Names The Same is no longer a trope

On his way to meet Bill and Algy on a camping trip, Rupert discovers a pass in the mountains that leads to a hidden kingdom called Tourmaline Valley, inhabited by a race of elf-like people called Gemlins. In a palace made of crystal and covered everywhere in precious gemstones, he meets quite the OddCouple -- Lazuli (pronounced La-ZOO-lee) and a large, incredibly strong, unstoppable soldier, who's fiercely attached to Lazuli despite the former treating him terribly and taking everything out on him, named Jasper. [[NamesTheSame No, seriously.]] The duo are twice attacked by a trio of Gemlins named Tiara, Malachite, and Quartz (no, ''seriously''). "Prince" Lazuli assures Rupert the rebels are not a threat and begs him to take the red gem he found and leave the valley.

Rupert, however, grows suspicious about his new friends and decides to stick around and dig deeper. After investigating, he learns the pink-clad girl who leads the rebels is actually the ruler of the land (no, '''seriously''') and that they're trying to stop a plan to harvest gems from the ground before it destroys the entire land. No, '''''[[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse SERIOUSLY]].'''''

!!This episode provides examples of:
* BadVibrations: Tourmaline Valley is regularly struck by earth tremors. Lazuli's insatiable mining for gems turns out to be the cause.
-->'''Tiara:''' These mountains are so riddled with tunnels, they're ready to collapse!
* CaveBehindTheFalls: The passage to Tourmaline Valley starts here.
* ChandelierSwing: Rupert does this during the climactic battle.
* ClashingCousins: That's putting it '''''VERY''''' mildly...
* CollapsingLair: Lazuli's palace becomes this.
* CompetitionFreak: Bill and Algy insist on turning a simple walk to a campsite into a race.
-->'''Rupert:''' I never thought of camping as a competitive sport.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** As usual, Lazuli and Jasper resemble a case of domestic abuse.
** There's also something... intriguing about a woman fighting to get her authority back from an abusive, tyrannical man...
* DumbMuscle: Lazuli has Jasper convinced he is this trope. Tiara wants Jasper to think otherwise.
* EasilyForgiven: Tiara has no plans to punish Jasper for the role played in enslaving her people and endangering her kingdom.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Lazuli is set up like a campy, funny, eccentric ruler and the innocent victim under attack from the villains. Then you see how he treats Jasper...
** When Jasper captures Tiara, the things she says to Lazuli ("You will regret this, Lazuli!"/"You must stop work on this preposterous palace!"/"Your greed will be the end of you, Lazuli, mark my words!") sound like someone yelling at a subordinate, not a prisoner lashing out at their ruler.
* GivingThemTheStrip: Rupert loses his scarf in a struggle with Jasper.
* {{Greed}}: Nothing matters to Lazuli but getting more gemstones.
* GreenAesop: Against destructive mining.
* HeelFaceTurn: Jasper eventually realizes he's on the wrong side and swears loyalty to Pink Diamond... sorry, Princess Tiara.
* {{Irony}}: Rupert refuses to take one of Bill's shortcuts because they always lead them where they’re ''not'' trying to go. Only Rupert follows the established route to the campsite, and only he ends up finding an adventurous detour.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Yes, LAZ-a-lee and la-ZOO-lee are both 100% correct, 100% acceptable ways to pronounce “lazuli.”
* LargeAndInCharge: Lazuli and Jasper are significantly bigger than all the other Gemlins.
* LightIsNotGood: Lazuli's opulent crystal palace is stunningly gorgeous... and will be the doom of the kingdom if it's not destroyed.
* ListSong: Lazuli sings a list of gemstones, starting with "[[Characters/StevenUniverseAmethyst Amethyst]], [[Characters/StevenUniverseGarnet garnet]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers aquamarine]]..."
* MadeOfIndestructium: No matter how hard Jasper tried, he couldn't destroy the hardalite gem. He finally tried flinging it out of the valley, where Rupert found it.
* MasterArcher: The Gemlins all attack using bows and arrows.
* MineralMacguffin: The hardalite gem -- if struck on Lazuli's crystachord (a crystal pipe organ), it would shatter his entire crystal palace.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Rupert and Tiara have to strike a certain note on the crystachord to destroy the palace, but they can’t figure out which one. Lazuli tries to stop them. No points for guessing who ends up hitting the right note.
* OddNameOut: Tiara among the Gemlins.
* OneManArmy: Jasper. None of the other Gemlins stand a chance against him.
* OutsideContextProblem: Rupert becomes this for Lazuli.
* PlotTwist: At first, it looks like Rupert's met the prince of the land who's busy defending himself from criminals. It turns out the rebels attacking the palace are the heroes, and the alleged ruler is the villain.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Naturally, the rebel-leader/royal Gemlin leader wears pink.
* PrincessesRule: Gender neutral example -- not only does Tiara, the highest-ranking ruler of the Gemlins, have the title of "Princess," but Lazuli, when he steals the throne, uses the title "Prince," not "King."
* RightfulKingReturns: Rupert helps put the rightful ruler of Tourmaline Valley back on the throne.
* RockThemeNaming: All the Gemlins save their ruler are named after minerals.
* ShortCutsMakeLongDelays: Cited by Rupert as the reason why he refuses to deviate from the path to the campsite... only to end up being delayed longer than either of his friends.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Tiara is the only female Gemlin we see.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Rupert finding the hardalite gem was the beginning of Lazuli's undoing.
* StockholmSyndrome: Jasper is ruthlessly devoted to Lazuli despite how horribly the latter treats him, truly believing he's nothing without Lazuli guiding him.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Lazuli began putting all the Gemlins to work in the mines after he stole the throne.
* TheUsurper: Lazuli forced Jasper to help him take over the kingdom rightfully ruled by his cousin.
* WhamLine:
-->'''Lazuli:''' Did you put the princess to work, Jasper?
-->'''Jasper:''' Yes, sire.
-->'''Rupert:''' ''(eavesdropping)'' Princess...?
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Rupert addresses the real Gemlin ruler as "Princess" out of respect, but when they get caught by Lazuli and Jasper at the crystachord, he simply shouts, "Play, Tiara, play!"
* YouMeddlingKids:
-->'''Lazuli:''' Find that sneaky little bear!
