Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem is a good one. Definitely not the pilot, as it'll work on half of people and push the other ones away for sure.

The important thing is that Greg will likely suffer the legal consequences of Pearl's actions, due to the car being under his name. Pearl wasn't caught but the cop likely has images or video of the license plate.

All they have to do is call Greg and tell him to report the car stolen. The cops will find it abandoned, tank empty, in an out-of-the-way area and assume it was a simple joyriding incident, with little motive to pursue further. A couple rounds of paperwork later and Greg has his car back with law enforcement none the wiser.

Yeah, but then they have to walk all the way back to Beach City from Ocean town. That's gotta be rough.

I guess they don't have much of a choice now that I think about it actually.

There's probably a convenient warp pad nearby.

Now, if only it worked for Greg...

The gems have shown to be able to jump an arbitrarily large distance in a single leap (not just Rose/Steven).

wild mass guessPearl and S will have a happy, fulfilling relationship.

Then, S will meet Greg...

When was the last time we saw Greg in his regular outfit? I want to say Mr. Greg.

I figured Steven was going to use his floating powers.

Now that he can access the float spell, he can jump with them...

He can probably jump the farthest too.

Yeah, it was hilarious and awesome, but Amethyst turning into a functional helicopter was all kinds of Strong as They Need to Be.

"Greg the Babysitter". I think maybe he's started buying more new clothes since he got rich, though his outfit this episode was the same as "Beach City Drift".

She turned into a car before...a kid sized car, she's no Jake, but it still worked.

Then, S will meet Greg...
Y'know it's kind of weird they don't really go into how Greg deals with Rose's death and his love life more. You'd think he'd have his own problems to deal with there, but he really just seems content. On the other hand he was sad when Rose came up in Mr.Greg. And Steven thought he needed someone to talk to about it. I feel like we're getting mixed messages here.

Perhaps it's just him being Out of Focus, but maybe Greg's afraid of finding someone new too, and we just never get to see it, because Steven doesn't see that side of him that often.

wild mass guessOr maybe the beginning of this episode was implying he's dating Sadie's Mom, and he just hasn't told Steven about it yet.wild mass guess

Going back to the topic of Pearl's interest in S., I don't think it's inherently problematic because infatuation is intrinsically arbitrary—do you think Steven should have said "Your feeling are wrong/creepy"? It's only a cause for concern if Pearl pretend she's more like Rose than she really is.

I don't know what it is about road trips and concerts that make for such interesting stories, but they do.

Yeah I don't see how it's a problem that she's attracted to similar appearances. That's just kind of... normal.

No it wouldn't, either way. You're attracted to what you're attracted to. As Other Dude said that's only a problem if she's seeing Rose's personality in S, where there isn't.

It might not even develop into a relationship. It might just be what breaks the ice, and lets Pearl be open to being in a relationship with someone. And that's fine.

I was just gonna say, S is probably not going to be anything like Rose in personality.

And honestly going for someone just because they're completely different from your last crush/love or relationship isn't always good either, that was the problem with my brother's second ex-wife.

Good episode. Pearl was cool in it. S. seems... nice? Not much to read on her character. Also, Pokemon is still the reigning champion of the 'fastest fans' contest: there are handmade plushies, created mere minutes after a trailer reveals the inspiration. PLUSHIES. The Pokemon fanbase honestly scares me with how fast they work.
