Welp, Peridot finally got her gem power!

All she needs next is a gem weapon.

Good to know that Peri-bo-berry will be visiting the temple. I was worried we wouldn't see her for awhile while she was futzing around on the farm.

It's so strange to have Peridot drop such a crucial piece of information about Homeworld so casually. Usually the revelation ties into the episode more. Although it was a pretty easy guess that Homeworld has a resource problem, given the Kindergartens.

I really like it too Peri.

Show off that swagger.

A flat chest is a status symbol. A rarity.

Ame is hot like that.

Peridot poops for the first time.

Peri has a crush on a plush.

Poor Mr.Smiley. oh god.

Thanks Onion.

His clothes and his toothbrush.

You tried, Ame...

"I don't like this because I'm bad at it." Me too Peri.

All rightey then. Cool.

Cute episode, Iike that Amythist was actually being supportive of Peri.

Also dat sudden lore bomb I guess that explains why YD only sent Rubies after them in "Hit the Diamond"...

Peridot didn't save Earth just so she couldn't win a stuffed "animal".

Peridot feeling inadequate was the main conflict of the episode.

So this does confirm that Peri is a newer Gem. And that Homeworld was running out of resources to make more Gems. I wonder why that is? Did they deplete that much life from other planets that they've been having trouble finding more planets to exploit?

Maybe the lack of resources explains why the Homeworld Rubies that came over were so stupid. They might have been new, too.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Oh no, those poor, dear Rubies...Between them and Peridot they may be making gems dumber, smaller, and weaker but mostly cuter...so moe. evil grin

Oh boy, yeah Leggy is prooooooooooooobably deficient in some way, or at least on paper. I say on paper because Peridot had NO idea she had TK abilities.

I love Zuke's messy hair Amethyst.

Cute episode with some funny moments from both gems and humans, and some new lore and new Character Development plus new powers for Peri.

Those fingers make a lot more sense now...actually.

Huh, nice catch.

I think she was mostly talking about their home planet itself running out of resources, and that "she doesn't have powers" because she was made there. Which makes a lot of sense after mining it for thousands of years.

According to her it was...because...she needed...machin-*GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP* THEY LIED TO HER! Era 2 Peridots may be just as powerful as classic ones, but they TELL them that they are worthless to keep them in line!

Wait, if Homeworld is running out of resources, why does Yellow Diamond want to destroy Earth?

It must be something really personal if she's willing to destroy something so valuable.

Peridot feeling inadequate was the main conflict of the episode.

Yeah, but the Homeworld having a resource problem doesn't directly tie into Peridot having self-esteem issues. An episode addressing why they're running roughshod over space would be along the lines of what I'm thinking of.

I'm glad Peridot was able to save her tablet. Would've been a shame for her to lose another gift from Steven.
