It's also possible that in such an event, she might have gotten injured and retreated into her gem. It'd be interesting if that's the state they found her in, and they just bubbled her away before she had a chance to regenerate. I think that she would regenerate just before they bubble her and trap her in a room to investigate her. She could either lie her way out to say oh she's good or tell steven her point of view of the war in earth and steven won't know what to do. My friend and I were discussing this topic, my friend said something similiar to what Gnx486 was saying but instead he thinks that Steven would keep her a secret. If this was half a season ago I'd agree, but I think Steven knows better than that at this point. The last time he made an executive decision with Peridot, well, The Return happened, so I think he's probably done keeping secrets from the gems like that.

Can't think of any other scenario that could work though aside from finding Peridot in a regenerative state. Obviously the show can't go too long without addressing her whereabouts because she could easily find a warp pad and manually reactivate the Kindergarten, and if they encounter her alive, at least in this episode, I don't see how they'd be able to deal with that. But given how this show's worked so far, odds are we'll probably all be pleasantly surprised by whatever happens.
