History Recap / StevenUniverseS4E19RoomForRuby

** When Lapis demonstrates rain to Navy, she gleefully compares it to the sky crying. In the end, she shows a [[BitchInSheepsClothing darker side]].

* RealityEnsues: Steven and the Crystal Gems have tricked the Rubies, sent them into the empty void of space, and stolen their ship, so of course Navy wouldn't want to become friends with the rebels who caused her misery and separated her from her crew.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: Lapis is revealed by Peridot to love sleeping.

** Anyone who's played space simulator games (like ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'') knows how hard it is to land in a specific spot- a lot of planning and forethought has to go into it. This wasn't random, panicked fleeing- if it had, it'd be more likely that Ruby would land somewhere in the ocean and not a hundred feet from the temple.

* AssholeVictim: Steven is kinda being a douche in this episode. Also probably a rapist.

* InventionalWisdom: [[PlotSensitiveButton A single, prominent button]] in the Roaming Eye opens the doors [[ThrownOutTheAirlock mid-flight]] and projects a force field to protect the pilot--but ''not'' the one who presses the button. Either the ship has some bizarre design functions, or it Navy reprogrammed the controls to mess with Steven.

* PlacedInTheBarn: Steven's plan was to have Navy go live in the Barn.

As they return to shore, Garnet pops the "Welcome to the Party!" balloon she had been waiting to give to Navy, and instead presents him with the "Sorry for your loss" one.

* DownerEnding: Steven is betrayed by Navy, who now has the Roaming Eye back and is possibly going back to Homeworld to inform them of the Crystal Gems. None of the appearing Crystal Gems really take it that badly though.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Navy has always come across as rather sweet and clueless in past appearances. Steven even notes in this episode that she always seemed to be quite nice. [[spoiler:But she's a Homeworld Gem and part of the Ruby Squad sent to Earth for a reason and this episode show why]].

* TooGoodToBeTrue: And the reasons why were actually laid out from the get-go, just not taken seriously at the time. Steven couldn't see Navy wanting to join the Crystal Gems and live on Earth after their past encounters, but it was PlayedForLaughs. Lapis doubted that Navy could immediately adjust to life on Earth with no problems, especially when Lapis still getting used to Earth is a major theme of the story. Both Steven and Lapis are shown to be right. Navy's betrayal ''wasn't'' a foregone conclusion, though: Garnet allowed Steven, Peridot, and Lapis to try befriending her, and based on the two balloons Garnet had, her future vision showed her a solid possibility that Navy would change sides for real.

** Steven mentions their past events with the Rubies.

* OffModel: Halfway through the episode, Peridot's hair suddenly becomes huge due to switching to a different animator.

** Just before Ruby jumps at Steven and Garnet, in a [[FreezeFrameBonus blink and you'll miss it moment]], she gives them a very angry look.

In the water below, Lapis Lazuli is laughing with relief that Navy wasn't such an Earth assimilation prodigy after all, rather a liar who wanted her property back.

As they return to shore, Garnet pops the "Congratulations" balloon she had waiting to give Steven, and instead presents him with the "Sorry for your loss" one.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Navy gets used to Earth pretty quickly, which Lapis finds unbelievable given how long it took -- and is still taking -- her. [[spoiler: And then it turns out to all be a trick.]]

Despite it being a crash landing, the falling star lands on the beach in front of the temple. When the smoke clears, it is discovered to be one of the Ruby Squad .

Since she's a Homeworld Gem, Steven takes her out to the barn that Lapis Lazuli and Peridot share. Peridot is enthusiastic about welcoming Navy. Lapis is dubious and suspicoius about the new Gem's presence, especially when she greets every Earth experience as a delightful opportunity to learn something new and exciting. Lapis grows more and more distrustful as everything they show Ruby, she takes to and excels at pretty much instantly. Finally Lapis gets frustrated and explains that she thinks it's weird and troubling to her that Navy has caught on to Earth and made herself at home so quicky.

The ruse is revealed. Navy never truly wanted to come to Earth and stay, becoming another Crystal Gem. She simply wanted her ship back and revenge on Steven for blasting her and her squad into space. She executes a manuver that drops the hangers-on into the sea, and puts the ship in hyperdrive. It immediately vanishes from the sky as it speeds away.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Navy betrays the others and tries throwing them out of the ship, Peridot can't hear anything that she is saying and thinks that she is just trying to show them a view of the ocean.

** Back in "Adventures in Light Distortion", right before she hits the ship, Navy looks directly at it, showing that she knows the Crystal Gems have taken their ship.

** Just before Ruby jumps at Steven and Garnet, in a [[FreezeFrameBonus blink and you'll miss it moment]], she gives them a ''[[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/231/125/82c.png very angry look.]]''

--> '''Navy:''' The only thing wrong, is that. You're. Still holding on. ''({{dissonant laughter}})''

* FailedASpotCheck: Navy failed to see her ship the first time she was at the barn, though this may have been part of her ruse.
