Well Garnet is basically the leader of the gems, Amethyst and Pearl just didn't want to get in trouble. Plus I think that this episode sort of reveals that Garnet is the parental figure to the gems, Pearl and Amethyst were like the children afraid of getting in trouble. When you think of it Garnet not wanting them in the Burning Room could be for their own safety, one because there's a pit of lava in the middle of the room which she is the only gem immune to the intense heat, and two there are probably a hundred or so corrupted gems in there that can easily be freed if for say Amethyst came running in and playing around.
