We know she's out there somewhere. She came to Earth with a job to do and odds are, she's still gonna try to do it. That's why I've gathered you here. (Steven, Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst are then shown folding Steven's t-shirts.) Steven: I thought it was so you can help me fold all this laund-a-ry! Garnet: That too. The chore wheel idea you had fell apart fast. Amethyst: Wasn't me. [Shot of Steven's fridge with chore wheel that has Pearl's name on top of every segment, with every other name crossed out] Pearl: I just really enjoy doing all of those things. Garnet: It's better if we do them together. Amethyst: Humans should just stop wearing clothes, be a lot funnier. Steven: Hey! I'm a civil-i-fied part human, thank you very much. Clothing is a must. Hm... this is a lot. I bet this folding would go faster if Ruby and Sapphire were here! Garnet: I'm sure they'd be glad to see you Steven. But I am not unfusing for laundry. Steven: Aw. Pearl: Garnet, you don't think Peridot would come looking for us, do you? Garnet: We weren't her priority. She was sent here to do something in the Kindergarten. Pearl: Do you think she's still going to try to reactivate it? Garnet: Mmm... If she gets it back up and running, the injectors will turn back on. Steven: Injectors? What're those? Pearl: You've already seen them. Well, you've seen them disabled. If Peridot reactivates them, *projecting a hologram from her gemstone* they'll pick up right where they left off, planting Gems in the crust of the Earth, where they'll incubate and suck the life right out of the ground, we can't let Peridot restart Gem production here, if we do, the entire planet will become.... Garnet: (Garnet finishes Pearl's sentence) Janked. Amethyst: Garnet, that mouth! Garnet: Don't worry, we'll stop her. C'mon, Crystal Gems. Pearl: Coming! Amethyst: As long as we don't have to fold anything. Garnet: Steven. Amethyst: C'mon, that means you too, right? Garnet: You're a civilified part-gem too after all. Pearl: Garnet, are you sure we should bring Steven? This might be dangerous. Garnet: Peridot's got nothing we can't handle. [Trans. Ext. Kindergarten] Pearl: *projects flashlight from gem* Well, nothing looks activated. In fact, i-it doesn't look like anything's budged since the last time we were here. Garnet: You're right. But just because Peridot hasn't been here yet, it doesn't mean she won't come. Steven: Hm. Garnet: Let's do a thorough check of the perimeter. Steven: Mmhm. Garnet: That way, we can monitor any future entry. Steven: Hmm, sounds good to me! (Steven wanders around, inspecting Kindergarten.) Peridot: Log date 6 5 2. (Peridot rises from an elevator.) Peridot: *fiddles with touchscreen* This is Peridot, updating status. Still stuck on this miserable planet.... The fusion experiments are developing properly. A few have even emerged early. *shrieks, seeing Steven* (Steven silently stares at Peridot, Peridot looks around.) Peridot: *whispering* Are... the other ones... with you...? Steven: *shakes his head, then nods, shrugging* Peridot: *dissipates touchscreen* Of course! Why not... *facepalms* Garnet: *distantly* Peridot! Pearl: There she is! (The Crystal Gems begin to pursue Peridot.) Peridot: *gasps, flees* Amethyst: Nowhere to go! Pearl: You're cornered! (The Crystal Gems chase Peridot to a wall. Peridot scales the wall, running up it.) Steven: Hey! I can't do that! Pearl: Neither can she! *hurls spear* Peridot: *ducks, grinning* *looks back* Ha! Missed! (Pearl's spear hits an Injector, dissipates. The Injector collapses and hits Peridot on the way down.) Peridot: *shrieks, fleeing* (The Injector hits the ground harshly.) Steven: Do you think she's hurt? (Peridot emerges from the rubble and flees.) Amethyst: *laughs* Nope! *tethers Peridot with whip* (Peridot generates an electrical current, electrifying the whip with the tip of her finger.) Amethyst: *drops whip* Whoa! Hot whip! *growls* Peridot: *running* You Crystal Clods! Go ahead! Wreck this place! See if I care! I already got what I needed! Pearl: *running* Get back here! (Peridot's fingers turn into helicopter-blades, lifting her from the ground.) Peridot: *laughs maniacally, smiling* Amethyst: I'm gonna bop her good! Pearl: I'll help! (Pearl and Amethyst pursue Peridot off-screen.) Steven: Hurry, Garnet! (Steven is seen running but Garnet is holding him by the back of his shirt.) Garnet: If Peridot's mission was to reactivate the Kindergarten, the injectors would be on. Look [Camera pans to injectors] They're not. Steven: Oh! Oh... Garnet: Let's see what she was actually doing. *lifts up the collapsed Injector* Down here. Steven: Oh. Oh! You're brains and brawn! The whole package! *high-fives Garnet* Garnet: Thank you! Steven: Is it cause you're a fusion? Garnet: I have to keep some of my secrets. Steven: Aw, please? I wanna know! Garnet: *chuckles* (Garnet and Steven slide down into the Kindergarten Prime Control Room.) Steven: Is the strong part of you Ruby and the wise part of you Sapphire? Garnet: