Just an idea of what might happen in the episode after "Legs From Here to Homeworld".

It opens to reveal White Pearl. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>What are you doing here? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>My Diamond has instructed me to keep you company for the time being. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Is that a nice way of saying she sent you to spy on me? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>That could be inferred. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>What happened to my friends? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>White Diamond is currently in her ship. Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond are- </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>No, not them! I mean the Crystal Gems! The ones I came here with! And Connie! You know, the human?! What happened to them?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>My apologies, but my Diamond has forbidden me from answering questions relating to them. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Well... what if I ordered you to tell me? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>You may be a Diamond, but White is my Diamond. I'm sorry if that displeases you. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>No, it's not your fault. I know you have to follow orders. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>You honor me with your understanding, Pink Diamond. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Um... can you please call me Steven? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Is that an order? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Yes, just... assume that when I say 'please', it's an order. I'd feel really bad saying it each time. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Understood... Steven. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven's stomach growls. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Do you require food, Steven? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>(angry but calm) I'm not hungry. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven's stomach growls louder, and he clutches his stomach. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Is your Gem damaged? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>N-no. That just means I'm hungry. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>But I thought- </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I was lying. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Ah. My Diamond saw fit to prepare supplies you might have interest in. It includes food. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">A purple fruit with an odd, geometric shape emerges from White Pearl's gem, and Steven catches it. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Thanks... </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven looks at the fruit. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>It looks like... the fruit from Pink Diamond's Zoo. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>It is indeed from your zoo, Steven. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Oh... I guess I hadn't thought of that. Hehe. It is mine, huh? </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven takes a small bite out of the fruit and chews it. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>(muffled from chewing) Does that mean I can close it and release all the humans? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Of course, Steven. You're a Diamond; you can do whatever you desire. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven swallows quickly. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Really?! Can you take me there now, then?! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">White Pearl opens her mouth, and then closes it. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>My apologies, Steven. You are a Diamond, but my orders also prevent me from allowing you to leave. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven frowns, walks to a corner, and sits. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>So I really am a prisoner. Guess I should be used to that by now. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>You're no prisoner, Steven. You simply can't leave for the moment. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Uh, no offense, but that's exactly what being a prisoner is. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>I wouldn't use such harsh language to categorize it. My Diamond wouldn't approve. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Who cares what she approves of?! She's the one keeping me here! And the one who took my friends! What's the point of this?! What does she want with me?! Is she gonna shatter me or does she wanna just... keep me here forever?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>I- </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>And the worst part is, I shouldn't even be mad at her because this is all my fault! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven throws his fruit on the ground and begins to cry. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I came here to get White's help for the Corrupted Gems! But all I did was get my friends captured or shattered! And now I'm locked here, and White clearly doesn't want me to leave, and the Corrupted Gems will never get helped, and I'm gonna die here! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">White Pearl continues to stare off. Steven buries his hands in his face as he continues to cry. He eventually peeks through his hand and sees White Pearl, who still hasn't moved. Steven pulls the neck of his shirt up, blows his nose into it, and wipes his eyes. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>No apologies necessary, Steven. I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong for using harsh language. I was simply stating that I would refrain from it, considering my Diamond's abilities. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven moves his hands from his face. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>What abilities? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>My Diamond can sense the thoughts of other Gems, even when they aren't around. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>You're saying she can read minds?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>That is not inaccurate. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>So you never think bad things about-uh... n-never mind. I just wish I knew the point of all this... </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>While I am prevented from giving you the information you want, there is nothing preventing you from at least requesting an audience with White Diamond to ask personally. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>But I thought I couldn't leave. How can I ask? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>White Diamond's perception will likely allow her to sense your desires, so long as they are worthy of her attention. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>But how will I even know if she's paying attention to me? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>You are Pink Diamond. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Oh... right. I mean, I'm really not, but I guess it's all the same to her... </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven looks up and closes his eyes. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>White Diamond, if you're listening, I wanna talk to you. I feel like you owe me that much! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Nothing happens. He opens his eyes, exhales slowly, and turns to White Pearl. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Now what do I- </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">A white bubble encases Steven. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">[Trans. Int. White Diamond's Ship] </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven sees the walls of the bubble disappear. A bright, white light blinds him. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Starlight. I'm happy you desired to see me. I so missed our talks. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven begins to shake. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Something wrong, Pink? You're tense... </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I... I'm not te- </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Oh, Starlight. It's so adorable how you still think you can hide things from me. Things haven't changed as much as you think they have, Pink. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I uh... I kinda go by Steven now so- </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Would you like to ask about leaving, or would you prefer to speak of something else first? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>You... you know about... right. Of course you do. