Eh. I guess I can see why you say that, and I was pretty upset with the episode when it cmae out. I however, would defend Connie in that from what I know and have seen, she wasn't overreacting per se. Reacting in a way that wasn't good? Yeah, her and Steven both. I'll be using stuff from Connie's episode on the SU Podcast (if you haven't seen it, would advise watching it, one of my favorites and reasons out Connie's feelings and thoughts on why she acted this way in this ase.)

1. Watching your best friend voluntarily give themself up and being taken away to their death is pretty traumatic. It's not like before, where she can help or there was some chance or survival. No, Steven is taken to Homeworld, they don't have a ship, Lion can't warp that far, and likely immediately to his death. That's gonna make you upset no matter what. Her having some distance was a way to deal with the feelings that Steven was inches away from death, and she couldn't do anything about it. (re Gemcation, Greg's words to Steven, and the Podcast).

2. He gave himself up when she believed they still had a chance. To look at it objectively, did they have a chance? Eh...they were all in the water and Steven was up on the ship with Topaz and Aquamarine, but...he didn't even try (with 5 highly trained warriors who can cross gem fuse, which makes pretty powerful ocmbinations against 3 with one same gme fusion..)....for something they had promsied to work together toward, to defend and protect each other (re Sworn to the Sword, Gem Hunt, Crack the Whip),  and Steven just gave up. Connie felt betrayed, and a somewhat rightfully so (re end of Dewey Wins, and the end of Kevin Party)

3. Steven brushed off her feelgins. Yes, what happened to him was kind of traumatic, and though it does make Steven at least somewhat deserving of forgiveness...it doesn't make that right here either.

In Conclusion: They both reacted in terrible ways to what happened, but, they weren't overreacting, but from what they both felt, entirely reasonable for them to act form a character viewpoint. Does this mean that I believe you can't and shouldn't be mad or upset wit hthis? Stars no, I'm still upset about it and it's been like two months since  I watched it.

What happened here was, to quote the Podcast, "a communication issue (they weren't honest with each other about what and why they felt, at least until Kevin Party), and that can happen even between the best of friends." They both reacted this way because they deeply care about the other, and in the end, this is a growing moment for both of them and their relationship with each other, and Kevin Party is one of my favorite SU episodes.

If you're still upset aobut it, would advise watching the Connie episode form the Podcast. Explains a little bit more  from what I couldn't really explain to the best of my ability. I don't blame you tohugh, I'm sitll a little pissed at them both.
