Just when we thought we knew Pink Diamond’s full character arc, Steven Universe: Future gives us the episode Volleyball to add an even earlier event. What Pink did to hear Pearl was certainly bad, and the scars she left on her lasted for thousands of years, but it’s what started Pink Diamond’s character growth.

As we know from Steven Universe: The Movie, Pink hadn’t finished growing by the time she got the Earth colony – Spinel could tell you that – but after hurting her Pearl she completely changed how her gem’s powers manifested. Instead of throwing tantrums she would heal wounds—perhaps hoping she could somehow heal her Pearl?

Tulip is nowhere to be seen in the next chapter of Infinity Train, but her doppelgänger M.T. (Mirror Tulip) is still on the run from the law since her debut in “The Chrome Car.” A newly trapped passenger, Jessie, also appears in the latest trailer for Book 2; his past is still unknown to us. GC13 and David talk about what sparked their interest in the Book 2 trailer, and what the season will address to carry forward the story of Infinity Train.
