Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Garnet's perfectly reasonable decision to fuse with Pearl instead of Amethyst is nevertheless responsible for the plot of the episode. Because Sardonyx carefully disassembles the tower rather than just smashing it, Pearl has the means to keep repairing it, and it's because Pearl wants to fuse with Garnet that she goes to such lengths to create an excuse to do so.

Added DiffLines:

**Amethyst was also far more reluctant to fuse with Garnet this time, so Garnet would have had much more control over Sugilite.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Garnet reminds the Gems how brash (Garnet) and reckless (Amethyst) Sugilite was and can be. After Pearl is found out to be fixing the communication hub so she could fuse with Garnet, Sugilite reforms and is indeed reckless in how she ''annihilates'' the hub, but with [[TranquilFury no brashness or cockiness about it]]. Pearl ''seriously'' pissed Garnet off.

The Crystal Gems and Steven go to the communication hub, which was last seen in [[Reccap/StevenUniverseS1E20CoachSteven Coach Steven]]. Peridot has rebuilt it, but since the last time Garnet and Amethyst formed Sugalite was a disaster, she decides to fuse with Pearl instead and form Sardonyx.
