History Recap / StevenUniverseS2E11KeepingItTogether

-->'''Garnet:''' Janked.\\

-->'''Garnet:''' Janked.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Garnet, that mouth!

-->'''Garnet:''' You've fused.

* MoodWhiplash: The whole episode is this in spades. We start with folding laundry: Steven has a ton of identical shirts, poking fun at his LimitedWardrobe, and we cut to the chore wheel that {{Adorkable}} Pearl has edited, not to get ''out'' of chores, but to give herself ''all'' the chores because she ''loves'' tidying up so much. Garnet is at her ''most'' lovable as Steven's surrogate mom, and Ruby and Sapphire are mentioned, reminding us that Garnet is a living embodiment of [[IAmSong their love]] and all that. Then comes the most dark, most horrifying thing ever to happen in the show. The effect is doubled with TheStoic Garnet's reaction to the horrible torture her fallen friends are forced to exist in combined with the perversion of that which she holds so sacred; we've ''never'' seen her this horrified.

* {{Adorkable}}: Peridot displays a great deal more zany facial expressions and bursts into a peal of [[UnEvilLaugh dorky]] [[EvilLaugh evil laughter]] when making her escape.

* TravellingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: Peridot's escape pod landed within a few days ''walk'' of the Kindergarten, yet didn't get there until weeks or months later, [[JustInTime right before the Crystal Gems check in on it]].

* PrecisionFStrike: Between its dramatic timing and Amethyst's reaction, Garnet's use of the word "janked" is treated as this, even though it's actually pretty mild.
-->'''Amethyst (laughing, pleasantly surprised):''' Garnet! That mouth!

We start with folding laundry: Steven has a ton of identical shirts, poking fun at his LimitedWardrobe, and we cut to the chore wheel that {{Adorkable}} Pearl has edited, not to get ''out'' of chores, but to give herself ''all'' the chores because she ''loves'' tidying up so much. Garnet is at her ''most'' lovable as Steven's surrogate mom, and Ruby and Sapphire are mentioned, reminding us that Garnet is a ''living'' CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, [[IAmSong made of love]] and all that. Then comes the most dark, most horrifying thing ever to happen in the show. The effect is doubled with TheStoic Garnet's reaction to the horrible torture her fallen friends are forced to exist in combined with the perversion of that which she holds so sacred; we've ''never'' seen her this horrified.

* ArtShift: When Garnet starts to realize just what the Homeworld Gems have done, her face is drawn in a different art style, with more detail.

* HandWave: When Steven questions how the washer and dryer are getting water and power, Garnet literally waves her hand and simply says "[[AWizardDidIt Magic]]".

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: While they're folding Steven's shirts, Amethyst thinks it would be easier if humans went naked, citing the fact that it would be funny.
