In regards to Lapis' new look, I also initially didn't like it and prefered the skirt, but now that I've gotten used to it I like it a lot more. I also think it's symbolic that she got rid of the skirt since high ranking gems would wear skirts and dresses.

I have a feeling we won't see Lapis fuse by the end of the series, but I really want her to see that fusion doesn't have to be a prison, which is still her mindset right now. I don't want to see her fuse with Jasper again, but I'd love to see her realize fusion can be great with a partner that she can trust, like Peridot, Steven, or maybe even Bismuth.

I think Lapis learned these methods just from her time on earth. I also think it has to do with just how different she is. What I mean is, there really isn't any reason the two new Lapis' wouldn't know how to make a water hand, but the first thing our Lapis made after being released from the mirror was a water hand. So I think part of her creativity in water bending comes from her time on earth, and some of it comes from her personality and creativity.
