* AnAesop: Just because something has been damaged, even irreversibly, it doesn't mean that there's nothing else worth saving.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Peridot again uses her Kindergartener skills to analyze the hole a Gem came out of, accurately predicting what kind of ''hair'' one of the Amethyst at the Zoo would have, simply from the trace deposits of iron.
* BittersweetEnding: The Kindergarten won’t be habitable for life anytime soon, Peridot still misses Lapis and the barn, and Connie still hasn’t contacted Steven, but upon passing by a field of sunflowers, the trio decide they can rebuild elsewhere.

** Steven, Amethyst, and Peridot take the train to the Kindergarten instead of the warp pad as they did when Amethyst first brought him there, which Peridot lampshades. The soundtrack even plays an instrumental of their song 'On the Run', which they sang in the boxcar on the way there the first time around.
** Peridot moved back into Steven's bathroom after Lapis ran away from Earth and took the barn with her.
** Amethyst gets 8XJ's name wrong, or at least which exit hole is hers.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Peridot's depression over Lapis leaving her and taking nearly everything they have plays out to be like a reluctant divorcee's. She's even crashing at Steven's house, despite his difficulty in hosting her.
* DontExplainTheJoke: Amethyst says Peridot has a "green thumb", and Steven annoys Peridot by pointing out it's true both [[TheGardener figuratively]] and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation literally]].
* TheDragAlong: Peridot agrees to visit the Kindergarten, but is so unenthused that Amethyst finds it necessary to carry her out draped over the shoulder.
* FusionDance: Steven and Amethyst Fuse into Smoky Quartz to defeat the Gem monster.
* GaiasLament: Despite attempts otherwise, the soil in the Kindergarten proves completely incapable of sustaining life and seems to keep actively draining it even with the Incubators deactivated. Plants that are planted perfectly healthy crumble to dust within a ''day'' of taking root, and this is even with the added nutrition of compost brought in from elsewhere.
* HardWorkMontage: A montage shows Amethyst, Peridot, and Steven making a garden in the Kindergarten.
