[Open ext. It's A Wash! ]

(Pearl is observing Greg's broken van and Amethyst and Garnet  are leaning against the wall)

Pearl: Wow, those water constructs really did a number on Greg's van. Hmm...

Amethyst: Ah, give it a rest Pearl, that thing will be busted forever.

Pearl: I completely disagree. It's just a simple human machine. I'm sure that I can figure this whole thing out, before you know it!

(Steven walks in, and Greg scoots over on movable chair on wheels)

Steven: "Hey guys!"

Greg: Zoop! *Greg looks through toolbox*  I got something that will patch this van up real good!

Pearl: *gasp!* Is it some kind of complex human tool?

Greg: Yup, high quality duck tape! Some well placed duck tape can patch anything up in a pinch, see? *Greg points to his broken leg*

Pearl: I'm sure that I can fix this without your tape.

Greg: Well, gee, at least let me give you a hand. ''*Greg tries to stand up to help Pearl, with assistance from a hockey stick. He falls down, due to his weak leg. Steven runs over to him in his need of aid.*''

Steven: I'm sorry that you hurt your leg and that your van got smashed up because of me.

Greg: You apologize too much. Maybe I shouldn't of tagged along in that crazy adventure. But at least I got to spend some time with my fav guy!

Steven: What if you stayed with us until you got better?

Greg: Hey, that's a great idea! But, won't I get in the way of your training?

Pearl: Yes!

Amethyst: Wait, Steven. Don't you have healing powers now?

Pearl: Oh, right, yes! You fix Greg, and I'll fix the van, nobody has to live with us.

Steven: *gasp* Yeah! Mm-hmm! Here goes something new and exciting. *Steven licks his hand to activate his healing powers* And...go! *Steven moves his hand toward Greg's leg* Okay, you should be better now.

Greg: Okay, if you say so. *Greg tries to stand up, but is unable to and falls back on his chair.*

Steven: Why didn't it work?

Greg: Hey, sorry buddy. Maybe you just need a little more practice.

Steven: But...I was doing so well before!

Pearl: Steven, don't worry about it. Your powers are a bit fickle after all.

Garnet: Just give it a bit more time.

Greg: Cheer up Steven! At least now we get to spend some more time together, right?

Steven: Yeah, right.

Pearl: Garnet, can you give me a hand? *Garnet lifts Greg's van up, as component of the car falls down*

(Steven and Greg start to sing "Dear Old Dad ". Some scenes that the song is sung in, is Steven and Greg throwing confetti in the air, both of them in the Beach House kitchen with Steven cooking and Greg sitting on his chair, Steven and Greg watching an episode of an unknown TV show on Steven's smartphone eating popcorn and drinking soda, and Steven helping Greg wash off after Greg gets soda all over his head.)

''[Trans. Int. Steven, Greg, and Amethyst making paper airplanes in the Beach house]''

Amethyst: Bombs away! ''*Amethyst throws paper airplane in the air, and hits Greg in the head. The 3 start to laugh*''

(Pearl walks in, covered in oil from trying to repair Greg's van. She starts to clean herself up, as she drops the toolbox. Garnet appears.)

Garnet: You're back. The Geode is cracked, we must leave immediately.

Pearl: What?

Amethyst: Oh no!

(Pearl and Amethyst start to run toward the Warp pad.)

Garnet: You too. *Directing toward Steven*

Steven: Yeah!

Greg: Aw, really?

Steven: Oh, oh yeah.

Greg: It's okay Steven, I'll be fine. You go on your mission.

Steven: Are you sure?

Greg: Of course.

Steven: Thanks Dad! We'll be back before you know it!

Greg: Don't worry about your old man. My leg's not getting any more broken. If I need something, I'll just...crawl. *Greg is starting to look teary.* My arm's are still not...broken.

