Aah, aah! [ Cellphone buzzing ]
Ah! Ah! Ugh!
Okay, Universe. This is it!
Connie's finally ready to talk. No expectations.
Just let her say what she needs to say!
Aw.
Peridot: Steven!
[ Chuckles ] It's us.
Oh, hi, Peridot. Hi, Lapis.
Don't forget Pumpkin! [ Barks ]
[ Chuckles ] Hi, Pumpkin!
I'd told you he'd answer.
It's so good to see you. I'm glad you're okay.
Lapis was worried you lost your phone on Homeworld,
but I said, "No way!
He's probably just ignoring us."
Sorry, guys. There's been...a lot going on.
Like what? Tell us!
Well, Connie is really mad at me.
No, no, no, no. Tell us about space!
And start from the beginning.
Uh, okay.
I was trying to protect Beach City,
so I surrendered myself to Homeworld,
and I was put in a big, empty room,
and I ended up on trial in front of the Diamonds!
On trial? What?
In front of the Diamonds?
Yeah, and...
You were in front of Blue Diamond?
And Yellow! But it's okay.
I escaped in a palanquin and went underground and...
You ran from Blue and Yellow Diamond?!
Yes. Peridot,
we have to leave Earth now.
[ Sighing ] Uh-oh.
[ Pumpkin barking ]
Wait. We can't leave.
What about all our crops?
Guys?
Ugh. The vegetables will have to deal.
Okay. Okay, but, uh,
we're only halfway through our rewatch of "CPH" season four.
[ Chuckles ] We'll bring the box set with us.
But how are we going to watch it without the TV?
We'll bring the TV.
Uh, Lapis? Huh?
Peridot?
Oh, Steven.
Good. Let's go.
Wait. What?
We'll find some remote spot
in the universe to hide out in.
The Diamonds will never find us.
Lapis, don't worry.
They're looking for me on Homeworld.
They don't know I'm here.
We're safe.
Yeah. Come on.
We've gotten away with worse.
They've never been able to hunt me down
for my many crimes against them.
This is different.
Steven is important,
and our transgressions are piling up!
They're going to take their anger out on this planet,
just like they did before.
I can't.
I won't let myself
get caught up in another war.
[ Whimpers ]
I don't want you to leave,
but I won't ask you guys to stay
if you don't feel safe.
If you have to go, I understand.
Right.
Peridot, if you want the TV,
levitate it over here.
Hey, um,
what about our meep morps we've made?
We can't leave them behind.
We can bring them, too.
But they're installations!
They need the context of the barn!
If -- if we move them, they'll become...
performance pieces.
There's no need to get so emotional!
You're right. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Performance art isn't bad,

I was bending over backwards to make her feel better.

Oh, yeah. She loves this.

She needs consistency.

Aah!

Whoa, Peridot.
It sounds like you don't really want to go.
I'm sorry, Pumpkin.
I didn't mean to yank you around.
It's just we don't have a choice in this.

Isn't that the worst time?
Yes.

Then why didn't you tell me sooner?
Well, there are many things I should say,
but they would upset you,

Peridot, that's lying!

Okay, then! The truth is...
I think that we should stay, and if -- and if the time comes,
if the Diamonds do come to wipe this planet off the star maps,
I think we should fight for this life we've built

Nope, that's it, we're getting her out.

To feel better?
Come on, Peridot!
I can't stand seeing you like this.
Like what?
Dude, let's just get out of the house.
We could go check out my old kindergarten!
We met all those other Amethysts up in space,
and they all came out of the same rock as me.
I've been meaning to get a look at the old neighborhood
now that I've met the neighbors.
That sounds fun. What do you say, Peridot?
you can make us feel dumb
by telling us all the stuff we don't know!
I miss that.
Great, it's settled!
Let's get out of the bathroom.

Ugh. Why exactly are we taking

No.
Your efforts to entrance me with Earth's beauty
are pointless.
My sector of countryside was perfect.
Now it's somewhere in space.
Just let me know when we get there.
Good ol' kindergarten! Just the way I left it!
Aw, some things never change!
Gah, actually, everything's different now!
Man, I-I used to think this place was full of empty holes,
but now it's like
it's empty with holes which were once full!
All those Amethysts I met in space --
they were all here!
While I was right there in the ground.
But now I can finally start putting some faces to holes!
Hohohoh, let's see...
Hup!
This must've been 8XJ!
Ooh!
8XK!
8XL!
Peridot: Actually, the order goes from top to bottom.
That's 8XJ.
Really?
Yes. Curly hair, right?
Yeah! How'd you know?
You can tell from the iron deposits in the formation there.
And that's 8XL down below.
Whoa, that's pretty amazing, Dot.
This used to make sense to me.
I thought life was generated in a kindergarten.
Formless, aimless energy
channeled into new, useful gems.
But life doesn't start in a kindergarten.
It ends here.
I've gotten used to plants everywhere.
Bugs and breeze and sunshine...
all of that has been sucked out of this place.
It's with the Amethysts that were produced here,
and now this place is nothing but a miserable husk.
All of the Amethysts are gone.
Hey!
Oh, all the well-made Amethysts are gone.
Yo, not better.
And nothing will ever grow here again,
not even this flower.
Wait!
Oh!
I've never seen anything growing here,
and I've been hanging around this joint for 5,000 years.
Man, it looks healthy, too.
Wow! That's Earth for you --
always bouncing back.
I don't know.
I'd have to run some tests
to see if this is not an anomaly.
