Excluding Steven as he’s pretty much everyone’s friend, it’s a gem miracle Sadie is Lars’ friend at all. I think Ronaldo could potentially help make Lars into a better person since Sadie’s not having much progress with that on her own. Bringing back Steven, at this rate, I honestly believe Steven will ‘heal' a “corrupted gem” before he heals Lars' stagnant state of mind.

 This episode made it look like Sadie and Ronaldo could be friends and Ronaldo deserves a friend like Sadie and vice versa. That would actually be pretty funny if there was an episode that had Sadie and Ronaldo hanging out a lot and Lars would get jealous, do something stupidly offensive, and Sadie actually gives him a reality check (for once) in their friendship that leaves Lars sort of ‘friendless’ for a while and this becomes a sort of “role reversal” between Lars and  Ronaldo  in “Friended to Friendless” (again, excluding Steven), r espectively. And hopefully by the end of this ‘life lesson’ Lars actually becomes a decent character that can still be a little bit of a jerk at times. I'm totally on board with everything you said, Bloo. And who knows, there's been 104 episodes of Steven Universe confirmed and I'm sure we'll have a handful of them dealing with Lars and his character development with Ronaldo/Sadie/Steven etc. I'd certainly enjoy it :) I am, however, getting sick of Lars.  He is rude,  insulting,  unmanly, powered by what others think of him, and gets VERY little devolpment.  By unmanly, I mean that he never HELPS with much, ever.  There is a small little ball of hope for him, but the rest is just hatred whenever I see his peirced ears and hear his rude voice.
