I can see it both ways.

On one hand, Connie's reaction is understandable, since after all of their training and Steven's talk about them protecting the Earth together he would just drop all of that and take action himself. I guess, as happy as she says that he is home (and I believe her, judging by the look on her face at the end of Lars's Head), she feels some sense of betrayal or disappointment that she was either unable to help or Steven wouldn't allow her to (not that she could).

On the other, it is also unfair because they were in a situation where Steven had no choice if he wanted to save them. Aquamarine had them all suspended mid air and even Alexandrite was subdued. There was also a risk that she could have contacted the Diamonds if he continued to resist, regardless of whether or not he revealed that he had Rose's gem. It was like she had a gun pointed at all their heads, especially since she was willing to take life (or at least have Topaz do it) to fulfill her mission!

Regardless of how you would interpret it, it seems that both have some growing up to do. Steven has to realize that he cannot take the world on his shoulders, and Connie has to learn to get a better sense of the whole picture, as she could not have done much, even if they managed to form Stevonnie.

That is my thinking anyway. I may update this post if I get any further insight into this.
