YMMV / Steven Universe S5E19 "Now We're Only Falling Apart"

• Accidental Aesop: Pearl and Sapphire all but say the moral of the story: "The mark of a good leader is not one who commands followers, but makes new leaders out of those followers." It can also be interpreted as how leaders work better when they listen to the ideas of others.
• Alternative Character Interpretation: Sapphire's line to Ruby that "you never know what's going on! That's what I'm for!". Was she blaming Ruby for not paying more attention and accusing her of leaving the burden on Sapphire to figure out when something was wrong? Or was she frustrated with herself that she failed to do what she's "supposed" to be good for and just said it in a way that hurt Ruby?
• Harsher in Hindsight: The end of the season gives the full context for Pink’s discomfort at Pearl’s servile nature: she became friends with her last Pearl, who was then possessed by White and replaced with this one.
