I wonder if he's actually occupying his mind or they've switched bodies.

What if the real Lars is actually witnessing all this playing out, and he can do nothing about it?

Well, at least two things.

The others, knowing what Steven is, can't really hold anything against Lars for what happened

And the end there means something positive came of this.

Leremy...Larramy? I couldn't really her what his mother was saying, but he's completely unaware.

I just realized that one of my theories when I heard the title of this episode was true! Steven did become Lars!

Also, I thought that Steven was able to control the watermelon Stevens because of some magic reason, but no. Apparently Steven can just...possess people.

I was really worried how this would play out, but as it stands, I kinda liked it.

Damn that was cringey.

For all Steven has matured, he's still a kid who relies primarily on his emotions so inhabiting someone else's body would have been a disaster no matter what.

[up][up][up]Considering all of the major plot heavy episodes prior to these few, it was to be expected. Besides, its been a while since a lot of the Beach City residents have had any real focus.

We haven't seen Lion ever since Steven was calling for him a few episodes ago. I wonder if he's still missing or if he's just offscreen.

I wonder if Lars' parents were expecting a girl or maybe they were once... HIPPIES.

Recall Mandark, if you will, whose real name was Susan, and his parents were obvious granola gobblers.

Damn I feel bad for Lars. Thanks to Steven, everyone now prefers the kinder empathetic nature he showed & now due to forcing his body awake they think he broke into someone's house & assaulted a kid.

I can't believe you did that! I got as far as when "On The Run" came out, and realized i was only 10% of the way through despite being more than halfway through the show. ...Is it worth it?

I mean, I thought it was worth it. Especially tittering to myself at all the incorrect theories and guesses. But I can also understand someone's reluctance to iron through so many thoughts. Depends on whether you're a thread Determinator or not.

Anyway, woah. That episode was NOT what I expected, but it's a kind of body swap I can dig. At least Matthew Moy got to go big for his return role.

Also, Lars' parents. They exist, and seem like good people.

Not all parents plan their names before birth...they'd always have to be gender neutral.

That was an amusing episode. I love body swap episodes in general, and this was a really fun, if somewhat cringey, one. And I loved that they averted Voices Are Mental.

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

Y'know, on re-watching "Too Short to Ride" I was thinking...

Isn't this kind of a light episode to drop such a major plot point of "Homeworld's running low on resources"? I thought something like that would be major reveal, like the Rubies would come back and accidentally spill the beans.

It's a gender neutral name apparently. Kind of feel like the writers are throwing a bone to the "Lars is totally Trans Gaiz" on tumblr. tongue

No no, we have to save the Ruby Squad's return for the most dramatically inconvenient time. That's how it usually works.

Or they could show up in the middle of the night when Steven's getting a midnight snack. Who knows with Crewniverse. tongue

Edit: [up] When did that theory start cropping up? It could just be Animation Lead Time at work.
