This isn’t a lore episode, it’s a character building episode. Lapis is here for the long haul, and even though there have been dozens of episodes since she appeared she’s only starting to get her character developed.
That’s okay though! We love lore, but we love it best when it’s revealed to and by characters we’ve become invested in over time.
Just in case you missed the countdown timer, Barn Mates will be airing tomorrow at 7 PM EDT. Don’t miss it!
Alright, it’s time for the final episode of the In Too Deep event. You definitely won’t want to miss Hit the Diamond at 7:00 PM EDT on Thursday, June 2, 2016!

GC13 and Hunter discuss the first episode of Steven Universe where Lapis has actually been happy: Same Old World.
There’s a flashback with lots of interesting goodies (including a Gem who has intrigued the fanbase and we hope to see again), as well as a bright future ahead for Lapis and Peridot (who may either become a farmer or simply work at the Big Donut).
It also had some very interesting animation, some very big hair, and was the first in-show appearance of Steven’s new hot dog duffel bag from the online short. We’re calling this a huzzah!

Flashbacks are great: they’re typically very pertinent to our interests, being about stuff we’ve wanted to know about for a while. We can also hope they might foreshadow the arrival of new characters.
We got our flashback, and we’re going to work it for all it’s worth. The fandom is abuzz with musings about a particular Gem in those flashbacks, but we won’t be wondering about her until tomorrow. There’s plenty in the flashback to unpack though, so we have plenty to cover today, if you’d like to read on.
This is a nice posting by Aivi and Surasshu: two tracks from Super Watermelon Island where Malachite and Alexandrite were battling. Make sure to listen to both Part One (1:36) and Part Two (2:01).
This episode exceeded expectations on the lore front. We’ve had one theory directly confirmed (though it was pretty strongly implied already before), and another all but directly confirmed (it’s not what was said, it’s what was shown). Flashbacks really are fantastic, aren’t they?
Plus, as far as setting the show up for the future? Well, that hope was definitely realized (as we all knew it would be, thanks to the leaks, but it’s still good to see).
