Well that first post probablly started WWIII, so I think I will do something that hopefully won't turn into a joke: StevenBomb 2. I have multiple theories for these episodes, each one leading up to something big. I will also be discussing some hopes and ideas, just for some idea venting, and the hopes that someone will approve of my way of thinking for once in my life. Just a warning, this might be a long read, so be prepared.

Sworn to the Sword

_____________________________

This is a Connie focused episode, so I can't really expect much from Pearl, so the Pearl Slave theory will have to wait until next StevenBomb about 6 weeks from now, but I can expect Connie will get some character development. I don't really have any theories for this episode, but there is the no proof possibility that she will get injured. Seriously, Connie learning to use a sword by itself can't fill the entire episode. My ideas are somewhere along the lines of Connie getting injured, the only character in this show that I hate getting angry at Pearl, and Connie standing up for her, leading to the devil herself to actually feel sympothy for the second time and apologize to Pearl. My hopes are that Connie gains lots of character development considering she's just kind of been... there for a lot of episodes. Not to mention it would be great for the spawn of Whitney's Miltank and Maleficent to be put in her place. The last StevenBomb had an emotional one-off episode, so this can to.

Rising Tides/ Crashing Skies

______________________________

Oh Ronaldo. I late you (love hate). Of course he has to take front seat. Oh well, I can see this episode being one of the best in the series. First, theories. The episode's double name is suppost to be explained in the episode itself, so I'm thinking it could be a slight argument between Steven and Ronaldo. Ronaldo thinks the sky is crashing because the gems are using their powers to bring the sky down to Earth, while Steven thinks the tides are rising because of Lapis. Now let's look at the name itself. Rising tides has to do with water, and the best explanation for tides rising is either global warming, or Malachite. Now for ideas. I'm thinking it could be Ronaldo spying on the gems, and Steven trying to shapeshift ways to fly to find Malachite (as he saw in a dream). The episode ends with the two on a boat that Ronaldo tried to steal to find proof that the sky was crashing, leading to a storm where they find Malachite barely staying together. Lapis begs Steven to help, and Steven shapeshifts into a band that manages to tighten their bond as a fusion. Jasper says that the flare that was launched signaled Yellow Diamond, and that she will destroy the gems and reactivate the Kindergarten if Peridot doesn't first. Lapis says that Steven needs to learn how to use his shield before she comes, or the gems won't stand a chance. The episode ends as Steven returns to normal, and Lapis drags Jasper back to the ocean saying: "I can't hold on forever. Hurry." As for hopes, I hope Ronaldo learns not to get caught up in the affairs of gems, and doesn't mess with Steven. Obviously I hope Malachite shows up, and there is a pretty big chance, but mostly, I hope that this is the setup for the entire plot of the second season.

Keeping it Together

______________________________

Oh the theories! They all link together! First of all: the title. The title is Keeping it Together. This is a Garnet focused episode. It is also Steven's birthday. I think that Garnet will unfuse. In fact, I'm 99.99% sure she will unfuse, and 100% sure this will have something to do with Garnet at least trying to stay together. This episode is also about the Kindergarten, where they learn a dark secret. Something needs to break Ruby and Sapphire apart, and Ruby seems to have a simple design like Jasper and Amethyst. This could lead to Sapphire realizing that Ruby was created in the Kindergarten, and lied to the gems about coming from homeworld. This could also contribute to the fact that Ruby and Sapphire are suppost to be opposites. As for ideas, this could have to do with chasing down Peridot while dealing with these problems. For an ending, I think Ruby would apologize and give a good reason why she lied, something along the line of Amethyst's problems, and they would form Garnet again, beat her up until she surrenders, and they take her back to the temple to tie her up and leave her there until they figure out what to do with her. As for hopes, I would like to see Garnet character development, Peridot, and more buildup to the future with Peridot's capture.

We Need to Talk

______________________________

I don't have many theories for this episode, but they still exist. Let's look at the name and synopsis. We need to talk seems to indicate urgency, and Connie is in this episode, so this could have to do with Greg learning about or seeing Stevonnie. This episode tells the tale of Greg seeing his first fusion. I made a list of fusion possibilities going in order of least likely to likely.

-Old Fusions: Because that would be lazy, and Rebecca isn't lazy.

-Rose and Greg: Stevonnie would hint at this, but Steven is half human, and Rose wasn't.

-Rose and Garnet: This would be pretty neat, but Garnet just got her own episode.

-Garnet and Pearl: I've waited forever to see it, but no Rose, and again, Garnet.

-Rose and Pearl: Pearl didn't get an episode centered around her, but SttS is pretty close.

-Rose and Amethyst: Amethyst hasn't gotten her own SB episode yet, and she always seemed like the first gem who would fuse with Steven, so it could be forshadowing.

For ideas, it could just be a story of Greg's young years when he is starting to date Rose, and Rose accidentally mentions fusion, getting Greg to ask her about it and be denied of seeing it all Giant Woman style. He goes back to the temple where Amethyst is, talks to her, and Garnet says something big is coming, and that Rose should take care of it. Amethyst hides in Greg's hair, and he follows Rose to a corrupted dual beetle (which is a corrupted fusion of the beetles of heaven an earth). Rose tries to fight it, but is overwhelmed and decides she needs to fuse. Amethyst pops out of Greg's hair, and the two fuse to fight the beetle, leading to it poofing and running seperate ways. The episode ends with Greg ending the story, and Steven and Connie (or Stevonnie) leave and walk back to the temple. I hope I get to see Stevonnie, a Rose fusion, Rose singing a song about fusion, and mabye the confirmation of corrupt fusion.

Chille Tid

______________________________

I have no idea where this episode could possibly go, so it will likely be the farthest from the actual episode. First off, the synopsis. Clearly, the gems are stressed, so they would likely know of the coming of Yellow Diamond. Second, the hand drawn teaser question mark. If Peridot was captured, this episode would likelybe about her, and if not, we would likely get a peek at Yellow Diamond, or we could get both. For ideas, it might be about Steven thinking that the gems should try and get along with Peridot, and decides to have a slumber party with the gems and Peridot. It would eventually lead to Peridot trying to escape while the gems are asleep (which they did so it could actually be a SLUMBER party) and Steven getting angry at her for bailing after he tried to get along with her. She thinks about how Steven trusted her after what she put him through, but she says her duty is to serve Yellow Diamond, and that she would take more than her hands if she betrayed her. Steven says that she shouldn't have to listen to someone who took her hands and would put her in pain if there were people who could help bring back her lost hands and help her. She questions what he means by fix her hands, and Steven tries to use his healing pwowers, resulting in her hands coming back, and her being able to summon her weapon: a blaster. She decides to stay and see if humans are worth fighting for, and will eventually join the gems along with Lapis and Jasper in later episodes. The episode ends with a look at a yellow palace at homeworld, and a shadow of Yellow Diamond getting information about the flare from Joy Ride. Yellow Diamond (still in shadow) says to ready the ship and get ready to invade Earth. My hopes are that there is Peridot, Peridot's weapon reveal, and a small look at what Yellow Diamond is doing.

Well thats it. I guess I will leave you with ideas for next StevenBomb.

Beach City Tour- Steven shows Peridot the wonders of Beach City.

Double Date- Steven, Connie, Lars, and Sadie go on a double date.

Fusion Trouble- A gem weapon crashes that causes problems for Garnet.

Old Frenemies- Steven finds Marty poor and broke in an ally.

Jasper (HOS1)- Jasper escapes Lapis and the two have the ultimate battle.

Lapis (HOS2)- Lapis washes up and finds Steven at Beach City.
