I think Steven is the reason Lapis Lazuli was able to regain her original form in the first place. That is to say, if anyone else had yanked her gem out the back of that mirror, she would have reformed as a monster like the others. But Steven's presence, in the same way it tamed the Centpeetle, gradually woke Lapis as he spent the day with her gem in the mirror. That would explain GAP's confusion over the fact that the mirror was able to communicate, as the situation of a corrupted gem regaining her original identity would be unprecedented.
