== Plot ==
 
[[File:Steven vs. Amethyst 019.png|thumb|220x220px|left]]
 
[[Garnet]] and [[Pearl]] warp back from their mission to look for [[Jasper]]. Steven comes up to them to tell them how Jasper showed up with the two Gem monsters she captured in "[[Crack the Whip]]" and how he and [[Connie]] fused into [[Stevonnie]] and were able to defeat her. Pearl first worries about Steven fighting without them, but then feels happy that he is able to use his training to fight off Jasper. Both Garnet and Pearl are very proud about how Steven and Connie forced Jasper back into the ocean. Garnet and Pearl then show concern about Amethyst, who they see has been reformed because her appearance is different, suggesting she was poofed fighting Jasper. Amethyst is feeling down because of how Jasper taunted her about her not being what she is supposed to be.

Later, Pearl and Steven walk towards the warp pad to start Steven's weekly training at the [[Ancient Sky Arena]]. 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 is "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, perseverance, and positivity. Getting enough Pearl Points lets 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 three training tests.

For the first test, they both must race from one edge of the arena to the other, high-fiving a [[Holo-Pearl]] set up at the brink of the arena to mark their lap. They will have to do two laps to finish and whoever finishes first will get a Pearl Point. Steven and Amethyst seem to be pretty evenly matched during the first lap, but Steven pulls ahead and wins in the second lap. Amethyst seems to be discouraged by this loss, but Pearl thinks Amethyst lost on purpose to boost Steven's confidence. Amethyst goes along with Pearl's thoughts, so she does not let on that she is disappointed and upset.

The second test is to train their agility. Four Holo-Pearls are set up to shoot from their spears at Steven and Amethyst, and they must dodge the lasers as best as they can. Just as in the first test, it seems Steven and Amethyst are both equally agile, but then Steven summons his [[Gem Weapons#Steven's/Rose's Shield|shield]] and destroys the Holo-Pearls. Amethyst is again disappointed by her loss, while Steven is awarded another Pearl Point. She becomes even more upset when Pearl suggests she is going easy on Steven again. For the third and final challenge, Steven and Amethyst have to battle five Holo-Pearls. Amethyst takes out one of the Holo-Pearls, but Steven defeats four in one throw of his Boomerang Shield, winning the last Pearl Point. While Pearl is congratulating Steven, he notices Amethyst is upset about losing to him.

Back in the house, Steven is playing video games while wearing a Jester's hat that he presumably got from Pearl's Prize Pouch. He sees Amethyst back at the garbage disposal eating eggs and mayo and asks her to play Lonely Blade with him. She reluctantly agrees. Steven advises her that she should pick the new costume, Blue Lonely Blade. The game starts, and Steven pretends to have a hard time playing and lets Amethyst win, thinking it will cheer her up. Amethyst knows Steven purposely lost and gets angry at him. They argue back and forth: Amethyst seems to be angry that Steven is so much better than her at everything and Steven is upset that the Gems have all been training him to be stronger, but now Amethyst is mad at him for being stronger. Amethyst then explains that she is not angry at Steven, but at herself, because she feels she sucks at everything. Steven tries to tell her how she is better than him, and he is the worst Gem, but this ends with them arguing over who is the worst and deciding to fight to see who the worst Gem is.

Steven and Amethyst warp back to the Sky Arena to start their battle. Amethyst grabs Steven with her whips, but he summons his bubble and breaks free. She then grabs the bubble with her whips and throws Steven into the pillars of the arena, but Steven adds spikes to his bubble unlocking another power of his. Amethyst remarks how he is obviously better because adding spikes is a cool move, but Steven argues it is not cool because it was a complete accident. They continue fighting, getting exhausted and worn out. During the fight, Amethyst reveals her desire to beat Jasper when she expresses her incompetence at not being able to defeat Steven. He immediately objects, suggesting that Amethyst is more than capable at beating him.

Eventually they both throw a punch at each other, but miss completely and fall to the ground. They start to laugh when they realize how much was done to prove that they are the worst Gem. Steven jokingly asks "What's wrong with us?", to which Amethyst says what's wrong with her is the fact that, despite everyone's positive attitude and encouragement, she feels she is just too small and can't be the Gem she is supposed to be. Steven explains how he completely understands what she means because he is not his mother like everyone expects him to be, which is why he has been training so hard to master his powers and become stronger. Amethyst replies that it is paying off. Steven helps Amethyst up as Pearl shows up and angrily yells at them for destroying the Ancient Arena. Steven says they probably will not see the prize pouch for awhile.
