History Recap / StevenUniverseS4E23AreYouMyDad

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Connie tells Aquamarine she'll help find "her dad." Aquamarine replies she doesn't care about "your dad," just "my dad," indicating that the exact phrase is more important than it would seem.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Aquamarine poses as a childlike gem, to appear innocent and helpless to the humans. When she finds the ones she wants, however, she lets the mask slip and calls for the Topaz soldiers to absorb the humans.

* ExactWords: Aquamarine asks "Are you my dad?" She thinks [[spoiler:"my dad" is a name, like Lars, Connie, and Onion due to what Steven told Peridot ages ago. She isn't looking for her father.]]

* OrphannedPunchline: Amethyst drinks a can of ''beans'' because "they're good for the heart", part of the playground saying where the other half is "the more you eat, the more you fart".

* FaceOnAMilkCarton: Sour Cream passes out "missing" fliers for Onion, who disappeared after the events of "Doug Out".

* RedHerring: Connie and Steven come up with theories as to why a child-like Gem ([[BizarreAlienReproduction who don't have parents]]) would be asking humans "Are you my dad?". They wonder if there's another hybrid, but Steven can see she is not. Then they wonder if she was [[InterspeciesAdoption adopted by a human]]. The next episode reveals that Aquamarine is looking for [[WhosOnFirst someone named "my dad"]], and the fact that she looks like a child is just a coincidence.

* BaitAndSwitch: Steven wonders if he has some way to contact Lars remotely, hinting that he may try to use his [[TheEmpath empath]] or DreamWalker abilities. [[MundaneSolution Steven pulls out his cellphone and calls Lars's number]], though that doesn't work.

* CallBack: The Crystal Gems point out that Navy stole back the Roaming Eye in "Room for Ruby", so if the Homeworld Gems take the humans off planet, there will be no way to reach them.

* TractorBeam: Aquamarine has a wand which can fire an immobilizing beam, similar to Syndrome's zero-point energy gauntlets in ''Film/TheIncredibles''.

* BadassInDistress: Although Connie tries to defend herself against the two Topazes, she gets stuck in their fusion very quickly, probably because she didn't expect them to be able to do that.
