But, she did little to try to help. I'm sure she could have tried something, but she just sat there and watched. Heck, compared to her in the earlier episodes, it was suprising that she even allowed Steven to follow her on those floating rocks.

And, even after he luckily caught himself, she didn't seem too worried. She just made him climb it himself, which I think was somewhat relating to earlier in the episode, when Pearl carried him up a large cliff to Rose's Armory.

And yea, she's extremely unstable. I'm worried that there might be a story arc later in the series in which Pearl is corrupted into one of those "monster" gems, and the Crystal Gems have to save her.

And, we've already seen that even gems can be injured or killed. Amathyst almost died when she cracked her gem (from falling, might I add), and Garnet has revealed that many gems were killed in the rebellion against Homeworld. Also, regardless of that, Pearl and the other Gems have no idea what kind of powers Steven has. They aren't even sure yet if he can retreated into his gem to regenerate, and I don't think any of the other gems would have taken that chance to let Steven fall and find out.
