Legs From Here to Homeworld

"Legs From Here to Homeworld"  is the 25th episode of the fifth season of Steven Universe and the 153rd episode overall.

Synopsis
Steven travels with his family.

Plot
The story starts the next day where "Reunited" left off. Blue Diamond is overjoyed that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. However, Yellow Diamond complains about Pink faking her shattering and not telling them about it. Steven tells Blue and Yellow Diamond that he does not have Pink's or Rose Quartz's memories. Yellow then remarks that his memories might "be in there somewhere". Blue is surprised at the fact that he, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl weren't obliterated from their final attack. Steven then explains to them that the Gems affected by the attack weren't exactly obliterated.

The Gems then warp to Centipeetle's dropship, as Steven proceeds to show the corrupted Centipeetle to the Diamonds. Steven begs the Diamonds to fix her, though they are reluctant, as they have never seen a corrupted Gem before and are unsure where to even begin. Yellow eventually agrees to try, though she makes no promises for success. Yellow uses her power to reform her to her original shape but her mind remains corrupted. Blue uses her power to revert Centipeetle's mind back to a stable state, though she becomes stuck in a continuous loop of her experience in the moments just before her corruption. Steven uses his powers to calm her down, allowing her to regain her senses for the first time since her corruption.

Centipeetle, now fully healed, introduces herself as Nephrite Facet-413 Cabochon-12, and apologizes for not "heeding her commander Hessonite's orders", but she is relieved that the Diamonds are on Earth, believing that they must have defeated Rose Quartz. Yellow and Blue Diamond let go of her out of embarrassment and Nephrite immediately reverts to her corrupted state.

Frustrated, Yellow gripes to Steven about how many "perfectly adequate Gems you had us ruin". Steven is unfazed and demands that they do it again as they clearly have the power to do so. However, Yellow states that it won't work with just the three of them and that they need White Diamond in order for the cure to be permanent. They travel to Rose's Landfill to find Pink Diamond's Ship in order to travel to Homeworld.

The Crystal Gems (aside from Bismuth, who elects to stay behind to watch out for Lapis and Peridot who are in the process of reforming) and Connie, along with the Diamonds, board the ship and leave the Earth. During their flight, both Diamonds express concern over seeing White and fear her rage, as the revelation that Pink was Rose means that the last six thousand years have been an "embarrassment". Yellow matter-of-factly advises Steven to let her do the talking when they arrive, as the chances of Steven being listened to are slim.

Upon arrival, the group is surprised to be greeted by crowds of Homeworld Gems who have gathered at an arena to celebrate Pink Diamond's return. Steven is momentarily reassured, as he believes the assembled Gems are on his side, when White Diamond's Pearl suddenly appears before them. White's Pearl informs the group that White Diamond wishes to see "Pink Diamond" but when Yellow and Blue prepare to follow, White's Pearl clarifies that only Pink Diamond's (Steven's) presence is needed. White Pearl then transports Steven directly to White Diamond's ship. White Diamond welcomes Pink&mdash;as Steven&mdash;home, acting condescending and not giving him a chance to speak for himself. She then immediately transports him to a room full of bubbles overlooking Homeworld, presumably owned by Pink Diamond herself.
