Worth noting that the flash of light in that image is surrounded by blue, yellow, and white lights - the colors of the diamonds. (Aside from Pink Diamond)
I was gonna say that's new evidence about Pink Diamond because it shows she was erased from history before the war ended... but then remembered we already knew that. Homeworld certainly didn't vandalize the Sky Arena after they left.

Lovely episode! Nothing terribly exiting, but the show was overdue for some of these, anyway, and it was really nice to finally see Lapis interacting normally with Steven. Until now, we only have seem her in either super stressful situations or in the mirror, it is just now we are getting to actually see how she normally is, which is great.

Basically my opinion.

I think Lapis has pretty understandable circumstances and feelings, honestly, and I love how supportive and understanding Steven was about letting Lapis leave and live on her own terms, which is exactly what's driving her now.

Like, no joke: if Lapis hadn't been in the wrong place at the wrong time, she never would've ended up alerting Homeworld of what happened, everything involving that mess never would've come to pass, and thus the Cluster never would've been bubbled which would've destroyed the planet.

This is so damn heavy to think about.

Did anybody else wince when Lapis got stepped on? Or when she got poofed?

...Did Rose even know about Lapis? I doubt she was one to take prisoners of war, especially in such a shape as she was, and while the Homeworld thought that Lapis was with the rebellion, I'm pretty sure the rebellion would know if it had a Lapis or not.

Man, young-Pearl really was a huge bitch.

Given what we've been shown, it's highly unlikely that anybody over on the CG side even knew it had a Gem imprisoned in it.

[up]No, the suspicion now seems like just general paranoia - up to that point they kept fighting corrupted Gems and didn't know what to expect with the mirror acting like it did, especially Garnet who never wanted to take any chances in that regard.

[up][up] Sure, Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet knew. But Rose doesn't seem the type to keep a Gem cracked and imprisoned in that way.

It's not like they weren't aware of it being a Gem. It's right on the back of the dang mirror.

Pearl's wording leaves an ambiguous impact on my opinion hold.

"I couldn't have imagined that a Gem so powerful was inside that mirror."

I'm glad she finally explained her backstory, though it wasn't much. She just got bitter against the Crystal Gems not because they imprisoned her, but because they gave Homeworld cause to use her.

So she's moving into the barn with Peridot. That'll be fun.

Once they dig Jasper back up out of the dirt they'll have a nice septet. But I can bet that winning over Jasper will take all of Steven's all-loving-heroness.

And she'll definitely have a lot of loyalty to Homeworld and hatred for the Crystal Gems.

Glad we got to see how Lapis ended up in that mirror. The fact that Pearl just found a mirror on the ground one day does take a lot of the blame off them. They didn't put her in the mirror, and until Steven Started playing with it I don't think they knew a gem was even in there. They thought it could only show stuff and didn't have a mind of it's own. Only when it did start to show it had a mind of it's own they were they afraid of it, probably thinking it was a gem loyal to Homeworld. It would be harder to say the Crystal Gems were totally good guys if they had intentionally kept Lapis imprisoned, but it looks like they honestly didn't know, so they weren't malicious about it.

Judging by the way everyone evacuated Earth all panicky like, plus the flash in the sky, it definitely suggests that Homeworld used some super-weapon on Earth to wipe out the Crystal Gems. This is almost definitely what was responsible for all the corrupted Gems.

With Peridot reformed, Malachite broken up and the Cluster taken care of we've eliminated three major threats to Earth and several story arcs that have been floating around for a while. Now the only thing that's an immediate threat is Jasper. Homeworld could rear its head again but if the Gems were to, say, bubble Jasper then things would be just like they were when the series started, with corrupted gems taking top priority. The only difference would be that Lapis and Peridot are around.

What I'm surprised about is that despite that, it seems Homeworld unambiguously lost. You'd think being radically outnumbered would mean that the C Gs only survived, not actually won.

She just got bitter against the Crystal Gems not because they imprisoned her, but because they gave Homeworld cause to use her.

Actually, that is not quite right. That was the original grievance, but the fact the Crystal Gems never took her out of the mirror is still an important factor. "You three knew I was in there. And you didn't do anything" was the first thing Lapis said to them, after all. They mught not be who imprisoned her, but they did kept her prisoner nonethelessnote . Also, she was originally in the Homeworld camp, so she never had a positive opinion on the CG in the first place. It was not just some misdirected bitterness.

Like, no joke: if Lapis hadn't been in the wrong place at the wrong time, she never would've ended up alerting Homeworld of what happened, everything involving that mess never would've come to pass, and thus the Cluster never would've been bubbled which would've destroyed the planet.

That is not quite right either. Lapis never told Homeworld what happened. It was Peridot, who came independently, who actually alerted Homeworld. Lapis was found out after the fact. So even if the whole mess with Lapis never happened, Peridot would still have come to Earth and possibly warned about the Cluster regardless (the events would have happened differently, though, so who knows how would have went out?).

Alright guys, this is gonna be a heads up for anyone hoping not to be spoiled: On May 21st, Barn Mates and Hit the Diamond are gonna be airing in France, and Steven Floats is gonna be airing on May 22nd. Because of that, if anyone decides to watch them before they air in the US, discuss them in the Spoilers and Leaks thread and don't discuss them here for people who don't wanna see them until they air in the US.

Short Run in Peru, more or less. Adventure Time had that happen last season with the episode Evergreen.
