Lapis said to Steven, "Your friends don't really care about other gems, all they care about is the earth. But I never believed in this place."

Before that she asked him, "Are you a crystal gem?" But, you set me free!"

Pearl has shown a willingness to gloss over details to protect Steven. She may mean well, but it's somewhat sinister.

If it wasn't Pearl who imprisoned Lapis, then it may have been Rose who did it and she didn't tell the others.
