Lapis is opposed to the idea, so Steven suggests the idea [[SawItInAMovieOnce he saw in a sitcom]] once; drawing a line down the center. Lapis still balks, and Peridot points out she's gotten all the good stuff. Lapis says the problem isn't the living space but that it's Peridot.

** Peridot expected Lapis Lazuli to be immediate friends with her. Unfortunately for her, Lapis Lazuli ''didn't'' forget about all the things Peridot did to her in the past and was in fact, genuinely upset, angry, and hostile with her. Peridot's efforts in making amends with her did not magically excuse Peridot of her actions enough for Lapis Lazuli to pleasantly smile for or be convinced that she changed at all until Steven called her out and give Peridot a chance and getting to know her better, that Lapis finally realized the truth.
** Lapis being trapped underwater for months being fused with Jasper, while maintaining Malachite, emotionally traumatized her and it didn't magically go away. She needed to stay away from the water for an unspecified amount of time.
** When Steven tried to divide space for both Peridot and Lapis Lazuli to share in the barn, Lapis Lazuli outright does not want to, not because of materialistic reasons, or because of the amount of space, but because of Peridot herself, due to dragging her back to Earth, amongst other things.

She turns off her DeathGlare, gives a sarcastic thanks for the lake, tells Steven it's not his fault, and flies off again.

* ThisIsMySide: Steven suggests that Lapis and Peridot divide the barn in half, based on [[SawItInAMovieOnce something he saw in a sitcom]]. Peridot accepts the idea, but Lapis shoots it down immediately, because her problem wasn't having to share space, it was that she had to be ''anywhere near'' Peridot.

-->'''Steven:''' Now it's too late and she'll never come back again. {{Beat}}. Oh look, she's coming back again.

The episode begins shortly after the end of Same Old World.

Peridot is bloviating into her handheld recorder, excitedly describing how excited she is to be sharing the barn with Lapis Lazuli, and how they'll be great friends now that she has also renounced Homeworld. The shot pulls back to reveal Steven and Lapis are standing right there watching this monologue.

Lapis is opposed to the idea, so Steven suggests the idea [[SawItInAMovieOnce he saw in a sitcom]] once; drawing a line down the center. Lapis still balks, and Peridot points out she's gotten all the good stuff. Lapis says the problem isn't the living space but that it's Peridot.

Peridot tries to explain that although she brought Lapis back to earth, it wasn't her choice or fault because an informant was needed. Lapis reiterates that she thinks this won't work. Steven suggests a curtain. Lapis, done speaking on it, sprouts her water wings and flies off to brood on the roof of the silo.

Peridot is genuinely frustrated that Lapis hasn't realized, despite her frantic explanations of how much she's changed, turned on Homeworld, and is probably targeted by Yellow Diamond's vengeance. She insists she wants to get through to Lazuli and Steven declares her determination to prove herself changed and worthy of friendship as sweet. Using that as his guide, he suggests that Peridot show this side off herself to Lapis.

Steven draws a friendship card with chibi versions of Peridot and Lapis holding hands in friendship for Peridot to write an apology in, and tells her to be sincere. They approach the silo. Peridot calls repeatedly for “Lazuli!” but Lapis ignores her, only coming down when Steven calls for her. She reads the card.

-->'''Lapis:''' [reading] “Sorry I interrogated you. You were just full of such useful information. That's a sincere compliment. Peridot.”

Shortly, this approach has obviously failed. Peridot blames the noses --which Steven's drawing style omits-- rather than her sincerity, since it took her over an hour to compose it. Steven suggests thinking of giving Lapis things she likes. Peridot is immediately able to iterate that Lapis Lazuli gems like water and flying. Steven suggests water is a good idea, and he leads Lapis to their next surprise, covering her eyes with her water wings. Peridot announces the surprise, floating on an inner tube.

Steven explains that the hole made by the drill has been sealed and filled with water. Peridot is pleased with herself for making a place for Lapis to get her moisture fix. Lapis is not pleased with this gift either and explains why.

-->'''Lapis:''' Water? ''Seriously''?

-->'''Lapis:''' It was an endless, crushing darkness – wet and bleak and suffocating. Water was the ''tomb'' I lived in for those months.

She turns off her DeathGlare, gives a sarcastic thanks for the lake, tells Steven it's not his fault, and flies off again.

