Steven had a lot to get off of his chest, but the important thing is that he told the truth. That’s enough to make Steven’s Confession the song of the week (and Rose’s room a continual dispenser of wisdom).

It’s not too late to write this, since technically Open Book was produced with the rest of season one. With Joy Ride, the first episode of season two not to premier during #StevenBomb, however, it’s time to make some predictions about what will happen over the course of the season.
There are fifty-one episodes to go, plus two more episodes from season one to air, and we only know what two will be about. It’s time to start speculating.
Getting a second look at Rose’s room is a welcome opportunity to start talking about it (especially since we weren’t around back when its first appearance, in Rose’s Room appropriately enough). We know it has its limits, but how it functions can only be explained with the broad brush of “Gem magic”.
It feels good to have the previews going again. This one comes to us from a little-used YouTube account, carl3541, and shows us Steven and his appreciation for all basic shapes.
Yep, definitely a character episode. There’s not too much lore to be found in this one, though we enjoyed having a second look at Rose’s room. The twist was very interesting; of course we had no reason to fear another bog-standard plotline.
This was only the second episode without any of the other Crystal Gems in it, so we’ll be waiting for Shirt Club and Story For Steven to see whether Garnet’s outfit will be the season-one or season-two version in the three episodes formerly a part of season one.
It’s an episode where two characters are in a room that will do anything they ask. Steven knows not to ask for too much, so we’re not going to see Rose’s room over-taxed again. What could possibly go wrong, then?
Well surely you’ve seen some variant of the killer VR plotline (the holodeck from Star Trek being a particularly dangerous example), so hopefully Open Book will steer clear of such a common cliché (them being trapped inside until they resolve the story won’t count as an avoidance). If that’s avoided, though, it’s hard to predict what twist they could introduce to the episode—there are just too many possibilities.
No big backstory information is expected in Open Book, so look forward to a great Steven and Connie episode. Unless, of course, the episode turns out to be mostly about telling a seemingly unrelated story, like Garnet’s Universe was, in which case we’ll have to go into overdrive playing Spot the Foreshadowing (really we should have seen Hopper and Hoppy as representing Ruby and Sapphire far earlier than we did).
Marble Madness gave us questions we couldn’t answer, but when The Return and Jailbreak aired we got… To put it lightly a LOT more material we could use. This includes some great hints about the Crystal Gem rebellion for Earth, and how it ended. Once the hints are lined up in the right order, the conclusion really falls into place on its own.
This is the first of two articles about the more solid lore we got from #StevenBomb.
Well, as the first season two episode (in production order) to air on the regular schedule, Joy Ride has the honor of being the first episode we don’t have a synopsis on far in advance. Aren’t you all excited? The thrill of the unknown?
It looks like we’ll all just have to tune in on March 26 at 5 PM EDT to find out what happens in Joy Ride!
