History Recap / StevenUniverseS1E49JailBreak

** Garnet herself also qualifies. When Jasper uses her all-out rushing attack against Garnet, Garnet blocks, but the momentum takes both of them through the floor and several layers of the ship's structural material into the engine room. After ''being used as a battering ram to punch a hole halfway through the ship'', she gets up, dusts herself off, and continues fighting just as if that hadn't happened.

* ShoutOut: Jasper in her un-armored form looks like an homage to The Misfits from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}''.

* BlackComedy: As everyone stares in slack jawed horror after witnessing Lapis drag herself and Jasper into the ocean, Garnet makes a quip on how ill suited the two are.

* BaitAndSwitch: It seems like Lapis turned on the Crystal Gems by fusing with Jasper. In fact, she did it to make sure Jasper wouldn't have the strength to resist her, dragging them both to the bottom of the ocean to be imprisoned forever.

* FaceFramedInShadow: To show how much Lapis has touched the bottom of the DespairEventHorizon.

'''Warning: this episode is one of the biggest {{Wham Episode}}s of our time. All spoilers on this page are unmarked. Proceed at your own risk.'''

* RedOniBlueOni: Ruby and Sapphire.

* CardboardPrison: Steven escapes from his prison cell within a minute of waking up, since the ForceFieldDoor of the cell is made to destabilize the physical forms of gems. Steven, a half-gem with an organic body, can walk straight through with the only effects being yellow TronLines on his body and small electric shocks.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Steven remembers Garnet's gems falling to the ground, they are bright red and blue, instead of the deep reddish purple of Garnet.

* ClippedWingAngel: Jasper fusing with Lapis to become Malachite backfires on her when Lapis hijacks the fusion and uses it to imprison her at the bottom of the ocean.

* CardboardPrison: Steven is able to walk right through the ForceFieldDoor to his cell, since the forcefield is designed to disrupt the physical forms of Gems. Since Steven's body is organic, all it does is give him a light shocking sensation. The same goes for the gem disruptor, [[NoSell which he grabs the business end of without much difficulty]].

* ExactWords: Well, more like Exact ''Lack of'' Words, but when Jasper said Lapis just needs to say "yes" in agreement for fusing to get revenge on the Crystal Gems, Lapis only offers her hand. She agreed to fuse, but for her own reasons.

* SettleItWithoutWeapons: Garnet challenges Jasper to "come at me without any of your fancy tools", but Jasper continues trying to use the Gem destabilizer until Garnet breaks it.

* BlindingBangs: Sapphire's hair covers her eye.

Steven wakes to beautiful, distant, ethereal singing and as he calls for the other Gems, is stricken breathless by the harsh memory of what happened to Garnet. He immediately launches into action, finding that the forcefield imprisoning him isn't much of an obstacle. He begins looking for the other Gems, and stumbles across another prisoner: a tiny red gem no taller than Steven himself. Steven asks if she needs help. She freaks out and turns away, hiding her face from him... before it dawns on her that he's out. She asks how, and he demonstrates. On hearing the singing again, she immediately asks to be let out because she must! find! Sapphire! Even as Steven tries to learn the new Gem's name and who Sapphire is, the little red Gem is clearly panicked without Sapphire, and once safely out of her cell, begins racing up and down the halls screaming for Sapphire, who has paused in her singing.

* SettleItWithoutWeapons: Garnet challenges Jasper to "come at me without any of your fancy tools", but Jasper continues trying to use the Gem destabilizer until Garnet breaks it.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Garnet challenges Jasper to this, but it's only when Garnet breaks her gem destablizer that she's forced to.

* LovableCoward: Lapis spends most of the episode in her cell, refusing to help, but she comes through in the end.

* CameBackStrong: Garnet after Ruby and Sapphire re-fuse.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Steven's very existence as a half-gem allows him to escape his prison and free everyone else, since all of the technology is purely anti-gem.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Gem Fusion has often been a subtle sexual/intimate reference. So when Jasper tries to force Lapis into fusing with her, even though the other Gem seems uncomfortable with it, it paints a nasty reference to an abusive relationship and/or sexual harassment.
