History Recap / StevenUniverseS1E32FusionCuisine

* BigPoofySleeves: Both Connie and Alexandrite, coincidentally.

* BrokenMasquerade: The Gems break their fusion after Pearl's aversion to eating clashes with the other two, pretty much sinking the elaborate lie Connie built up.

* FlatWhat: Connie mimes one when Steven says his parents met on a rollercoaster.

In an effort to win over Connie's parents, Steven convinces the Gems to fuse together and pretend to be his mother. HilarityEnsues. A sneak peak can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuYmSjsoTok here.]]

* ContinuitySnarl: Pearl's dislike of eating in this episode doesn't mesh well with previous episodes, as she showed no such aversion in "Together Breakfast" and she said she liked pie in "Too Many Birthdays".
