History Recap / StevenUniverseS5E22MadeOfHonor

-->'''Bismuth:''' Only a Diamond could do something like this. It was Pink, wasn't it? Why didn't Rose ''STOP HER''?

-->'''Bismuth:''' '''''[[ThisExplainsSoMuch IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!]]'''''

* HypocriticalHumor: Bismuth loves making awful puns on her own name, but Steven's suggestion of "Did you Bis-mith me?" gets a LamePunReaction.
** She then doubles down on this trope by using it anyway.

* ThisExplainsSoMuch: When Steven fills in Bismuth on everything that has happened, and about the Corrupted Gems, Bismuth comes to realize how much sense everything that happened between her and Rose makes. What's more, she handles the reveal that Rose was Pink Diamond ''relatively'' better than Sapphire or Amethyst, because it fills in the logical holes.

* EasilyForgiven: While it's not clear she's ''forgiven'' Rose, Bismuth's reaction to learning Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond is to admit Rose was justified in her reaction to the Breaking Point, since it was the very weapon that was made to shatter ''her'', right before her very eyes. Bismuth herself is also easily forgiven by Steven and the other Crystal Gems — although to be fair, Steven is used to befriending Gems who tried to kill him, and Pearl, Sapphire and Ruby are just overjoyed that their old friend Bismuth is back (Peridot is there, too, but doesn't know who she is).

* RegretfulTraitor: After Bismuth learns the truth about Rose Quartz and the gem corruption the "shattering" of Pink Diamond caused, she regrets betraying the Crystal Gems for her own as it turned out that the plan was doomed to fail whoever attempted it anyway.

* WelcomeBackTraitor: After her betrayal in her debut episode, Bismuth returns this episode and reunites with the Crystal Gems after realizing she was wrong.

* EasilyForgiven: While it's not clear she's ''forgiven'' Rose, Bismuth's reaction to learning Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond is to admit Rose was justified in her reaction to the Breaking Point.

** Steven suggests that, when Bismuth sees the others, she greets them with a Bismuth pun like she usually does, coming up with "Did you Bis-mith me?" on the spot, which only gets him a LamePunReaction in response. When she actually does greet the other Gems at the end of the episode, that is exactly the line she uses.
* BrokenPedestal: Steven tells Bismuth that the Crystal Gems "won't side with Rose anymore", though what this means is unknown.

* ApologyGift: Bismuth on Steven's suggestion makes wedding rings for Ruby and Sapphire as a peace offering. They hug her tighter and say they love the rings.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Bismuth notes on how she thought shattering a Diamond would resolve matters before noting on how Rose/Pink actually took the advice, apparently never having considered while forging the Breaking Point how Yellow and Blue would react.

** Steven's love of weddings that caused the events of "Open Book" returns, as Steven reveals he's been obsessively putting together a wedding planner for ''his entire life''.

* ForgivenButNotForgotten: It's more Not Forgotten But Forgiven. The other Crystal Gems did not forget that Bismuth had tried to kill Steven, but when she returns to them as redeemed, they forgive her.

* LimitedSocialCircle: Lampshaded when Peridot complains they've been spending all day mailing wedding invitation, but Amethyst points they just finished, with a whopping ''ten'' envelopes[[labelnote:note]]That's one each for the Millers, the Frymans, the Pizzas, the Maheswarans, the Deweys, Onion's family, Mr. Smiley, Andy, and Jamie, plus one extra--possible for Lars and the Off Colors, even if they don't expect them to get to Earth in time to make it. [[/labelnote]].

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Bismuth assumes all of the bubbled gems in the temple are others who refused to follow Rose. It's not until after she frees one of them that she learns what they are.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Steven tells Bismuth that she was right about Rose's war strategy making no sense - just not for the reason she had assumed.

* BigOMG: After Steven tells Bismuth the truth about Pink Diamond and Rose, she dunks her entire head into lava and starts screaming, and when she finally emerges, yells, "OH MY GOD! It all makes sense now!"

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: According to Bismuth, Biggs was "beloved by everyone". She's also the Gem Bismuth tries to free first.

* BigNo: PlayedForLaughs when Steven tells Bismuth about Ruby and Sapphire splitting up, [[IronicEcho because]] [[ShipperOnDeck they're her favorite couple]].

