"The.. Crystal Gems?"

Peridot has no idea who the Crystal Gems are. Doesn't it seem strange to you that she would be a member of Homeworld's army? The answer is: She's not. Peridot is simply a gem tech-obsessed nerdy girl. Lapis said that Gems would be coming with lots of backup. Based on everything we know and this piece of dialogue, I'm theorizing this is how it is:

Yellow Diamond is the chief of the army on Homeworld, and Jasper is his man in command. Lapis Lazuli is friends with Peridot, a relatively new gem created in a Kindergarten on Homeworld. Lapis Lazuli went back to Earth to check it out for her friend Peridot, when she was captured by the Crystal Gems. Then, Peridot became obsessed with saving her friend Lapis, and is now doing as much as she can to return to Earth: trying to fix the warp pads, restabilizing the old gem tech, and eventually, after learning who's destroying the way she's going to get back to her best friend Lapis, Lapis arrives at Homeworld. She tells Peridot about the Crystal Gems, and Peridot now wants revenge for what they did to Lapis and breaking all of her machines. When they tell Jasper, the head chief of their region and Yellow Diamond's man in command, he knows who the Crystal Gems are and figures this is their chance. But because Lapis was friends with Steven and had been... let's use the word infiltrated by the Crystal Gems, Jasper treated her unfairly and when Peridot finally escaped, Jasper took out all of her anger on Lapis before she dragged them into the ocean as Malachite.

What do you guys think? Don't forget about Matt Burnett's tweet on not judging Peridot too quickly.
