Steven argues saying that a bike race isn't as dangerous as what the Gems go through on a daily basis and Pearl says that the Gems are there to protect Steven whenever circumstances go poorly and mentions that the Gems are too old enough to enter the Annual Bike Race and Steven is barely old enough to make the cut himself. Steven leaves the house and goes to It's a Wash to visit Greg. Greg tells them the Gems are just concerned about Steven and they know that he could get hurt easily but says that they don't understand how it is to watch a man grow up and encourages Steven to join the Annual Bike Race and tells Steven to wear a helmet. The next day, Connie helps Steven train while Pearl is watching them. Amethyst, eating a slice of pizza, asks what's going on and says Steven can just reform in his gem but Garnet says that they don't know if that can happen. Amethyst says that even if Steven can't retreat back to his gem, he can just go to a hospital. Amethyst then points to the Television where they see a man on a hospital bed whose badly injured, Pearl then wonders if there was a way to protect Steven and let him participate.
