Jail Break
Steven wakes up with a black eye in a jail cell. He escapes from the jail cell and helps Ruby, a gem he doesn't recognize escape from a nearby jail cell. They are aboard a spaceship. Ruby takes off running looking for Sapphire. Steven chases after Ruby. They find Lapis Lazuli. Steven offers to help her escape but she just wants to stay put.
Steven finds Sapphire and frees her. She is reunited with Ruby and fuses with her to form... Garnet. Steven is stunned. Jasper shows up. Garnet fights with Jasper while Steven finds and frees his Pearl and Amethyst. Pearl redirects the spaceship back towards Earth where it crash lands.
Jasper merges with Lapis Lazuli but Lapis Lazuli pulls a fast one on Jasper and drags their fused form into the ocean.
What an episode. What a way to end the first season. It wasn't exactly a cliffhanger but I have questions. When will Jasper and Lapis Lazuli return? Will they still be fused when they do? Will Ruby and Sapphire split into their individual forms in the future?
Lapis Lazuli has issues. She did the right thing in the end but why did she feel it was necessary to sacrifice herself?
This season was very good. It was nice to see that Steven grew over the course of the 52 episodes I have watched so far. Not every episode was great but I am eager to see where this show goes next.
There are four more seasons (108 episodes) of this show to go plus a movie and a sequel series (Steven Universe Future) that ran for 20 episodes. At the rate I am moving it will probably take me a few years to get through all that.
