I saw the clip when Amethyst shape shifts into Rose. A gem shape shifts into ''Rose. I had to see it. For one thing, pretty good façade, Amethyst, but your “Rose” has a little more to be desired, sensitivity and maturity for one thing, dignity'', second. Forget what Rose would do, what would she think? Moving on…



WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!



The two quotes I can’t help but keep going back to are:



“Well, what about me, huh? I had someone who was always there for me until she started hanging out with you!”



The first quote makes it seem like Amethyst was really close to Rose and why wouldn’t she be since Rose was most likely the one to really accept Amethyst into their group and as a friend?





But then this quote confuses the heck out of me, as it kind of muddles this hypothesis:



“I bet you’d stay for her.”



I heard people suggesting before this episode was seen that Amethyst and Greg must have been a “thing” before Rose and Greg. But that just wouldn’t make much sense to me because again going with my hypothesis, “Rose was most likely the one to really accept Amethyst into their group and as a friend.” Not to mention, Rose and Amethyst have history.





I AM SO CONFUSED!



I can’t wait ‘till I see the episode for myself, but from what I’ve seen so far (and this is probably the most intense scene and plot-heavy part in the episode), I don’t hate Amethyst too much for what she did because one, Amethyst was really just having one of her dumb ideas again (In fact, “shaping shifting into a dead- sort of dead, loved one” is probably her dumbest idea.) and second, I actually think Amethyst feels really alone. Garnet made a joke with Pearl laughing at it that although I believe unintentionally, it   brought up emotions of Amethyst feeling like an ‘outsider’ with those feelings “splodin’” in “On the Run.” Amethyst may have gotten over being grown in a Kindergarten, but her loneliness probably hasn’t been completely resolved, yet. It's a good thing she's at least trying to make up with Greg who had the right to be upset. I'm sure he didn't mean to cause that much emotional turmoil to Amethyst in the first place.





I was actually getting a “Full Metal Alchemist” nostalgia moment that made me think of a similar scene involving “Envy.” Even the character, “Envy,” if I remember correctly, had some emotional issues of their own (Funny, I think that character might also be ‘genderless.’).

One last thought, does anyone find it hilarious and disturbing in a way that in one episode we could love a character (“Future Vision” & “On the Run”) then in another episode (that even brings us back to certain past episodes), we question that love and become possibly hateful towards that same character (“Steven’s Lion,” “On the Run,” and “Maximum Capacity”)? It’s like a constant “back and forth,” it’s emotionally exhausting!
