I have a theory about the tweet that matt burnett said about the crystal gems dying. I think it might be true. But they will regenerate. I think what may happen is in The Return the crystal gems get killed in a battle against this new foe and it ends up taking their gemstones. In Jail Break Steven teams up with a new ally to rescue the gems, together they manage to defeat this foe, get the gems back and the Crystal Gems end up regenerating. Pearl got killed in steven the swordfighter and she regenerated. And I think I saw somewhere on this wiki that someone said there was a tweet that Garnet and pearl will fuse in season 2, I don't think any gem is going to get killed off permanently.

But I wonder who is this foe? I remember in serious steven there was a drawing on the wall where a figure that looked like rose was opposing a spiky haired gem on the right with a diamond shape on its body. I wonder if the reason why the episode is called the Return is because that mysterious figure is the leader of the homeworld gems and it came to Earth before, but because of Rose, the crystal gems managed to defeat it. However now Rose is gone, when that mysterious figure returns to Earth, it is just too powerful for the Crystal Gems and easily defeats them. But thats just my theory.

But I wonder who this new ally of Steven is going to be? I would love it if it turns out to be the centipeetle mother which has regenerated and is now uncorrupted and in its humanoid form, but it could also be Peridot who may decide to help Steven after seeing his friends get destroyed and feels guilty about what happened. I think whatever happens, next week is going to get really intense and I can't wait to see what happens.
