Here is a long, maybe crazy, idea I've had.

1) At some point, in a previous episode, Peridot has figured out what Lion is, and consequently what Steven is. She has found that Rose caused a corrupt gem to fuse with Greg's cat (as hinted at in Maximum Capacity). The result was Lion. This allowed Rose to figure out how to fuse herself with a baby clone of Greg, the result was Steven.

2) As a result of the Crystal Gems stopping the Cluster, Yellow Diamond is sending an army to Earth.

3) Peridot's discovery of what Lion and Steven are opens the possibility of using the stored corrupt gems to fuse with earth animals, and possibly humans, to create an army to oppose the Homeworld gems. This would be risky, but might be the only way. So "Gem Harvest" is about attempting to create the army.
