Well according to the Netherlands airing schedules, the episode order for the beginning of season 3 is has follows.

Super Watermelon Island

Gem Drill

Same Old World

Barnmates

Hit The Diamond

Steven Floats

If that is true, my prediction is SWI and GD take place at the exact time. The beginning of SWI is Lapis contacts Steven via his dreams or telepathicly, and they tell each other what recently happened, so SWI and GD are flashbacks thus retaining Steven's prospective they insist on doing. You  see how much easier it woudl be if they didn't have that but I digrise.

SOW is going to be Lapis finding Steven in person and joining him for now. BM is Steven and Peridot learning to get along.

Though it would be cool if Steven, Peridot, and Lapis are able to defeat the Cluster all by themselves, and that would elevate Steven has a leader if he is able to pull that off, which could lead to the veteren Crystal Gems trusting Steven more and letting him lead more in the future.
