>>112100069> Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl demonstrated their hobbies> Initially dismissive to Steven, Yellow Pearl becomes receptive to the idea of being a model once Blue Pearl reveals she likes to draw> Freckle Lapis discovers she may like to dance> Shoulder Lapis is judgemental not just of dancing but of Freckles Lapis, instead of receptive like Yellow Pearl was with Blue Pearl> Freckles Lapis falls back into line socially> ... But decides to go to Little Homeschool anywaysFuture episode theory:
Shoulder Lapis shows up at Little Homeschool and tries to bully her old friend back under her control but fails (Freckles already found other friends) and flies away over the forest, sees Jasper and then decides to try "making" a friend again by using Jasper to make Freckles jealous.
By the time Shoulder lands Jasper has disappeared and then seizes Shoulder Lapis from behind. Jasper reveals her vulnerable sentimentality of wanting to be Malachite again, but after turning the Lapis around and seeing it's not CG Lapis, Shoulder strikes a deal of fusing with Jasper only after she gets Freckles back.
Jasper and Shoulder return to Little Homeschool and a small clip show happens where Jasper is cold at first then making a genuine effort and by the end starts enjoying herself, but Shoulder is absolutely uninterested and is stalking Freckles. The other Jaspers are present and look concerned.
It ultimately breaks down to where Shoulder confronts Freckles in front of Jasper and a school class of other Jaspers and Amethyst, and says she doesn't understand why Freckles isn't crawling back to her. Freckles says because Shoulder found someone to be friends with so she wasn't worried.
Shoulder reveals the lie.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, /co/?
Personally
Jasper folds inwards and poofs and stays poofed, until Steven fuses with her to "bring her out of it" and she realises then that yes, "Steven is my Diamond."
