Mr. Greg

"Mr. Greg" is the 8th episode of the third season of Steven Universe and the 86th episode overall.

Synopsis
Steven goes with Pearl and Greg to Empire City on a vacation after Greg obtains a large sum of money. The problem is, Pearl is still feeling resentful about Greg after what happened with Rose.

Plot
The episode begins with the Pepe Burgers commercial on screen being sung by Marty to the tune of Comet. The commercial ends and Steven is seen in the van in awe because that's Greg's song. Greg then brings up how Marty had given him the $10,000,000 check and how he could sing it. Pearl has been near the van hanging out in a way. Greg and Steven sing "Don't Cost Nothing" about how many things are free. Steven brings up going on a vacation in the song. Liking the idea, Greg digs through his van and finds a picture of Empire City, transitioning into the song Empire City. By now Pearl has moved inside. Steven and Greg pack throughout the song. Suddenly, Steven ends the song by suggesting Pearl should come. There's an awkward moment when Pearl and Greg don't want that to happen, but Steven insists.

Driving to Empire City, the Empire City instrumental plays in the background. At Le Hotel, Greg cunningly appears at the counter and hands the employee his business card reading, "Mr. Greg: Bazzzillionaire". Steven appears and smirks like Greg and hands him a wad of cash. The employees, Greg, Steven, and Pearl sing Mr. Greg, basically talking about the fun they're having. Greg sings "So dance with me, saying-" and Pearl corrects him yelling, "No!". Embarrassed, she leaves, and an employee shouts, "Boo! You ruined the song!".
