends/ siblings going off to have fun behind their forbidding parents' backs.

* Connie's in full UnfazedEveryman mode, acting like [[ButForMeItWasTuesday the current situation is nothing exceptional]].
* Apparently, [[SmugSnake Yellow Pearl]] [[TheBore has no concept of fun]].
-->'''Yellow Pearl''': What is... "fu-un"?

'''Pearl:''' And ''me!'' (''fuses with Amethyst'')\\
''(A pair of Jades fuse)''\\
'''Jade Fusion:''' And ''me!''\\
''({{Beat}}, during which the Crystal Gems all look on in confusion and Garnet just shrugs as if to say "Sure, why not?")''

* The ending, in a meta sense--Steven wakes up after the above, sees that Connie fell asleep waiting for him and quips "Guess we'll see what happens"... right before the episode ends abruptly. You can practically hear the Crewniverse laughing at us.
** Doubly so since this episode and the next one are ''two'' weeks apart, when the previous Diamond Days episodes were weekly.

* When Steven first tells Yellow Diamond the saying "if every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs," all Yellow says in response is a confused "And that means?"
* While it's a serious moment, after getting her HeelRealization, a tearful Yellow Diamond demands that Blue stop using her powers on her, only to learn [[NotMeThisTime Blue]] ''[[NotMeThisTime isn't]]'' [[NotMeThisTime using her powers.]]

-->'''Blue Diamond''': Uh... Which rooms should we go to?\\
'''Yellow Diamond''': Blue, don't make her any angrier than she already is!

-->'''Steven''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck We're busted]].\\
'''Connie''': Looks like this just turned into a face-off.

--> '''Steven''': Yellow, Blue, did you have a [[IncrediblyLamePun hand]] in this?\\
'''Blue Diamond''': ''(crosses arms before chest)'' No way!\\
'''Yellow Diamond''': White! That wasn't us!\\
'''Blue Diamond''': We swear!
* After Blue and Yellow's ships knock the White and Pink ships on their back, when it cuts back to Blue and Yellow you can see ''Blue is smiling'' but in a way that makes it clear she's both enjoying this and scared shitless, while all Yellow can muster is wondering who did this.
* Peridot and Lapis have reformed, with their new outfits [[GoodCostumeSwitch to indicate that they are officially Crystal Gems]], leading to a three-season-long BrickJoke. In the Season 2 finale, the newly-joined Peridot wondered anxiously about whether she'd have to wear a star on her outfit, and where she was going to put said star. It appears she never quite made up her mind, because her new outfit has ''several'' stars all over her body!

--> '''Peridot''': Unbelievable!\\
'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it!\\
'''Peridot''': Okay!

* When Smoky Quartz forms, it [[DelayedReaction takes them a moment]] to realize it.
-->'''Smoky Quartz:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun Holy smokes!]] I'm Smoky!
** To punctuate this, there's even a sudden pause in their theme playing when they stop to ponder what just happened.
* [[LegacyCharacter Rainbow Quartz 2.0]] makes their debut, and their LargeHam personality, complete with British accent and parasol, is a sight to behold.
** When Smoky unfused, Amethyst shapeshifted into an owl to avoid falling to her death. After catching Ruby and Sapphire, Rainbow jokes about this.
--->'''Rainbow Quartz:''' Now that's catching two stones... with one bird!
* After Pearl and Steven unfuse, Amethyst compliments Pearl's new look, with Pearl being briefly distracted from the fact that she and Steven fused when she notes that she's particularly fond of the jacket.

* A hilarious minor detail: When Obsidian jumps up onto White Diamond's mecha, the shot shows the other Crystal Gems, completely dwarfed beneath her. The ensuing blast of air from the jump has Lapis and Bismuth bracing themselves. However, you can just barely make out that Connie gets knocked over completely.

-->'''Connie''': [[TheDeterminator Heads up, I got this!]]
** Followed soon after as Obsidian summons her component Gems weapons and combines them to form a sword hilt the size of a three-story house that she immediately plunges hilt-first into the steaming, drooling Molten Forge that is her upper mouth and pulling out [[{{BFS}} a fiery sword roughly the size of the freaking Empire State Building.]]

'''Pink Steven:''' ''(wordlessly takes three)''

-->'''Steven:''' ''(playfully)'' I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse?
** Also, when she is pounding at the ground, it shakes... Much to the enjoyment of Steven and Connie. The two children start ''laughing'' while they are jumping with the ground. It's like they're two kids on a carnival ride.
** Her response isn't throwing more of a fit, either - it's a LuminescentBlush, presumably due to Steven's influence on her emotions. She's so embarrassed and simultaneously mortified that her powers fail her and all the Gems return to normal. Steven [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath beat White Diamond]] by making her feel like a ''dork''.
* The Auxiliary gems appear to kick ass... just to find the Crystal Gems laughing.

-->'''Rhodonite:''' No more Diamond Authority! ''(sees Yellow, White, and Blue Diamond standing across the beach from them)'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Welp, we're cracked.]]

* A FreezeFrameBonus. During the concert Lars is shown talking to Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who is a bit of an otaku, is nitpicking the errors in Lars' Captain Harlock like space pirate cape.

* When the Diamonds start the cleansing bath Steven swims over to greet them. Thanks to his grin, the BlushStickers and the well-timed sound of a bubble popping it's almost like he [[UnderwaterFartGag farted in the bathtub]]. [[{{Squick}} In front of his quasi-aunts and grandmother no less]].

** Really, White Diamond's faces throughout the entire ending sequence. You can tell she's not 100% on board with everything yet and just seems to be humoring someone that just force-fed her HumblePie.
* The fact that Yellow Diamond's arm is the one to throw a peace sign as the Diamonds leave the earth. You know the same shrewd businesswoman and militaristic like Yellow just sitting in her ship happily making an informal hand sign to tell her nephew goodbye showing she's NotSoAboveItAll. Also counts as Heartwarming.
