* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The episode starts with Steven placing the corrupted Cherry Quartz into a bathtub filled with the essence of the four Diamonds. There were multiple Gems, both Homeworld and Crystal Gems, that were corrupted thousands of years ago. The Gems uncorrupted at the end of "Change Your Mind" was only a fraction of that amount.
*** The bottles of Diamond essence also reminds us that the Diamonds can't stay on Earth to heal every last gem, given they still have an empire to run. Hence leaving a portion of their power for Steven to use.
** Jasper, while not actively fighting the Crystal Gems anymore, has chosen to [[ReformedButNotTamed isolate herself and train for whatever war comes]]. While uncorrupted, she is a Quartz soldier that spent her entire life fighting. It's only after she and Steven spar that they come to a tolerable understanding.
*** It's also realistic that even though the old social order was destroyed, not everyone is going to be happy about that- Jasper still wants to be a soldier, and doesn't want anything to do with the people who put her in that position.

* EnmityWithAnObject: Jasper considers grass to be "earthlings" [[HumansThroughAlienEyes just like every other life form on the planet]], and so dug up all the grass around her cave due to it "invading her space". She comments on how yanking it all out took forever.



** You know ''Steven'' of all people is fed up with Jasper's attitude when he points out that, while the other Gems at Little Homeschool were corrupted by the Diamonds, Jasper corrupted herself in a [[AllForNothing failed]] attempt to win a fight, against him, and calls her out for stewing in the woods in her own self-pity for years, [[StillFightingTheCivilWar training for a war that's been over for a while]], asking her if she's just going to wait for centuries for someone to give her a purpose again when he's trying exactly that.

Steven attempts to convince a Gem that refuses to accept recent changes.

to:

In Steven's bathroom, he uses Diamond aura potions and his healing spit on the water of his bathtub to heal a corrupted Gem named Cherry Quartz, who is very confused about what happened to her. Steven attempts to convince a Gem is very upfront and tells her that she was corrupted in a Diamond blast and that he had just healed her.

After offering her some history books in both English and Gem Glyph, Steven drives Cherry Quartz in his new car over to Little Homeworld. He tells her who and what has changed in Beach City over the years, despite her not knowing any of the people he's talking about.

They arrive in Little Homeschool, a place where former Homeworld Gems can learn about how to live and be free on Earth. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are seen teaching other Gems about yoga, freedom, and technology respectively.
Amethyst tells her class to do whatever they want for an hour and invites Steven to have lunch with her. She tells Steven that she's content with her place as a teacher in Little Homeschool, seeing as no one except Steven had ever really looked up to her. She is also excited by the fact that so many Gems want to learn how to be Earthlings. Steven, however, is saddened by the fact that one Gem
refuses to accept recent changes.attend the school. Amethyst tells him to forget about her, but Steven says he's still worried about her. He explains that they built Little Homeworld and its school to fix some of the bad things the Diamonds did, and if someone out there is still hurting because of them, he should try to help her. Amethyst tells Steven that he should stop trying to fix everyone, which he reluctantly agrees with.

On the outskirts of Beach City, Steven walks through a forest until he reaches a cave, trying to find the Gem who refuses to attend the school. Before he can walk near it, someone interrupts him. The gem is revealed to be Jasper, who is shown to destroy every living Earthling that invades her space, including the grass.
Steven tries to talk to her, but it quickly escalates into an argument, in which Jasper tells him that "You are not my Diamond" and challenges him to a fight. Out of anger, Steven agrees, which pleasantly surprises her. He throws the first punch, but as the fight progresses Jasper gains the upper hand and taunts Steven by telling him that he is only strong because of the assistance he gets from his friends and that he is nothing without them. Then, Steven's skin turns pink, giving him the strength to break free of Jasper's grasp and win the fight by smashing her through several trees and into the ground. Impressed, Jasper laughs and says she didn't think he had it in him.
Steven apologizes for the outburst, much to Jasper's disgust. Steven then tells her that instead of her learning from him, he could learn from her. He requests that maybe Jasper could teach him seeing as this fight helped him learn a new ability, to which she replies, "Consider that fight back there your first and only lesson". Steven then asks Jasper if he can come back and visit. Before walking back to her base, Jasper tells Steven to do whatever he wants.
The scene then cuts to a montage of Steven making his way back home while repairing the damage from his and Jasper's fight, while explaining to Cherry Quartz that he still has more to learn about himself and notes that life is "a wonderful mystery". Cherry then asks if Steven could sign off on her class schedule. The episode ends with Steven signing his signature on her file.

** Additionally, Jasper throws her own speech at Steven during their fight arguing that Steven has never been able to defeat her on her own as he always relied on his friends for help. Even though he claims that everyone around him needs help, Jasper boasts that the only one who needs help is ''him''.
* ReformedButNotTamed: While Jasper isn't out to kill Steven anymore, [[RedemptionRejection she is the first Gem revealed to have still not been swayed by Steven's philosophy]]. She is still convinced that Steven is a ManipulativeBastard [[BadSamaritan hiding beneath a veneer of compassion]] and has since holed herself up on a small patch of land, preparing for the day when the war restarts.

It's particularly blatant when he starts giving information on what the townies are up to, despite that having no real effect on Cherry whatsoever.
