Steven tries to avoid Connie so he doesn't have to tell her about his most harrowing adventure. He feels that if he does this, she will remain safe from all the danger in his world.
After the battle with Jasper, Connie grows worried after the message that Steven left on her answering machine and calls back. She hears Amethyst shouting in excitement that they won. Before Steven begins to tell Connie of what happened, he sees Greg drive to them before promising to call her back. After Greg hugs Steven in relief that he's okay, Steven tells Greg everything, also including the fact that Jasper thought Steven was his own mother, Rose Quartz, Greg panics and rushes back to his van, trying to find some music to calm his nerves. While trying to find his calming music CD, he accidentally ends up playing heavy metal music which causes him to become more panicked. Not wanting to see Connie reacting the same way, he holds off answering his phone until he can find the right words. She tries to call Steven all day, but he doesn't know what to say to her, so he wanders around Beach City trying to come up with something to say. Everywhere he goes, he sees damage to various storefronts, and debris from the Gem Warship.
He walks up to a hilltop to survey the aftermath of the Gem attack. There he encounters Ronaldo, who tells him that Mayor Dewey is bringing the people of the city back, and about how they relate to hiding the harsh truth from them. After noticing the Giant Warship, he leaves to collect some proof for his blog, leaving Steven to ponder more about Ronaldo's words. Fearing that Connie would get hurt if she continues to be with him, Steven decides that it is better to avoid her altogether (resulting to him singing Full Disclosure).
Back home, while listening to Pearl and Amethyst debate whether to protect the crash site with a barbed
fence or moat (respectively), Steven relays his decision to them, but Garnet refuses, saying that Steven needs to interact with his father and friends. Amethyst says it's going to be hard for him to avoid his friends since Connie, to Steven's surprise, is already coming up his doorstep as they speak. While Connie is distracted talking to Pearl, Steven sneaks out the window and runs down to the beach.
When Connie starts to leave, she sees Steven running away and follows him down to the crash site.
Steven hides behind some debris from the wreckage as Connie desperately tries to call him. At first Steven doesn't reply to her calls, but after a while he sends her a text message saying that he didn't want to be friends with her anymore. Shocked over this sudden response, she demands that if he means it, he should say it to her face.
After a few tense moments, Steven jumps down and finally faces Connie, only to break down in tears and saying that he still wants to be friends with her. The two reconcile before Steven finally tells Connie of the events that took place in "Jail Break". Greg, calmed down, arrives as Connie tells Steven that she still wants to be with him (being a part of his "universe"). They drive through Beach City, where the people are coming back, before taking Connie home.
In the very first scene, Pearl is shown with her arm around Garnets arm. However, when the camera shot changes, Pearls arm is no longer holding hers. But in the next shot, she's holding on again.
In Greg's van, the dashboard isn't punched in as it was in "The Return".
