Actually Topaz appears in Jailbreak in a deleted scene. Since Steven Universe is animated at SungMin and RoughDraft, which are both animation studios in Korea, some story boarded scenes are lost during transit to and from Korea. One scene depicts Topaz in a cell near Lapis. Also Topaz is drawn differently than the other Crystal Gems because during the beginning of Season 2A, to significantly cut costs, SungMin and RoughDraft began using flash animation to animate certain characters and scenes.
