![]() ![]() Lapis laments that if her gem weren't damaged, she could try to get home on her own. Steven points out that the ocean is an important part of his home and that's why he's there to get it back. She looks sadly at the stars and indicates she was only using the ocean to stretch into space far enough to go home. Lapis chastises him for his naiveness over the Crystal Gems in her eyes, they don't care about other Gems as much as they care for the Earth, a planet she never believed in. Lapis demands to know what Steven is doing, but he reverses the question on her, insisting that Gems should all be friends. He steps into the tower of water, and a hand construct lifts him to the tower's apex: the literal edge of outer space. Fight over, Steven declares that he is coming to the top of the tower to see Lapis and asks her not to drown him. The construct dissolves against the shield, and Steven's statement of intent echoes across the battlefield, destroying the other reflection constructs as well. Greg saves them by driving his van through Reflection Steven, dissipating him. Connie and Steven rush into the fray shouting, "Revenge!" Lapis takes them easily, encasing the children's heads in water bubbles. When Lion is thrown into Greg's van, he cries out in dismay. The Reflection Gems, being water, are almost impossible to beat as they re-form themselves after any attack the Gems throw at them. Lion steps up to guard them, then fights Reflection Steven, to no avail. The battle is joined! Pearl warns Steven and Connie to stay back. ![]() Garnet prepares for battle, warning her partners to not get separated when Reflection Garnet punches her far across the ocean floor. Lapis retaliates by generating aquatic reflections of Steven, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. She again demands to be left alone, but Steven says they won't go until she gives back the ocean. Steven attempts to convince Lapis that they're summer fun buddies, but she will not be moved. But because of her gratitude for his help, she gives him a chance to leave. She tells Steven he's one of them, and implies that makes him an enemy. Steven tries to talk to Lapis, but she doesn't want to talk. Amethyst blurts out the truth: that all the monsters they've faced used to be sentient Gems like Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and that the Gems have been bubbling them for want of a way to restore them, but being unable to do so.Īfter driving all day, Steven and company finally find where the ocean has gone: it has been turned into a semi-solid pillar that reaches up into the sky. Pearl says they've been fighting Gems all along, and tries to explain it delicately. ![]() In the course of conversation, Steven mentions that he never thought they'd have to fight a Gem. Garnet bails out of the van without a word upon hearing it and spends the rest of the ride reclining on the van's roof. To pass the time, Greg puts in a hard rock tune he calls one of Rose's favorites. Greg drives with Garnet sitting in the shotgun seat, and Amethyst and Pearl crammed in the back. Connie says she's coming as well, and the Gems naturally insist on joining Steven's quest, ungrounding Steven in the process for stepping up to take responsibility and trying to find a solution. Greg immediately volunteers to come along, despite usually staying behind on Gem missions. Steven declares this his fault, and packs his backpack to set out on a quest to find Lapis, and ask her to give back the ocean. Smiley expresses concern that no one will come to Funland. Lars laments that the girls won't come if there's no beach. All the people Steven has met so far in the season are gathered on the beach Fryman worries that he'll have no customers. Mayor Dewey is in a right tizzy, upset at the loss of vital summer revenue if people won't come to a Beach City that lacks a beach. They arrive at the beach, discovering that the ocean is completely gone, leaving nothing but sand, beached vessels, and junk as far as the eye can see. Before the conversation can continue, a winded Greg bursts through the door and tells the Gems they need to come see something. ![]()
