"Fragments" is the 16th episode of Steven Universe Future and the 16th episode overall.
Official Synopsis
Steven heads to the woods to train with a powerful mentor.
Plot
After damaging Greg's van during the previous episode, as Bismuth tries to fix it, Steven looks down with shame and regret, heading back inside, only to be lectured by Pearl about his powers, immediately setting him off and becoming pink. Before blocking Pearl with a barrier, he tries to revert back to normal, and persuades that he needs space. But Amethyst suggests that Steven comes down and talk to them about his problems. Struggling to keep his powers under control, and not wanting to hear another word from the Gems, the entire living room cracks, as Steven once again turns pink and shouts, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" With this furious outburst, Steven realizes that he has once again slowed down time, and uses this opportunity to leave the house and go somewhere else.
Steven suggests that Jasper's cave is the one place that no one would think to look for him. While at her hideout, Steven talks to Jasper about how he isn't able to go home, but she ignores that and believes he's here for a rematch. Steven tries to reason with Jasper and issues the problems he has with his powers, but she believes that his friends are the problem, thinking that they're afraid of his power, and why they're holding him back. Jasper believes the best way to deal with anger and power is by channeling it, rather than trying to suppress it like Steven does. With no one left to fight, Jasper uses her anger and power out on the trees in the forest, destroying them completely. She trains Steven to do the same, who turns pink again before he manages to punch a tree hard enough for it to crack, but kisses it to heal the damage, much to Jasper's disgust and frustration, as she notices the grass has grown back as well. She demands that Steven show her the power he displayed earlier; and once he refuses, Jasper comes rushing towards him until Steven reverts back to his pink form, creating a barrier in front of him, but is still knocked back. Fed up with Jasper's self-efficacy, Steven creates a giant hexagonal barrier and sends it towards her, who is satisfied with the results, and shatters it with a single punch. He claims that he feels better unleashing his rage, and he asks Jasper if she can continue training him to control his powers, and she accepts on the condition that they fight once more in due time.
The next day, as their training begins, Jasper climbs up a mountain carrying two boulders with her, while Steven follows her, carrying multiple boulders tied behind his back. Next, Steven goes pink, and creates more giant hexagonal barriers, and sends them towards Jasper for target punching. Then, Jasper rushes into one of the boulders she carried up with her, smashing it into pieces. Steven attempts to do the same, but with no success, face-planting right onto it. Letting his guard down, Jasper drops one of the boulders right on top of him, but he manages to save himself at the last second when turning pink and using his diamond barrier as a shield, protecting him. More boulders are aimed towards Steven, but dodges them with no warning. And when Steven needs to sleep, he has to sleep outside. The next three days follow similar routines to Jasper and Steven's training, testing each other's power, and living in the wilderness. Throughout this time, still in his pink form, Steven grows facial hair, his hair resembles a pompadour, and he is currently above Jasper's height, who is impressed at how Steven was able to manifest. Later that day, thunder starts rumbling, and Steven, remaining in his pink form, is waiting outside of the cave, as Jasper returns with more boulders. Steven is done with the training he's done so far, and claims that he is ready for their rematch. Jasper is pleased with this, and the two begin to fight. As Steven lands the first punch to Jasper's face, she summons her helmet, now upgraded with horns on each side, and punches him back. Jasper is frustrated that Steven is still holding back, and as she pushes him to the limit by calling him "weak" and "pathetic", Steven gets back up and furiously boasts to her, "I'M NOT!!" The fight resumes, and as Steven shows to have the upper hand, he maniacally laughs as if he's enjoying the fight, as much as Jasper is. Once she's surrounded by his hexagonal barriers, Steven unleashes a giant wall with spikes to it, admitting he was holding back as Jasper said he was, and sends it right towards her with brute force.
The storm gets stronger and it is now raining. Inside the house, where the Gems are waiting for him, a frantic Steven, fully normal again, rushes inside, all the way to the bathroom. He turns on the faucet for the bathtub, and uses the remaining Diamond aura potions to heal Jasper, who was shattered by the impact he caused. Steven puts the pieces of Jasper's gem back together, and as he cries, he uses his tears as the pink aura to heal it, along with the other aura potions. Successfully, Jasper has reformed, and Steven apologizes for being out of control with his powers. However, Jasper steps out of the tub, and bows down to his strength, calling Steven, "My Diamond" much to his horror.
