Sapphire arrives in The Temple. She uses her future vision to find the bubbles where the others are and pops their bubbles. Ruby is the first to reform.

"Ruby!" Sapphire exclaims, hugging her.

"Sapphire!" Ruby cries tears of joy, "heh, never thought you'd be saving your own guard huh?"

The two laugh and fuse. Amethyst reforms. Pearl though, she doesn't reform. Garnet checks many futures, and doesn't see one where Pearl reforms anytime soon.

"Listen," Garnet explains, "here's our plan. We need to get Steven back, so, we go outside, fuse, and head to Ocean Town."

"Wait," Amethyst asks, "you don't mean..."

"Yes," Garnet replies, "we need Sugilite..."

Meanwhile, Connie arrives in Ocean Town. The gems are still gone, Lapis has yet to return. It's just Steven and Connie on the beach.

"Steven!" Connie waves, smiling.

"Connie!" Steven replies rushing to her, "you have to go! Now!"

"I just got here," Connie replies, "what's wrong?"

"There's some bad gems," Steven replies, "one of them escaped their bubble, and they're gonna come back here. You have to go before they arrive."

"How did this happen?" Connie asks.

"There's no time to explain," Steven replies, "I'll just call you when it's safe."

"Steven," Connie sighs, "you don't need to worry about me. To be honest, I'm more worried about you."

"What do you mean?" Steven asks.

"I mean," Connie replies, "you always try to do everything alone. Why do you do that? You have the gems, so why do you try to work alone?"

"There's some things the gems can't know," Steven explains, "see, there's this group, the Crystal Gems, they keep trying to kill me and my family. There's also Rose, Rose Quartz, this sword is her sword."

Steven hands Connie the blade so she can examine it.

"Now," Steven continues, "everyone knows Rose Quartz was evil, but, then I found this."

Steven shows Connie the tape.

"It's from Rose," Steven continues, "and I need to know what's on it without the gems finding out, and don't even get me started on everything else. The sheild, the bubbles, most of them don't know. Jasper knows nothing, Peridot knows a little, and Lapis is the only one who has any real idea, but even she doesn't know about the tape."

"Wow," Connie replies, "I'm sorry that you have to deal with that."

"It's fine," Steven replies, "it's not like you can do anything anyways."

"Steven," Connie asks, "are you gonna be OK?"

There are screams from the boardwalk as a massive purple gem approaches.

"Oh no!" Steven exclaims, "that's bad! Connie! Run!"

Steven summons his shield and dashes at the massive gem.

"Steven wait!" Connie yells, chasing after him.

Steven stops as citizens flee from Sugilite.

"Kid!" A citizen yells, "listien, you can't beat that thing! Run!"

"It's here for me," Steven replies, "don't worry about me. If I don't make it, just know... I appriacate you guys accepting me these last few weeks."

Steven stands in from of his titanic foe, afraid, but hiding his fear.

"Steven!" The gem roars, "where are the others?"

"You a fusion?" Steven asks, "Sapphire? You part of this?"

"Call me Sugilite kid," Sugilite smiles, "now, listien, you have to come with me. We can show you the truth. Come with me, come back to Beach City."

Sugilite extends one of her arms, offering to carry Steven.

"What do you mean back?" Steven asks, "not that it matters. You just destroyed the boardwalk. Leave now, or else."

Sugilite laughs.

"Kid," Sugilite chuckles, "you do realize what you're facing, right? I'm a fusion. While it's not a weapon thing, it does..."

Sugilite summons her wrecking ball.

"Have certian benefits," she finishes, "so you wanna do this the hard way?"

"Guess so," Steven replies.

Steven throws his shield, knocking off Sugilite's glasses.

"You don't get it," Sugilite asks, "do you? I'm strong. You? You're nothing!"

Sugilite slams her mighty wrecking ball into what's left of the boardwalk, sending Steven flying. He lands with a loud thud, and struggles back to his feet.

"Steven!" Connie rushes to him.

"Stay back!" Steven yells, "she's insane!"

"Steven," Connie replies, "come on. We have to go."

"I have to stop her," Steven replies, "before the gems find out. This is my fault, I was interrogating a Crysal Gem that escaped. That, that's a fusion that that particular gem is part of."

"You don't have to face her alone," Connie replies extending her arm, "let me help you."

Steven grabs Connie's hand. The two smile, and, in that moment, accidentally fuse.

Garnet is so proud of Steven, seeing him fuse not for power, but for something greater. Amethyst however, considers the possibility that they could be in trouble. The conflicting emotions cause Sugilite to split.

Garnet quickly scans potential futures. There's no way both her and Amethyst get out of this.

"Amethyst," she demands, "I've looked at the futures, and, I can't escape this. Go back to The Temple, I'll buy you time."

"I can't just abandon you!" Amethyst replies, "I'll be alone again! Like... like when I first formed."

"You'll have Pearl," Garnet reassures Amethyst, "don't worry. I can handle this."

"Steven what did you do?" Connie asks.

"Did I say that?" Steven asks, "is this fusion?"

"You can do that?" Connie asks.

"I guess," Steven replies, "come on! We can take them!"

"What about the purple one?" Connie asks as Amethyst flees, looking back for a moment.

"Later," Steven replies, "come on!"

Stevonnie picks up Rose's sword and summons their sheild.

"You hurt my friends," Stevonnie growls, "Steven, the gems, we both have reasons to strike you down. Come on Garnet, let's end this."

"We don't have to fight," Garnet explains, "just back away, unfuse, and we'll leave."

"Hard way," Stevonnie, "or the harder way. Your call."

"It was worth a shot," Garnet sighs.

Garnet lunges with her gauntlets, Stevonnie blocks with their sheild, pushing Garnet back, leaving her wide open to a sweeping kick. This allows Stevonnie to finish Garnet off with a clean stab to the chest.

Just before she poofs, Garnet says one last thing.

"You won't shatter me," she smiles, "cause you're just like her. Some things never change. When you know the truth, Steven, head home, head to Beach City. Until then, this is goodbye."

Garnet poofs.

"What now?" Connie asks.

"Let me try this," Steven replies.

Stevonnie unfuses.

Steven bubbles Sapphire and Ruby.

"We'll handle the purple one later," Steven explains, "don't tell the gems about this."

"Wouldn't dream of it," Connie replies.

"Great," Steven replies, putting the sword and bubbles in his backpack.

"Sorry you had to see... all this," he sighs, "if you wanna leave, I understand."

"That was awesome!" Connie exclaims, "but Steven, you never did answer. Are you gonna be OK?"

Steven holds the tape.

"It all depends on what's on this tape," Steven replies, "this thing has all the answers.

"I have an old video player at my place," Connie replies, "I'll bring it next time."

"Thanks," Steven replies, "for everything."

Connie smiles and hugs Steven "Remember," she reminds him, "I'm always here for you."
