What interested me was that Yellow did not poof Stevonnie.

There must be some reason, in Yellow's mind, why she didnt' do that. I see 4 possible reasons.

1) She did not want the Gems at the gathering to see one Diamond attacking another.

Or

2) She understands that Steven and Connie are humans and would be harmed or even killed by such an attack.

Or

3) Diamonds are immune to Yellow's lightning attack, so she didn't bother trying.

Or

4)  She understands that Steven and Connie are humans and humans are immune to Yellow's lightning attack, so she didn't bother trying.


 * 1) 4 may sound a bit odd, but my reasoning is that Yellow's lightning attack has only ever been seen to cause Gems to poof, so that would mean that it is essentially the same as the force field on the prison cells or a Gem Destabalizer in its effect. We know, from "Jail Break" that Steven is immune to both of those. I always thought that Steven was immune because he was human, but now it seems possible that his immunity might be because he is a Diamond.

However I still think the immunity is more likely because he is human, because if Diamonds are immune, and Peridot would know that, then Peridot should have instantly realized in Jail Break that Steven is a Diamond when he took the Gem Destabalizer from her.
