The episode opens with Amethyst getting a lecture from Pearl. Apparently Amethyst's penchant for violence led her to punch their last enemy -- a blood polyp. Pearl is telling the shorter Gem off for not thinking that would cause the polyp to burst and cover them all in red gunk, especially little Steven. Steven, [[CheerfulChild ever cheerful]], says it's not so bad once you get used to it. Pearl insists he won't feel the same once it hardens. Steven wisely goes to wash off, but he's too late. The blood polyp gunk hardens and freezes him in place.

'''Amethyst''' (scowling): I only feel how I wanna feel.

!!Tropes

* CoveredInGunge: [[NoodleIncident An encounter with some sort of creature]] resulted in all of Steven but his face being coated in dark red gunk, which hardens and immobilized him.

* CurbstompBattle: Amethyst trying to throw down with Garnet is pretty obviously one-sided. Garnet only needed one PowerFist to handle her, and likely would have laid a ''serious'' beatdown had Steven not stopped them.

--> '''Pearl:''' Ugh, you are just so childish!\\

'''Steven''': And they... like that?\\
'''Amethyst:''': "like it"? They love it! Ha, well, they hate it but it's all part of the fun you know?

-->'''Pearl:''' (to Amethyst) How could you possibly think punching a blood polyp was a good idea?

Steven watches her make short work of Ronaldo Fryman and several other comers, before confronting her on her way home. Amethyst is upset to have been caught out and explains that she comes to blow off steam after having Garnet and Pearl on her back all the time. Amethyst complains that Steven wouldn't understand, but Steven counters by proving he does. He does imitations of Pearl and Garnet scolding him for bringing peanut butter on missions and for not taking his Gem duties seriously enough. He asks if he can join Amethyst in the ring. She considers telling him no, but having a partner would allow her to fight tag team. Steven gathers together a bunch of junk from his room and quickly assembles a costume to declare himself Tiger Millionaire, complete with {{Backstory}}. Puma hasn't got one, so Steven says they'll workshop it later.
