This episode completely nerfed Aquamarine and Eyeball. When we first saw them they were dangerous threats to be taken very seriously. Aquamarine was cunning, ruthless and powerful enough to take down Alexandrite. She was prepared to kill all the hostages she had taken in order to complete her mission. Eyeball was a grizzled veteran of the civil war who had witnessed the shattering of Pink Diamond. She was prepared to carve Steven's gem out of his body and present it to her Diamond. She even testified against Steven at his trial.

This episode portrayed them as morons and Alexandrite literally swatted them like a fly. They went from existential threats to a comedy duo. Not to mention how their gemstones seem to merge when they fused. We've never seen that in any other fusion. But then Pink Diamond gave us gems changing the orientation of their gemstones when they shapeshift.

Fun but not a promising follow up to an episode as powerful as "Volleyball".
