THEORY

[This whole thing is spoilers so don't read it if you haven't watched the whole Hunted thing]

So what if since we learned that what happened with Lars is that since he is dead he does the same thing as Lion where Steven can go through his hair, we can safely assume that Lion died, also because they kinda hinted at that at the end of Lars' head. So maybe what happened with Lion is since she didn't let Pearl know about it, and since Pearl didn't like Lion and vise versa, what if Pearl killed Lion? We can see that in We Need to Talk that Pearl doesn't like competition, and in Rose's Scabbard that in the beginning, she doesn't like Lion, and Lion doesn't like her. In the same episode she also says, "But... Rose didn't have a Lion." So she obviously didn't know it was Rose's. So maybe she was uncomfortable with the Lion so she took him to the desert where they find him in Steven's Lion, killed him, then Rose went looking for him, found him, cried, and revived him. Then she didn't tell Pearl about it, and kept it there. That might seem kinda far fetched but I think it kinda makes sense. Just a theory, though.
