Together Alone

"Together Alone" is the 27th episode of the fifth season of Steven Universe, the 155th episode overall, and the third episode in the Diamond Days event.

Synopsis
Steven throws a party to bring his family together.

Plot
After Steven has a dream about Pink Diamond, he goes to Blue and Yellow and asks to plan a ball to bring Homeworld together, and possibly get White Diamond to attend. The Diamonds (Blue and Yellow) then give Steven their Pearls' to start planning out the ball. Steven introduces the Pearls to the concept of "fun" (showing that Blue Pearl likes drawing and Yellow Pearl likes modeling). Blue Diamond then enters the room tells Steven that only he can have Connie, Pearl, and Amethyst (only if she wears the limb enhancers) at the ball, as Garnet will have to unfuse into Ruby and Sapphire. Garnet resists, but eventually, as seen during the ball, complies. The ball commences, and Steven is shown greeting the gems that come up to him, even taking some extra time for Amethyst with her new limb enhancers. Yellow and Blue Diamond show up (as their Pearls introduce them). White Pearl appears and she is shown to be introducing White Diamond, but instead reports that White Diamond is busy with other matters. Steven starts to get bummed out that White didn't attend until Connie asks him to dance. They unknowingly fuse into Stevonnie and only notice when Yellow Diamond points it out. Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond are enraged, but Pearl and Amethyst (who fuse into Opal), Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire), and an Unknown Gem Fusion stand with Stevonnie. Yellow Diamond poofs Opal, Garnet, and the Unknown Gem Fusion. Stevonnie is seen being thrown into a "timeout" room as the episode ends.
