"Guidance" is the 2nd episode of Steven Universe Future and the 2nd episode overall.
Official Synopsis
Amethyst has been helping Little Homeschool Gems find jobs on the boardwalk, but Steven isn't sure about her approach.
Plot
The episode begins with Amethyst and Steven at Fish Stew Pizza. Steven notices Bixbite working behind the counter by chopping toppings and cutting pizza into equal slices. Amethyst reveals that she has been pairing gems from Little Homeschool with Beach City jobs, including some Rubies that enter with Mayor Nanefua, acting as her guards.
Steven and Amethyst go to Beach City Funland, where he sees that many of the quartzes are now working there. Steven gets concerned because many of the jobs now held by the gems are very similar to the gems they held on Homeworld. Amethyst reassures him that this is not the case, only to have Nanefua's Ruby guards walk by and exclaim happily that her job is just like what she did on Homeworld and thank her. Despite Amethyst saying that these are the jobs the gems wanted, Steven explains that the gems only think they want the jobs, and that he must get them out of their comfort zones. He speaks with Larimar and Snowflake Obsidian, who run a snowcone stand together. When asked, Snowflake and Larimar both reveal they had ice-related jobs on Homeworld. To "fix" this, Steven tries to get Snowflake to fly with Andy in his airplane, though she is clearly unsure. He places Larimar in charge of the The Appalachian roller coaster at Funland. She is happy about this because she gets to hear human screams, which she claims are her "favorite of Earth's delights".
After pairing up different gems with different jobs, Amethyst storms off hurt while Steven goes to relax at Fish Stew Pizza. The star Iris begins to close in on Steven when he exclaims that he excited to see how everyone is, once they get out of their comfort zones...
Only for it to stop and reverse once Steven gets hit in the face with a pizza thrown by a Quartz. More pizzas are delivered violently, knocking over bystanders. After seeing the disaster caused by gems with unfitting jobs, Steven seeks out Amethyst and apologizes to her for going against her idea and asks for her help to "unhelp" everyone he helped. Luckily she accepts his apology and assists him. They fuse into Smoky Quartz to stop Snowflake Obsidian, who is about to crash the airplane she is flying. They are able to set her and Andy down on the ground, joking about their accident but then quickly apologizes and asks if they are okay. The two nod their heads still traumatized. Smoky then heads to Funland, where Larimar has lost control of the Appalachian. Steven and Amethyst argue through Smokey Quartz until Steven's new "pink" power seen in "Little Homeschool" happens again, giving Smoky Quartz the ability of super speed while also slowing down time. With this, they save the roller coaster passengers. Just as they prepare to stop the roller coaster from crashing, their Pink Power ends and it flies off the track and into the ocean. To which Smoky takes alright.
They unfuse, and talk about how Amethyst feels like she has finally found her place in helping other gems find their place. She then asks Steven what his future holds in store. Before he can answer, Larimar walks up, holding a stuffed bear behind her back, and gives it to Steven as thanks for giving her a job at Funland. She tells him that she discovered she is not great at operating a roller coaster, but that she is good at handing out prizes to children. She states that she loves their laughter, which is "just like screaming" (to which Steven is visibly disturbed). Steven and Amethyst sit by the beach, and see the crashed roller coaster car containing Onion float by. Steven is at first upset and gets up to help, but then sits back down, seeing as he knows Onion he will be fine.

Cultural References
- The scene where Smoky Quartz travels at a high speed to stop the malfunctioning rollercoaster, causing the surrounding environment to slow down, is a reference to the "Clock-Up" ability from the 2006 Japanese Tokusatsu series, Kamen Rider Kabuto, where the main characters of the series exhibit the same ability which enables them to travel at the speed of light while nearby objects in motion slow down to an extent.
- Alternatively, it could also be a reference to DC Comics' Flash, whose speed has been depicted multiple times over the years in this manner, a phenomenon called Flashtime.
- It also resembles the "Speed Gear" ability from Mega Man 11.
- Larimar's obsession with screaming and laughter may be a reference to the Pixar movie Monsters, Inc. In the movie, a society of monsters collects the screams of children to convert into power. After realizing this was unethical, they switched to using laughter instead. This mirror's Larimar's own switch from wanting to cause screams to causing laughter.
Continuity
- A crater on the hill is visible near the lighthouse. This is likely due to Spinel's injector from the events of Steven Universe: The Movie.