It's all of both. When two gems combine, it creates something greater than the sum of their parts. That's why I'm so great. (Garnet and Steven land at the control room.) Steven: What's it like to stayed fused all the— Whoa. Steven: I don't know how but... this place is even creepier than the last time we were here. Garnet: Yes. There's something going on. Steven: The power's not on. What was Peridot doing? Garnet: It looks like she pulled these out of the walls. Something strange. (A noise comes out from a dirt pillar. Garnet comes close to it.) Steven: Garnet? *runs to Garnet* (The dirt pillar shakes.) Steven: Is there... something in there? (Creature falls from the ceiling.) Steven: *shrieks* Whoa. (More of same kind of creature falls.) Steven: What are they? *the creature Garnet's holding approaches Steven's face, Steven shrieks* Garnet: *poofs the creature and grabs it* Steven: What is it? It looks like... two gems shards, stuck together. Garnet: *grunts disgusted, throws away the shard* Steven: Is that what all these things are? Gems... stuck together? Garnet: *gasp* Steven: Garnet? (Dirt pillar cracks.) Steven: What was that? (Dirt pillar explodes, revealing a Cluster Gem. The cluster gem members, while screaming, attempt to escape, but fail to and turn into a cluster gem monster.) Garnet: *breathes, agitated* Steven: Garnet. Uh, Garnet. What do we do? (gets grabbed by a cluster gem) AH! Please, talk to me! Ah! (He summons shield and starts fending off the corrupted Gems.) Garnet: Ugh! *glasses are knocked off* *cries, shocked* These were Crystal Gems, shattered into pieces. They were buried together. Steven: Why aren't you moving? Garnet: They were forced together... They were forced to fuse! This is wrong! Uh, uh, I'm sorry. (Garnet starts to unfuse.) Steven: *afraid* NO! No, Garnet, you're coming undone! Garnet! Garnet! *pushes another hand away with his shield* Garneeet! Please, what's the matter?! *Garnet unfuses further* This isn't like you! Garnet: (Upon hearing Steven's last words, Garnet regains control and starts to fuse back.) UH, Uh! *pushes the cluster away powerfully, defeats it and then bubbles it* Steven: We did it! Garnet: *falls silent* Steven: Garnet? Garnet/Ruby: So this is what Homeworld thinks of fusion! Garnet/Sapphire: We couldn't have known they would do this... Garnet/Ruby: This is where they've been. All the ones we couldn't find. They've been here the whole time! Garnet/Sapphire: Rose couldn't have known. Garnet/Ruby: This is punishment for the rebellion! Garnet/Sapphire: *sobbing* It's not our fault! Steven: Garnet! Garnet: (She sends Gem Shards into the Burning Room, turns to Steven stuttering.) St-Steven... Amethyst: Yo. (She enters the control room with Pearl.) We're back. Pearl: Garnet, we lost Peridot. Her fingers were too fast for us. *two hands fused climb up on Amethyst* Um... *Pearl grabs them* What are these things? Garnet: Put them down! Steven: Uh! Pearl: Wha... *throws the hands away* Garnet: We need to poof and bubble all of them. We can't let any escape. (Garnet poofs the hands and the screen turns black. Then the temple appears and Steven warps onto the hand on which there is a washer and a clothes dryer with a basket of laundry. He notices Garnet is leaning against the hand's thumb.) Steven: Oh. Hey, Garnet. How's it going? Garnet: Still damp. Steven: *looks at the dryer* Oh. Right. The clothes. There are towels in there. Do we even have plumbing up here? How do you get the washer and dryer to work? Garnet: *waving her left hand* Magic. *smiles* Steven: (He laughs but Garnet starts frowning and he looks sad.) Are you... alright? Garnet: I wish you hadn't seen that... Steven: Oh it's okay. Garnet: It's not okay. Steven: ... Why? Garnet: What Homeworld did, taking the shards and parts of fallen gems and combining them, these gems weren't asked permission. Fusion is a choice, those gems weren't given a choice. It isn't right; it isn't fusion! (The dryer beeps, Steven looks at Garnet and takes the clothes out of it.) Steven: What's it like, being a fusion? Garnet: You fused. Steven: I mean, like, all the time. Do you forget who you used to be? Garnet: You forget you were ever alone. *smiles for a split second* You know, when you fuse, you don't feel like two people, you feel like one being. And your old names might as well be names for your left arm, and your right. Steven: When you split up, is it like you disappear? Garnet: I embody my- I mean, Ruby and Sapphire's love. I'll always exist in them, even if I split apart. But the strength of that love keeps me together, *smiling* so I can stay Garnet for a very long time. Steven: *smiling widely* That's why you're so great. Garnet: *still smiling* Ha. Steven: (He laughs, a white and baby blue sock flies out of the basket and he gasps.) Oh no! (Garnet grabs the sock before it flies away.) Garnet: Don't wanna break up a pair. Steven: Yeah. (He hands a white and light pink, similar-looking sock to Garnet who folds them together.) They belong together.
