As for Pearlmethyst I recent read a fan theory that they did get together (to cope with Rose's getting together with Greg) but couldn't get it to last - and that's why they are at each-other's throats constantly in the show in the episodes after Rose has died. I really like that idea. Yes, that's how it worked in the 80's. But when Amethyst took Steven to the Kindergarten in "On the Run", Pearl rather reminded me of her confused, ungainly mother. Like, she tries to make her daughter obey her, but does not have authority in her eyes. And Amethyst just wanted to feel important for Pearl.

That theory is pretty good as well, but I think I'll stick to mine until something is revealed in the show.
