I still don't see it like that. I see it in an "older brother"/idol type way, in which she adored Rose as if she was her best friend. And she felt really betrayed that Rose left her, and that Rose didn't tell Pearl all of her secrets. How would you feel if your best friend lied to you or didn't trust you as much as you thought he/she did, and then left you?

And I don't think Pearl hates Greg. All of the Gems belittle him or ignore him, not because they hate him, but because they think he's "sort of a mess", in their words. They don't want him to be involved in their lives because he would get in the way of the things they do, so they try to keep their distance when possible. And Greg mostly knows this, although up until "The Message", he might have had some thoughts that the Gems didn't like him.

And man, I almost wanted to hate Rose's Scabbard because it was so dark...almost. It was a great episode though, but it really bummed me out when she nearly let Steven die.

The way I see it, that situation was a Win/Win for her. If Steven catches himself and gets himself up, he survives and everything is alright. But, if he dies, Rose gets to come back. It's bittersweet.

After that episode, I'm still unsure how I feel about Pearl. You truly get to know a person when they are under pressure and emotional, and we got to see the real Pearl in that episode, and it wasn't how we expected to see her.