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>There's the bright little Starlight I remember! </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I just wanna know why you won't let me leave. Aren't I supposed to be a Diamond? </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Of course you are, Pink. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Then why am I a prisoner?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Oh... you shouldn't use such language. You must know how that upsets my poor Pearl. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>You really were reading our minds during all of that... </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>I have to keep an eye on you two. You both mean so much to me. After all, that's why you were in your palace to begin with; because I love you. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Locking me away forever doesn't seem like love! I wanna leave! I wanna see Connie and the Gems! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>And you will; all in due time. I wouldn't dream of locking you away forever; that would be wrong. But Starlight, try to see things from my perspective: you pester Yellow for a colony, which we all allow, and what do you do, hm? You put on an elaborate display and made Blue and Yellow believe you were shattered for so long while you... wandered around with your friends. Hurtful. That was hurtful, Starlight. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>That was my mom! I am not my mom! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Oh, Starlight. We both know you're not as certain of that as you claim to be. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven's eyes widen. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Nothing in this universe would make me happier than for you to get back to being the Diamond you were meant to be. But it simply wouldn't be fair to Blue and Yellow if there wasn't some type of punishment: you're going to sit in your palace and think about what you've done. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Y-You're putting me in time out?! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">White Diamond chuckles. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>A human term? Cute. And appropriate. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Well... I... I guess I see what you're saying. That's... </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven laughs nervously. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Wow, for a minute, I was really worried. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>See, Starlight? You shouldn't always assume the worst of me. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Heh... o-okay. I guess that's pretty fair. So... how long do I have to say in time out? </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Not long at all. Simply the length of time you were gone: 5,000 years. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Wait, what?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Come on now, Starlight. It's only fair. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>But... but you said I'd be able to see my friends! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Yes, you will; after 5,000 years. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I can't wait that long! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">White Diamond frowns. Steven gulps. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Would you like to explain this sudden impatience, Pink? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Well, there are a lot of reasons. The most important one being: Connie won't even live that long! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Oh, you don't need to worry about your pet human; she'll be taken care of. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Pet human? She's my best friend! And what do you mean 'taken care of'?! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>She'll live the rest of her life in your zoo. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>The zoo! But I wanna see her while she's still alive! And she has a life on Earth! And a family! Connie wouldn't want this! </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Then perhaps you should have thought of such things before your little escapade! </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven leans back. Silence falls. White Diamond sighs. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Forgive me, Starlight. I don't blame you. After all, that human has clearly been giving you such distracting thoughts. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven blushes. </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>This will all be for the best. And your other friends will still be intact and well. They'll have plenty of time to settle into their roles quite nicely. You'll see, Pink. You'll feel so much better after you've had time to think. And time to transition out of... well, out of... this. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Out of what? </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>All of this... Earth matter around your gem. It's clearly confusing you. I suppose there are ways of getting it off faster. But I feel it's much more comfortable for you if we just let it... run its course. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>But- </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>This has been a lovely chat. But I think it'd be best to send you back to your palace, now. After all, the sooner you get in time out, the sooner you can come out. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>But- </td></tr><tr><th>White Diamond </th><td>Oh, and feel free to continue borrowing my Pearl. You both seem quite attached. Don't worry about me. I'm sure I'll manage without her somehow. But just remember, Starlight: I'm only doing this because I love you. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven opens his mouth out of anger, but a white bubble encases around him. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">[Trans. Int. Pink Diamond's Palace] </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">The bubble opens, and Steven lands on his knees. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Steven. You're back. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven stands still with a worried expression. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Steven? You seem troubled. Are you- </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven runs up to White Pearl and hugs her. He cries with his face pressed against her. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>She wouldn't even listen to me! She didn't care at all! She's gonna make me stay here until I die and until my mom comes back! And Connie'll be dead too! </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>It's alright. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>This is all my fault. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>It's not your fault. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>She's so awful! </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>I understand why you have that opinion. It's alright, my Diamond. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven sniffles. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>I'm... not your Diamond. I'm just Steven, remember? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>I... yes. Of course. I was simply... confused for a moment. That's all. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">Steven raises an eyebrow, stops hugging White Pearl, and takes a few steps back. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>You... why don't you move? </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>You haven't ordered me to. </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>Well... okay. You can move... if you want. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Is that an order? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>No, I... I want you to move if you feel like it. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Are you ordering me to want that? </td></tr><tr><th>Steven </th><td>No, I... fine, yes, I order you to just... move however you want. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">White Pearl keeps still but begins to sweat. Steven notices the atypical scarring on White Pearl's right eye. He puts his hand out in front of him and licks it. He touches White Pearl's right eye with his spit-covered hand. Her gemstone and physical form glow. Her color palette and gem turn pink, and her right eye no longer features the atypical scarring. She falls to the floor, blinks rapidly, and looks up at Steven, whose pupils are now star-shaped. White Pearl smiles. </td></tr><tr><th>White Pearl </th><td>Thank you, my... thank you, Steven. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;">[END] </td></tr></table>

