>>113701460Okay, Steven freaking out HAS been building up for the entire season, and was also hinted at repeatedly in the original series. The reveal of what was causing it pretty much has to be abrupt. What else were they gonna do?
I do agree that taking him to a human doctor for a clearly gemstuff related malady was a dumb plot contrivance so they could work in a psa about cortisol. But it's not the biggest logical leap in the show and at least it doesn't absolve any brutal genocidal dictators of anything.
