History Recap / StevenUniverseS1E27HouseGuest

Greg tells Steven he missed a funny commercial. Steven becomes frustrated and reminds Greg he's only supposed to use the whistle if it's important. Greg apologizes and asks Steven to get him a snack from Big Donut. The other Gems have returned for the moment, while they seek alternative ways to repair the geode. Amethyst tells Steven to bring her a croissant before the Gems go into the temple. Steven realizes he forgot to ask Greg what he wanted, and returns to the house... To find Greg standing up just fine on both feet, ''dancing'' in the kitchen as he fixes himself a snack! Greg tries to dodge by talking about how he can still dance, then tries to distract by pointing out he was too hungry to wait for the snack. Then he gives up and falls over, as if his leg was suddenly paining him again.

When he gets back this time, Greg has picked up his tool box and the warp whistle, determined to take responsibility for the mission having failed earlier. Steven comes along, hearing Greg describe that he has to do his part to fix the problem he made worse by faking. Steven tries again after a PepTalk from Greg to heal the geode, but it still doesn't work. Greg's duct tape however manages to do the trick, sealing the geode so the storm dissipates -- at least for a while.

* NeverSayDie: The Gems describe death by vaporization in so many words, should the geode go unrepaired.

* RuleOfThree: Greg uses the warp whistle 3 times and it's the third usage that gets him caught.

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. But it's only moments before the whistle sounds. Steven returns to find his dad the remote. Steven gets back to the mission and -- Greg blows the whistle again. Steven returns to the mission again and, to his dismay, his healing spit doesn't work on the geode! The Gems offer him more reassurance, even as Greg blows the whistle again.

In the ensuing argument, Greg admits that the healing spit worked, but that he hadn't wanted to miss an opportunity to live with and spend time with his son. Steven, on the other hand, is very upset. His father's little lie damaged Steven's self-confidence. Steven storms out of the house. It's only seeing his ukulele next to Greg's guitar that helps Steven calm down and consider his father's admission.

When he gets back this time, Greg has picked up his tool box and the warp whistle, determined to take responsibility for the mission having failed earlier. Steven comes along and, after another failed attempt with Steven aware his powers aren't gone, the duct tape works well enough to buy them some time -- the storm dissipates completely.

-> '''Greg:''' my arms aren't broken. I guess I'll crawl.

The discussion turns to Greg's injury. Steven suggests his father live with them until he's better -- which alarms Pearl. She in turn suggests Steven try his healing powers. Steven salivates on 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.
