* AdultFear: Greg fears that, by merely wanting to spend some time with his child and justifying it with a little lie, he's hurt Steven in a deep and unconscionable way.

At "It's A Wash," Greg's car wash, the Gems have returned his van, busted after their fight with Lapis Lazuli. Pearl inspects the van, convinced that since it's just a simple Earth machine, she can fix it. Greg, whose leg was also broken in the fight, rolls up in a wheeled office chair and extols the virtue of duct tape to fix any and everything. In lieu of going to the hospital, Greg has even duct taped a ruler and a twig to his leg as a splint.

The discussion turns to Greg's injury. Steven suggests his father live with them until he's better -- which alarms Pearl, who enthusiastically agrees with Greg that his presence might interfere with Steven's training. Amethyst reminds Steven of his healing powers; Pearl suggests he try that. Steven licks his hand then puts the sparkling spit on his father's leg. Greg tries to stand, but flops back into his seat in pain; the healing didn't work! Steven is upset since he thought he was finally getting the hang of using his powers at will. Garnet offers him reassurance, and they bring Greg home.

Steven, who clearly feels guilty that Greg got hurt for going on a mission, and guilty that his healing power didn't fix Greg's leg, goes all out to make Greg comfortable. He cooks for Greg, and they sing together on the beach.

Garnet announces a mission: a geode has cracked and the Gems must go to repair it. Steven is willing to stay behind with his father, but Garnet says he's needed. Greg voices worry about what he will do if he needs something.

-> '''Greg:''' Don't worry about your old man. My leg's not going to get any more broken. If I need something, I guess I'll just ... crawl. My arms aren't broken.

Pearl produces a magical item to set Greg and Steven's minds at ease: the warp whistle. All Greg needs to do is blow it, and it will activate their warp pad, letting them know he needs something. With that, they leave. Pearl begins to explain the problem but the whistle sounds. Steven returns to find his dad just wanted to make sure it worked. Steven gets back to the mission but before Pearl can complete her explanation, Greg blows the whistle again so Steven can find the remote. Steven returns to the mission again. Garnet suggests that he uses his healing powers to fix the crack in the geode, but to his dismay, his healing spit doesn't work on it! The Gems offer him more reassurance, even as Greg blows the whistle again.
