** Pink Pear was Pink Diamond's Pear before the Crystal Gems' Pearl, so it is possible that she was another high-ranking gems' Pearl. You could also consider her life as Pink Diamond / Rose Quartz' servant and her life without her as two different lives.

* why was Spinel created? We know that Gems don't have fun or games because every gem is made for one purpose, and they live out that purpose and nothing else. Several gems throughout the show, and Future, say that they don't have fun for that reason. Yet Spinel was supposedly created just for Fun and Games. She can't be a unique gem, because Reboot!Pearl recognises her as a Spinel, whereas if Spinel was the only one, then Reboot!Pearl wouldn't recognise her, just as she doesn't recognise Steven, so are there just random Spinels given out to gems who have no need for her?

Never mind lol, I reread and it explained the anvil scene


* When Steven's shield is holding up the giant anvil, [[TalkingIsAFreeAction why doesn't Ruby try to escape instead of talking to Sapphire?]]

** When Pink's first Pearl was damaged, the other Diamonds took the opportunity to replace her with two separate gems with segregated functions: Spinel, "your knew best friend", and our Pearl, who, you might note, is a) giving the introduction here and b) looks identical to her form in Now We're Only Falling Apart. It is highly likely that our Pearl was ''factory set'' with knowledge of Spinel - if not that exact spiel!

** PearlOS normally keeps two copies of everything, (1) is the prime copy actively taking in information while (2) is the backup passively copying (1) periodically in case something disrupts (1) mid operation which could cause dataloss. In this case (1) has been erased or corrupted beyond repair and (2) is locked down under Rejuvenation encryption meaning the system automatically created (3) with default settings to begin operation.

** Alternatively, it's a joke about code and file development. It's very common for developers to save several version of a file as they modify it, for safety. They'll name a file "final" when they think they're done, then find out the "final" version has a bug and make a "final(2)" version, and so on...

Added DiffLines:

*** Perhaps when Spinel said that the garden was built just for her and Pink Diamond she was being more literal then the audience realized. It does appear to be on a discarded husk of an asteroid in orbit of a dead planet. Perhaps Pink built that place to be her escape from life with the other diamonds and didn't expressly tell then where it was? Sure White could probably track it down easily enough if Pink ran off when she was supposed to be punished but otherwise she gave them a communicator address incase they needed her and told them nothing else about it after she built it on some long abandoned asteroid around a former colony.

!!Headscratchers pages are for post-viewing discussion, so spoilers are unmarked.



** In addition, where did she get her rejuvinator from? Given that Bismuth knew what it was and what it did, its clearly not Spinel's unique gem weapon specifically. She seems to have gone insane and lost it, gotten all her tech together and gotten to Earth in the time it took Steven to warp home and sing a the opening song of the film

* So why did [[spoiler:Pink Diamond leave Spinel at the garden? And why didn't she come back for Spinel to be part of the Crystal Gems before faking her death when the interstellar warp was still functional? Having as many allies as possible is a good thing when starting a war.]]

*** The warp beam is shown to be a physical object, which warping gems have to remain inside to reach their destination; the Diamonds are clearly too large to fit on that pad. While there likely is a warp pad meant for their size on Homeworld, there might not be any on Earth yet.

** It's probably just meaningless technobabble for the sake of the joke, since the song name doesn't resemble any folder structures any modern OS uses.