Amethyst: Oh, brother. *Amethyst, Garnet, Pearl, and Steven begin to walk off the Warp pad*

Pearl: Now Greg, there's no need to be so pathetic. If anything happens to you, you can call us with this. *Pearl pulls out Warp Whistle and hands it to Greg.*

Greg: What is it?

Garnet: It's a Warp Whistle.

Greg: Warp Whistle...

Garnet: If you blow in it, the Warp pad will activate and will lure us that we need to return.

Steven: See Dad? You'll be fine.

Greg: Right, I'll be fine. Good luck on your mission son.

''[Trans. Int. Geode, with Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven on the Warp pad.]''

Amethyst: Man, this place is junked up.

Steven: Wow. Is there an explosion or something?

Garnet: Almost.

Pearl: What you're looking at, is a synthetic storm that was caused and contained in...(Greg uses the Warp Whistle, telling the Gems to come back to the Beach house, also interrupting Pearl)

Amethyst: Is that the Warp Whistle?

Steven: Ah! Dad needs me, I'll be right back! *Steven warps back to the Beach house.* Dad..I'm here...is everything...

Greg: Oh hey, Steven! Just making sure that this thing actually works. Heh.

Steven: Okay, we'll be back later! *Steven warps back to the Geode* Sorry for the holdup!

Pearl: Is everything okay?

Amethyst: Hey, did Greg fall and break his butt? Ha ha!

Garnet: That's not funny.

Amethyst: I know.

Pearl: Like I was saying, this is a synthetic (Greg uses the Warp Whistle for the second time, interrupting Pearl again) 

Steven: I'm sure it's very important. *Steven warps back to the Beach house* Dad?

Greg: I'm really sorry, but where's the remote? That's actually, a very important question.

''[Trans. Int. the Geode, as of Steven helped Greg and warped back]''

Steven: It was very important.

Pearl: Okay, so if the Geode breaks then the storm will be unleashed and our bodies will be vaporized.

Steven: Then...we'd be dead.

Garnet: That's where you come in. *Garnet is directing toward Steven*

Steven: Say what?

Garnet: You should try and seal that crack with your healing powers.

Steven: But...what if I can't do it?

Garnet: It won't hurt to try.

Steven: Okay. (Steven walks toward the Geode, activates his healing powers toward the Geode, and nothing happens.) Mmmmm! It's not working! Ugh *Steven takes his hand away from the cracked Geode.* I knew this would happen. Just when I thought I was getting better.

Garnet: Don't beat yourself up Steven.

Amethyst: Yeah, don't worry about it!

Pearl: We'll find another way!

Steven: Eh.You don't understand. How am I supposed to call myself a Crystal Gem, if I can't even (Greg activates the Warp Whistle for the third time, instead interrupting Steven. All 4 Crystal Gems decide to warp back to the Beach house, rather than just Steven) Dad! Daaad! Are you okay? *Steven runs up to Greg, who is upstairs, watching a TV show on Steven's TV.*  Answer me!

Greg: Steven! You just missed...the funniest commercial.

Steven: What?

Greg: Haha, it was that one for the dog treats where the dog's dressed up like a doctor. If I ever get heartworms, I would eat those dog treats.

Steven: Dad, you're only supposed to use the Warp Whistle for emergencies. Like if you fell down and broke your butt!

Greg: Yeah, sorry about that.

Steven: *sigh* It's okay.

Greg: Since you're here, mind grabbing me a snack from the Big Donut?

Steven: Yeah, sure thing. *Steven walks down stairs, and sees the Crystal Gems.* I'll be right back guys.

Garnet, walking away: We'll be in the temple.

Pearl: We have to come up with another plan, quick.

Amethyst: Yo dude, no worries about earlier. You'll get a hold of your powers before you know it!

Steven: Thanks Amethyst!

Amethyst: Get me a croissant. *Amethyst walks into the temple, as Steven walks outside to grab Greg a snack.*

Steven: Ah, I forgot to ask what kind of donuts. Ugh... *Steven walks back inside.* Hey Dad, I (Steven is alarmed to be seeing Greg at the fridge, dancing on his broken leg, carrying out food.)

