So, at the end of the last episode, Steven's in some sorta pink room, with Bubbled Gems...

Since Pink is the only Healer, that's what Steven's in the room to do? Forced healings?

...

Will the Crystal Gems meet up with him again? Or a break-out of some kind??

I just took it as White sending Pink to her room to think about what she'd done.

[up] - Makes sense, but what's with the bubbled gems?

I wonder if White is going to be more outwardly upset with Blue and Yellow, or if she's going to keep the same passive façade while subtlety (or not so much) getting the point across that she's less than pleased with them.

She strikes me as the kind of character to express anger or hostility with the same unpredictable and dissonant tone and level of emotion. So that when she really snaps, thats when you know things are going to be bad.

None of those bubbles have any gems in them.

Re: Pink and White switching Pearls, a lot of people have been theorizing something about Pink's original (now White's) being disobedient in some way, so they switched and White was "reprogrammed". Doesn't strike me as particularly likely, but there it is.

I wouldn't be surprised if White's Pearl was originally Pink's that was somehow damaged (such as the theory that Pink gave her conflicting orders), but I'm not sure about our Pearl having originally been White's. Not gonna discount it though.

I'm more willing to buy White Pearl was Pink Pearl more because of her clothing, which is similar to Pink's, than the Gem placement.

The artbook snippet that can be found online does suggest at least Pink had a different Pearl originally. With ours being the "new, sensible Pearl delivered" to her.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Rewatching "Legs From Here To Homeworld," I come back to two things.

One, comparatively minor, is that Bismuth has just the best expressions and reactions whenever she appears. Also, while I don't know exactly how long Bismuth has been unbubbled between "Bismuth" and "Made of Honor," the fact that she picked up on "in the lion's den" has me think that, when all is said and done, she'll be able to adapt to a peaceful life easier than I first thought. She seems to get human culture pretty well.

Two, of all characters, I keep focusing on Yellow Diamond. Blue Diamond, well, she's basically acting like I would have expected of her. YD is interesting, though. For all that she's basically falling right back into the same emotional patterns that she demonstrated with Pink Diamond before (cf. her appearance in the dream sequence in "Jungle Moon"), I'm struck by how basically Yellow is just being strung along with everyone else the whole episode (right up until White Pearl makes it clear White Diamond wants only Steven's presence). She almost seems like a Knight in Sour Armor Lancer rather than one of the leaders of an intergalactic empire. I think she's secretly so relieved that Pink Diamond is alive, in some fashion, that she's willing to just go along with anything Steven says (within reason; I get why she doesn't want to just literally hold Nephrite for the rest of existence)

Adding it all up, and I'm starting to think that Yellow is a massive case of Cannot Spit It Out, about anything. She's never learned any sort of appropriate way of dealing with any emotion whatsoever, positive or negative. For all that Blue's methods of dealing with things aren't particularly healthy (which can be problematic with someone who's a walking Emotion Bomb even when she isn't weaponizing it), at least she knows how to render and express her feelings. So, to make a guess for the future, Yellow's arc is going to be learning how to express those emotions in a healthy manner. And to go back to "Jungle Moon" as foreshadowing, somehow, Connie's mom is going to help her with that.

Mrs Maheschwaran does have a similar, very severe aspect about her, after all. Obviously she's not an intergalactic warlord, but she is similar to Yellow personality-wise.

Also, I should track down "Legs From Here To Homeworld".

It's been fun.

Crazy thought,suppose the reason White doesn't have a visible Gem is that only her creations have physical anchors in a form of precious stones,where as she's a pure being of light/energy and has no need for one,her mural depiction of a Gemstone on her forehead is just what Gems thought her Gemstone should look like it

Though it's more likely White really is a Wizard of Oz style projection as lots of people have already noted,especially with prerecorded sounding voice

Or her gem is in her forehead like the mural portrayed and is just really hard to see because of the light. That's the simplest explanation.

I even think the darker part of her Gem is visible in some shots.

@Omega Radiance: If you're gonna post about that artbook screenshot, you should post it in the leaks thread (if you consider that a leak) or openly (if you don't). Spoiler marks don't hide much of anything in forums.

So I was rewatching a few clips and only just now noticed that in Stevonnie's dream, Priyanka/YD was calling Nephrite. Wondering if it was Centipeedle before she got corrupted...

Didn't Bismuth mention hijacking a ship and scaring the crap out of a Nephrite in her first episode?

Yep,she mentioned lifting one them out of the cockpit of their ship

[up][up]

The way White Pearl just seemed to float and way White seemed to speak through her reminded me of Psycho Mantis,if she does have possession powers I'm half excepting to hear a creepy Hymn the moment we get a demonstration,also,if she does try possessing anyone it will probably crystal gem Pearl,if indeed that's who her original was before she was Pink's,it would be a fitting final battle anyhow,Steven and possibly Connie duels White Diamond possessed Pearl in sword battle

(Before anyone points out that Rose's sword is broken ,they're provided with a sword as a part of a formal duel)
