Are we sure Sour Cream isn't a gem? Because man, that baby had super strength or something to climb all that.

Guys, there's an officially released promo for next week that CN put on their Twitter, I put it in the spoiler thread just in case.

But HOW did Sour Cream climb all the way up there?

And while that story does explain why Greg started working at the car wash, it does not explain how he came to own the thing. Unless he doesn't actually own it and is still just an employee after all this time.

I'm assuming he inherited it from the previous owner.

I mean Beach City is a small place so that's prolly what happened.

You work until you own it, Gregory owned it real good...

He's also quite the procrastinator.

I think Greg basically sang let me drive my van into your heart to the owner and he basically just gave Greg the keys to the car wash.

Seeing Alone at Sea better now, I really hope the Big Buff Cheeto Puff can turn around and be a good guy. Her eyes were already opened to the positives of fusion, though she could stand to learn a lesson about it from Garnet that doesn't involve her getting dunked on.

It kind of sucks that Vidalia essentially had to give up her life of...whatever she was doing to raise Marty's son.

Blissful ignorant Rose is great. I really liked how Susan Egan explored different forms of voicing in this one. Before, she was always ethereal and grace; that talk she and Greg had really went a ways to helping her mellow out and relax.

And yeah, she got the strength of a Quartz all right.

Being a groupie?

Same with Greg.

I mean Jesus, the guy didn't have a life.

If you have to resort to eating fry bits out of a trash can, you need to reevaluate some things.

x5 She still only sees fusion as a way to get stronger...she believes in power, strength, and nothing but the increase in strongness.

God I love that "There she goes" video, its so funny I have it on loop over and over.

Good for Ronaldo!

Speaking of which, I just realized how morbidly hilarious yesterday's post was considering it was for "Alone at Sea".

Oh my gosh does anyone have gifs of Greg's hair doing the Sonic thing?

Awwwwwwww there's still hope.

I got a tear in my eye.

I remember someone is the crew joking that the show could be considered a Sequel Series to a Romcom starring Greg.

I think this should be the theme song:

"Sonic thing"? Do you mean frizzing out to express anxiety?

I think that's the first time we've seen that since "Space Race".

Someone took Peridot's tweets and made a pretty good reading of them.

Remember?

Aside from the audio being way to quiet at times, great reads.

Change, huh?

Well, I don't think it's a tough choice, but here's my rankings for this week's episodes:

1. Monster Reunion (Backstory and sadness, hooray!)
2. Alone At Sea (showed both sides of an abusive relationship, metaphor-free)
3. Greg The Babysitter (some nice insight into Rose and how she thinks)
4. Restaurant Wars (funniest episode, not bad at all)
5. Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service (not bad by any means, just not as much going on)

I think I'd put "Restaurant Wars" above "Greg the Babysitter", personally, but otherwise I think I agree.

I do think that "Alone At Sea" has some pacing problems that, say, "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service" doesn't, but the subject matter helps elevate it considerably - it takes more risks, basically.

"Monster Reunion", however, doesn't have those problems, and that helps it get the top spot - it's a brilliant episode all around, as far as I'm concerned.
