For me, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, but not because of suspense. The episode freaked me out. First with Garnet's last move in the dance with Pearl; I was praying that Garnet would not 'do anything' to Pearl, because that's seriously what it looked like. Then when Stevonnie met Kevin. He had a very bad air about him. You could just tell. He seemed like the really dangerous type for a girl at a party, if you know what I mean. This episode was a little too weird and awkward for me. I got far too worried about the characters in this episode and it was hard for me to enjoy it; even the smile from Garnet. I didn't understand her excitement that much. This is just speculation, but I think Garnet's excitment can be tied to the theory that she herself is a fusion gem. This goes along with what she tells Stevonnie, that they're not two people, not one person, but an experience. Because if fusions are experiences, then it would take one to know one. Didn't wanna repeatedly type in "experience" in that explanation. As much as I disagree with that theory, I must agree when it comes to how off-putingly excited Garnet was over Stevonnie's exsistance. Maybe it was because she was just really happy for Steven to really be able to fuse. However, I find it more likely, in my opinion, that she was excited to see the Rose-Quartz gem fusing with anything, even if it was something totally unprecedented and something of a freak accident.

She might have even been thinking in the same manner as Pearl in the next episode, with how much Steven was coming along so far and had finally learned to fuse, even if it was by accident.
