The Steven Crewniverse definitely delivered on the hype that earned Steven Universe its highest ratings yet with the airing of Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem on Thursday. Either one of these episodes by themselves would have been a bombshell. Putting them both together in one week gives us a huge amount of information about Gems to work with.
Read on to see what lore bombs were dropped on us.
House Guest will air on October 2, 2014 at 6:45 PM EST.
The World of Steven Universe has a preview up, of a vocalized song that plays some time during the episode:
Well, it looks like we won’t be getting our Fortune Telling merit badge any time soon.
Still, these episodes gave us the best kind of look at the lore: they confirmed what we already had been able to guess, and gave us something tantalizing to look out for in future episodes.
So, take this away:
Saturday will have the more detailed lore implications, so if you missed the episode today you have a bit of time to catch them. Sunday will have the speculation for what it all means, and that post is going to be a big one. 🙂
Another song from An Indirect Kiss, today we get to listen to Overgrown Brambles (2:24).

Well, tomorrow’s the big day. Steven Universe will complete its first twenty-six episode batch with a two-part bonanza. It’s going to be spectacular.
We know there are twenty-six more episodes of season one and fifty-two episodes of season two coming. However, Cartoon Network initially ordered only twenty-six episodes. You can bet good money that Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem were written so that fans wouldn’t be left feeling cheated if the network declined to continue the series.
So because of that, expect a lot of “whoa” and a fair amount of “holy crap!” Cartoon Network has been running a lot of commercials for the special event, so we can make some guesses. There has also been a leak to help us too. If you’re a brave sort when it comes to spoilers, check out our expectations for the episode starting a few paragraphs below.
If you want to see the episode yourself before you come to the lore mill, then a word on scheduling: after the episode airs we’ll publish a reaction post which will be completely spoiler-free except for some vagaries (it would say things like “we have enough to start a page on Gem culture now!” or “looks like there’s something else for the Technology page”, and there will probably be a “believe the hype”). As usual Friday will be a day off regarding Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem while we process everything, then Saturday will go more in depth on what we’ve learned and Sunday will speculate about what the still-ambiguous stuff means.
Ready? Spoilers below. Ye be warned. Click “Read More” only if you mean it.
Steven Universe will continue coming back strong from its long hiatus by airing House Guest on Thursday, Oct 2, 2014. It will air at 6:45 PM EST rather than the usual 6:30, in what looks to be a permanent schedule change.
House Guest
After injuring his leg, Greg comes to live with Steven and unintentionally interferes with Steven’s powers.
This one was too good not to share. Who doesn’t love Cookie Cats? Lion Lickers just can’t cut it. Check out DragonBeak’s Cookie Cat in its full-sized glory on Tumblr!
Aivi and Surasshu have posted Rose’s Fountain (1:02) from An Indirect Kiss. It does indeed sound a lot like this week’s featured song: The Hill,which makes sense considering the heavy association both of them have with Rose Quartz.

In honor of Rose Quartz’s heavy involvement in An Indirect Kiss, this week’s selected song is The Hill, from Lars and the Cool Kids. This song seems to be Rose’s theme, and was also featured in extended form in An Indirect Kiss when the fountain was restored.
