Are you still gonna keep Jasper down when yellow diamond comes by or another powerful gem? Did she ever think about that? You have to realize she is not doing it for Steven anymore.

They're not Jasper and Lapis anymore. They're Malachite now. Yeah she basically become obsessed with the fusion, power corrupts and now it looks like lapis has turned to the dark side, possibly permanently.
