This episode just further cemented the fact that the gems hiding things from Steven is all just because they want to protect him. If I'm right, Rebecca Sugar said that there are certain things that you don't tell someone Steven's age, possibly because it's impossible to know how it'll effect them, which is basically what parenthood is like. This might not be a good way to prepare them for the future, but the truth could scar them for life (which is especially bad in Steven's case, seeing that his powers may be tied to his emotions.)

Since this is a coming of age story, Steven will inevitably have to face the truth. And because the gems are like Steven's parents, does anyone else think that the series will probably end with Steven leaving the Earth to complete his gem training on another planet?
