I personally feel like his attitude in this episode is more a lesson learned from Room for Ruby. The scenario was incredibly similar, and he was duped the first time. Naturally, the second time a gem that was antagonistic toward him shows up with a sudden Heel-Face Turn he's going to be suspicious. He'd be stupid not to be. Also, Steven saw (and was an active part of) the transition the other gems (e.g. the Diamonds) went through, from foe to friend. Obviously there's going to be a difference between how you percieve (and thus treat) someone you basically redeemed yourself versus someone who shows up out of the blue and claims redemption, especially someone who tried to kill you last time you saw them. Also pranks really don't help if you're already on edge.
