~ Fora Temer ~
Whoo!
- That sounded great!
- Aw, thanks.
I'm thinking about calling it
"Water witch."
- Cool!
- And check this out.
I can add some vocal distortion, too.
Steven, your dad's a robot now.
And now that I'm a robot,
things will be better and colder.
Please forgive me for
being an amazing machine.
I can't stay mad at my Robo Dad!
Where's all this awesome
energy coming from?
Actually, I was inspired
to make some new songs
after the ocean got sucked
up into space a while back.
I even drew up some
freaky album artwork.
It looks like...
Lapis Lazuli.
Easy with the tender touches.
Don't want it to get all smudged.
Here, plug this up and help your
old man work out this witchy jam.
Yeah!
L-e-e-et's jam!
- Uh... where my jams at?
- I don't think it's plugged in.
Aha!
Boop! All right.
Here we go!
L-e-e-et's jam!
Uh... Hmm.
Jam!
- Mm. J-a-a-a-am!
- Oh! Sorry.
That's just the TV. See?
You plugged into the video jack.
We're making audio here.
Don't you know?
"Video killed the audio star."
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
That's okay.
You leave the details to me.
When you're a one-man band, you
got to know how to do it all ...
lyrics, graphic design,
forum moderation.
But for me it was all about the audio!
What a lovely poem.
Okay!
We need a catchy hook ...
Something like...
# Well, she's a riptide queen #
- # and she's super-mean #
- Whoa. Hold the phone.
Now give the phone to me.
Lapis was not mean.
She was just trying to get home.
How about this instead?
♪ She was trapped in a mirror ♪
♪ and it couldn't be clearer ♪
♪ she wanted to leave this place ♪
♪ and get herself back in space ♪
♪ and, dad, you might think
she's a criminal ♪
♪ but her friendship comes
through subliminal ♪
♪ Lapis Lazuli ♪
♪ you fled into the bottom of the sea ♪
♪ Lapis Lazuli ♪
♪ you were so mad, but
then you came around to me ♪
Uh, what the heck is that?!
Must be some kind of weird feedback.
Hmm...
It's not us.
I think it's coming from the temple.
- Let's check it out.
- Uh, you go on ahead.
If this is a gem thing, I
don't want to get in the way.
Plus, I got to eat
the rest of this pizza.
Good thinking!
I'll be back.
- Ow! What's happening?!
- It's the wailing stone!
- Make it stop!
- It just activated on its own!
It won't shut off!
Stand back!
Huh? It worked!
Now we can ...
Bwaaaaaah!
I don't understand.
That thing has lain dormant
- since we found it.
- I haven't heard a wailing stone
activate since we used
them for the rebellion.
And I've never
heard it sound like that!
Someone is trying to
send us a message.
But who?
We've rounded up all
the wailing stones on Earth,
and we're not sending
this signal to ourselves!
Unless...
- Amethyst, is this a prank?!
- No way!
I want it to stop!
I don't like it!
If it's not coming
from Earth, then a gem must be
- sending this message from space.
- Is that... what some
- gems sound like?
- No, no.
We should be hearing a voice.
Maybe this signal is too
advanced for the
wailing stone to process.
That would explain the distorted audio.
Audio?
My Daddio knows audio!
- Eh, you mean Greg?
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
- Don't whine. Let's try it.
I can't believe it!
You need help with sound stuff?
You've come to the right guy!
Aha! The Lubitz cardioid condenser 680!
It's got warm tones without too
- much top-end.
- Uh, plus it's got
- a big honkin' sponge thing.
- I know! Isn't it awesome?
Now I'm gonna add some reverb
and some low-octave effects.
I'm also adding some fuzz,
'cause who couldn't use more fuzz?
Now, if I directly input the
wailing stone and run it through
a flanger, we might get what
you're looking for.
Flangers aside, do
you really think a signal
like this is compatible
with your analog devices?
Don't worry, Dad.
It'll work!
Well, here goes nothin'.
- This is even worse!
- I'm sorry!
Dad, you can do it!
You're the audio daddio!
Yeah!
It ... It sounds
like... music.
Yeah!
That's real nice.
Yes! Yes!
- Whoo-hoo!
- But it's not supposed
to be music.
It's supposed to be a message.
Okay, hold on.
I got this.
- It's... changing!
- It almost sounds like a voice.
Almost got it!
Ugh! Oh, great.
What's happening?
Where's the signal?
Uh, looks like the van
battery couldn't handle all this.
I had a feeling this wouldn't work.
There's just no way Greg's
equipment can interface with our
ancient gem technology.
Aw, come on, Pearl!
You can't be ready to give up yet!
Look, we just got to keep trying.
Sure, we don't have the latest
and greatest "gem tech" but...
It's okay, Greg.
You tried.
Back to the temple.
We'll figure something else out.
- What a waste of time.
- See ya later, Gregory.
Aw, come on, y'all!
Hup! Oof!
- I really blew it, huh?
- Aw, Dad...

Eh. That's a "B" side.
Dad, I hate seeing
you like this.
There's got to be
something else we can try.
Eh, I don't know, Steven.
I mean, sound and stuff like this?
This stuff's my whole world.
And if I can't figure this out, then...
maybe it isn't even sound.
But, Dad, if it isn't sound, then...
what else could it be?
Hmm...
Hmm...
Wait.
Wh-a-a-a-at?
D-a-a-a-ad!
I'm not that far away from you, buddy.
- What if it's...
- Uh, some other thing
I'm not good at?
Magic...
eyeballs?
Oh, my days! It's video!
We have to tell the gems!
- Vide-o-o-o-o!
- Hey! Slow down!
I just want to help!
Have some faith in ...
- We over here.
- I know my audio equipment
seems like a pile of Earth
junk to y'all, but I ...
- Greg, it's okay.
- No, it's not!
You guys don't give up on
anything ... except for me!
Come on! It's not like
I can make it any worse!
Go for it, Garnet.
- Okay, Amethyst, try it now.
- Never started a car
with a key before.
That's way easier!
The battery's ready to go.
The wailing stone's ready!
Ready with the video cord, Steven?
Ready!
- Is that it?
- Just a second...
I ... I hear something.
Come on...
- Steven!
- Lapis?
- I did it!
- I can't believe my
- flipping eyes!
- Everyone, listen up!
I hope you're able to hear this.
There's a gem that's looking for you.
She even knew your name.
I don't know how ...
I didn't tell her, I swear!
She's on her way to Earth.
And she's not alone!
Steven, home world...
it's not the way it used to be.
Everything here is so advanced!
I can't even understand it!
There's no way anything on Earth
can stand up to it!
Please don't put up a fight!
It will only lead to devastation!
It's Peridot. She must
be talking about Peridot.
- She's coming for us!
- Lapis...
- she sounds so unhappy.
- I really cannot believe...
Seriously bad news!
What are we gonna do?
- Whew!
- Wha?
- We did it.
- What?!
- We got the message.
- But ...
It's got.
Thank you, Greg.
We would not have received this
- message without your help.
- You ... You're welcome.
My Dad is...
the best!
Oh, my gosh!
Steven's a robot! Help!
I can't relate to my robot son!
My mind is the internet.
I know every continuity mistake
ever made on television.
Whoo!
- That sounded great!
- Aw, thanks.

"Water witch."