Greg: *Greg is interrupted by his song that he's singing by Steven.* Steven! *Greg drops all of his food that he's carrying onto the ground.* Ha, you had me scared there son. Didn't see you...standing in the doorway. Your old man's still got it! *Steven is staring at him angrily.* What, this? I guess I couldn't wait for those donuts. *Greg notices that Steven is referring to his broken foot (possibly now not broken, that he was lying), and rolls on floor pretending like he just hurt his foot again.* Ugh...ouch...ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Steven: Just stop Dad. I get what's going on. Your leg isn't broken at all, is it?

Greg: It was broken, but you healed it back at the car wash.

Steven: You lied to me! Now I can't do it anymore!

Greg: What?

Steven: The Gems needed me to fix the broken rock, but my healing powers aren't working. It's because of you, you messed with my head!

Greg: No! I didn't mean to...I just wanted to live with my son again!

Steven: You really thought I was getting better, I finally felt like a Crystal Gem. Now, what if I can't do anything?

Greg: Steven, don't beat yourself up! This is my fault!

Steven: Yeah! Yeah it is! *Steven runs outside.* Ugh, what am I going to do? My powers, they're..(Steven's conversation with himself is interrupted when he sees his ukulele and Greg's guitar, reminding him of the song they sang together. He walks back inside.) I'm sorry, I..Dad!(Steven sees Greg on the Warp pad, with the Warp Whistle, and with his toolbox.)

Greg: It's time for me to fix the trouble I've caused. (Greg blows into the Warp Whistle, activating the Warp pad, as Steven jumps into the Warp pad as well just in time to be taken to the Geode, where Greg is.)

Steven: Dad, be careful!

Greg: Don't worry,Steven! you're old man's gonna, woah! '*[Greg trips and falls because of the extreme winds.*

Steven: Daad! Are you okay?

Greg: Steven,get out of here! I'm responsible for this!

Steven: No, you're not.

Greg: But, I messed up your powers! I did everything I'm not supposed to do, and now you can't heal!

Steven: I healed you, right?

Greg: Hey, get in there and patch that thing up, like how you patched up your old man! *Steven runs toward the Geode.*

Steven: Double...healing...powers! (Steven licks his hands to activate his healing powers, and touches the rock to try to activate them. Nothing happens.) It's still not working!

Greg: Ah, forget it! I've got another idea! (Greg duck tapes the Geode crack, and the storm ends.)  There, see, as good as new!

''[Trans. Int. It's A Wash All 4 Crystal Gems and Greg are there, with Pearl reading a checklist of all the things she did to the van (the van is now repaired), Greg looking over in awe the fixed van, and Garnet, Amethyst, and Steven are standing, watching.]''

Greg: No way.

Pearl: So, I've realigned the axles...

Greg: I can't believe it!

Pearl: ...Replaced the spark plugs...

Greg: It's never looked this good!

Pearl: ...Sealed the leaks in the intake manifold gaskets, and recalibrated the timing belt. As long as you ease up on second gear, your transmission should be fine.

Greg: Pearl! I can't thank you enough! Haha *Greg hugs Pearl, with Pearl disgusted, and when Greg drops Pearl she crawls back and hides behind Garnet.* So, now that I'm feeling better, it's about time that I move back home. Can't have me messing up more magic stuff. *Steven walks over and hugs him.* Just in case you have trouble again...*Greg hands over the duck tape to Steven.*

''[Trans. Int. Beach house, of Steven about to go to sleep, with duck tape on the desk next to him.]''

Steven: Good night Dad!

Greg: Goodnight Steven!

''[Trans. Int. outside of Beach house, with Greg's van (aka. Greg's home) now located closer to Steven's home.]''

The episode ends with the star outro, instead replaced with an outro of 2 hearts, one covering the Beach house (aka. Steven), and the other covering Greg's van (aka. Greg).
