Ah, the much-anticipated Story for Steven, our second season-one episode being aired in season two, is finally being aired next week. As much as we want to see an alligator, we probably won’t get it. We’ll definitely be tuned in at 5:30 PM EDT on April 9 though, just in case!

GC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss Joy Ride, the second episode to air which was produced as part of season two. The upcoming crossover episode between Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa, Say Uncle, also comes up: get ready, it’s coming!
Are Sour Cream and Onion step-brothers or half-brothers? Did we see Peridot walking down the road as Steven and the cool kids drove past? Can the Crystal Gems really hover in the air or is that just part of the great diamond conspiracy? Don’t look to us for answers: we just want to see you laughing in the pizza rain.
So this leaves us with Say Uncle airing this week. The previews look like they made it work, so let’s see what happens when a reality warper shows up on the beach with a mind to help Steven with his Gem powers.
Vroom vroom! Kill the road! Freedom smells like pizza and exhaust fumes—pizza delivery car exhaust fumes. That makes Road Killer this week’s song of the week. Just try not to crash into anything if a sudden pizza rain starts up—they can be tricky, showing up even when there isn’t a pizza cloud in the sky.

Normally our weekly speculation posts regard the world as a real thing and attempting to make predictions about it based on what we’ve learned—much like lore implications except more… Speculative.
This week we’re doing something different: we’re zooming out and analyzing the show as if it’s a written creation (strange, we know).
Well, Uncle Grandpa definitely doesn’t lose his reality warping powers just because he’s in Steven Universe, that’s for sure. Check out the preview:
We’re no strangers to squeezing lore out of character-centric episodes, so even though Joy Ride focused mostly on showing us some of Steven’s feelings and giving us a better look at the cool kids you shouldn’t be surprised that we were able to get some lore out of this. Come on, didn’t you see the [REDACTED]?
We’ve seen enough of the Gem homeworld to be able to make some assumptions about it. As we get more information our guesses should become more accurate, but these aren’t wild stabs in the dark: it all meshes with what we’ve seen previously to paint a consistent picture of the modern homeworld.
In short, the homeworld is militarized but weak.
Well happy days! We may not have got everything we wanted out of Joy Ride, but we’re super-glad about at least one thing it set in motion. (Don’t get too excited though, eh?) It’s also great to have confirmation on Sour Cream’s relation to Onion: they’re step-brothers.
Nothing too lore-heavy in this episode, just a big “watch out!” for future events. Plus, a close look at some very neat Gem technology.
