And Steven!

[ Creature snarling ]

Here's another one!

Got it, Steven!
Ready...

Go!

-Grab its legs!
-That's not a leg!

Ow!

[ Crash! ]

It's a little
disturbing that

Jasper was just keeping these
corrupted gems in cages.

Isn't that
what we're doing?

That's different.

Garnet: They're cared for
in the stasis of the bubble.

As long as they're bubbled,
they can't hurt anyone --



and they won't suffer.

It's what Rose wanted.

Huh. I guess this is
the last of 'em.

[ Snarls, roars ]

[ Laughs ]

I can't believe these dumb
things used to be gems!

Pearl, Amethyst,
get ready.

This one is flighty.

Are corrupted gems not like this
on homeworld?

We don't have anything like this
on homeworld.

Here we go.

Garnet!

[ Whip cracks ]

[ Snarling ]

[ Laughing ]
That was terrible!

This is harder than it looks,
you know!

How could you all be outsmarted
by that thing?

Well, first,
it ran over Garnet,

and then Amethyst tried
to use her --

Uh, we don't need
the play by play.

Mistakes happen -- even when
you can see the future.

Yeah, Peridot.
Let's see you do better.

Well, I saved all your butts
from Jasper.

I suppose I could
help you here, too.

Feel free.

This'll be a great chance
to show off my metal powers!

Then our work here is done.

Uh, I-I'm...

Are you seriously
going to help her?

It's just...

she's all alone out here,
with no idea what she's doing.

Oh, Peridot will be fine.

I meant the monster!

[ Chuckles ]
Okay.

Take as long as you need.

Pearl:
Uh, Garnet, are you sure?

Wait! [ Panting ]

Did the others ask you
to bring me back?

No, I came to help!

It usually takes all of us
to capture a corrupted gem.

That's because you try
to out-brute it.

We're going
to outsmart it!

So...I can help?

I could use your experience
dealing with these things.

It just doesn't seem fair.

Why's that?

With you and me teaming up,

that thing
won't stand a chance.

[ Both laughing ]

Yeah!

After it!

What's it doing?

Maybe it likes
shiny things?

[ Grunting ]

This is perfect!

I've just concocted
a flawless Peri-plan!

So what's the P.P.?

If I use my metal powers,

the whole thing will fall
onto the monster!

Give it a try!

Carefully...

[ Snarling ]

It's...not falling.

Maybe another leg
needs to go.

[ Gasps ]

[ Growls ]

Fall!

You stupid...

[ Chatters ]

Oh, come on!

[ Grumbling ]

Fall already!

Peridot, watch out!

Oh, right.
Thank you.

[ Grunts ]

Uh, Peridot!

There it is!
Get it!

[ Shrieking ]

Keep distracting it!
I'll finish it off!

[ Thud! ]

You okay?

I think we need to...

revise our strategy.

Peridot: Are you ready for
the second Peri-plan?

The first one
wasn't so great.

Yes, noted, Steven.

But this plan
is even more flawless!

I cannibalized the injector to
make a rudimentary cannon!

Observe.

Whoa! Impressive!

You got that right.

This way, we can take it out
from a distance!

Oh, there it is!

I got it!

[ Shrieking ]

Heh, you clod.

[ Click ]

Huh?

[ Sighs ]
Work, you stupid --

[ Growling ]

Uh...hey.

You win this round.
[ Chuckles nervously ]

[ Screams ]

Okay.

I've analyzed the problems with
the previous two Peri-plans.

Relying on the injectors
introduced

too many complicating
variables.

Now we only have to rely
on simple physics!

We'll wait until it gets
right up under us,

not suspecting a thing --
because it's so dumb!

And then we'll drop this rock
on its stupid head!

It's even more flawless!

And at this height,
nothing can fall on us!

What if it doesn't stop
where we want it to?

I'm doing the best I can,
Steven!

[ Grunts, roars ]

[ Screaming ]

I --

[ Screaming ]

[ Panting ]

[ Screaming ]

I think --

You don't poof easily,
huh?

Us Peridots are tougher
than we look!

[ Insects chirping ]

Yes!

This is going to work.
This is going to be perfect!

This is going to be...

[ Creaking ]

...a waste of my time.

Why can't I master this?

Aw, Peridot, it's okay.

Even if none of
your Peri-plans worked,

at least they were
really funny.

The others will probably
think so, too,

when we go back
and get 'em.

Go back?

Let it be known that I, Peridot,
refuse to move forward --

or back --
until I am victorious.

Right.

I don't get it.

I'm smarted than
your average Peridot.

How did I fail today against
some barely functional,

stupid,
cloddy, dumb-dumb?!

Hey, hey, corruptions
aren't dumb.

They just think a little
different, that's all.

Okay, just to make sure
my Earth vocabulary

is correct on this...
let's say I'm a monster.

I spend all my time slamming
my face into hard objects

and throwing my tongues
in the air for fun.

How am I not...dumb?

Well, she must be doing
something right.

She hasn't fallen for any
of your Peri-plans.

It's luck!

Nothing that thing does
makes any sense!

Hey.

[ Growls ]

[ Yells ]

Why are you bombarding me with
your confectionery puff rocks?!

To show you what it's like
to be a monster!

Pretend I'm a freaked-out
human screaming at you in fear!

Pretend I'm an Earth animal
chasing you

away from your first
safe hiding spot!

Pretend I'm an angry green gem
trying to poof you!

This is life
for you now --

endless suffering!

[ Grunting ]

[ Yells ]

[ Panting ]

There! You see?
Yeah.

What you're doing
makes total sense.

You remember
what it was like

to have everything important
taken away?

Being under attack?
Feeling trapped?

You were frustrated.
So is she!

Why don't you try thinking
about all of this

from her point of view?

Hmm.

[ Grunting ]

You can do it.

Ugh.

I can't take this dirty
tongue-flapper seriously.

Think...like...a monster.

Blap!

Blap!

[ Grunting happily ]

Blap!

Aw.

[ Chortles ]

Hey!

[ Gasps ]

It's okay!
We don't want to fight!

Just let
Peridot bubble you!

We can all get along --

[ Screaming ]

[ Yelling ]

No, no, no, no, no!

Give me...that...gem!

[ Screeches ]

Peridot!

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]

I did it.

[ Sighs ]

Oh, hey, you're back!

Eh, we never really left.

We knew it'd be funny.

Future vision.

You...you were all watching
this whole time?

I told you I could do it.

But I have to admit, it was more
difficult than expected.

This corrupted gem was truly
an adversary worthy of my skill.

Whoa! Peridot!

Nice bubble, Peri!

W-What do I do with it?

Garnet: Send it off.

Just tap the top.

Happy trails!

So, where did it go?

Home.

[ Waves crashing ]
