    Gundi, do you mind putting that baby comment in spoilers? It's a little specific for an episode that just aired.

    EDIT: Thanks!

    I hope they flesh Vidalia out more sooner or later

    or at least tell us how she became friends with Greg

    It seems self explanatory. Marty ditched her and Greg felt responsible. It eventually became a friendship. If I had to guess he introduced her to Yellowtail

    Pearl subconsciously wants Greg to be burned alive.

    Or consciously wants Greg to be burned alive.

    That episode was such an interesting part of their lives.
    rhe way all of them seemed like they were still in denial about Rose, and just really wanted there to be a way for her to come back. It was such a specific but important part of their backstory.

    Also, I like how Greg is not allowed to flashback without a song.

    One thing that's important here (which was already kind of apparent but is now completely explicit) is that
    Rose didn't tell them shit. Or, like, help them deal with things or give them closure or anything. She just kind of buggered off and left them in the lurch.

    To be fair
    We've seen exactly how much Rose knew about babies, it's not like she'd have much to tell them there.

    This is probably around 4-5 years after that, so it's safe to assume that she learned a few things since then. But I don't mean teaching them about baby stuff, I meant helping them cope with the loss. I'm not convinced she understood that they would even feel it as a loss.

    As strange as it sounds in contrast to her reputation, I think Rose actually had a really weak sense of empathy. I mean, she wanted to be empathetic--she worked really hard at it, and was fascinated by the idea of other perspectives--but there's no evidence that she ever had any real comprehension of the effect she had on the people around her. You see that here with her total inability to prepare the gems to deal with the grief of losing her to Steven, and you see it all over the place in the condition she left poor Pearl in. It's like they said in Mr. Greg: she just did what she wanted. Assumed that if she wanted something then it must be a Good Thing that everyone will be fine with.

    Pretty good episode.
    From what I heard others saying about it I was expecting the Pearl thing to be way worse. But now I just think they were over reacting.

    The Crystal Gems are still bad for living on a planet for 1000s of years and learning bupkis about its flora and fauna tho.

    She also may just not have any idea what was going on, and the whole calm facade thing was a facade.

    Dang. I thought I remembered there being a shot of Pearl dramatically crying with her face in her hands that I especially liked, but it turns out that "Steven Universe Pearl crying" is a REALLY hard image search to narrow down.
