Hi, just joined. Hope you don't mind my chiming in. :-)

Steven's defense attorney states during her final argument that Rose Quartz had been recognized as a rebel for years (centuries?) at the time of Rose Quartz's shattering.It seems strange that White Diamond had any authority over her, unless she is somehow above the regular diamond order and acts against them?

In any case, it still leaves open how Rose was able to get close to Pink. It's clear to me that the single-minded obsession with the Crystal Gems and their reputation as Diamond shatterers has prevented Gem world from actually investigating what truly happened.

I think Yellow had Pink assassinated for reasons unknown, and framed Rose for it becase as a rebel, she was the perfect scapegoat. Best place to carry out an assassination is during a civl war! This would explain Yellow's insistence that Steven be executed at once, before any more questions get asked.

 I speculate Yellow sent emmisaries to Pink and asked to meet   her  alone   on some pretext. It seems that the Diamonds at that point, being collegial, would not suspect each other. This is why no-one sounded the alarm - Pink had none of her regular guards or her retinue. Did she have anyone with her? I forget...

 Why did she do it though?? That's the question. What does Yellow gain with Pink's death?
