Plot:

The CGs are sitting along the beach under the cliff, and Steven is teaching them about Truth or Dare. Amethyst dares Steven to eat a handful of sand, which he does, and Steven dares Garnet to bust a rock. She does so in an awesome way, and Steven is amazed. He complements her, and says that Yellow Diamond won't stand a chance. Garnet frowns as soon as she hears that, and tells Steven that Yellow Diamond is much more powerful than a fusion, and that they would need multiple fusions to beat her. Steven thinks for a while, and decides that he should learn to fuse so he can help the team. Garnet acts cool, but you can see tears streaming down her face as she says ok normally. Everyone gathers on the beach, and Garnet is talking about how to dance in sync with his partner. She calls up Amethyst, and explains how he needs to dance in a way compatible with his partner, but still dancing in his own way. Garnet and Amethyst form Sugilite, who continues to teach Steven about how his thoughts and actions also need to work in sync when fused. Sugilite unfuses, and Amethyst cheers. The scene cuts to Garnet and Pearl preparing to fuse. They form Sardonyx and explain how to summon a weapon, move like a gem (which Steven can not yet do), and unfuse at will. Pearl bows, and Garnet calls Lapis up. She looks a bit worried (after the Malachite incident), but Garnet says that there won't be any problems, and she fuses with Garnet to form Tanzanite. She explains that fusion involves trust, and that if you don't trust someone, a fusion can become unstable. Tanzanite summons her weapon, arm water wings, and shakes Steven's hand with one of them. Tanzanite unfuses, and Lapis walks away a bit shaken, but still fine. Garnet calls Steven up to see if he wants to try to fuse, but it fails. Steven tries fusing more and more, but struggles because he can't sync up with Garnet. He asks if he can take a break, but Garnet doesn't let him because "Yellow Diamond won't give him a break." He keeps trying and trying, and Garnet lets him try and fuse with someone else. He tries with everyone, but just can't sync up. Garnet gets a bit angry and has him try to fuse with her again, but it still doesn't work. Steven asks if he can take a break again, but Garnet still doesn't let him. She tries over and over again, until Steven falls on the floor from cramps. Garnet tells him to get up again, but Steven can't move. She picks him up and tells him to keep trying, and Lapis goes up to her and tells her to stop. Garnet starts yelling in fear, saying that he needed to learn to fuse before Yellow Diamond came, or they were all going to die. Lapis continues totry and stop her until Garnet hits her. Lapis is in the sand in pain, and Garnet is in tears. She shakes in silence for a while until she splits apart. Ruby runs off while Sapphire looks at her crying, and Steven crawls over to Sapphire. Lapis, Amethyst, and Pearl go to Ruby who is in tears over what she had done. Steven asks Sapphire what was wrong, and she says that Ruby had taken complete control out of fear and anger, and she couldn't do anything about it. Meanwhile, Ruby is in the house curled up in the corner. Lapis and the others try and calm her down, but she stays curled up, and mumbles on about how she broke her code, and had hurt another member of the team. Lapis forgives her, but she just looks away. Steven tells Sapphire that it wasn't her fault that Ruby did that, and that if anything it was his. Sapphire smiles while still crying and says that it wasn't his fault, and that it was Garnet's fault. Sapphire, carrying Steven, goes to the house to talk to Ruby. She manages to get through to her, they form Garnet, and she apologizes to everyone. Steven says they can find another way to beat Yellow Diamond, he hugs Garnet, she hugs him, Garnet says yeah, and the stsr closes in on them.
