And Steven!

It was so intense down there!

We were already a few layers
into the earth's crust

when suddenly...
wa-pamo! Ka-powie!

All these gross cluster limbs

started clawing at the drill!

So, I whip out the old
photon blaster and "pew! Pew!"

P-chow! Chow!"

Take that, cluster!

And Steven was all,
"my feelings!"

And then up
and passes out on me!

Then everything started glowing,
and... Well, yeah, wait.

I'm sure Steven can fill you in
on the rest

since he's the one who saved us.



You should've seen it,
right, Steven?

Tell 'em what happened in there!

Steven?

Hold on a sec.

I'll be right back.

I see you're worried
about your friend.

Yeah.

When I saw her in my dreams,

it looked like
she was fighting so hard

to keep Malachite from escaping.

Lapis spent an unbearable amount
of time fused with Jasper.

The emotional and physical
strain of that type of fusion,

I can't imagine.

She's gonna need
a lot of time to recover.

You're right.

Come on.
I'm dying to hear more

about what happened underground.

Okay.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Lapis, you're okay!

Steven!

You're... Leaving.

I have to, Steven.

I don't belong on earth,
not with the crystal gems.

I never have.

It's okay.
I understand.

I just wish
we could've hung out more.

I feel like
I only get to see you

when something horrible's
going on.

That's just how it is with me.

Steven... Thank you.

Goodbye again.

Bye.

Are you sure you want to stay?

You could always
come back to the temple with us

and live in the bathroom again.

No thanks.

I have seen what goes on
in there.

Besides, I've grown accustomed
to this place.

And I should probably
fix the hole that I made

with my giant robot.

Mm. Okay, well,
have fun redecorating!

Well, that's everything...
And then some.

Steven, you ready to go home?

All seat belts are fastened!

Peridot says she's staying.

Eh, it's probably for the best.

I don't think
she would've fit in the van.

You guys go on ahead.
I'll catch up with you on lion.

Sure, uh, okay.

I'll see you in a bit.

See yaaa!

Now, where is that feline?

Lion?!

Hey, lion?!

Le-e-e-e-e-e-on!

I have a big steak right here
in my hand for you!

Whoops, I dropped it,
and it fell out of existence.

You can't hide from me for too
long 'cause you love me so much!

Whoa!

Lapis!

Whew!

I...Thought you left.

I was leaving.

But then I realized
I've got nowhere to go.

Who knows what they'd
do to me back home

after what I did to Jasper.

I can't go back to homeworld,
and I can't stay here.

Sure, you can.
What?

You can totally stay here.

It doesn't have to be here here.

You can live anywhere.

You don't even have to
stay in beach city

if you don't want to.

Ooh, y-you could live
in surf city or sea city,

aqua town, bayburg,

and that's just the places I
know of off the top of my head!

I can show you around.
Really?

Yeah. We can find you
a new place to live.

I really only know
the tri-state area,

but my phone's got
a global positioning system.

Oh, uh... Okay.

Let's go look.

Ready, Freddy?

My name's Lapis.

You okay like this?
Mm-hmm.

Uhhhh! Uhhhh!

Uhh!

Whoo!

So, how about this?

You could live out here
in the country!

No noise, no rules.

It'd just be you
becoming one with nature.

Whoa!

Why would I want to do that?

It's fun!

If you lived in these trees,

you could build
a giant bird's nest

and have squirrels for pets.

You could eat acorn pie
every night,

and when it gets hot
or it rains,

you'd be protected
by these nice leaves.

Leaves?

Lapis, look at this!

This leaf turned orange.

That means the seasons are
changing from summer to fall.

Soon, it's gonna happen to
all the leaves on all the trees.

Wow.

So, what do you think?

Oh. I'm not sure.

That's okay.

There's plenty of places
we haven't been yet.

Come on.

What's this?

This must be empire city!

Isn't it cool?

It's very... Bright.

Yeah, that's why they say,

"what happens in empire city
never sleeps"!

So, what does happen
in empire city?

Well, let's see...

If you lived here,
you could get a cool apartment

and be a single gem
taking on the big city.

You'd have a fun job
at a local coffee shop

and come home
to a wacky roommate.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Aw.

Hey, what's that shadowy place
over there?

Oh, that's Jersey.

Is it populated by machines?

No, those are cars.

They make a lot of smog, though.

Y-you'd like it in Jersey.

The people here
seem to hate the earth, too.

Quit flyin' in our sky,
ya mooks!

Pbht!!

Wow.

Lapis, it's so beautiful
up here!

Eh, it's all right.

I guess I can see
why you like it.

Hold on!

Whoa!

Check it out!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, we made it out
all the way over the ocean!

I wonder how far out we are.

Oh, cool.
The galaxy warp!

Um, Lapis? I'm slipping
a little there, bud.

Lapis.
Lapis, I'm slipping!

I'm gonna...

uh, sorry!

I'm sorry.

This is where I was abandoned.

What happened?

Whoa.

It's like a mirror.

It was thousands of years ago.

I was only meant to visit
for a short time,

but I got caught...

In the middle of a war.

It was awful.

I tried to run, but...

I was picked up
by a homeworld soldier

and confused
for a crystal gem...

And used as a tool.

They'd ask me,
"show us your base.

Where is your leader?"

I didn't know, and I couldn't
say, "I'm not one of them."

It soon became clear
that there was no hope

in stopping the rebellion.

All of the homeworld gems fled.

In all the panic of escaping
earth, I was left behind.

And there I stayed.

Freedom in my sight,
but out of reach for ages.

Until I was found.

Are you okay?

I'll... Be fine.

Let me take you back.

Are you sure you don't want
to take a minute?

It's fine.
I just want to get out of here.

Okay.

For a moment, I really felt like
things were different.

But they're not.

No matter where I go,
I'm trapped.

But you're not.

You're not underwater,
you're not in a mirror.

This time, you're free!

But I'm still on earth.

Yeah, but nothing is still
on earth.

Everything's always changing.

The leaves...

The cities...

Even Jersey changes.

My dad says the rest stops
used to be pretty gross,

but now they have Sushi!

This isn't the same world
that held you prisoner...

not anymore, and I know
it doesn't feel like home,

but maybe that can change, too.

I know you can't
go back to homeworld,

but if you stay here...

It'll be your choice
to stay here.

It's funny.

For all the time
I spent on earth,

I barely saw any of it.

That's not funny.

That's super sad.

I...

I want to see it.

Yeah?

I want to stay here.

Here?
Like, here here?

Yeah, here here!

Yes, hear, hear, everybody!

What are we talking about?

You?!

Lazuli, nice to see you
up and about.

What are you doing here?!

This is my new home
away from homeworld!

No, it's not!
It's mine!

Right, Steven?

Uh...

Oh, boy.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
