* ChekhovsGun: "If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs".

The Off-Colors finally make it back to Earth for Lars to be reunited with Sadie.

* HistoryRepeats: Just like his mom before him, Steven finds himself at odds with the Diamonds. Both of them, as Pink Diamond, attempted and failed to use peaceful argument and persuasion to convince the Diamonds, and the only course left is to change their personas (into Rose Quartz and Steven respectively) and fight them. The main difference is that while Pink Diamond changed from her original identity to the assumed identity of Rose Quartz, Steven shed his assumed identity as Pink Diamond and is fighting them under his real identity, as Steven.

!!Tropes:
* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant:
** Steven's refusal to stay in line causes White Diamond to finally take action after thousands of years of lethargy.
--->'''White Diamond:''' Now, Starlight... this has gone on ''long enough''.
** Also, arguably, Steven himself - he's got the powers of a Diamond, but has always tried his best to find a peaceful resolution to his problems. Now that his attempts to get through to the Diamonds have failed, he seems more ready to use his powers for ''battle'' - case in point, he hurls his shield at ''[[FourStarBadass Yellow Diamond]],'' and actually [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu nullifies her lightning from the impact]]!
* BewareTheNiceOnes:
** Blue Diamond (well, for a generous definition of nice anyhow), as it turns out, is willing to use force against "Pink Diamond" when the latter's rebellion pushes her too far.
** Also Steven himself, who shows a quiet determination to save the other Crystal Gems - even if that means fighting the ''Diamonds'' single-handed.
* BigShutUp: Blue Diamond gets so fed up with Steven that she throws an energy ball at him, screaming, "''THAT'S '''ENOUGH!'''''"
* CombiningMecha: The Diamonds' bodyships are capable of combining into one ship, as shown when White's torsoship attaches to Pink's legship.
* DidntSeeThatComing: As explained below, Yellow was ''not'' counting on Steven being powerful enough to disable her lightning powers.
* ExtraLongEpisode: This episode is forty-four minutes long (translating to an hour long on TV, including commercial breaks), compared to the usual eleven minutes and the occasional twenty-two minutes.
* FrickinLaserBeams: Blue Diamond attacks Steven by hurling a ball of energy at him.
* HesBack: Steven's back to wearing his trademark outfit in the trailer, showing that he's finished with trying to adhere to the Diamonds' perceptions of what he ought to be as "Pink Diamond".
* HistoryRepeats: Just like his mom before him, Steven finds himself at odds with the Diamonds - friendly argument and persuasion have failed and combat is the only course left - the main difference is that Steven isn't going to put on the same elaborate deception that his mother did with her "Rose Quartz" persona - he's directly fighting them as himself.
* OhCrap: Yellow Diamond's expression when Steven disables her [[OneHitKO Diamond lightning]] with one well-thrown shield suggests this.
* TranquilFury:
** Not ''exactly'', but Steven seems a lot more serious and determined, and apparently willing to accept that there's no use reasoning with the Diamonds anymore.
** A much straighter example is found in White Diamond - when taking to the field, her DissonantSerenity does nothing to hide the fact that she's ready to end "Pink Diamond"'s rebellion by ''any'' means necessary.
