Once Steven goes outside, he looks up and sees Bluebird dangling Greg off the roof. He asks his dad if he was screaming out of fun and Greg assures him that he is not. Bluebird then starts to talk about how there were two separate gems that were loved for taking down the greatest traitor (Steven) from Homeworld and they were cast out once they duped Homeworld into loving him instead and now they've come to Earth to have their revenge. She then unfuses, "revealing" herself to be Eyeball and Aquamarine. Steven isn't surprised by this, however, as everyone knew this and that they were just being nice. Aquamarine ignores his statement and grabs Greg by the hair and dangles him over the roof again as Eyeball holds her chisel near him. Aquamarine then tells Steven if he wants "My Dad" back, he'll have to listen to their demands. Such as destroying the Beach House, bubbling his friends, and burn Little Homeworld to the ground. Steven refuses to do as such. Then Aquamarine says, "then 'My Dad' gets it". Eyeball then questions what she meant by "gets it". In response, she tells her to do what they saw in the horror movie earlier. Before Eyeball could do anything, Greg grabs her chisel and cuts his hair. Steven catches him as Aquamarine throws his hair down in disgust. Greg, heartbroken, grabs his hair and grieves. While Eyeball and Aquamarine argue, Steven angrily tells his dad to go wait inside, and the latter does so while holding his hair. Steven goes into the pink state again and attacks the two. |

Official Synopsis
Steven questions the motives of a mysterious fusion that suddenly shows up at his house.
Plot
The episode begins with Steven filming a commercial for Little Homeworld, telling all Gems across the galaxy to come to learn to be an Earthling at Little Homeschool. Once Steven finishes the commercial, Peridot walks up to him and lets him know that he smells good. When Steven acts confused by this, Peridot pulls a note off his back that reads "Tell Me I Smell Good." A couple more pranks happen shortly after which include Steven's Juice being replaced with Tomato Soup, and finding a stack of toilet paper on top of the Dondai Supremo. Steven isn't bothered by this, seeing as he likes Tomato Soup and that he won't have to collect wads of Toilet Paper off his car. He does hear a mysterious voice, however, which catches him off guard.
Steven drives home and finds a party inside the house. He automatically realizes that a new gem has come to earth. Amethyst welcomes Steven and tells him to go introduce himself. When the gem turns around, Steven feels threatened, immediately realizing that this was a fusion of Aquamarine and Ruby (Eyeball). However, the gem acts kind towards Steven, such as introducing herself as Bluebird Azurite, hugging him, and handing him a tray of food.
While Greg is in the bathroom combing his hair, Steven pulls Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl in there with him and lets them know who this gem really was. They remain unfazed, revealing that they knew this all along, causing Steven to wonder why. He then reminds them of when Aquamarine kidnapped him to bring him to Homeworld, also adding the fact that Eyeball tried to stab him in space while attempting to remove his gem, and when she ratted him out when he was on trial with Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond. Garnet informs him that was all in the past and that people can change. Steven uses a couple more excuses, such as wondering why Bluebird showed up at his house all of a sudden. Pearl then informs Steven that Bluebird Azurite's presence is his fault, indicating that he broadcast a commercial that welcomed Gems from all across the universe to Earth. Steven then decides to give Bluebird a chance and Garnet informs him that if things go south, they'll squash her.
Once they leave the bathroom, Bluebird approaches Steven and apologizes to him for giving him all that food without a beverage. She proceeds to hand him a can of juice which sprays Steven in the face once he opened it. She wonders how that happened in a sarcastic tone, in response, Steven angrily tells her that she shook it and she knew it. Garnet corrects him and he changes his approach.
The next few scenes of this episode show Steven thinking that Bluebird Azurite will do harm to one of his friend's but was really a mislead. Such as when he noticed her approaching Pearl with a knife, to cut the cake she made. Or when she had Garnet pinned down, to pop a few things back in place. Or when there where chainsaw noises and Greg's screams heard from the van, only to find out they were watching a horror movie. Steven also finds a few small crummy pictures of himself around the house and he assumes that they were drawn by Bluebird, but were actually drawn by Amethyst, which hurts her. However, Bluebird shows up and complements her drawings, making her feel better.
Later, Steven is in the bathroom getting ready for bed. When he notices Bluebird Azurite's gems drawn on his face, he laughs at this as he cleans it off. Then the warp pad is heard activating followed by the sound of tire screeches. He runs out of the bathroom and sees that Greg's van had warped between warp pads and was now in the Beach house. Steven comes to the conclusion that Bluebird and Greg were just having some fun. Greg's scream is heard, to which Steven thinks is just another horror movie their watching. When Greg is heard screaming again, Steven goes outside to check things out.
Once Steven goes outside, he looks up and sees Bluebird dangling Greg off the roof. He asks his dad if he was screaming out of fun and Greg assures him that he is not. Bluebird then starts to talk about how there were two separate gems that were loved for taking down the greatest traitor (Steven) from Homeworld and they were cast out once they duped Homeworld into loving him instead and now they've come to Earth to have their revenge. She then unfuses, "revealing" herself to be Eyeball and Aquamarine. Steven isn't surprised by this, however, as everyone knew this and that they were just being nice. Aquamarine ignores his statement and grabs Greg by the hair and dangles him over the roof again as Eyeball holds her chisel near him. Aquamarine then tells Steven if he wants "My Dad" back, he'll have to listen to their demands. Such as destroying the Beach House, bubbling his friends, and burn Little Homeworld to the ground. Steven refuses to do as such. Then Aquamarine says, "then 'My Dad' gets it". Eyeball then questions what she meant by "gets it". In response, she tells her to do what they saw in the horror movie earlier. Before Eyeball could do anything, Greg grabs her chisel and cuts his hair. Steven catches him as Aquamarine throws his hair down in disgust. Greg, heartbroken, grabs his hair and grieves. While Eyeball and Aquamarine argue, Steven angrily tells his dad to go wait inside, and the latter does so while holding his hair. Steven goes into the pink state again and attacks the two.
Once on the beach, they try to fuse back into Bluebird Azurite, but to no avail, and they argue once more. Steven turns back to normal and tries to teach the two about what fusion really is and why Gems do it. The two Homeworld Gems ignore him and they bond over how much they hate Steven, fusing again, much to Steven's dismay.
