Pearl: I was your mother's sole confidant - for the words she could share with no one else, I was there to listen.

-Pearl: No, Rose didn't have a lion because if she had a lion I would have known about it!

-Pearl: But not from me, I was the one she told everything!

-Pearl: You...! Can't understand how I feel, none of you had what we had!

-Pearl: Everything I ever did, I did for her. Now she's gone, but I'm still here. Sometimes, I wonder if she can see me through your eyes. Oh, what would she think of me now?

All these quotes combined and their corresponding visuals literally spell out how Pearl loves Rose. Literally this whole episode is blatantly and subtly telling you all this.

@Answer men You think you have your own proof to dispute this though so please bring that forth. If Pearl really did have romantic feelings for Rose, why would she even try to imply it to Steven that she did, knowing that he might get uncomfortablised, or that he might have gotten mad at her? Her feelings were evident by the way she was acting, but she wasn't purposely trying to imply that she had feelings for Rose to Steven. The writers implying something about a character by writing them a certain way is not the same thing as a charater trying to imply something to someone else by acting/speaking a certain way. The former is intended by the writer, and is just how that character happens to act; the latter is the character acting a certain way on purpose on their own accord for some specific reason. That being said, we don't know if knowing that Pearl loved Rose the same way his father did would make Steven uncomfortable, (it probably would, because that's a pretty heavy thing to have to deal with) but there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Steven would never get mad at Pearl just because she was in love with Rose. No way. It'd probably make him sad to know that she's hurting in that kind of way, but Steven would never react to such a thing with anger.
