Warp Tour

"Warp Tour" is the 36th episode of the first season of Steven Universe, and the 36th overall episode of the series. It aired alongside a rerun of "Space Race".

Synopsis
Steven thinks he sees something creepy traversing the warp streams and the Gems try to ease his paranoia.

Plot
The Gems go home after a mission, Pearl and Amethyst even praising each other's contributions, and finding out Steven is allergic to pollen. While warping back, Pearl tells Steven to cover his nose with his arm, but his sneeze propells him to the edge of the warp stream and his head pops out of the stream, seeing the space. Steven sees something warping through one of them. Garnet pulls Steven back and tells him not to stick his head outside as there is not much air and it's cold. Steven tells Pearl there was something there, and she doesn't believe him, Garnet then tells him there was nothing else out there for a long, long time.

At night, Steven can't sleep from being paranoid about the warp pad. Amethyst was having a midnight snack. Then he tells her he can't sleep, Amethyst questions about something jumping out from a Warp Pad while asleep. Steven denies this, then Amethyst tells him not to let a "warp monster bite" and leaves joyfully. Steven decides to watch over the warp pad for any dangers lurk by holding a water gun.

In the morning, Pearl surprise wakes up Steven which startles him into spraying her with a water gun. Garnet states that he can't get any cookies as a surprise, Amethyst then eat them all. Steven was tired and apologizes for this because of his lack of sleep. Pearl questions about the thing in a warp stream, Steven then snaps at her that it was real. Pearl says, "Nothing on earth can use the warps but us." Garnet suggests that to cure his sanity, they'll have to check on it. Steven agrees.

They check back at the grass fields, the place the Gems were leaving from at the beginning of the episode Steven sneezes and Garnet says bless you. Then at the Geode, Pearl says there is nothing here either, and comments on the Geode's condition before they leave. They check the Sky Spire, and it is revealed that Steven Jr. is a father and had kids. Pearl says that they looked all over and there's nothing to find. Steven states that she's wrong, which angers Pearl and he says to her that it must have came from space.

Finally back at the Galaxy Warp, as Pearl judges Steven that all warp pads are broken because its inactive, showing Steven the marked sad cartoon Steven put on. Steven agrees with the gems that they are safe. While they talk about what's important for Steven to be safe, Steven snaps back at them for telling him how he feels and knows something was inside the stream, which leads to Pearl and Steven arguing. Amethyst stated that it was a new thing and she liked it. Pearl tells Steven that he doesn't know what he's talking about, to which Steven yells back that she doesn't know what he is talking about. This aggravates Pearl, and Garnet tells Steven to let it go.

That night, Steven is sitting in the house staring at the warp pad while eating dry macaroni (as Amethyst had eaten the cheese packets the previous night). Amethyst comes out of her room and tries to cheer Steven up, but seeing he is still in a bitter mood, she gives up and leaves the house. Just as Steven is about to give his watch and admit that he was wrong, a small metallic ball crashes through the roof. Legs expand from the ball, revealing it to be some sort of robot. The robot goes for the warp pad, but Steven blocks it, and the robot tackles him and shoots a liquid at him which he avoids. Steven grabs one of its legs and throws it into the side of the warp pad, damaging both the robot and the warp pad, for which he apologizes. The robot shoots some goo on to the warp pad fixing the crack before activating the pad. Steven then jumps into the stream after it.

As Steven struggles with the robot, others just like it appear in the stream and begin to crowd Steven pushing him towards the edge of the stream. Steven tries to break free, but accidentally tumbles out of the warp stream and begins slowly floating away, still holding one of the robots. Steven takes comfort in the fact that he was right all along, but that quickly turns to despair as he realizes he is going to die cold and alone. Suddenly, a warp stream opens right behind him and Garnet sticks her arms out and pulls Steven in to safety. She comforts him, telling him to take deep breaths, Pearl and Amethyst are also there and are relieved to see Steven is all right. Garnet notices the robot Steven still has with him and says that must have been what he saw in the stream. Steven says he doesn't care about that anymore, but Garnet says that she does. She apologizes to Steven, telling him that he is Crystal Gem too and they should have listened to him before.

They arrive at the Galaxy Warp and the robot joins the rest of it's troop over at the Gem Home World Warp. Pearl questions what they are doing to the warp as they spray it with their liquid. Soon all the cracks in the warp are gone, and it begins to activate. Garnet grabs her team mates and quickly takes them to a hiding spot. A green Gem appears on the warp pad, and begins talking to an audio recording log. She reveals herself to be Peridot. She says the warp pad repair was successful and is about to continue on when she is distracted by the damaged repair bot. She then crushes it under her foot, much to the shock of Steven, who has been watching. When Peridot steps off of the warp pad she notices the crying breakfast friends sticker and fears the area may have been compromised. She places a device on the warp pad and warps away, the device then destroys the remaining repair bots. Pearl and Amethyst are worried about what just happened, seeming afraid of being found by Peridot or who sent her, as Steven asks questions like who Peridot was or what she wanted. Garnet says it doesn't matter as she summons her gauntlets, because she's not coming back. Garnet then smashes the Homeworld Warp.
