It's been a while since the last CEI, and it's time to return with a "finally!" (Also, this is a replacement for a failed episode Homeworldsick.)

______________________________

Synopsis: The gems won't capture Peridot.

Timeline: Before Season 3 Mid-Season

Characters:

-Steven

-Peridot

-Garnet

-Amethyst

-Pearl

-Lapis

-Yellow Diamond (mentioned)

Plot:

Steven and the gems are crowding around the device that they found in Yellow Diamond's ship, and trying to figure out what it does, and how to stop the timer. They exchange a few ideas (the most notable one being to destroy it), until Steven says that Peridot might know how it works. The gems cringe at the idea until Steven explains (with gradual sadness) that she was abandoned by Yellow Diamond and has no reason to be bad, no place to go, and purpose in life. The gems exchange some looks, but Garnet nods her head and Pearl goes to the escape pod to track her location (the Galaxy Warp), and the gems head off. When they get to the Galaxy Warp, Peridot is sadly walking around slowly and kicking pebbles. The gems give a quick speech and get in an attack position, but Peridot just says hi and continues doing what she is doing. Pearl asks if she is going to fight back or escape or something, but Peridot just says they can do whatever they want and that she doesn't care. Pearl says that it is probablly a trap, and that they shouldn't risk it. Peridot just looks at them with circles under her eyes frowning, and walks over to the ruble to lay down, with Steven sadly looking back as they leave. The next day, they decide to give it another go, so they go to the escape pod and find her in the Kindergarten. They find her balled up behind a rock, and the gems give her another speech. She says whatever, and goes back to sulking. Pearl groans, and they leave due to continuing to think it's a trap. Steven yells wait because he thinks he knows what is going on, but they leave anyway. At night, Steven sneaks out and checked to see if Peridot was still at the Kindergarten, and she isn't there. He looks around for a while until he comes across Facet 5. He nervously goes down, and hides, seeing Peridot in front of the broken energy crystal. She is cries, looks at the crystal angrily, and starts trying to pull the crystal out of the wall. It topples over and shatters on top of her, and she stands up and individually crushes the crystals while angrily crying. She calms down a bit, and sings a song about how she has no purpose, and that she just wants to do something with her life. Steven accidentally blows his cover, and Peridot freaks out. Steven calms her down, and says he wants to help by coming up with a plan. The next day, the gems find Peridot at the place with the Geode, and they give their little speech. Peridot does a badly acted speech about how she will remove the sealing device attatched to the geode and destroy the Earth (*badly done evil laugh*) and Steven responds with a poorly acted "oh no." The gems clearly know that they are acting, but Steven and Peridot continue, with Peridot saying the only way to stop her is to capture her, and she puts her hand incredibly slowly toward the duck tape, with Steven trying to convince them to use a electric rope device he collected from the ruble to capture her. Garnet just decides to walk off, and the other gems follow her. Steven stops them from getting to the warp pad, and gives a decently sized speech about how Peridot isn't bad anymore, and that they should just trust her. Garnet looks over at Peridot, who looks at her in a begging way, and she finally decides to keep her with them. However, she says that she will be poofed and bubbled once the problems are through, and she throws the electric whip at Peridot, tying her up. Lapis, who has had an experience with being tied up herself, tries to convince Garnet otherways, but her mistrust of Peridot after the Keeping it Together incident causes her to just keep walking. Amethyst picks up Peridot, who just looks at him sad. Back at the house, Peridot is tied to a support beam by the rope, Steven and Lapis look at her sadly, and the star closes in on the tied up Peridot.
