Steven attempts to hold a birthday party for each of the Gems in order of Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet. Not understanding human customs, the standard birthday traditions soar over the Gems' heads, which causes Steven to wonder if he's being too immature. As he leaves and walks through town, he unknowingly begins to age rapidly, with every action causing him to grow older several years. By the end of the day, he's become a middle-aged man, and he finally realizes this when he walks into the Big Donut and realizes Lars and Sadie don't recognize him.
