* AnAesop:
** While getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things is fine and all, sometimes playing to your strengths is the better option.
** People need to discover their likes and dislikes on their own; you can't just assign them a bunch of different jobs randomly and expect things to work out.
** Changing things just for the sake of changing them is often a recipe for trouble; instead, ask people about their strengths, then find new, interesting ways for them to utilize those strengths, rather than forcing them into doing something they have no idea how to do.

* CondescendingCompassion: This is the first episode to showcase how this trope becomes Steven's FatalFlaw in ''Future.'' After hearing about Amethyst's Gem relocation program, he praises her efforts in a patronizing tone before immediately taking it upon himself to "fix" what she did, having become so used to being the one who fixes everything that he doesn't know how to recognize when they don't need it. Amethyst later explains that she ''talked'' to all of the Gems in the program and helped them figure out what they wanted to do rather than simply assigning them roles based on their powers, and [[WhatTheHellHero calls Steven out]] for not doing the same.

* StopBeingStereotypical: Steven doesn't really like how all the Gems work at jobs that basically look similar to the jobs they used to do on Homeworld, so he goes out of his way to give them different jobs. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Chaos ensues.]] Admittedly, this is a point that is born from a good place: he and the Crystal Gems fought a war so that gems ''didn't'' have to go and do the same things that Homeworld created them for, so seeing them fall back into those roles seems like a step backwards.

Amethyst has been helping Little Homeschool Gems find jobs on the boardwalk, but Steven isn't sure about her approach.

to:

The episode begins with Amethyst and Steven at Fish Stew Pizza. Steven notices Bixbite working behind the counter by chopping toppings and cutting a pizza into equal slices. Amethyst reveals that she has been helping pairing Gems from Little Homeschool Gems find with Beach City jobs, including some Rubies that enter with Mayor Nanefua acting as her bodyguards.
Steven and Amethyst go to Beach City Funland, where he sees that many of the Quartzes are now working there. Amethyst shows him that Nephrite is skywriting with Andy's plane and that Larimar and Snowflake Obsidian have found ice-related
jobs on the boardwalk, but boardwalk. Steven isn't sure gets concerned because many of the jobs now held by the Gems are very similar to the jobs they originally held on Homeworld. Amethyst reassures him that this is not the case, only for Nanefua's Ruby guards to walk by and exclaim happily that their jobs are just like what they used to do on Homeworld. Despite Amethyst explaining that these are the jobs the Gems wanted, Steven says that the Gems only think they want to do the jobs and that he must get them out of their comfort zones. He speaks with Larimar and Snowflake Obsidian, who are running a snow-cone stand together. When asked, Snowflake and Larimar both reveal they had ice-related jobs on Homeworld. To "fix" this, Steven tries to get Snowflake to fly with Andy in his airplane, though she is clearly unsure. He then places Larimar in charge of The Appalachian, which she is excited about, as she claims that human screams are her "favorite of the Earth's delights".
After randomly pairing up Gems with different jobs, Steven goes to relax at Fish Stew Pizza. The star iris begins to close in on Steven as he exclaims that he's excited to see how everyone is going to learn and grow outside of their comfort zones, only for it to stop and reverse once Steven gets hit in the face with pizza thrown by Zebra Jasper. More pizzas are delivered violently, knocking over bystanders. Steven goes outside to find Beach City in chaos. After seeing the disaster caused by Gems with unfitting jobs, he finds Amethyst at the Funland Arcade and apologizes to her for not trusting her Gem-mentorship program, asking for her help to "unhelp" everyone he "helped". She accepts his apology and leaves the arcade to assist him.
They fuse into Smoky Quartz to stop Snowflake Obsidian, who is
about to crash the airplane she is flying. They are able to set her approach.and Andy down on the ground, apologizing and asking if they are okay. The two nod their heads, still traumatized. Smoky then heads to Funland, where Larimar has lost control of the Appalachian. Steven and Amethyst argue through Smoky Quartz, distressed that they won't make it in time, until Smoky turns pink, giving them the ability of super speed while also slowing down time. With this, they easily save the roller coaster passengers. Just as they prepare to stop the roller coaster from crashing, their powers go back to normal and it flies off the track and into the ocean. Smoky then accepts that while saving people from crashing on a roller coaster, the roller coaster's still gonna crash in the end.
Later on, they are talking at the beach, and Amethyst says she feels like she has finally found her place in the world in helping other Gems do the same for themselves. She then asks Steven what he wants to do for his future. Steven explains he still desires to help others but feels he's losing his touch. Larimar then walks up, holding a stuffed bear behind her back, and gives it to Steven as thanks for giving her a job at Funland. She tells him that she discovered she is not great at operating a roller coaster, but that she is good at handing out prizes to children. She states that she loves their laughter, which is "just like screaming" (to which Steven is visibly disturbed). They then see the crashed roller coaster floating by, with Onion still in one of the cars. Steven is at first worried but then calms down, knowing that Onion will be fine.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Amethyst was right that it's necessary to talk to the people she's helping instead of just saying "do this job" and "StopBeingStereotypical", Larimar did demonstrate that Steven had at least a bit of a good idea in throwing the Gems into new situations, as Larimar takes to working at Funland better than they were at their old job.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The whole Aesop about how it's fine to like what you were "made to do" could very easily translate into the real world, as long as it's not the standard that anyone should go by and it's what you like. For example there's third wave feminists reclaiming femininity and [[TheFundalmentalist (generally)]] why western Muslims practice their religion.
