What I found interesting was that Amethyst does see herself as inferior to the other Gems which is something that I hope the writers can make use of for future episodes because there is a lot of potential storyline that can be made out of Amethyst's feelings. Jealousy, betrayal and redemption comes to mind. I thought it was sweet in the end that she gave that smile after steven said it was hug time. And I thought her final regenerated form was cute :).  Also the fact that Gems choose how they appear when they regenerate makes me think of the Gem monsters and what psychological damage they suffered made them want to become monsters. And the only Crystal gem who has not regenerated is now Steven which is interesting because he is half human and has his mother's gem. What would happen to him if he had to regenerate? Yeah. This episode gave me a new perspective on Amythest. She always seemed to be a laid-back, fun loving underdog to me. But now I see that she actually sees herself as "unappreciated" by other gems and is trying to gain their approval. She went from my 3rd least favorite character to my 3rd favorite character, behind Lion and Lapis.
