Yeah I don't think Sapphire and Ruby were "lost" since the Gems had been discussing how to introduce Steven to them already. (I do think it's a little funny that neither Ruby nor Sapphire appear to have the British accent that Garnet does, but that's tangential to this). Plus, Garnet is their conversations.

Also, I am not sure how the eye multiples play into this theory, since Opal has two eyes (rather than three or four), Sugilite has five, and Garnet three (unless maybe Sapphire has three eyes rather than just the one eye speculation). Unless maybe Sapphire has three eyes (as opposed to one, as speculated, or two), in which case their fusion would then be a perfect overlap (and so maybe Sapphire contributes and shares her future vision rather than it being an extra result of the fusion).

I agree that it does seem like perfect bodily overlap seems to be indicative of the strength of the relationship - maybe it has to do with the ability to coordinate limbs though (since Gems can shapeshift) as a result of that relationship strength (like, Pearl and Amethyst can't agree what they should be handling a lot but having two sets of arms makes decision-making/cooperation easier for them)? We already saw the mouth, uh, disagreement in Alexandrite, and the two mouths she has as a result (I imagine Garnet doesn't really care about eating much either way, which is why there aren't three mouths).

I love how this show make me evaluate the sci-fi considerations/extrapolations of magic/technology partially based on relationships, cooperation, and emotional intelligence.
