—Garnet in House Guest |
"House Guest" is the 27th episode of the first season of Steven Universe, and the 27th overall episode of the series.
Synopsis
After injuring his leg, Greg comes to live with Steven and unintentionally interferes with Steven's powers.
Plot
The gems are helping fix Greg's van, and Greg tells them good old duct tape can fix it. He then offers a hand and struggles to get up, but fails and Steven tells him to take it easy. So Steven suggests that he stay with them until he gets better. Amethyst reminds Steven he has healing powers, and he licks his hand and touches Greg's leg.
Greg still struggles to stand up and he reassures Steven that he needs more practice and to cheer up. Then Steven sings Dear Old Dad which is about Steven remembering the time they spent together when he was young with Greg grabbing his guitar and joining in.
Garnet tells the Gems that the Geode is cracked and must leave immediately including Steven. Suddenly Greg feels lonely and Pearl gives him the Warp Whistle, which alerts the Gems when if they are needed back at the temple. At the Geode, Pearl begins to tell Steven that there is a synthetic storm contained within it. She is interrupted by the Warp Whistle. Steven rushes to his dad and asks what wrong and he says he was just making sure it worked. Steven returns and Pearl attempts to explain the function of the Geode again, but is once again interrupted by the warp whistle. Steven states that it is most likely very important and returns to the temple. When Steven goes to check on Greg he is asked where's the remote, to which Steven says that that is a very important question. Steven returns and Pearl blurts out that if the Geode breaks the storm will be released and all their bodies will be vaporized, with Steven comically replying "And then we'd be dead". Garnet then tells Steven that they need his healing powers to fix the crack. It doesn't work, Steven then doubts himself when his dad uses the whistle again to ask Steven to get some doughnuts. When Steven turns back to asks his dad what kind of donuts he wanted he sees him standing and dancing. They begin to argue that Greg is the reason his healing powers aren't working. Greg tries to take responsibility for the problem he created stating that it is all his fault, Steven agrees that it is all Greg's fault and walks away angrily. When he returns to apologize he sees that his dad leaving to go to the Geode to fix it and jumps into the beam. The crack is now widening even further. Steven licks both his hands and tries to fix the crack, however he once again fails to do so. Greg tells him not to worry and that he has another idea, pulling out his duct tape to tape over the crack. Now fully sealed with duct tape, the storm stops, and the sky clears.
Later that day, Greg is amazed to see his van completely repaired by Pearl. To show his gratitude, he gives Pearl a big hug, much to her horror. As Pearl hides behind Garnet, Greg admits that he should move back home (to his van). Before he leaves, he hands Steven the roll of duct tape "just in case" he ever needs his help again.
That night, as Steven lays in his bed, he shouts goodnight to his father, who happens to have parked the van on the beach right outside. The episode closes on two heart-shaped irises over Steven and Greg.
