Story for Steven

"Story for Steven" is the 5th episode of season two in Steven Universe, and the 54th episode overall.

Synopsis
Greg tells Steven the story of how he met Rose Quartz.

Plot
A flashback occurs where Greg is singing a song at his concert.

The camera then moves over to the audience, with only one person, Rose, watching. She claps and comes over to his table full of his albums, where he goes and offers her a free T-Shirt along with an album. He goes to the van and meets with Morty, who doesn't allow him to give away the shirt.

Greg then turns and sees that Rose has gone. Later, he then goes towards the Gem base, and climbs over the fence, following Amethyst. He then finds his way to what is now the house.

Garnet is about to throw him over the fence, but Rose stops her.

Marty is about to bring Greg to Empire City, when he leaves the van and goes back to spend life with rose.

Trivia

 * The gems had alternate outfits in this episode, Pearl's was one of the forms she took when she regenerated in Steven the Sword Fighter.
 * This is the first episode where Rose physically appears, not in a video tape or anything.
 * There used to be a fence blocking the humans from the Gems, until Greg rammed it with his van.
 * Greg used to have a manager named Marty, but left him on the side of the road after he became too demanding and admitted to caring more about money than Greg's feelings.
 * Its revealed that Rose Quartz didn't wear shoes.
 * Amethyst originally had short hair, until she saw Greg's hair and was inspired.
 * Greg will sing his fourth song in this episode, 'Like a Comet'.
 * His first song was 'Let Me Drive My Van into Your Heart', his second was "Dear Old Dad", and his third was 'Wailing Stone'.
 * The episode's title is raining like in the present of the episode.
 * The fence Pearl mentioned in "Full Disclosure" appeared in this episode.
 * Just before Greg ditches Marty in his van, a large box of red shirts with stars on them just like the ones Steven wears can be seen in the back. It is safe to assume that these were originally intended to be given away at Greg's next concert, but were all given to Steven to wear instead.
 * The Crystal Gems, excluding Rose, were much more critical and cautious around humans in this episode.
 * The gems appear a lot younger, especially Amethyst, which is odd due to the fact that they are thousands of years old.
 * It is also to be noted that Greg's shirt bears a star, which has been the symbol of the Crystal Gems for thousands of years. There may be some further connection between Greg (and possibly Marty) and the crystal gems.
