Seems unlikely
Didn’t the venom symbiote survive a trip into outer space and back without a host?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersFinally was able to watch this episode, and damn. Interesting to see that the Diamond's Heel–Face Turn reversed their powers too, and also that their new powers are still not entirely unproblematic. Yellow is still modifying people's bodies, even if she's doing so with their consent, Blue is still influencing other's emotions, and White is enabling other people to use her size and power. After what happened last episode, I was seriously scared that Steven was going to shatter White Diamond at the end there.
Also, don't be mean to someone who just said they were "majorly depressed". I don't think Steven committing suicide is likely at all, but that's no excuse to be harsh and mean.
Well, Yellow was the only one who's old powers were directly focused on doing physical harm to Gems. It makes sense that the reverse would be physically making them better. Another thing I caught onto is that the Diamonds have basically become therapists now. Yellow is a physical therapist, Blue is an emotional therapist, and White has become a spiritual therapist.
This episode also gave us some top-tier Steven reaction faces, especially to White.

...Dangit, I was going to wait for Friday, but I guess there was no escaping it.
Still, with different circumstances, Steven seeing other Diamonds turning to healers would have been pretty wholesome episode...
I assure you, I'm perfectly trustable personSo when Steven is inevitably overcome with this confusion and anger about what he really wants and has to address it, I think it would be a nice call back to Rose's Room with a tiny whale asking him 'What do you want, Steven?'
Seems like his frustration is his gem half not meshing mentally with his human half concerning job function. Gems pop up out of the ground knowing their existence's job. Steven isn't handling inevitable change well, which is normal for humans, but it's worse with his gem unable to comprehend that either. And this perhaps got worse after they were separated in Change Your Mind, essentially waking up Pink Steven and now he can't be put back.
Or perhaps he's still sad over cookie cat, whichever.
-Witty line-Quit the show for sure...if he was sad due to that.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Better yet, how about him getting help from The Greater-Scope Villain herself, Evil McHorribleBastard aka Pink Diamond aka Rose Quartz?
5x
As Bookends to the series, Cookie Cats are reintroduced and Steven is happy again.
Letting ignored people temporarily live a power fantasy isn't as useful as was what Yellow and Blue are doing, but it's still fairly constructive.
"Homeworld Bound" is now on YouTubeTV, and presumably other internet television services.

According to the credits, the two gems in Yellow Diamond's room are called Chert (voiced by Michaela Dietz) and Flint (voiced by Kimberly Brooks). I presume the yellow one is Chert and the grey one is Flint; both minerals are quartz-based in real life, so it makes sense for them to be Quartz soldiers.

Specifically, Flint is the gray one, Chert the yellow. The quartz talking about the Zircons was Red Striped Jasper, and the tour guide was Aubergine Pearl.
(I had no idea flint was a type of quartz.)
I was updating the betting pool, and what the shit someone actually called Jemaine Clement as being a guest star back in September.

Did they also guess that he'll be doing yet another David Bowie impression? He's basically making a career out of those now.
Random but Spinel has a bit of a crush on Steven? That...sounds about right. Or is it more of an annoying cousin/sibling kind of thing? I can't really tell...
Still, I love that Steven surpasses Goku in the "close friends that previously hated you or, at worst, tried to kill you" department (don't know the name of the trope but I know there is one for it).
Anyway, "Homeworld Bound" is the first time where Steven as a character is genuinely terrifying. STEVEN. Did anyone else get chills at Zach's line delivery of "Too bad..."?
There is a lot to unpack in the shattering attempt. For one thing, not only is Steven controlling White Diamond but he's also sadistically acting out her terror. It's like he's getting gratification not just from vengeance but also from being totally in control of her helplessness and torture. This is probably the darkest thing this show has ever done.

The trope is called Defeat Means Friendship.
That bit where Steven was in control of White felt more like a dream sequence than anything else.
Y'know looking at how the Diamonds and Steven act, it's clear to me their need to be needed by others is what drives them. As the rulers of the Gem Empire, they were the oppressive tyrants who needed to be perfect to their followers, who looked to them for guidance,!and letting their own flaws show is making themselves be "less" than what they were needed as. The new era has them expressing this desire in a healthier way.
Steven actions after doing everything he's needed to be done, now everyone has moved onwards while he is no longer needed, yet Steven NEEDS to be needed, has him becoming more and more like what the Diamonds used to be.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.What matters for the rest is how much Steven was talking to White versus how much he was talking to himself.

> I am sorry! It was just a joke but it did hurt to say it.
A joke in poor taste since Peter aka Spiderman did not take his own life pointlessly,he sacrificed himself when Uncle Ben got through to him and Peter realised he couldn't properly remove Carnage and jumping into the portal was a last desperate attempt to free himself
My
that carnage perished without a host and Peter ended up somewhere else alive.
