Plot

Garnet and Pearl warp back from their mission to look for Jasper , exclaiming how they'll never be able to find her. Steven comes up to them to telling them how Jasper showed up with the 2 gem monsters she captured in "Crack the Whip ", but he and Connie fused into Stevonnie and was able to defeat her. Pearl first worries about Steven fighting without them, but then feels happy that he was able to use his training to fight off Jasper while Garnet states how proud they are of Steven. Garnet and Pearl then notice how Amethyst is wearing different clothes, suggesting she was poofed fighing Jasper and had to reform, and worries for her. Amethyst is obviously feeling weak and distraught from her fight with Jasper, but insists that she is fine.

Pearl and Steven walk towards the warp pad to start Steven's weekly training. She explains how they have to train harder now that Jasper has returned. Steven notices Amethyst sulking and throwing eggs into the garbage disposal and invites her to watch him train. She declines his offer saying she's "busy making egg salad", but decides to tag along after Steven mentions Pearl's new training system, "Pearl Points". Pearl explains that you can get Pearl Points by having punctuality, perserverance, and positivity. Getting enough Pearl Points let you choose a reward from "Pearl's Prize Pouch", which Steven got joke glasses from during the previous week's training session. Amethyst decides she wants to train with Steven and competes with him in 3 training tests.

Steven and Amethyst both play Steven's new video game, and Steven lets her win. she then calls him out on it and they both claim to be horrible gems, and the other says the other is awesome. They both battle in the cloud arena, and they both wonder what they are doing. They both get up and apologize, and pearl walks in and says, "YOU BOTH RUINED THE RUINS!?!?!?!?" Then the episode goes off with the message, "no one gem is better than the other".
