This might be our last premier on a regular schedule for the year (the schedule starts to get really weird around this time each year), so let’s make sure we enjoy it! Watch Too Far on October 15 at 7:30 PM EDT (please note the time change, as it was not originally scheduled to air at 7:30).

Ken, GC13, Sophia, and Dakota, back from his break for an episode, get very excited to talk about When it Rains. The Peridemption train is rolling!
At this point everyone will have their heart broken should something happen to keep Peridot from permanently joining the team, since that scene of her stepping into the rain seemed pretty conclusive. She’ll be a great asset for lore-loving fans, with her homeworld mindset and awareness of recent events (though of course we need Jasper to join as well).
The Cluster continues to loom over the series, and the destruction it can cause has finally been revealed. Let’s just hope that we never see its physical form, so that destruction never becomes a reality—on Earth, anyway.

5:30 PM EDT: Back to the Barn
No, this is not an error. As of now there are no re-runs at all scheduled for Steven Universe this week, not even a repeat of When it Rains.
With what we’ve learned about the Cluster, it’s kind of all we want to talk about. (Well, the only lore-related thing, anyway. We still love Peridot.) It’s been a lot of information hitting us in these past couple of episodes, so we have some wondering to do.
The lore train does not stop! When it Rains was everything we wanted: a good lore drop combined with some wonderful bonding between Steven and Peridot. So, who wants to know about the Cluster? We do! So we’re going to take stock of what we learned this week.
Oh, this is going to be so cool! We went up into space, now it’s time to prepare for our trip underground. (By the way, does anyone still doubt the Pearl servant theory?)
Well this episode turned out to be just about everything we could have possibly hoped for. We learned so much, got a lot of character development packed into a very short time without feeling overwhelming, and got some serious promises for what’s going to happen next.
It’s just… Wow. There was an idle prediction made about the Cluster, but it’s tough to realize that it was right.
A special shout-out to the responders to our Tumblr post about predictions for When it Rains: everyone was in agreement that Steven and Peridot would bond well, and they did. No fake-outs from the Crewniverse this time. Go team, and GO GREEN MOM!
It would be perfect for When it Rains to be a character episode. Peridot has only just moved in with Steven, so naturally the next episode should focus on her as a character. The Crystal Gems are out of the picture for most of this episode, if the commercial and preview are to be believed, so it looks like a nice episode focused on Peridot and Steven is what we’re getting.
Of course Peridot’s ominous “it’s happening!” makes it sound like we’ll be getting a healthy dose of exposition along with our character episode. It’s still a bit early to unleash the Cluster though, so we’re expecting a few more episodes building it up before it’s finally released.
There are still no real re-runs scheduled for next week (so far), but the premiers will continue! Back to the Barn is airing at 5:30 PM EDT on October 8.
