Blue Pearl lunges at Jasper, who is to shocked by the rebellion of such a low gem to react and counterattack, allowing Blue Pearl stab Jasper in the arm. Jasper recoils in pain, snapping her back to reality as she leaps back.

"Traitorous scum!" Jasper roars, summoning her helmet and attempting to strike at Blue Pearl, who avoids her attacks with grace in her movements, but fear in her eyes.

Stevonnie flees around the corner. "What was that!?!" Stevonnie demands to their half.

"I dunno," Stevonnie admits, "I just thought that if she wanted freedom we can her with us, and besides, we needed someone to distract Jasper."

"How are we gonna get Jasper to not shatter her?" Stevonnie demands, the argument causing them to split.

"They know I'm a gem," the other half explains, "we pretend we're friends with her already and get her to play along."

"And Blue Diamond?"

"That's my problem."

With that, the fusion splits, and the duo rush in to stop the fight.

"Jasper!" Steven exclaims, acting surprised.

"Steven!" Jasper rushes to the duo with a huge hug, slamming Blue Pearl into the wall with a powerful swing and out of the way, "Connie! You're OK!"

"Jas!" Steven replies, "how did-"

"I came for you two!" Jasper exclaims, "come on! We gotta go!"

"What about Pearl?" Steven asks.

"What?" Blue Pearl asks.

Jasper drops Steven and Jasper, confused.

"Play along," Connie whispers to Blue Pearl, "and, don't tell Jasper or Peridot about Steven's gem. No matter what."

"Yeah!" Blue Pearl puts on an act, "my friends here, Stephen and Cannie told me all about Earth! I'm helping them escape!"

"Then why attack me?" Jasper demands, "why listen to a Rose Quartz?"

"Uhhhhh..." Steven freezes up.

"We needed the Rose Quartz to have a false sense of security," Connie expands the web of lies, "so we could shatter her."

"This true?" Jasper demands.

Blue Pearl nods.

"Fine," Jasper glares, "but I have my eye on you."

The four begin to leave as Blue Diamond sends out a message over an intercom, "someone! Anyone! Steven and Connie are missing! Find them! Now! If anyone lets them go, I'll have them shattered!"

"We gotta move!" Jasper exclaims.

The four flee down the hall, attempting to escape...

Holly Blue summons her whip, blocking the entrance to the ship.

"You heard?" Jasper sighs.

"Yes," Holy Blue glares, "this ends now! It's time a quartz like you leaned her place!"

"Place?" Blue Pearl asks, "I've been in my place for to long! I've always hated you Holly! The way you treat the guards disgusts me! We may be lesser gems, but we are Gems!"

"Talkative aren't we?" Jasper comments.

Blue Pearl returns to bring timid, "sorry my quartz. I can be quiet. I'm your pearl now. I will do as told."

"Prove your worth," Jasper demands.

"What?" Steven asks.

"Poof Holly," Jasper demands, "or be left here. Prove you are worthy of the wonderful planet that Earth is."

"Are you mad?" Connie demands.

"As you wish," Blue Pearl summons her sword.

"Know your place!" Holly exclaims, "Aquamarine!"

Aquamarine reveals herself from behind the ship, holding her wand.

"Stand back," Jasper summons her helmet, "I'll get the small one."

Jasper leaps at Aquamarine, who strikes with beams from her wand that Jasper narrowly avoids as she charges.

Meanwhile, Blue Pearl lunges at Holly, who wraps her whip around around B.P.'s sword and sends a shock through it, but B.P. is smart enough to let it go before getting shocked. She summons another blade and leaps at Holly who smirks and gets Blue Pearl by the torso, and prepares to go in for the kill...

Steven charges, Jasper distracted and summons his shield, bashing and poofing her.

"You OK?" Steven asks.

"What..." Blue Pearl asks, "what ARE you?"

"Rose Quartz's greatest and final sin," Steven replies, "an abomination. Nothing more, nothing less."

Jasper poofs Aquamarine and grabs Steven and Connie, carrying them onto the ship in a panicked rush, Blue Pearl just getting in before she sets off.

The ride is silent. Jasper doesn't ask about why Steven was there so Steven doesn't tell. When they return, Lapis and Peridot are reformed, and greet Steven with hugs.

"Jasper!" Lapis asks, "you saved him?"

"Speak a word a word to Yellow and I shatter you both," Jasper turns away, ashamed. "I disobeyed orders. We all did."

"Orders?" Steven asks.

"I'll tell you later," Lapis whispers.

"And who's this?" Peridot asks, admiring Blue Pearl, "wow, fancy one."

Blue Pearl, uncertain if she made the right choice timidly stays quiet and turns away.

"Friend of ours," Connie explains.

"She wanted to come to Earth," Steven elaborates, "speaking of which, let me show you around! I'll be back in-"

A sudden aniexty consumes Jasper and she grabs Steven's arm, screaming, "No! I can't lose you again!"

"Jas?" Steven asks. Shocked. He's never seen Jasper afraid like this. He fails to realize that after what happened, Jasper is afraid. Afraid of not being there when Steven is in danger. Not trusting Blue Pearl.

"I will protect him," Blue Pearl explains, "fear not."

"Jasper it's OK," Lapis reassures her, "what harm can a pearl do?"

Jasper lets go and sighs, "I'll be back."

She warps away without another word.

"Come on!" Steven exclaims, leaving with Blue Pearl and Connie...

Jasper stands in the strawberry feild.

"My Diamond," she speaks, "I seek your guidance. I am questioning my loyalties. Give me the strength Pink..."

Jasper looks around the battlefield, remembering all the friends she lost in the war, renewing her resolve, "give me the strength to finish my mission..."

"So," Blue Pearl asks, as the trio walk the boardwalk, "what are my orders my quartz?"

"Don't call me that," Steven firsts.

"I don't think you get it," Connie continues, "you're free here. Truly free. You're not Steven's pearl. You're just... Blue Pearl."

"I don't know how..." B.P. sighs, "to be just... Blue Pearl."

"Well then," Steven smiles, "we'll teach you. Lesson one, you don't belong to anyone. You do as YOU wish."

"OK," Blue Pearl asks, "uhhhhhh... can we-"

"Just do it," Connie smiles reassuringly, "just, do it."

"I wanna try food," Blue Pearl admits.

"Well then," Steven smiles, "let's go eat..."

"GONE?!?" Blue Diamond demands.

"I'm sorry," Aquamarine apologies, "Steven betrayed-"

"Speak such words again and I will shatter you!" Blue Diamond exclaims, "listen to me carefully. You are on thin ice. Follow these orders. If Yellow is to capture Steven..."

Blue smirks, "You are to get Steven back before he is executed, at all costs. Even if it means war..."