* EasilyForgiven: While it's not clear she ''forgave'' Rose, Bismuth's reaction to learning Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond is to admit Rose was justified in her reaction to the Breaking Point. Bismuth herself is also easily forgiven by Steven and the other Crystal Gems — although to be fair, Steven is used to befriending Gems who tried to kill him, and Pearl, Sapphire and Ruby are just overjoyed that their old friend Bismuth is back (Peridot is there, too, but doesn't know who she is).

* RightForTheWrongReason: Steven tells Bismuth that she was right about Rose's war strategy making no sense - just not for the reason she had assumed.

* BlatantLies: After Steven tells Bismuth everything about Pink Diamond, she cheerily claims to be fine after hearing it, only to excuse herself so she can dunk her head into the nearby lava pool and start screaming for a good 6 seconds.

* BigOMG: After Steven tells Bismuth the truth about Pink Diamond and Rose, she screams into the lava nearby, and when she emerges, she yells, "OH MY GOSH! It all makes sense now!"

* BlatantLies: After Steven tells Bismuth everything about Pink Diamond, she cheerily claims to be fine after hearing it, only to excuse herself so she can scream into the nearby lava pool.

* ReformedButRejected: Invoked. Bismuth accepts her actions were wrong, but worries the Crystal Gems won't accept her back since she tried to kill Steven. Ultimately, they do.
* RegretfulTraitor: After Bismuth learns the truth about Rose Quartz, she regrets betraying the Crystal Gems for her own goals after realizing why it wouldn't work.

** The orange corrupted Gem from "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E17GemHunt Gem Hunt]]" is briefly unbubbled by Bismuth, revealed to be the Biggs she had mentioned in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E20Bismuth Bismuth]]". Being forced to poof and rebubble them leads to Steven finally informing Bismuth of rverything that has come to light.

[[/labelnote]].

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: According to Bismuth, Biggs was "beloved by everyone".

** When Bismuth hears that Garnet unfused, she moans that they were her favorite couple. Just like Steven did last episode.
** Like Peridot, Bismuth initially misunderstands the purpose of the Burning Room due to lack of context.

* CrazyPrepared: Steven's wedding planner book not only has an option for Ruby and Sapphire's request for fire and dolphins, Steven knows exactly what page to check for it. When Sapphire asks how long it took Steven to put the book together, Steven answers "his entire life."

* EasilyForgiven: While it's not clear she ''forgave'' Rose, Bismuth's reaction to learning Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond is to admit Rose was justified in her reaction to the Breaking Point. Bismuth herself is also easily forgiven by Steven and the other Crystal Gems -- although to be fair, Steven is used to befriending Gems who tried to kill him, and Pearl, Sapphire and Ruby are just overjoyed that their old friend Bismuth is back (Peridot is there, too, but doesn't know who she is).

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Steven attempts to surprise everyone with Bismuth's return by having them all turn around and have Bismuth reveal herself. But Bismuth doesn't come out when Steven gives the signal because she has left for her forge and thus everyone just turns around to see nothing.

* FreezeFrameBonus: One of the gifts Steven suggests to Bismuth on his phone is "Elite Meat Beat Mania", the game Garnet played in "Arcade Mania".

* HypocriticalHumor: Bismuth loves making awful puns on her own name, but Steven's suggestion of "Did you Bis-muth me" gets a LamePunReaction.

* InternalReveal: Steven tells Bismuth about how he learned Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz are the same person. It is still unknown if Peridot has also been told, however.
** Double-Subverted. Steven wanted to surprise everyone with Bismuth's arrival, only for her to warp off to the Forge to be alone with her thoughts while she works. Steven eventually convinces her to come back, allowing for a proper reveal to happen.
* {{Irony}}: Bismuth aknowledges that Rose bubbled her because she thought that shattering a Diamond would have led to victory, only for Rose to [[MetaphoricallyTrue technically]] do the same thing with catastrophic results.

--> '''Bismuth:''' Did you Bismuth me?

--> '''Ruby:''' If you want to drink the cow, you got to put a ring on it.

* PunBasedTitle: From "Maid of Honor", along with Garnet declaring herself to be "made of love" when fighting Jasper.

** Bismuth remarks on how she thought just shattering the Diamonds would fix their problems before noting on the consequences of what did happen.

--> '''Bismuth:''' '''''[[ThisExplainsSoMuch IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!]]'''''

--->'''Steven:''' Ruby said she wanted your reunion as Garnet to be special. And there's nothing more special ''(wipes away tears)'' and romantic than a beautiful wedding!

* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: Bismuth soaks her feet in lava and invites Steven to join in. He politely declines, pointing out he's not lavaproof.
