Synopsis
A toy trade between Steven and Onion escalates to epic proportions.
Plot
Steven finds Amethyst outside and tells her that he loses his "G.U.Y" toy. Pearl told him that he can't find his stuff because of his room being messy. She opens his window and a bird with a pizza flew outside. Then he goes into town to tell his father the bad news leaving the two still arguing. When he get to the car wash, his father sprayed him with the hose ready to play with him. Steven tells his dad that he lost his toy his father gave him last summer. His father then gives him a bag of quarters with which he goes to Funland Arcade to try to win another one. After numerous failed attempts, he realizes that Onion has the particular "G.U.Y" he wants. He follows him with the hopes of trading all the toys he has for the particular "Ranger Guy". With Onion refusing the trade, he goes back to the Temple and talks with Amethyst who gives him Pearl's Replicator Wand. The wand is to Onion's liking and he accepts the trade. As time passes, Onion begins to replicate countless numbers of toys. The gems, bombarded by Onion's attacks, fail to coerce Onion to relinquish the Replicator Wand. As the Gems have Onion's attention, Steven is able to jump on Onion and cause him to drop the wand. He realizes that all along, Onion had stolen his "Ranger Guy" and in the end, lets him keep it because he realizes all Onion does is "Sit around and wait for his dad". Garnet destroys the Replicator Wand which results in the disintergration of every replicated toy and item.
