I can't believe I just did that.



I disobeyed my orders and went
against Yellow Diamond's wishes.

I'm a traitorous clod!

I never want to think
about what I've done again!

I'm a traitorous clod!

I never want to think
about what I've done again!

And I called Yellow Diamond
a clod right to her face!

I called Yellow Diamond
a clod right to her face.

Uh, Peridot, are you gonna be okay?

I'm a traitorous clod.

Traitorous clod.

No.

It's all gonna work out.
You're with us now!

You don't understand.

I'm protecting a planet
I was once trying to destroy.



I used to follow every
order ... every rule.

Now I'm a traitor.
A rebel!

A Crystal Gem-m-m-m-m.

Clod! Clod! Clod!

Well, that tape recorder
seems to be helping.

No, it's not!

It's a chronicle of my
descent into madness!

- You dropped this.
- Get it away from me.

Give it to Steven.
Return madness to its source!

Are you sure you don't want it?

Whatever. It's yours now. Yours.

Not mine. Not mine. Yours. Yours.

- Let's calm down.
- Okay.

So, am I gonna have to wear a star?

Where am I gonna put the star?

They seem to be getting along well.
I wonder when that happened.

Log date 7-1-1-2.

The Steven has given
me this earth machine

to replace my communicator log.

It looks...
extremely primitive.

He also said he wanted me to
stop calling him "the Steven."

It's just "Steven."

I said I'd call him whatever I want!

He told me that was rude.

Rude.

I guess I'll call him "Steven."

The organic life forms of
Earth have fascinating traits

despite their poor choice of residence.

I wonder if all of them
have flight capabilities?

Oh, you must be Peridot.

Whoa!!

- Peridot!
- What do you want?

You can't just shove
someone off of a roof!

- Why not?
- This is a human!

He isn't like us!
He's fragile and soft!

Hey, it's not like a six
pack is gonna save you

- from that height.
- You could have seriously hurt him.

Well, how was I supposed to know that?

Hm.
Greg, you'll have to excuse Peridot.

She's far from her homeworld,

and she still has a lot
to learn about our planet.

- No, I don't!
- Yes, you do!

Uh, hey, yeah.
Don't worry about it!

Ugh!

In conclusion, not all
of the organic beings here can fly.

Additionally, it is, without question,

that the permafusion,
Garnet, is the worst.

Today, I was assigned a "chore" ...
cleaning duty ...

like I'm the Pearl.

These clumps don't know how
lucky they are to have me.

Although, while doing "chore",

I did happen upon
a container containing many...

shirts.

Imagine ... appearance modifiers

that aren't melded to your body.

- Oooh!
- Nice shorts.

How ... How did these get here?!

Log date 7-1-2-2.

Today marks the 30th earth
rotation since my capture.

Happy one month can-aversary!

- Cylinders?
- They're stilts.

You tie them on your feet,
and they make you taller.

I tried to spruce them up
a bit. I don't know what it

is about flames, but they
just make everything cooler.

Why are you giving me these?

Because I want you to feel nice.
That's what gifts are for.

You give them to your
friends to show you care.

And they go, "wow, thanks!"

As if I'd stoop so low as to tie your

earth trash to my body.
Leave me! Go, go, go, go...

Go!
And, wow, thanks!

Why, yes, Pearl, I did get taller.

How correct of you to notice.

Of course, Amethyst, I will acquire

those cheesy chaps for you
off that very high shelf.

Hyah! Whoa.

They even function in reverse!
Ugh!

"Jokes."

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"The chicken wanted to get to
the other side of the road."

What's a chicken?

It seems the earth ones are constantly

filling the voids of their life
with meaningless distractions.

On the last episode of
"Camp pining hearts"...

I don't care that you're
on the yellow team, Percy.

We can make this work!

It's coolor war, Paulette.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

What is this strange ritual?

- Uh, that's umm...
- Are they attempting fusion?

