Well...doesn't really look like they recognized Lapis. I mean, they recognized that she was a gem but I don't think that they knew her. Garnet, maybe, but I think Pearl doesn't know half of what she thinks she does. Garnet could recognize crystal gems from their broken shards and parts, but Pearl seemed clueless. Steven has the power of empathy(light house gem, trapped lapis, Lion, moss, centipeedle), he understands gems feelings. If this gem has animosity towards gem, the only way for this to workout if Steven uses that empathy to maybe befriend them. Sardonyx could be an anti hero that does their own thing, helps without ever claiming to care about the CG, but secretly cares for Steven. That way, Sardonyx could be a character that gets sparse screen time, but also get us excited at the very mention of their name.
