I was thinking of an issue that "Hit the Diamond" mooted only for "Alone at Sea" to make relevant again: Is it a good idea for Lapis and Peridot to stay at the barn? Jasper is after Lapis and the only water source nearby is the hole Steven and Peridot filled with water.

Then I imagined Lapis saw Jasper coming, grabbed Peridot, and flew high up into the air, dodging Jasper every time she tried to jump. Eventually Jasper would leave and come back later, but Lapis saw her coming every time, and eventually Peridot started bringing her tablet up for the Lapis ride and noticing her wireless reception is better.

(And as for how Jasper would find that they're in the barn... well how the hell did she find Lapis last time?)

[up][up]I remembered your comment as if it was reacting to the future.

Does anyone else think that the EMP Pearl tried making in "Political Power" is going to make a return by the end of the season? Like, she somehow was able to improve the technology to the point where it might actually work on Gems (or their technology) this time?

[up]I see that being about as likely as not.

Even if it does show back up, it could be like the Laser Light Cannons, and simply turn into The Worf Barrage.

Jasper is yet another fusion craving rebel that our Corrupted Gems are hiding from HW.

I like the idea of Jasper showing up at the barn and Peridot and Lapis having to confront her without help.

But it'd have to be a situation where Lapis is without water (or too surprised to use it in time), since she basically wrecks everything once she has access, and that might diminish the tension.

I think we're going to be having a villain skill power up soon, such that enemies are going to start being wise to Lapis' powers and bring along ways to get around them, because holy crap does she currently blow everyone else out of the water (wakka wakka) when she gets going.

Pretty much. Jasper caught Lapis flat-footed, and there was no way (probably) for Lapis to call down the thunder without getting poofed or shattered. Lapis is big on hand gestures, too, so an enemy could learn to read those.

Even the slightest hand movement could've worked, really.

I guess that's not exactly the way of the water-bender.

I'd love to see something like that appear on Peri's Twitter feed. Maybe even if she figured out how to use the video options... [lol]

It's a little old now, but I wish to present a theory I saw elsewhere to explain Steven suddenly having his healing powers again at the start of "Monster Reunion". Or specifically, how he'd actually still had them this entire time.

Because think about it: it's been stated multiple times that Steven's powers are connected to his emotional state, and the empathy he feels for the people in his life. He inadvertently corrects Connie's eyesight, fills the crack in Lapis' gem so she can fly home, and heals his dad's broken leg. All of those people share a common thread. Steven has a deep emotional attachment to each of them, even Lapis in the short time he knew her.

But what, in the span between healing Greg's leg and MC Bear-Bear's arm, are the only things Steven has attempted to fix with his spit? The weather geode, and the primary Galaxy Warp pad. Two things it is hard to have an emotional attachment for. Likely, he wouldn't have been able to fix that plate even if Pearl hadn't intervened.

So Steven can heal whatever is broken, but only if he truly cares about it. In that regard, he would still have a ways to go to match his mom's empathy reach.

Makes sense. Rose's were tears after all. That definitely shows an emotional connection to what she's healing.

I still really hope Peridot runs into Jasper alone and has to pretend to have never defected. It's just such a great opportunity for dramatic tension, it'd be a shame to miss it.

How can we see this from Steven's point of view? Well the obvious route is for him to be hiding nearby, like when Peridot called Yellow Diamond. Another way is for the initial encounter to occur offscreen, and an episode starts/ends with the others unable to find her—until Steven looks at his phone and notices his inbox suddenly flooded with e-mails.

Even the slightest hand movement could've worked, really.
Jasper was still closer, and her attention was directly on Lapis, unlike on the ship.

They don't have any arms! (Thanks for remind me of that line!)

I mean if she could've directed the water fast enough with slight hand movements to squeeze Jaspee and that stops her from being able to poof her.

She only had Lapizuli by the wrist...who could've hid her other hand behind her back.

Lapis doesn't need to move her arms at all to control water, the problem was that Jasper would have poofed her before it would have reached.

She doesn't? She's only ever moved water with gestures of the hand or arm.

But, I guess you "can" hear water, so that plan is a bust.

Peridot and Jasper are both defects on the run from Homeworld. The only difference is that Yellow Diamond would shatter Jasper instantly for her deviancy, while taking great pleasure in the slow interrogation of Peridot.
