Amethyst is much more like a child, while in other episodes she's more like a teenager.

Pearl's biggest thing is being jealous in this episode, while in no other episode I've seen her jealous nature. And the other way around, there's nothing about the Pearl we know from the other episodes that is shown in this episode either, except for her feelings for Rose.

Garnet acted slightly differently, but not much, so she's not really out of character. Although the episode really didn't focus on her so that might be the reason. Hmmm, maybe it has to do with the fact that they're all in the past at this point and they take on younger forms to reflect their current emotional state. That couldn't be it though. To expand more on that, I think that the "death" of Rose and the arrival of Steven also served to be a wake-up call to them. They seemed to rely a lot more on Rose when she was still around, and the only reason that they're the way they are today is because they learned responsibility from raising Steven, among other things.
