Obivously if Pearl found out about this, she'd rage. Again, it's nice that he wants to give it to her, but this sword belonged to his mom. Why not keep it? But that's just me. I just think he need a sword. A good one. He can't have just a shield. Again, that's just me.

I'm 110% certain they are building up for an episode where they form Stevonnie to use Rose's Sword+Shield.

That's why Connie "has" to have the sword, I guess.
