History Recap / StevenUniverseS4E6LastOneOutOfBeachCity

Steven and Pearl are about to start their evening solving a jigsaw puzzle, while Amethyst is excited to go to a Mike Krol concert with Greg. Who then shows up, only to reveal he's just been reminded that he'd earlier promised to play cards with Barb and Vidalia that night...and Barb threatened to withhold his mail if he bailed on them.

->'''Steven:''' How'd it go?
->'''Pearl:''' I asked about her hair, and then she asked how I colored mine. I told her my appearance is just a conscious manifestation of light. And she said, "I know how that is," although I highly doubt it. Oh, and then I added, "And by the way, I saved your planet and your species and you're welcome."
->'''Amethyst:''' And how'd that go over?
->'''Pearl:''' Not very well. She walked off after giving me some sort of code.

-->'''Starring'''
-->'''Pearl as Repressed Nerd'''
-->'''Amethyst as Ultimate Wingman'''
-->'''Steven as Voice of Reason'''
-->'''And introducing Mystery Girl as Herself'''

-->'''Steven:''' ...Pearl? You okay?
-->'''Pearl:''' Uhhhhhhhhhhhh... ''(blbl)'' ...I just didn't realize humans could come with pink hair.

-->'''Greg:''' She is not a woman of empty threats.

-->'''Pearl:''' It's cool, because the collar isn't supposed to go that way.

-->'''Pearl:''' I'm not exactly a citizen, Steven!

-->'''Steven:''' How'd it go?
-->'''Pearl:''' I asked about her hair, and then she asked how I colored mine. I told her my appearance is just a conscious manifestation of light. And she said, "I know how that is," although I highly doubt it. Oh, and then I added, "And by the way, I saved your planet and your species and you're welcome."
-->'''Amethyst:''' And how'd that go over?
-->'''Pearl:''' Not very well. She walked off after giving me some sort of code.

-->'''Amethyst:''' Pearl, you just, like, gave her some Shakespearian spiel about light, and then got her number like it was nothing? Oh-ho-ho-ho! Pearl, you're a total rock star!

* FrenchMaidOutfit: Title card Lapis wears one.

* HighSchoolAU: A school festival is shown in the the title card, with Amethyst doing a haunted house and Lapis doing a ''maid cafe''. Pearl is looking at Mystery Girl in surprise.

* OffModel: During Pearl's first encounter with Mystery Girl, she is drawn with two ''right'' hands when knocking over the cups.

-->'''Steven:''' I haven't been that scared since you almost let me die!

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It isn't shown if Amethyst, Steven and Pearl managed to recover the Dondai after it ran out of gas.

* AbsenteeActor: Garnet does not appear in this episode.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pearl is surprised that a human has pink hair, and Steven explains that it's dyed (with a description that suggests he's seen the process).

* {{Mondegreen}}: When it seems like they can't make it to the concert, Pearl laments that they can't see "your Krol", apparently having misheard "Mike Krol" as "my Krol".

* RaceForYourLove: The drive to the concert turns into a race to catch up with a ''potential'' girlfriend so Pearl can talk with her before she's gone. RealityEnsues when a cop car tries to arrest them upon pulling the stunt.

* LateToThePunchline: After Steven makes a big deal about how obvious it is that Mystery Girl looks like Rose, it turns out Amethyst didn't get it.

* FrothyMugsOfWater: Pearl decides to let her rebellious side out by ''drinking''. She then tries to open a can of apple juice. Justified in that since Pearl rarely ingests anything due to her gem body not needing it.

* CallBack:
** Pearl's attempts to move on from Rose finally reach progress when she meets someone with similar hair and stature.
** Greg's Dondai gets used for a character's WalkOnTheWildSideEpisode, though this time Pearl had permission.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Pearl wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans.

* BaitAndSwitch:
** The Mystery Girl's resemblance to Rose seemed like it would be the ElephantInTheLivingRoom, but then Steven points it out in the very next scene.

** Pearl confesses she doesn't have a driver's license. When pressed for details, she starts to say it would mean going to the DMV and explaining she's a six thousand year old alien. Instead of CassandraTruth, she points out that she's technically not a US citizen, and thus the paperwork would be more complicated.

* {{Adorkable}}: Pearl's first attempt to talk to Mystery Girl ends up knocking over a stack of cups. She also mishears "Mike Krol" as "my Krol" and calls him "your Krol".

* StealthPun: Pearl explains that she can't get a driver's license because (being from another planet) she isn't a citizen. Making her, effectively, an illegal alien.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: The car chase scenes, especially when Pearl rounds the cliffside, use CG elements.

* ConspicuousCG: The car chase scenes, especially when Pearl rounds the cliffside, have this.

** Steven tells Pearl that's the most scared he's been since she almost let him die, referencing the events of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E28SpaceRace "Space Race"]] (or possibly [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E45RosesScabbard "Rose's Scabbard"; part of the humor is that it's unclear which of the ''multiple'' times Pearl almost let Steven die he's referring to.)

** Steven tells Pearl that's the most scared he's been since she almost let him die, referencing the events of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E28SpaceRace "Space Race"]].

* SpecialGuest: Mike Krol appears AsHimself.

* DressedInLayer: For some reason, Pearl put a regular pair of jeans on ''over'' her regular outfit [[ForgotAboutHisPowers instead of changing her clothes with shapeshifting]].
