* DecoyBackstory: Garnet reveals Rose Quartz's backstory; she was a soldier from the Prime Kindergarten who came to realize that Earth was bustling with life of its own and that Homeworld's colonization would leave it nothing but an empty shell. She was brought before Pink Diamond after telling other Gems about the life on the planet, and Rose begged her to spare it; Pink Diamond simply laughed in her face, told her to drop these silly ideas, and get back to work. In response, Rose donned her iconic white dress and began telling her fellow Quartzes about a new idea -- rebellion. It's later revealed that this story is a complete fabrication by Rose herself, to hide her true origins and to inspire other Gems to join her cause. In reality, Rose was actually Pink Diamond, who had come to love the planet dearly, and donned the guise of a common Quartz soldier to forcefully stop Earth's destruction after the other Diamonds refused to listen to her pleas. In a similar vein, Pearl claimed to be an ownerless, renegade Pearl who ran away from her former owner and met Rose on Earth. In actuality, she was Pink Diamond's Pearl.

* ArtShift: Garnet's story uses silhouettes à la ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' for most of the characters, largely obscuring their features. This underlines her UnreliableNarrator status as the history she depicts contains multiple incoherences with events viewers know. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Interestingly enough]], the last part of her story is shown in the usual art style of the show, [[spoiler:because it's the only part that is true to the actual events.]]

** She states that Pink Diamond was shattered by Rose's Sword (which seems to have been the official explanation). But in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E20Bismuth "Bismuth"]], the titular Gem, who forged the sword in the first place, said that it was ''incapable'' of shattering gems. Speaking of Rose's Sword, she is shown wielding it in her right hand in the flashback. Every other time, she's wielded it in her left. [[spoiler: This is actually {{Foreshadowing}} a much later reveal...]]

** Garnet's description of Pink Diamond being entirely contemptuous of earthly life and having a cold NoblewomansLaugh doesn't really add up with Pink keeping humans comfortable and happy in her zoo (which was important enough to her that Blue Diamond saw fit to preserve it and save more humans for it before the Cluster destroyed Earth), and her portrayal in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E12JungleMoon "Jungle Moon"]] as an {{Adorkable}} CheerfulChild and RoyalBrat. She's also bigger than she appears in "Jungle Moon", where she's about Stevonnie's size.

* {{Homage}}: The artstyle as Garnet tells the story of Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond is directly based on the kind ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' used for flashbacks, where all the characters' but their clothes and hair are stark black.



* [[TheKillerWasLeftHanded The Killer Was Right-Handed]]: In Garnet's story about Pink Diamond's death, Rose wields her sword in her right hand... but in actuality, she wielded her sword with her ''left'' hand, holding her shield with her right.



* ShoutOut:
** The shadowplay sequences as Garnet tells the story of Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond are some of the most direct references — quotations, really — of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' in a show replete with them.
** The episode title is a song from ''Disney/PeterPan'' that Wendy sings to the Lost Boys.
