History Recap / StevenUniverseS3E6StevenFloats

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because Steven and the Gems have been away from home so long, all the food in the fridge spoils.

Steven is delighted to be finally back in Beach City and see his house, the beach, and the Big Donut. When Sadie tells him that if he comes back the next day at the opening of the store, he can enjoy the first fresh donut of the day. He is determined to be at there at seven o'clock sharp, but the emergence of a new power sends Steven very high in the sky...

* RealityEnsues:
** Steven can't call out to the Gems because he's too high up to be heard.
** Even once he figures out his levitation power, Steven still can't fully control said power; he lands a bit harder than intended, and jumping still poses some problems.

** When Garnet gets an idea on how to contact Steven while he's in mid-air, an exclamation point appears above her head accompanied by a sting, just like in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.

** Earlier, Sadie mentions a worker safety lawsuit, presumably related to '''The Incident''' mentioned in "Joking Victim" that left a human-shaped outline on the wall.

** Sadie mentions that they're making doughnuts on-site again, which according to "Joking Victim" they hadn't done since '''The Incident'''.

** After hitting his head on the ceiling of the Big Donut, Steven mutters [[Disney/WinnieThePooh "Oh, bother..."]]

* NoodleIncident: Sadie mentions the Big Donut having a worker safety lawsuit that got dropped. This may or may not be related to [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim "the accident"]] which previously resulted in the Big Donut no longer making their own donuts, since the dropping means they ''do'' make their own donuts again.

* CavemanVsAstronautsDebate: Amethyst and Pearl starting debating methods of getting Steven down with a jetpack like this.

* NoodleIncident: Sadie mentions the Big Donut having a worker safety lawsuit that got dropped.

* LampshadeHanging: Steven, upon realizing that his floating powers are tied to his emotions, remarks how that's par for the course for his powers.

-->'''Pearl:''' Steven's been up all night!

** [[Disney/WinnieThePooh "Oh Bother"]]

** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid !]]

-->'''Steven''': Okay, what makes me happy? Donuts? No, I'm not going to get any. The beach? No, that's how I'm going to die! Mom? Oh geez, those feelings are complicated!

* SinkOrSwimMentor: Garnet was pretty chill with Steven falling from a fatal height to learn how to control his emotion-powered flight ability. Justified because she was acting out a scenario she saw with her future vision, a scenario that ended in success.

* StrippedToTheBone: Steven imagines he'll die before he lands on the ground, his bones and skull landing on the ground next to the Big Donut.
* TakeOurWordForIt: Steven finds a cake [[ItCameFromTheFridge so disgusting in the fridge that he couldn't even tell that it]] ''[[ItCameFromTheFridge was]]'' [[ItCameFromTheFridge a cake]].

** After being away from the house for a few weeks, all the food in Steven's refrigerator has gone bad.

* MatchCut: Stephen's ImagineSpot ends with his skull shouting "Nooooooo!" as the scene cuts to Steven.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: When he tries to figure out happy thoughts he can use to slow his descent, [[https://youtu.be/8xHfK_mGXkI?t=9m37s Steven personally pushes away a picture of Rose Quartz that appeared when he considered thinking about her]].

* DelayedReaction: When Amethyst sees Steven falling slowly to the ground, she assumes that's normal for Steven and walks back into the house while wondering if Steven has done something like this before. A few seconds later, she realizes this is something new for Steven and runs back outside.

--->'''Pearl:''' Steven's been up all night!

* ShoeSlap: Steven tries to get Amethyst's attention by throwing a sandal at her. When that fails, he throws his other sandal, hitting her on the head.

* TakeOurWordForIt: We don't see the rotten cake, but Steven finds it [[ItCameFromTheFridge so disgusting that he can't even tell that it]] ''[[ItCameFromTheFridge is]]'' [[ItCameFromTheFridge a cake]]!
* ThinkHappyThoughts: Steven does this so he doesn't fall as fast. He has... trouble, at first.
-->'''Steven''': Okay, what makes me happy? Donuts? No, I'm not going to get any. The beach? No, that's how I'm going to die! Mom? Oh geez, those feelings are ''COMPLICATED!''
