You do it for her- that is to say, you’ll do it for him.
Say Uncle
This crossover episode could so very easily have been trash, but instead it’s one of the funniest episodes in the series thus far (and still with plenty of heart).
Joy Ride
The Return
It’s happening…
Political Power
Steven continues to be the only one who really cares about the Crystal Gems’ PR (not that I can really blame them).
Rose’s Scabbard
Marble Madness
This is a fairly straightforward plot-focused episode, wherein Steven considers serious Gem matters with the same sort of care as Connie’s favorite book series.
On the Run
Amethyst is doing stuff she knows that she shouldn’t be (and encouraging Steven to do likewise), meaning something is really bothering her.
The Test
This is a deceptively simple episode that marks something of a turning point in the narrative.
Alone Together
This episode is just quintessential Steven Universe, and I’m pretty sure it’s what finally made me a fan.
