Something I relaized recently is whatever happens in these two episodes Lapis could have (probably) prevented it all. Not just the malachite stuff, but in the Return she said that steven wasn't relevent to the mission, and Peridot stated the misssion was to check on the cluster. So Lapis probably knew about the cluster, and never told steven about it. But if she didn't go with Jasper she could have told the gems about the cluster sooner, and they could have done this whole drill stuff earlier before it started to hatch. However, that would have (probably) prevented Peridot's redemtion so its a good thing she didn't.
