History Recap / StevenUniverseS1E20CoachSteven

* TrainingFromHell: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Steven tries to work out extra-hard so he can be stronger, but [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome instead he wears himself out, and the next day he's too exhausted and sore to stand up]].

Garnet begins the FusionDance with Amethyst. It’s a lot funkier (and a bit more suggestive) than the one Pearl and Amethyst did, so Pearl covers Steven’s eyes. But of course, he wants to see.

-->'''Garnet:''' It’s hurting television.

-->'''Garnet:''' We don’t need to be careful. We just need to be huge.

* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: During Pearl's song:
-->''And can't you see that she's out of control and over-zealous?''\\
''I'm telling you for your own good, and not because I'm--''\\
(Pearl blushes, then moves on to the next line of the song)

* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: Pearl's FreudianSlip also leads her to end one line of her song with no words.

Amethyst responds to this suggestion with enthusiastic glee, but Pearl hedges, saying that Garnet and Amethyst can be a little unstable when they fuse. She suggests Garnet fuse with her instead, indicating they should be careful.

Garnet begins the FusionDance with Amethyst. It’s a lot more funky (and a bit more suggestive) than the one Pearl and Amethyst did, so Pearl covers Steven’s eyes. But of course he wants to see.

The dance completes, and in a burst of Gem magic, Sugilite appears — she’s enormous, buff, and scary — with sharp pointed teeth. And she’s very happy to be back. She shows off a little for Steven, combining Amethyhst’s thorn whip and Garnet’s battle gauntlets into a two-fisted wrecking ball. Sugilite turns her attention to wrecking the crystal towers, disregarding the concerns voiced by Pearl. Crystal chunks begin flying behind Sugilite. When one hits Steven and knocks him down, Pearl decides enough is enough. She picks up the youngest gem and warps home with him (just in time, as the next chunk is huge and lands on the warp pad, destroying it).

Steven tries to get Pearl interested in the idea. She finds it amusing until Steven mentions he wants to be like Sugilite, at which point her smile fades. As Steven, Greg, Sadie and Lars begin to work out on Greg’s pitifully makeshift equipment, Pearl begins tidying up the house and sings of her dismay that Steven looks up to Sugilite and the brute strength she displays; and emphasizing that there's more than one way to be strong, even though Steven refers to brute strength as "the real way". Steven hears part of it, where Pearl sings of wanting to be an inspiration, and uses that to pump up his father and friends.

* MamaBear: Pearl wasn't keen on Garnet and Amethyst fusing from the get go, but it's Sugilite's recklessness putting Steven's safety in danger that ends up being the final straw to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere make her leave]].
