I know you're eager to chase
the mail truck, Dogcopter...



...but the mail truck
is a decoy.

Good boys
chase the blue car.

Be a good boy,
Dogcopter.

♪♪

Nice work, D.C.

Now, get the bomb
off the bridge.

We're almost out of time.

Dogcopter, no!

Dogcopter,
I can't lose you.

Is this...
what I think it is?

Everyone's getting married
but me.

Ugh,
I feel like poop.

I wish the Gems weren't doing
a field trip this week.

I wonder if they have
any reception.



Guess not.

Hey, Steven.

Hey, Dad.
How's it going?

The tour's been going great.
What's going on with you?

You throw any big parties while
you got the house to yourself?

Yeah
you know me.

But I-I'm really glad
you're getting home tonight.

I really need to talk to someone
about what happened

between me and Connie.

Sorry, Steven,
uh, what was that?

Sadie and Shep have been
working on a new routine.

You'll never believe what
they throw into the audience.

Hey, guess what?

The tour's
been extended.

Wow, that's --
th-that's great.

Yeah, you know,
you were so right

about this whole
manager thing, Steven.

I love it. I can't believe
I'm touring again.

Oh, we're about to head
into another tunnel,

you want to call me back
with whatever you wanted

to talk about?

I-It wasn't important.

You sure?

We can stop by on our way
through Delmarva.

No, it's okay.

Just, uh, have fun.

I-I shouldn't worry her.

I-I'll let it go to voicemail.

Huh?

Steven,
are you there?

Hey, Connie.
What's up?

Steven.
- I've been worried about you.

Are --
are you glowing?

Oh, a-a-am I?

What's happening
to your face?

Why?
W-What's wrong with my face?

Uhhhhh...

Oh, right, the swelling...

My body just keeps
randomly growing,

but -- but it doesn't
hurt or anything.

It's fine.

How long
has it been happening?

Since...this morning.

What do the Gems
think?

I can't reach them.

They're doing a school field
trip out in the wilderness.

It's nothing to worry
about, anyway.

You really
don't look well.

Maybe you should see
a doctor.

My mom could see you
at the hospital.

I wouldn't want to waste
her time.

Steven, you need to see
a medical professional.

Right, okay.

You're lucky I had
a cancellation today.

Normally, I'm booked up
weeks in advance.

Think you'll be able
to help him?

Even if this is some sort
of Gem issue?

Gem issue or not,
you have a human body,

which means
we can run tests.

At the very least, we can
determine if you're suffering

from a non-Gem condition.

See?
I'll go wait outside.

I'm sure
it'll all be fine.

Let's start
with your symptoms.

Hmm. Mild fever.

Glowing pink color
to skin.

Hmm.

Blood pressure is high.

Well, these readings
are certainly interesting.

If you don't mind me asking,
who's your G.P.?

You know,
- your general practitioner,

your regular doctor?

I guess you?

I've never been
to the doctor before.

You're 16 years old, and
you've never been to the doctor?

I-It's okay, it's okay.

I'll have a talk
with your father later.

We'll just need to run
some more tests.

Get undressed, and let's get you
into a hospital gown.

Is that one of those blue things
that doesn't cover your butt?

Yes.
Now, let's get started.

♪♪

♪♪

So, this is
a typical human skeleton.

Now,
a couple of months ago,

Garnet, Amethyst,
and Pearl allowed me

to x-ray them
for research purposes.

Their charts look
like this.

Only their gems
appear on a radiograph.

And this...
is your chart.

Definitely
a human skeleton.

There's a clear history
of numerous fractures,

like here on the skull.

Everything
is perfectly aligned.

It almost looks as if the bones
healed themselves

the instant
the injuries occurred.

That's good, right?

Well,
you seem to have made

a series
- of miraculous recoveries,

but that doesn't change the fact
that you experienced trauma.

You've recovered physically,
but...

have you recovered
mentally?

You think there's something
wrong with my brain?

Not "wrong."

It's that adverse
childhood experiences,

or childhood trauma,
can have a lasting impact

on how your body
responds to stress.

This can affect
your social, emotional,

and physical development.

When humans
are in crisis,

the brain releases
the hormone cortisol.

Your heart races,
your muscles tense.

I wonder if your body
is reacting to

a Gem equivalent
of cortisol.

Steven, do you remember
anything bad in your childhood

that particularly
stuck with you?

I guess...I kinda freaked out
when they cancelled

my favorite ice cream.

And then I got attacked
by a giant bug monster.

And I got trapped in a bubble
and almost drowned.

I lost control of my body and
turned into a blob of cats.

I almost turned so old
I died.

Amethyst almost died.

Pearl did die.

Garnet got destabilized
right in front of me.

I woke up with a black eye,
imprisoned on a space ship --

Steven,
this is serious.

But that was just
the early stuff.

I think all these experiences
have been subjecting your body

to a harmful amount
of stress,

and that's affecting
your ability to respond

to new forms of stress
in a healthy way.

You've been dealing with genuine
threats from such a young age,

your body now is responding
to minor threats

as if your life
were in danger.

But why am I only
swelling up now?

Stress is less harmful
when we have people

we trust
to help us through it.

Maybe if -- if you're losing
your supportive relationships

Or if you had
a recent experience

that was particularly
awf--

What's going on?

Mom,
what's happening?

I don't know.

I just asked if he'd had any
stressful experiences lately.

Steven,
you don't think...

It's not you,
Connie.

It's everything
that happened before.

What is he talking about?

You haven't told your mom?

Told me what?

It's not your fault.

I-I think I just need you
to leave.

This is a medical emergency.
I am not leaving.

Mom, us being here
is making it worse.

Aah!

Oh, no.

Please, just --
just go.

Steven.

I...can't...
be around you right now!

-Steven.
-Dad?

I'm here.

Come on, Mom.
Let's give them space.

Right.

H-How'd you know
I was here?

Connie called me
about an hour ago.

Connie...

Thank you.

Yeah.

I'll be here
when you're ready.

Uh, Steven,
I'm sorry.

If I'd have known,
I --

It's fine, Dad.

You were busy, a-and I
didn't know what was going on.

Come on, Steven.

Talk to me.

I --
Uh, well, I, um...

I proposed to Connie.

You what?

She said no.

Oh, Steven.

My body -- it's reacting like
it's the end of the world.

I think I've seen the world
almost end so many times now

that everything
- that goes wrong feels that --

that extreme.

I should be feeling
so good these days.

The Earth is safe,
it's Era 3,

but I'm --
I'm swelling up

over these
third-era problems.

What do I do?

How do I move on from all
the stuff I've been through?

How do I live life

if it always feels like
I'm about to die?

It's gonna be all right,
Schtu-ball.

I'm here for you.

I just...

I want to go home.

I guess I thought I could just
follow Connie to college,

like, if we got married,
I'd know what to do with myself,

but I'm the one that's got
to figure that stuff out.

Cut yourself some slack.

It's okay to be worried
and make some mistakes

when you're figuring out
what to do with your life.

That's not unusual.

Well, the magic swelling
is a little unusual,

but that's okay, too.

If you want to be
a giant boy,

we can use the car wash
as a shower.

Dad, your tour!
I've ruined your --

Don't worry about me.

Just get some rest,
kiddo.

You don't have to solve
all your problems in one night.

Yeah.

Thanks, Dad.
