New episode!

Added DiffLines:

* Ambiguous Situation: How much the "[[ShowWithinAShow Safety Zone starring Sunstone]]" show exists in-universe, if at all, is unclear.


Added DiffLines:

* ShowWithinAShow: The GainaxEnding has "Safety Zone starring Sunstone" appear Sunstone tells the audience not to make the same mistake Steven did, though Pearl is confused by who Sunstone is talking to, and it's unclear how much of the episode ''actually'' happened, how much was in the ShowWithinAShow, and how much the show exists in-universe.

* BadBadActing: After Steven collapses from exhaustion, Garnet gives a drawn out, DullSurprise-sounding BigNo while looking upward.



* CallBack: The TV shows the Little Homeschool commercial Steven was shooting in the previous episode.

* MagicMusic: Onion plays a blade of grass like a flute, letting him lead several gems around like the ''Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin'', even off a cliff. [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane It presumably isn't actually magic]], but given how much of the episode possibly never happen, it may as well be.

** One episode after Greg cuts off his hair, Onion has come into possession of a bag of hair....



* ShoutOut: Rainbow's resemblance to MaryPoppins is played up; their song references "A Spoonful of Sugar".



* VerySpecialEpisode: {{Parodied|Trope}} to the point of referencing it in the very title. After Steven runs himself ragged trying to be in too many places at once and causes a disaster, it turns out that the entire episode is a PSA hosted by Sunset to explore the dangers of poor time management. However, the entire scenario is PlayedForLaughs to the brim.

Wrong trope entirely. A Fawlty Towers Plot is about a snowballing lie; Steven doesn't really tell any major lies in this episode.


* FawltyTowersPlot: The classic setup of scheduling multiple obligations at the same time gets an extra twist where the same person is half of different fusions.


Added DiffLines:

* TwoTimerDate: The classic setup of scheduling multiple obligations at the same time gets an extra twist where the same person is half of different fusions, and the other half of each fusion is incapable of properly handling the situations alone. That said, it varies from the usual format in that Steven is entirely honest with both Pearl and Garnet about his other obligations, though he still tries to do both.

* GainaxEnding: The episode's climax is that Onion accidentally leads some Gems off a cliff. Garnet asks Steven to fuse with her to save them, but then Pearl insists Steven fuse with her. Then Amethyst shows up and says she needs Steven because [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall she hasn't seen him in eleven minutes]]. Steven then collapses from exhaustion and says he shouldn't have overbooked himself, causing Garnet to give a BigNo...but in a way filled with DullSurprise and BadBadActing. We then cut to Sunstone watching the sequence on a television screen, who tells the audience not to make the same mistake Steven did. Sunstone then makes more public service announcements (showing the Gems are alright, and prompting Pearl to ask who Sunstone is talking to) before the episode ends with the title "Safety Zone starring Sunstone". It is unclear how much of the episode actually happened in-universe, how much was part of a ShowWithinAShow, and ''whether said ShowWithinAShow actually exists in-universe''.
