History Recap / StevenUniverseS2E13ChilleTid

* PowerIncontinence: When Pearl is asleep and dreaming, her image projection power runs involuntarily, showing her embarrassing dream to everyone. Steven's ability to link to Lapis's mind in his dreams is similarly uncontrolled.

* RealityEnsues: Even though the Crystal Gems technically don't ''[[TheNeedless need]]'' to sleep, they can still tire themselves out with continuous activity, with sleep being a viable way to recover.

* AsideGlance: Sitcom!Garnet gives the camera a glance when she tells Steven "Don't do anything I wouldn't do~" followed by a laugh track.

* MeaningfulEcho: Lapis echoes Pearl's "Why won't you let me do this for you?!" from "Sworn to the Sword".

* TalkingInYourSleep: A variant. Pearl unconsciously projects her entire dream for everyone to see.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Steven can connect to Malachite in his dreams. Interestingly, this may be a power unique to ''him'', rather than one inherited from Rose Quartz.

* BookEnds: "Sworn To the Sword" and "Chille Tid" are the first and last episodes of the June 2015 Steven Bomb. And they ''both'' have a Gem emotionally asking "why won't you let me ''do'' this for you?!"

* {{Sitcom}}: Steven's first dream is a parody of this, in where he and the Gems are normal humans - Pearl acts like a substitute mom, Amethyst is a skater girl, and Garnet is a cool neighbor.

* JustifiedTitle: Within the episode, "Chille Tid" is what the sitcom-dream version of Garnet says as a greeting, apparently being her CatchPhrase.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: The episode seems to have no plot importance outside of being an update on what's happening to Malachite but it does introduce Steven's apparent telepathic powers, which become important in "Gem Drill".

* MadnessMantra: When Jasper sees Steven, she mutters "YOU. YOU. YOU. YOU. YOU!" before Lapis regains control.

* MundaneUtility: Garnet shapeshits a life jacket.

-->'''Lapis Lazuli:''' [[ThatWomanIsDead I'm not Lapis anymore]]. [[SplitPersonalityMerge We're ... Malachite now]].

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Lapis and Jasper are constantly fighting for dominance in Malachite, depicted as the dominant one chained to the surface of a malachite floor, pulled underneath when suppressed to be replaced by the other. Ultimately they both lose, as Jasper and Lapis are both [[SplitPersonalityMerge subsumed by Malachite.]]

* SplitPersonalityMerge: Just like with Sugilite, the Malachite persona seems to be gaining strength over Lapis and Jasper. It's not clear to what extent this is actually ''true'', as opposed to something Lapis is just saying to discourage Steven from trying to find her.

It's evening -- Pearl and Amethyst are sitting together on an inflatable raft out at sea so far that land isn't visible. Amethyst is dangling Steven under the water upside-down by his ankles. She's bored and has forgotten if one wiggle or two means she should pull Steven up. Pearl is antsy and unhappy, feeling like they've spent too much time out on the water, and complains of the "life diaper" they all must wear.

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Lapis and Jasper are constantly fighting for dominance in Malachite, depicted as the dominant one chained to the surface of a malachite floor, pulled underneath when suppressed to be replaced by the other. Ultimately [[LossOfIdentity they both lose]], as Jasper is still suppressed when Lapis [[ThatWomanIsDead gives up her identity under the collective Malachite]].

** The title art for the episode (as seen above) parodies DisneyThemeParks Splash Mountain ride. More specifically, it parodies the trend of people setting up funny scenarios for the picture that the ride takes of you right before the big drop (just look up "funny Splash Mountain pictures").
