Sadie Killer

"You're not Sadie Miller. You're Sadie Killer."

"Sadie Killer" is the 9th episode of the fifth season of Steven Universe and the 137th episode overall.

Official Synopsis
Steven and The Cool Kids start a band, but they have trouble finding their sound.

Plot
Steven enters the Big Donut, meeting a rather tired Sadie ready to take his order. After giving a long and elaborate order, Sadie asks what all the food is for and Steven reveals its food for band practice for him, Sour Cream, Jenny, and Buck Dewey. Steven says its a great outlet for everything that's happened recently, which then prompts him to ask Sadie if she's doing okay. She says since Lars being in space, its been hard managing all the shifts at the big donut by herself. Steven then invites her to stop by, which she shakily agrees to given her busy schedule.

Later at Band practice, Buck Dewey tells everyone that they have a gig during the weekened, much to the shock of everyone else considering they have neither a band name, a set list, or even a sound they decided on. The four of them spend the entire practice arguing about what songs they should play, a task ultimately futile given their differing musical tastes. Sadie than walks in right as they are about to leave, much to her disappointment, saying she hopes they have a practice when she's not working.

The next day as Sadie is approaching the Miller household, she is surprised by Steven and the Cool Kids who followed her from work. Sadie rushes down to her basement room cleaning up and hiding things while the others marvel at how much space she has. While looking for a more comfortable place to sit, Buck accidentally sits on Sadie's hidden collection of horror movies. Despite Sadie's embarrassment, Jenny is happy to see she has a copy of "The Lurch" which she considers a classic.

While they watch the film, Steven brings up that they should find their sound to which Sour Cream says that he likes the sound of the film. Steven and the Cool Kids then start playing spooky sounding music, until finally Sadie sings in peforming "The Working Dead". After the short performance, everyone applauds Sadie, with Buck even giving her the nickname "Sadie Killer". They then invite Sadie to be their frontman, but Sadie says she can't due to her having work the next day, much to the other's disappointment.

The next day at the Big Donut, Steven comes to ask Sadie for advice on song lyrics, as he's incapable of doing scary lyrics. Sadie than states how sad she is working a job without the one person she cared about making her so unhappy, and while being in the band could be fun the uncertainty of it made her scared. After hearing her vent, Steven than sings a short song that Sadie asks if that's what she sounds like, but Steven says no as when she sings about it it sounds like a real problem for her.

Later that evening, the band is about to leave, sadly without "Sadie Killer" much to their sadness. Steven attempts to be as scary as Sadie, but ultimately fails for being too cute. During the car ride they stop the car looking for the directions of the venue, where suddenly Sadie comes running up to the car. She tells them that she can come to the show, as well as every show and practice after words. When Steven asks about work, she promptly replies "I quit!" happily.
