As fusion is like a relationship, Jasper in this one is like the abused partner who keeps coming back because it's better than being alone. Her position is that she's from a very conservative society and she's just been opened up to these new feelings that are forbidden, so having even an abusive partner is better than none, as being in the physical chains of the abusive rlationship she'd been lured into and trapped in under the water paradoxically let he be free in a way that she never had before: she got to be more than herself, she got to 'fly'. Lapis however had support so was the only one of the two capable of overcoming their co-dependency. Frankly, Jasper is the one in need of help, and being punched clear of Lapis was frankly a mercy on her part, as they really DO need to be apart for a while. It's Jasper I pitied by the end of this episode. It's not a question of due to the number of 'redeemed' characters (hate that phrase as it's far too generic and what each character goes through is different and they start in different places) but it's the fact that Jasper, out of any other character NEEDS 'redeeming' for her own good and for the heroes.
