History Recap / StevenUniverseS4E9ThreeGemsAndABaby

* RealityEnsues: As a baby, Steven lacks object permanence, so when Garnet unfuses into Ruby and Sapphire he doesn't understand where Garnet went.

** Steven's gem glows when he is comfortable and surrounded by his family's love, just like in the first episode.

** We see Bucky Dewey and Jenny Pizza as kids, playing in the snow.

* ContinuityNod: When Pearl makes tea, she feeds Amethyst the teabags, referencing her professed love of them in "Onion Friend".

-->'''Amethyst''': There wasn't really a ''big'' idea... Just a bunch of small ideas that never came together.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The Gems just took Steven, hopped into the van, and left without telling Greg anything. Amethyst Lampshades it.

** Greg uses his keys to show the Gems an example of what they ''should'' get Steven (they all got him gifts he was too young to use), while doing the "carabiner, ''carabiner!''" thing from "Winter Forecast".

* NoInfantileAmnesia: Subverted. Steven can't remember anything that happened in the episode, the most notable being that he actually met Ruby and Sapphire ''years'' ago.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Garnet's describes her gift's HollywoodGiftwrap as being "made to look like it's been carefully", almost the exact same description Connie uses in "Steven's Birthday".

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Just like the last three, though this one focuses on the aftermath of Steven's birth rather than Greg and Rose's growing relationship.

* ArcSymbol: Steven gets fussy when his baby onsie covers his Gemstone, so Greg adjusts the buttons in a way that looks like the diamond symbol to expose it.
* CallForward: To show the Gems an example of what they ''should'' get Steven (they all got him gifts he was too young to use) he used his keys as an example, while doing the "carabiner, ''carabiner!''" thing from "Winter Forecast".

* EpicFail: Greg tries to make a makeshift dogsled to catch up to the van. He ends up getting chased by the dog, which is pulling the sled behind it.

* GiftGivingGaffe: The Gems get Steven a bunch of gifts, but their execution is somewhat off. Garnet gets him a razor, which he ''will'' need but presently is dangerous for an infant. Amethyst gets diapers, except they're for adults and thus too big. Finally, Pearl gets him a dictionary so he can learn English, without considering that someone would have to teach him to speak first.

** The Gems thought that Steven's babysitter kidnapped him (she really took him to the amusement park). Their attempt of getting him back apparently involved throwing a ''jungle gym'' at her.
** Apparently, Amethyst spent more than a few months ''in the form of a toilet.''

* PoorCommunicationKills: The Gems just took Steven, hopped into the van, and left without telling Greg anything.
* PronounTrouble: The Gems refer to Steven with female pronouns a few times because they're confusing him for Rose.

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Due to the Gems having not yet realized Rose was truly dead, Pearl initially believed Rose was imprisoned by being part of Steven.

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Just like the last three, though this one focuses on the aftermath of Steven's birth instead of Greg and Rose's growing relationship.

* ArcSymbol: Steven gets fussy when his baby onsie covers his Gemstone, so Greg adjust the buttons in a way that looks like the diamond symbol to expose it.
* CallForward: To show the Gems an example of what they ''should'' get Steven (they all got him gifts he was too young to use) he used his keys as an example, while doing the "carabiner, ''carabiner!''" thing from ''Winter Forecast.''

* FusionDance: 14 years ago, the Gems hadn't quite understood Rose was KilledOffForReal. As a result, Garnet believed Steven was a Fusion with Rose as one of the components, even splitting up into Ruby and Sapphire to try and coax 'them' to unfuse.

* TheLostLenore: Greg is clearly shown missing Rose when he looks at the picture of a young Vidalia, Sour Cream, and Yellowtail.

* NoInfantileAmnesia: Subverted. Steven can't remember anything that happened in the episode (the most notable being that he actually met Ruby and Sapphire ''years'' ago), and has no memory of the event.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Lampshaded by Amethyst after Greg asks what the Gems were thinking when they took Steven.

* NoodleIncident: The Gems thought that Steven's babysitter kidnapped him (she really took him to the amusement park). Their attempt of getting him back apparently involved throwing a ''jungle gym'' at her.

** Apparently Amethyst spent more than a few months ''in the form of a toilet.''

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Past Pearl has a perfect opportunity to remove Steven's Gem, which she thinks will restore Rose, but can't bring herself to do it because she knows how much Rose wanted this, even if she has no idea ''why''.

* FusionDance: 17 years ago, the Gems hadn't quite understood Rose was KilledOffForReal. As a result, Garnet believed Steven was a fusion with Rose as one of the components, even splitting up into Ruby and Sapphire to try and coax 'them' to unfuse.