Disclaimer: I am not trying to prove that this theory is correct. I am simply pieceing information together that could make this theory true. This is just a theory, and I could be completely wrong.

 <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 200px">

<figcaption> Here is an image I drew of what I think Jasper's components would look like. </figcaption></figure>I will be discussing if it is possible that Jasper is not a "perfect" Quartz soldier, but instead a "perfect" Cluster Gem. Jasper could be a forced fusion of two Gems who's gemstones were not shattered, but instead forced together while completely intact, unlike other Cluster Gems seen. If Jasper is a forced fusion of two Gems, I believe they are defective Quartz soldiers. Gems of the same type are identical (except for slight variation in their color palettes and sometimes outfits). I'm certain that the fusion of two defective Quartz soldiers would look similar to a singular Quartz soldier of a different type that is not defective. It has also been confirmed that singular Gems have their fusion counterparts. If Jasper is a forced fusion of two Gems that are completely intact, I believe Steven's healing spit would be able to separate her components' gemstones. Jasper would most likely be unaware of her status as a fusion because Pearl confirmed that Gems "loose themselves" if they stay fused for too long in "Coach Steven", and Jasper wouldn't be able to unfuse due to being a forced fusion. I also want to add that both Garnet and Rose Quartz were revealed to have hidden identities (Garnet was reveled to be a fusion, and Rose Quartz was reveled to have been Pink Diamond), so if Jasper is a forced fusion, she wouldn't be the first character to have a hidden identity. <h2> Possible Foreshadowing to Jasper Being a Forced Fusion </h2>

Jasper's gemstone is very different from other Jaspers shown.
- It has a similar appearance to a Cluster Gem's gemstone, and the way it is shaped makes it appear more colorful than other Jasper gemstones.
Jasper's exit hole was shown in "Beta", but it was only assumed to be: Steven says "This is Jasper's hole?" After that, Amethyst and Peridot assume it is as well. Also, the hole's size seems to be a lot larger than Jasper. Character heights are inconsistent, but Jasper is shown to be a lot smaller than her hole's size.
Fusions shown have had less than the combined amount of their components' body parts, but not more. Both Lapis and Jasper have two arms, but Malachite has six.
Jasper's character revolves around fusion.
- Jasper has been defeated by several fusions on multiple occasions.
  - Garnet in "Jail Break"
  - Malachite from "Jail Break" to "Super Watermelon Island" (Lapis was able to overpower Jasper and keep their fusion at the bottom of the ocean)
  - Alexandrite in "Super Watermelon Island"
  - Stevonnie in "Crack the Whip"
  - Smoky Quartz in "Earthlings"
  - The Corrupted Jasper Fusion in "Earthlings" (the Snow Monster was strong enough to unfuse with Jasper)
- In "Alone at Sea", she asks Lapis to Malchite with her again, and admits to being wrong about fusion (she said that it was a "cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger" in "Jail Break").
- In "Earthlings", she was upset for a brief moment about no one wanting to stay fused with her.
- Fusion is what ultimately lead to her corruption.
