* MonsterInTheMoat: {{Discussed}}. When the Crystal Gems are discussing ways to keep people off the beach, Amethyst proposes building a moat, with herself shapeshifted into a crocodile. The others shoot that idea down -- [[NoodleIncident apparently they've tried it multiple times in the past, but Amethyst never commits to it]].

Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: PlayedForLaughs with [[FreakOut Greg's reaction]] to hearing the events. PlayedForDrama when Steven doesn't want Connie to react the same way, or worse (and more importantly), [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies get hurt if she sticks around him.]]

the fence mention is a Continuity Nod, not a Noodle Incident


** [[OutOfOrder While the "Steven Bomb" event of 2015 that ended season 1 and began season 2 slightly messed up the timing]], Pearl's line about how they used to have a fence is a CallBack to Story for Steven.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently, there have been multiple instances of the Crystal Gems building a moat with Amethyst acting as the crocodile, only to get bored of it. Pearl also mentioned they used to have a fence around the beach.

* DumpedViaTextMessage: Steven ends up just texting Connie "I don't wanna be friends anymore." When she calls, he follows up by saying "I can't be with you anymore, I have a destiny." before hanging up. Connie refuses to accept either, saying she'll only leave Steven alone if she tells him to go away in person. Steven, ultimately, cannot go that far and pours his heart out instead.

* KeepingSecretsSucks: Steven tries to keep the Crystal Gems' most recent activities secret from Connie, but can only manage to avoid telling her by refusing to talk to her at all. When she forces him to talk to her face to face, he breaks down instantly.

* HellIsThatNoise: For Steven, the ringtone he has set for Connie, made worse by her constantly calling to see if he's okay because he's realized how dangerous his life really is and doesn't want her endangered. Even after he decides to ignore her forever for her own protection, the ringtone agonizes him until Connie demands he end the friendship to her face.

* HellIsThatNoise: For Steven, Steven gets increasingly stressed by the ringtone he has set for Connie, made worse by her constantly calling to see if he's okay because he's realized how dangerous his life really is and doesn't want her endangered. Even after he decides to ignore her forever for her own protection, the ringtone agonizes him until Connie demands he end the friendship to her face.

Steven doesn't think love is a negative influence, he thinks he has to exclude people from his life BECAUSE he loves them.


* LoveIsAWeakness: Steven coming to believe this is what drives the episode's conflict.

Connie later does this on purpose when chasing Steven through the wreckage of the Homeworld ship, realizing that she's not catching him anytime soon and that she'll have to force him to confront her.

* RealityEnsues: Steven proves [[NiceGuy he can't find it in his heart]] to [[HeroicSafeMode cut ties from his friends, family]] or [[BreakHerHeartToSaveHer Connie]]. The more he shuts out Connie, the more it emotionally hurts him, until he changes his mind and tells her he ''does'' want to stay friends with her.
