Theory 1: They pretty much are. A theory people have is that Sapphire may be a cyclops of some kind.

Theory 2: I don't necessarily think she'd get "Garnet power and strength" because that's Garnet exclusive though that transformation would get a strength boost.

Theory 3: Just about everyone wants Lapis back (me included) so who knows. Don't think she'd joing the CG though considering she hates them so much. She'll most likely act as an ally when the CG or Steven need backup.

Theory 4: They didn't necessarily die (more like were forced to temporarily abandon their "physical" forms). It'll probably happen soon though considering it almost happened before when she cracked her gem.

(Sn: Jasper is a her.)
