Reunited

"This is our home! Our planet! Our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems!"

"Reunited" is the 23rd and 24th episode of the fifth season of Steven Universe, the 151st and 152nd episode overall, and the final episode in the seventh StevenBomb. It is a 22-minute special episode, excluding advertisements.

Synopsis
Steven brings everyone together for a special reunion.

Plot
The episode starts off with Steven singing "For Just One Day Let's Only Think About (Love)". He goes around helping everyone get ready for the wedding. Ruby and Sapphire say their vows, with Sapphire explaining how Ruby saved her from her destiny and opened up new possibilities.

During the reception, Steven begins crying, at first believing it to be due to his emotions and later realizing it is the presence of Blue Diamond. The Diamonds come in their ships and attack the Cluster, aiming to open its bubble. Despite Steven's attempts, the Cluster is unbubbled and takes the form of a giant arm. However, it remains in control of itself and fights Yellow Diamond's ship.

Meanwhile, Blue arrives and is unconvinced by Steven's attempts at talking to her. She attacks and subdues everyone but Connie and Lion with her grief. Connie attacks Blue Diamond but fails and Connie's sword is shattered, Garnet gets past the sadness and is able to distract Blue long enough for Lapis to launch the barn at Blue. The fight continues with the Crystal Gems momentarily victorious as Blue is crushed under her ship and Yellow is defeated by the Cluster. Unfortunately, the Diamonds regroup. Peridot taunts Yellow asking if the Diamond remembers her. Yellow scornfully denies it and poofs Peridot. As Steven tries to explain to the Diamonds, Yellow smashes him into the ground where he is disembodied.

Steven realizes that outside his body he can interact with people's thoughts and watches as Lapis is also poofed. He manages to get to the Diamonds, who find and attack him, but he is able to create an aura which convinces the Diamonds of Pink Diamond's fake shattering.

Steven reawakens with the Crystal Gems and the Diamonds standing over him with surprise, as Blue expresses in tears, "It's you. Pink."

Cultural References

 * While preparing for the wedding, Sapphire and Ruby cover their eyes around each other. This is a common superstition that bad luck will come if the bride is seen by her fiancée before their wedding.
 * When Sapphire shatters the ice forming around her feet from anxiety, it bears some resemblance to the Breaking of the Glass tradition in Jewish weddings.
 * The flower decorations shown throughout the wedding appear to be the same type as the Flower Monster in Back to the Kindergarten, which appears to be based on the Silent Princess flower in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
 * Ronaldo pulls out his katana and attempts to fight the Cluster's hand in a similar fashion to the characters in the anime, Attack on Titan.

Continuity

 * This episode takes place 8 months after "Steven's Birthday".
 * Ruby and Sapphire are married, as Ruby had proposed to Sapphire for in "The Question".
 * Blue Diamond shatters Rose's Sword.
 * When Steven is shaving, he uses the razor Garnet gave him in "Three Gems and a Baby".
 * The strand of facial hair he shaves off is the same one he started growing at the end of "Steven's Birthday".
 * Blue and Yellow Diamond now know Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond were the same person.
 * Blue Diamond does, in fact, remember Ruby and Sapphire from the events of "The Answer".
 * Likewise, Yellow Diamond seems to not remember Peridot, which alludes to one of her lines in "Message Received": "Which Peridot?".
 * In her thoughts, Pearl mentions to 'do it for him/her' referencing the song "Do It for Her".
 * When rousing her, Steven tells her to think of herself as well, as she previously used self-sacrifice in battle for Rose.
 * The Cluster's appearance of many hands reaching towards the sky while forming was foreshadowed in "The Zoo", when the Zoomans reached to the sky after Greg rejected their choosing him.
 * The enhancements given to the Crystal Gems' weapons in "Bismuth" return.

Errors

 * While Ruby and Sapphire are fusing, their respective gemstones are shown on the opposite hands.
 * After Ruby and Sapphire reunited, Garnet is seen wearing a wedding gown with puffed sleeves and a black bow tie with a pair of pants, but the next screenshot of Garnet in a distant, she is seen wearing a full wedding gown's bottom without pants to be seen.
 * When the Crystal Gems are squaring off against Blue Diamond just after Lapis drops the barn on her, Pearl's spear is summoned as a regular spear, then it suddenly turns into a trident in the next shot where we can see it, with no throwing having been done between the two shots.
 * When Blue Diamond sends out her radiated Pathokinesis a 2nd time Connie appears to be in tears despite being immune.
