* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E10StevensLion "Steven's Lion"]], [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E17Lion2TheMovie "Lion 2: The Movie"]], and [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E35Lion3StraightToVideo "Lion 3: Straight to Video"]] [[SubvertedTrope don't actually have much to do with each other]] as far as their individual plots are concerned, aside from Lion having a major role in each. "Lion 2" and "Lion 3" receive an ''actual'' follow-up in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E45RosesScabbard "Rose's Scabbard"]], which revisits certain elements of the previous episodes (in particular, Rose's armory and her CoolSword). [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E20Lion4AlternateEnding "Lion 4: Alternate Ending"]] follows up on "Lion 3" in a different way, as Steven reassesses the message from his mother to find some hidden purpose.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E27HouseGuest "House Guest"]], the first episode of the first season's second half, deals with one of the immediate consequences of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E25MirrorGem "Mirror Gem"]]/[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E26OceanGem "Ocean Gem"]], the half-season finale (Greg's broken leg, an injury he suffered in "Ocean Gem").
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E2OpenBook "Open Book"]] is one to [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E19RosesRoom "Rose's Room"]]. Both are set in the eponymous room, and both have a similar plot where Steven has to deal with the room's strange effects.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E38TheTest "The Test"]] kicks off when Steven discovers that the Sea Spire mission from [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E3CheeseburgerBackpack "Cheeseburger Backpack"]] was a test, which he thinks he failed.
* The first episode of season 2, [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E1FullDisclosure "Full Disclosure"]], picks up directly from the ending of the season 1 finale, [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E48TheReturn "The Return"]]/[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E49JailBreak "Jail Break"]], as Steven tries to cope in the aftermath of the latter.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E12WeNeedToTalk "We Need to Talk"]] is a direct follow-up to [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E5StoryForSteven "Story for Steven"]], both [[WholeEpisodeFlashback Whole-Episode Flashbacks]] centered on Greg and Rose. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E16GregTheBabysitter "Greg the Babysitter"]] is a third set later still, though the focus is a bit more on Greg specifically.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E20CoachSteven "Coach Steven"]] centers on Garnet and Amethyst fusing, inspiring anxiety (and a song) from Pearl until their fusion goes out of control and Pearl has to stop her. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E14CryForHelp "Cry for Help"]] starts with Garnet deciding to fuse with Pearl instead of Amethyst for a similar task, causing Amethyst to experience similar feelings (and also a song), [[spoiler:but their fusion goes wrong [[AddictiveMagic in a different way]]]].
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E1SuperWatermelonIsland "Super Watermelon Island"]] is not only a sequel to [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E34WatermelonSteven "Watermelon Steven"]], it is also part of the resolution of two separate {{Story Arc}}s ([[spoiler:Malachite and the Cluster/Peridot's redemption]]). [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E27Escapism "Escapism"]] returns to the Watermelon Stevens' island, but it's more of a backdrop as Steven is there for incidental reasons.
* The plot of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E11BeachCityDrift "Beach City Drift"]] is kicked off when Kevin, the guy who harassed Steven and Connie in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E37AloneTogether "Alone Together"]], reappears, causing them to try to get back at him. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E10KevinParty "Kevin Party"]], he comes back again and invites them to a party, which they use as an opportunity to reconnect when they'd spent the last few episodes not speaking to each other.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E23MonsterBuddies "Monster Buddies"]] ends with Steven hoping he'll find some way to help a Gem monster he befriended. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E14MonsterReunion "Monster Reunion"]] begins with Steven discovering that his healing powers still work, and he partially succeeds in using them for just such a task.
* In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E17HistoricalFriction "Historical Friction"]], the characters [[ShowWithinAShow put on a play]] about the founding of Beach City. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E3BuddysBook "Buddy's Book"]] picks up where the play's story left off. However, it stars the play's {{Deuteragonist}}, which makes it more of a SpinOff Sequel Episode.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E9TigerMillionaire "Tiger Millionaire"]] is a ProWrestlingEpisode where Steven discovers Amethyst wrestles as PercussiveTherapy, and joins her to have fun together. Several seasons later, [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E18TigerPhilanthropist "Tiger Philanthropist"]] shows they were still wrestling, but Amethyst quits suddenly because she feels better about herself, leaving Steven uncertain whether to keep at it or how.
* In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E10TheNewLars "The New Lars"]], Steven possesses Lars' body. Everyone likes Lars more for this, and only Sadie gets suspicious, which makes Lars realize no one else really knows him. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E22TheGoodLars "The Good Lars"]], Lars tries to use baking for a potluck as an opportunity to open up to other people.
* [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]] ends with Sadie joining Steven, Buck, Jenny, and Sour Cream's band [[spoiler:after quitting her job]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E14TheBigShow "The Big Show"]] is Steven's in-universe documentary of the band several months later as Greg gets them a gig in Empire City.