Steven's next suggestion is that Peridot give her something she likes. They briefly discuss giving her Camp Pining Hearts but Peridot only wants to part with bad season five. Peridot collapses in frustration, dictating into her handheld recorder – when suddenly she lights up with an idea.

Peridot proudly presents Lapis with a gift, proudly wrapped in blue ribbon. When Lapis makes no move to accept it, Peridot unwraps it for her, revealing the hand held tape recorder. Peridot explains what it means to her, why it means so much to her, and that it was a gift from Steven. Lapis summarily crushes it, writing it off as garbage. This actually upsets Peridot enough that she explodes and asks what Lapis wants from her. Lapis immediately snaps back that she wants Peridot to leave. Peridot acknowledges this request, says “Okay,” and walks off on the spot.

Steven asks Lapis why she's so hard on Peridot, and why she won't even give Peridot a chance. Lapis, for her part wants to know why Steven trusts Peridot at all. Steven goes on to explain he's taken the time to get to know her, which Lapis refuses to do.

Peridot is not only returning, she's running in fright, screaming as she flees from the red sphere pursuing her from above; she identifies it as a Roaming Eye, sent from Homeworld. Terrified and despairing, Peridot says Yellow Diamond is going to wipe her off the face of the earth. They try to avoid it but it pursues, even finding them in the barn thanks to the hole Peridot has yet to repair. Steven steps forward protectively, ready to call up his shield in defense of his friend. Lapis steps in front of him, using the pond they made her to form a giant water hand and bat the red eye ship to the ground with little effort.

The Crystal Gems rush to make sure Steven is all right. Steven assures them he is; Lapis protected them. Peridot turns to leave again. Lapis stops her, asking if she's all right. Peridot, seeing this first gesture, breaks into the brightest smile. Lapis, caught on the back foot by this reaction, stammers and blushes.

Before anyone can say anything to help or ruin the moment, the hatch of the eye opens, and from it emerges a Ruby wearing Yellow Diamond's livery with her gem where her left eye belongs. She turns to glower menacingly at the assembled gems.

* GenreBlind: When Steven suggests trying ThisIsMySide, he says he didn't see to the end of the episode, but figures it turns out fine.

* TranquilFury: When Lapis tells Peridot off, the latter stoically replies "Okay." and storms off.

* EmpathicEnvironment: Subtly, the skies get more cloudy as Lapis' mood worsens, and at the end, brightens, just as she sees Peridot's smiling face.

* BackhandedApology: While Peridot's apology ''[[SubvertedTrope was]]'' sincere, the wording was bad enough that Lapis apparently took it as one.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Once Peridot storms off, Steven tells Lapis she's "never coming back again." Cue Peridot screaming as she runs toward them.

* ImmediatelyProvenWrong: Once Peridot storms off, Steven tells Lapis she's "never coming back again." Cue Peridot screaming as she runs toward them.

* ShipSinking: It's like the Crewniverse got word of the CrackPairing status that Lapis x Peridot (aka [[PortmanteauCoupleName Lapidot]]) had reached, went all "HEEEEELL, NOOOOO!!" and decided to invoke this trope at full speed.

* DeathGlare: Lapis gives one when discussing how horrible it was underwater to Peridot.

-->'''Peridot:''' Look, I get it, you know. You're confused. You can never go back to Homeworld. ''This'' place doesn't exactly feel like home yet. You're alone. [[SarcasmMode No one could]] ''[[SarcasmMode possibly]]'' [[SarcasmMode know what that feels like!]] Oh wait--'''I do!''' We're the same! Except... you don't have to be alone.

** Subverted in that the traits Peridot uses as evidence are not actually things that Lapis shares with her.

-->'''Steven:''' Oh, That's kind of my style lately.
-->'''Peridot:''' Is not having fingers also your style?
-->'''Steven:''' No, I'm just bad at drawing hands.

* YouAreNotAlone: When her second gift fails, Peridot tells Lapis that she doesn't have to deal with being a refugee herself, but it doesn't take.

** Partially subverted, when you think about it, because Lapis has Steven. However, considering Homeworld isn't the same as it was when she wasn't in a mirror hundreds of years ago, and she's only just thought of calling the earth home, you can see the silent acknowledgement on Lapis' face that, even if she doesn't like Peridot, she's not entirely wrong.
