And still, people's mind is shrouded by God only knows what. A gem, including the Crystal Gems, can't live or stand on their feet without having a gemstone, or any possible relationship with one, in their body for it to be a gem. Lion is not Rose because HE HAS NOT ROSE'S GEM. Go and watch "Lion 3: Straight to Video" and you'll see how his stomach is shown and he has not Rose's gem. Who has Rose's Gem? Steven Quartz Universe. Have you seen his stomach? YES, he has a pink gemstone in HIS stomach which activates each time it wants and summons her mother's shield and other magical stuff. Have you payed attention to what just Pearl said in "Rose's Scabbard"? NO, because she asked Steven if he, because he has his MOTHER'S GEM, could somehow remember that place up in that floating piece of earth where she was sitting on. Adding to that, Rose is not Steven neither. The fact of him having that his mother's gem in his body doesn't transform him in Rose. They have different personalities and besides,  the ep of today explained so many things and people still ask the same thing over and over. I think the show specifically gives you anything you need to make a good theory  or to wonder about something logical because it's self-evident. But well.
