GC13 and Hunter engage in some consequence-free hyping, guessing at what some short episode descriptions might hint at for the next Steven Bomb to hit the airwaves.

Now surely with Steven Universe episode descriptions being notoriously difficult to draw predictions from, we’d be cautious, wouldn’t we? Wrong! This is a special occasion, one where we throw caution to the wind and dare to dream big! Even if it’s most likely, for instance, that Yellow Pearl is merely singing backup to Yellow Diamond, imagine a full-on duet between our Pearl and Yellow Diamond. It’s a dream worth dreaming.

(If anyone is curious, here are links to the signing sheet and the press panel transcript.)

In the spirit of the season, GC13 writes out his Christmas wish list for the series. This list has everything: new seasons, lore, character development. And who’s that? Tiger Millionaire? You better believe he’s on the wishlist too!

We must always hopal for more Opal, but there are plenty of characters who have disappeared that it would be great to see back. (Bonus points if the character in question is Mystery Girl, who is also important to Pearl’s character development.)

Of course what the fandom must want most (how could they want anything more?) would be more Camp Pining Hearts. The show has been a fan favorite ever since Log Date 7 15 2 showed it to us. Mayor Dewey probably loves Camp Pining Hearts, so that means you should probably love it too!

GC13 and Hunter talk a lot about Lars and The New Lars, and even learn some fun facts about koalas at the start of the episode!

So, whether you love or hate Lars you have to admit that this episode took him to a dark place. GC13 and Hunter aren’t the kind of people to think that Lars is being treated unfairly, or that Steven is being portrayed as doing nothing wrong, but… Seriously, poor Lars. Hopefully he’s grown as a result of all of this.

There is also a question of shipping: if Sadie and Lars aren’t destined for one another, then who is worthy of good Lady Sadie? Even more importantly, where is Opal?

GC13, Sophia, and Hunter have the goods with a discussion of Three Gems and a Baby.

Well if baby Steven isn’t just the cutest baby we’ve ever seen… Greg also helps him get a diamond onto his chest, not long after we get confirmation on the cool kids’ ages.

So what do you think? Does a Gem’s gem shrink and grow as they shapeshift or fuse, or does it actually stay the same size and it’s only drawn as bigger or smaller for aesthetic appeal?

Carabiner! Carabiner!
