History Recap / StevenUniverseS1E4TogetherBreakfast

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Garnet enters the room, two gems that are red and blue flash out.

* SpookyPainting: The picture is like something right out of the SCPFoundation. It's creepy to look at, its origin is never elaborated upon, any image of it must be destroyed as well (and Garnet didn't just delete the image, she broke the phone in half and then incinerated it.) Screams were heard when it was burned, and the smoke resisted being bubbled and could possess things (such as the breakfast.) It also really doesn't fit the later explanation for the monsters at all. [[note]]If it's really [[spoiler:a "corrupted gem" then it should have poofed and left an easily-bubbled gem behind like all the rest.]] Its total destruction would not be called for, and it should not have been capable of fighting against bubbling, since the stasis effect of bubbling is such that when we see it done to a fully sentient gem, once released she finishes her sentence like no time has passed and takes a moment to notice she's not where she was when she was bubbled. This also means the later WordOfGod explanation doesn't fly and probably wasn't what was intended at the time of writing: if it was [[spoiler: ink made with the tiniest bits of shattered gems]], again, normal MonsterOfTheWeek rules would have applied to it - the stasis effect of bubbling would have taken place, and there's no [[spoiler: ink made from shattered gems]] in ''photos'' of the painting.[[/note]] In the end it remains an incomprehensible OutsideContextVillain.

* TitleDrop: After finishing breakfast but not finding anyone, Steven comments "That thing's too good for me to eat alone. It's a... together breakfast."

* NeverMyFault: Pearl finds one of her sword in Amethyst's room and accuses her of stealing it. It actually fell there because Pearl dropped it (Pearl's "room" is a body of water floating above Amethyst's room), though Amethyst knows this and [[PoorCommunicationKills gives a smartass comment instead of an explanation]].

-->'''Garnet:''' It did try to kill us.

* StockSoundEffects: The vocalizations of the evil spirit are stock "monster" effects from the Hannaa-Barbera sound library.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: As Steven slides down a pillar attached to the crystal heart - to where 'the most dangerous rooms in the temple' are - he falls through a mechanical inky blackness, and a section of soft pastel pink clouds which 'aren't so bad'. Guess what Rose's Room looks like?

* Foreshadowing: As Steven slides down a pillar attached to the crystal heart - to where 'the most dangerous rooms in the temple' are - he falls through a mechanical inky blackness, and a section of soft pastel pink clouds which 'aren't so bad'. Guess what Rose's Room looks like?

* {{Foreshadowing}}: As Steven slides down the pole, he comes out of dark shaft to a lit area that he says "isn't so bad" but keeps sliding into ''another'' dark shaft. Judging by the light pink background, that was probably Rose's Room, which would would see in more detail in the later episode of the same name.

* GravityScrew: As Steven is running away from Amethyst, the path he's on suddenly twists so he's running on upside down, [[SelectiveGravity and the breakfast he's carrying almost falls "down" and off the plate]].
* LamePunReaction: Steven claims that his breakfast isn't exactly health, but being in a stack makes it a "balanced breakfast". Garnet just stares wordlessly.

* NeverMyFault: Pearl finds one of her sword in Amethyst's room and accuses her of stealing it. It actually fell there because Pearl dropped it (Pearl's "room" is a body of water floating above Amethyst's room), though Amethyst knows this and [[PoorCommunicationKills elects to make a smartass comment instead of explaining this]].

Notes:
* We see the inside of the temple for the first time in this episode.
* We find out that Amethyst has shape-shifting powers.

* EldritchLocation: The first thing you'd notice about the temple? There's only [[PortalDoor one doorway, and it leads to multiple rooms.]] Gravity is also noticeably more subjective in said rooms.
** BuildingOfAdventure: Pearl insists ([[MamaBear multiple times]]) that there are several rooms in the temple that aren't safe for humans, so you just ''know'' that even something as simple as a coffee run could get the blood pumping in your ears.

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Amethyst's Shape-shifting powers appear here. She displays them a bit more in a future episode.
** As Steven slides down the tube, he doesn't scream when he passes by a rather serene area and says, "this isn't so bad." [[spoiler: It's Rose's Room.]]

Steven prepares a special "together breakfast" to share with the other Gems (waffles, popcorn, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and a strawberry on top). He waits impatiently for them to come home. First Garnet comes back, and indicates she can't stay as she has to burn an evil picture. Steven takes a photo of it, and Garnet confiscates it, having to burn it due to the photo being a reproduction of the evil picture. Pearl comes home as well, but pretty much goes right into her room. Steven, determined to have Together Breakfast with the Gems. His Gem won't open the door, but he sticks a foot in and squeezes his way in. Pearl complains at him being inside the temple, even as Steven wades through her pool toward her -- until the waterfall slides him down into Amethyst's room. Amethyst asks what Steven has, and when he explains about Together Breakfast, playfully chases him to eat it herself. When Steven runs from her, he slides down to the bottom of the Temple where Garnet is about to burn the picture and the phone. Steven's arrival distracts her, though, and the evil from the picture possesses the breakfast.

Steven prepares a special "together breakfast" to share with the other Gems, but they're all too busy to eat- except Amethyst, who chases after him trying to eat it by herself! When Steven hides from her, he accidentally stumbles on [[spoiler:Garnet burning a scroll that [[SealedEvilInACan contained an evil force]] and it ends possessing the food, creating a monster that they must then fight]].

Afterwards they celebrate by making the breakfast again... except [[spoiler:after what happened, they realize they don't feel like eating it]].
