I could see White Diamond doing that if she realized Steven isn't actually Rose, but rather a human-gem hybrid. Maybe. He's still a Crystal Gem, after all. In the best case scenario he'd end up at the Zoo, but if they discover he has already escaped once, I don't see that happening.
I wonder how Steven and Lars will return to Earth. Hijack a ship? Be returned there by Homeworld forces? Be rescued by the Crystal Gems?
Also, what happened to the Galaxy Warp after all the Peridot and Lapis business there?
I still think it'd be interesting to see a Diamond who isn't actively antagonistic towards Steven, even if they're still villainous overall. I can see something like this play out, if Steven tries to convince them that he's a separate entity from Rose Quartz:
- Blue Diamond doesn't buy it, and wants him punished for what Rose did.
- Yellow Diamond is willing to believe him, but still wants him punished for what he did to her geoweapon.
- White Diamond is also willing to believe him, and considers him an "interesting specimen" who warrants further study.

Funnily enough, back when "The Return" first aired, we were left to assume Jasper wanted to take Steven to Yellow Diamond to find out what the hell he was. In hindsight, it seems it was more about bringing Pink Diamond's killer to face judgement.
Because the Jasper Gem said "...Rose Quartz takes full priority!" that's not what I was assuming at all.
Also, I don't really remember seeing anyone ever bringing that up.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.My guess as to why White Diamond doesn't get much attention, assuming she's not a fusion, is that she's currently responsible for intelligence, and scouting for new planets to conquer, and is either reclusive or so busy conquering planets that she's rarely present on homeworld, or both.
One reason being the only corrupted gem we've seen, that might be part her of court, the Island adventure gem, has cloaking powers. Makes me think that her court is responsible for things like scouting, intelligence, and black ops. Another reason I think this is she seemed to have the most star systems under her mural, which might mean she spends the most time creating new colonies, instead of handling affairs at home.
Would also give them a reason to create Pink Diamond in the first place, if she spends so much time colonizing, Pink could have taken some of White Diamond's work load.

I think that Centipeetle might have been part of White Diamond's court, if only because their hair looks similar.
Oh God! Natural light!Yeah, but that's also Pearl's primary color. I'm not saying she's not, but it's not necesarilly indicative of that, because it seems mostly like it's just part of the Art Shift.

It's funny that we essentially got Garnet and Amethyst's full background before joining the Crystal Gems by the end of season two, but all we've gotten about Pearl's since then was one vague line where she's evasive about the subject.
Although Peridot's comment seem to be a response to Pearl's Giant Waist Ribbon, which Pearl added to her outfit recently.
Hesitated on what line? This line?
That Other 1 Dude already posted the line I was thinking of.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

That's why I hope this bomb doesn't end with the Diamonds letting Steven go.
I want Steven to not only save Lars, but realize that he is not responsible for Rose's actions, and nothing he does is going to cause the Diamonds to offer clemency. IMO, he'll realize what kind of people they are when they go to kill Lars just to hurt him. He may also let is slip that the Cluster is bubbled. And the Diamonds vow to just unbubble it. Perhaps they'll make him watch. They laugh (or maybe just a refined chuckle) when he tries to make a deal to protect Earth and the Crystal Gems. Nothing Steven plans for goes right, and in many ways, makes it worse. No sympathy for Rose or Earth, or the Crystal Gems. Just a Kangaroo Court that either laughs at him or gets furious with him.
