Plot:

Matthew and the gang are hanging out at the original CG's place, where Matthew and Moonstone are messing around with Topaz, Ruby and Melanite are sitting on opposite sides of the room doing their own thing, and Amber and Pearl are chatting about handling their leadership. Pearl is saying that handling the team is usually easy because of her experiences in life and learning from Garnet. Amber attempts to brag about her leadership skills, but Moonstone bumps into Melanite and they get into a fight. Amber tries asking nicely and calmly trying to break up their fight, but they ignore her. Pearl tells Amber to step aside, and she firmly tells them to stop their bickering, and they stop. Perarl says that Amber has a lot to work on, and she decides to leave with the others. Back at their temple, Amber is sitting down annoyed at her inability to control her team, and Matthew tries cheering her up saying that she has great leadership skills. Amber thanks him, and Melanite comes out of the door and sits down right next to Amber. Amber sees this as a good opportunity to try again, and she kindly asks Melanite to move. Melanite tells her to go sit somewhere else, and she continues ignoring Amber's personal space. Amber gets mildly angry at first, but she calms down and sits down in a nearby chair. Matthew looks at Amber sadly, and the scene cuts to outside where Moonstone is goofing around. Amber asks if she can come help her with something, but Moonstone says that helping her didn't sound fun, and she continues goofing around. Amber again gets a bit angry, but still doesn't do anything. Later that day, Melanite is on her phone (because now that gems coexist with humans, they are more familiarized with their culture and tech), and Moonstone is drinking a glass of milk. Matthew is seeing if he can get his gem to work, and it glows just a tiny bit for the first time. Matthew gets excited along with Moonstone, who throws her glass of milk in the air, landing on Melanite's phone. Melanite gets incredibly angry, and she screams at Moonstone, chasing her with her mace. Amber tries to control her, but Melanite is too angry. Amber quickly questions why Garnet had said that they would be a good team, and she continues to try and control them (still being calm mind you). Matthew, not wanting to get involved with the problem, goes outside and walks along the shore. He picks up a few shells, and finds a really big orange rock. He tries picking it up, and it rises from the ground in anger, turning out to be a huge starfish gem monster. Matthew looks at his gem saying that he can totally summon his weapon this time, but it does nothing. He looks at the gem asking if it will ever be useful, and he runs from the monster yelling for help. Amber hears him, but the others don't, and Amber finally snaps. She yells at them, saying that their antics are distracting them from the fact that Matthew is in danger, and she calls them both out for their actions. She tells them to pull themselfs together, and she walks outside by herself to fight the monster. She uses her sticky orbs to grab the monster, and realizes she can't attack it while holding it. She lets go, and is slapped aside by the monster, who spins toward Amber at high speeds. Amber braces herself, but the monster is whacked aside by Melanite's mace. Moonstone's cresent moon boomerang hits the monster on the front, but doesn't leave a dent. Amber thanks them, and Matthew says that it's belly is the weak point, and that they should aim for that. The others agree, and Amber grabs it by the front, holding it's belly and mouth open for attack. Moonstone throws her boomerang at the belly, hurting the monster and bounching it back. Melanite jumps in the air, and smacks the boomerang at full force at the monster. It's mouth splits, and they see it's gemmore clearly. Melanite and Moonstone ask if Matthew is ready to get the gem, he says yes, and they throw him toward the monster. He grabs the gem, and the monster struggles forward. Amber continues to try and hold on, but the sap was loostening. The orbs almost fall apart, but Melanite and Moonstone hit the monster farther back, and help keep it still. Eventually, Matthew pulls out the gem, and the monster poofs. Amber takes the gem from Matthew, bubbles it, and congradulates him. Melanite and Moonstone apologize to Amber, and she says it's ok as long as they don't try and kill eachother again. The cringe, look at eachother, lightly laugh, say sure, and the episode ends.

Sorry it wasn't a fantastic episode, but I figured I needed to give the main team a bit more focus considering I havn't used them much. But hey, the next episode might be about fusion... so yeah...
