The bingo card had Diamond Fusion on it, and it technically happened in yesterday's episode, if only for a second. A diamond did fuse, just with a Pearl.

Technically we already had a Diamond Fusion with Rainbow Quartz

Some people already noticed that the late emerging gem in the flashback is refereed to as 8XM,just like a certain Amethyst!
Noticing? It’s immediately obvious who that was.

I was trying to remember which one Peridot said would have curly hair.

I just realised,since they 'gave' Pearl to Pink shouldn't they able to recognise the Pearl fighting alongside Rose was Pink's Pearl?It's just Pearl's forehead gem is pretty distinctive,and Pink had turn her Gem to conceal her identity,having Pink's Pearl of all Gems join the rebellion would raise a few eyebrows if it was known at the time

Not necessarily. Pearl was just "the help." It's pretty known at this point that nobody pays attention to Pearls, and the Diamond especially would have little desire to do so. Even a higher ranking gem like Peridot was only identifiable to Yellow by her identification number.

If they went to the trouble of making her specifically for Pink such as choosing her colour and Gem placement.then her design would be pretty unique so she would definitely stand out,but as you said not everyone pays attention to the Pearls when their focus is on the Diamond.Could be they were aware that Pink's Pearl had gone rogue but it was'nt widely reported because of how much it would upset Pink when she's facing a rebellion from her Gems AND her personal Pearl

That's what I found amusing from the reveal. Pink greatly altered her shape, size, hair style, outfit, height, skin color, her name and even her gem orientation when she made up her disguise. Pearl.....just slightly changed her hair and dress.

Pink got cosmetic surgery, Pearl put on a fake moustache.

Of course, it could be that Yellow and Blue didn't make the connection because either they really didn't see Pearl as a person and ignored her, or they weren't the ones who gave her to Pink.

I'm so used to the more motherly Pearl that it's really weird for me seeing her act very servile.

I was thinking, if humans are supposed to be THAT puny, how can Connie fight Gems? She was shown to be very capable to with enough training.

Connie has a sword which poofs gems and she's been training,until she faces another Gem who's not corrupted it will be difficult to say

But in general,humans are puny compared to Gems,even Connie,Steven at least has a shield he can summon,he's also durable,Connie loses her sword and suddenly she's in trouble.

Also, where did information about Corrupted Gems being physically much weaker than normal Gems coming from? I don't remember anyone from the show telling that.

I don't think anyone said that. Corrupted Gems are more animalistic in thought whereas a normal Gem has some from of intelligence, the difference between dealing with a wild animal and a trained soldier.

[up][up]Some Corrupted Gems were shown to be capable of fighting Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst at the same time. And even with those who hasn't, Crystal Gems were always going to hunt them as a team and being very careful, which is showing that Corrupted Gems were still pretty dangerous to actual Gems.

I don't remember anyone from the show telling that.
It doesn't need to be said, but it's been repeatedly shown.

Just compare Jasper's durability before and after her corruption. Peridot's spearing would have killed any real animal short of a whale, but uncorrupted Jasper was in a crashed spaceship, buried deep beneath the earth, and punted into the horizon without poofing.

Some Corrupted Gems were shown to be capable of fighting Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst at the same time.
"Some" is the key word. And that's usually because they're huge—hence why I said "they're only about as strong as similarly-sized animals" when you asked how Sadie knocked over the invisible gem monster.

Although I'll admit gems strength compared to humans varies by the needs of the scene. When Ronaldo punched Pearl's open palm, it was like he hit a brick wall, but somehow Topaz is weak enough that Connie could parry her club and it hurt when Sadie bit her (seriously, if you said "Sadie bit a gem", I would have expected her to just chip a tooth).
