    My favorite part was the "Liar!"

    edit: In general P-Dot gets an A+ rating during these episodes.

    No seriously, wakes up in the forest on his back, is confused, dog comes up, runs through forest and finds surprising stuff.

    LOST

    No I don't.

    Steven finally
    learned how to control his plant minons, also has super empathy powers and dream possession?

    I mean
    Rose was supposed to be like... Super Powerful? I mean that's not why other gems followed her but it's a part of why they all didn't end up dead.

    I was just rewatching earlier episodes and
    Steven show off his dream powers in the episode where they are trying to sleep and basically inhabits Malachite's mind.

    My favorite part
    The unintelligible rousing speech.
    "Wraaah! Wrarararawarara!"

    Steven's already presumably inheriting some impressive powers compared to the other gems his personality seems ideally suited to using them. And fortunately he hasn't fully grasped many of them so there's no going back wondering why he didn't use ability X in Y situation.

    Not a reply to anything specific. The writing is just pretty well thought out.

    One more thing...
    this was probably originally the season 2 finale, since it resolved both malachite and the cluster. It's just season 3 already for weird business/economics reasons

    Spoilers for the leaked clips
    Im thinking that In To Deep in its entirety is the finale. Stuffs about to get way worse.

    I didn't open that spoiler last night because I thought you were talking about legitimate theories and I tend to avoid those so as not to influence my expectations of upcoming episodes

    I'm glad I have since opened that spoiler

    hahahahaha

    we'd never spoil you with that much steven universe at once

    in fact even for suggesting it we'd better put things on hiatus

    thanks for watching see you in 2019!

    I imagine it will happen when they get to season 3 (even though we're "in" season 3, these were still season 2 production episodes)

    I think that traditionally in a story like this she would either get killed or turn her back on them

    But SU has shown a willingness to buck that stuff in favor of "just this once everybody lives" type stuff which I love it for so I hope I'm wrong

    I dunno, shes seen homeworld and was scared by it, she tried to warn and protect stephen, and decided that shes going to fight for her freedom. She may not trust the gems at this point, but I think she would reluctantly join unless the circumstances of her being 'mirrored' were much rougher and directly involving the gems then we think. Unlikely since if it was, she probably wouldnt have trusted stephen, she would have just used him to escape then not give a shit.

    I think its more likely that she joins and then sacrifices herself

    Her figure has been such a tragic one that that's the vibes I'm getting off of her

    Eh...its still a kids show at its heart, I don't really see true death coming into it, only the suggestion of it. She might choose to leave and be on her own, but death i dont see.

    The show has explicitly talked about the deaths during the gem war

    the cluster is the broken bodies of fallen gem soldiers

    oh yeah I'm guessing we're going to see one of the team member gems "die" during the show

    but steven's special human/gem healing powers will save her

    that doesn't mean her resurrection will happen immediately, though

    Thats all within the realm of a kids show. The cluster is pieces of 'gems' not 'people' according to tv studio logic, 'talking about deaths long ago' is okay as long as everyone sees that when they 'die' their gem is still around. Even if its broken, they can see some kind of twisted logic that they arent dead...a little glue and voila!

    I like to think that this show is ultimately optimistic enough that Lapis will have a happy ending.

    We've already had a moment where Lapis sacrificed herself for the greater Steven's good. And if Sworn to the Sword and Chille Tid are any indication, Steven does not like people sacrificing themselves for him. And Steven is good at finding other options to bad situations.

    I think she'll be fine. Somewhere else. Away from the crystal gems.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the way this plays out is that Lapis and the Gems become friends, but Lapis still leaves to explore Earth and enjoy her newfound freedom. She's gone from being imprisoned in a mirror, to being imprisoned by the Homeward gems, to being imprisoned in a bad fusion. She deserves a break.

    Otherwise it's kind of hard to imagine how Lapis gets integrated into the show on a day-to-day basis. She's so much more powerful than any other gem we've seen - in her first appearance she steals the entire ocean. How do you have her on the team without making the other Crystal Gems redundant? From a story-telling perspective she works better as the back-up they can call when the going gets rough, rather than as a member of the team.

    They could nerf Lapis by explaining away her mega ocean power as being out of control due to being cracked and raging from being trapped.

    Could introduce the idea that the only reason she was able to use such power was that she'd been dormant in the mirror for so long she had built up an overcharge of whatever energy powers the gems.
    But between her flying to Homeworld and her struggles in the fusion with Jasper, she drained her energy reserves to a level roughly equal to the other Crystal Gems.

    she maintained the pillar when she was healed and calm, so that would take quite the bit of explaining.

    As for her being overpowered? Well, they're not always on the beach during missions.