No, well, my dad told me during
certain stages in your life...

How could anyone indulge
in this baseless drivel?!

I'll have no part of it!

Hour 78 of
"Camp pining hearts".

It's the coolor war, Paulette.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Uh, you've been here for a few days.
Is everything okay?

I've just been watching your
previously recorded entertainment.

Is that the same episode
from three days ago?

- There's more than one?
- Mmm... nah.

Oh. You made a picture.

Picture? This isn't
just a picture, Steven!

It's a complex chart

cataloging the compatible
characteristics between campers.

Somehow the rejects at
camp clod fail to recognize

the superior pair that
is Pierre and Percy.

- Well, that's 'cause Paulette likes Percy.
- Paulette. Ha!

Paulette has no place
in the camp's hierarchy.

Now Pierre ... Pierre is a brute!

Pierre laid waste to
the three-legged races.

Pierre and Percy present the
strongest battle formation.

They'd destroy the camp!

- You got all this from one episode?
- It's subtext, Steven.

Allow me to explain.

Well, first of all,

- I remember this part.
- Percy & Pierre are both on the yellow team ...

And that's why Percy and Pierre
are objectively the best for each other!

Gah!

Log date 7-1-3-2.

Progress on the Cluster drill
is going optimal, surprisingly.

Though I have a few complaints
on the work ethic of ...

Hey!

Amethyst, really.
This is no time to be fooling around.

Aw, come on, P.
I'm just trying to lion the mood.

"Lion the mood."

Do you always use
shape-shifting like this?

You mean to be really cool?

- Pretty much.
- But it's such a...

Significant use of energy
compared to the output.

- What was that?
- I've been practicing my "Perry-phrasing."

Pretty impressive in my opinion,
but it's hard to beat the original.

So, can you shift into anything?

Sure.
Got a request?

Bok bok! I'm a chicken!

I get the joke now!

Ha! Yes, well, at least she isn't
"lion around" anymore.

Pearl really tries for some reason,
and I can appreciate that.

Amethyst's company is
entertaining, as well.

But, the fused one...

...eludes me.

Okay, we can add more support as we go,

but for now, we just have to
pick it up and put it on top.

No sweat.

- Let's do this!
- You've got the right idea,

but we might want to
be a bit more careful.

Gotcha.

Shall we?

Huh?

That looks great.
Let's take a break.

What?

- All right, I'm at my limit!
- Evening, Peridot.

Explain it to me, fusion.

I can at least make
sense of your existence

if it's for a functional purpose.
But you?

You're not using your
combined size and strength

- to do anything!
- I'm doing something.

- And what's that?
- Stargazing.

Ich. You can do that alone.

- Don't want to.
- Hm.

You can see Homeworld's
galaxy from here.

You're right.

We're very different.
I appreciate that.

Really?

If you really want to understand
fusion, I can help you.

- What do you mean?
- Let's fuse.

Oh, my stars!

I get it, you're not ready.
That's fair.

- Another time then.
- No! No-No-No.

Just ... just gimme a sec!

Yeah.

Get ready.

No, no, no, no, no!

- I can't do it.
- That's fine.

- Peridot, I'm proud of you.
- Why?!

Because you've made an
effort to understand me.

But I still don't understand you!

Why are you fused all the time?

- I'm Percy and Pierre.
- Oh!

Okay, go.

Log date 7-14-2 ...

No, you say it "7, 1, 4, 2".

Ugh, log date 7, 1, 4, 2.

I have attempted a fusion
with the fusion Garnet.

I had hoped to gain a better
understanding of fusion.

Instead I gained a better
understanding of Garnet.

Wait, keep it on a moment.

Steven, you probably shouldn't
have listened to Peridot's logs,

but I know your curiosity
comes from a place of caring.

You should give the
recorder back to her now.

- She's going to want to keep it.
- Wait, what?

- Here, Peridot, take this back.
- Wow. Thanks.
