No definite answer to how many episodes Future will but I think some clipnotes I came up with will make their way to conclusion of this epilogue.
What we already know
- Jasper and Steven fight where the latter unleashes "Pink Mode." Jasper points out Steven needs help and "it's pathetic." This may actually attribute to why he is refusing "help." Steven gets a bit of her respect but takes Jasper's words too much to heart. His refusal of help or even admitting he's OK leads to Volleyball, Rose Buds, Little Graduation, and Prickly Pair.
- Steven still has "Mommy issues" and hasn't come to full terms with her choices and behavior and truly is tired of her being brought up or hates hearing more "bad things" she did being added to the list.
- The Crystal Gems are more than capable of helping the Gems who want to adapt to Earth without Steven.
- Other Gems aren't going to accept Steven's help or just outright hate him for changing their way of life. Mean Lapis, Holly Blue, and Bluebird (Aquamarine/Eyeball) are Gems who resist change and reminders that not everyone wants to change despite being capable of the such.
- His friends which include Lars, Sadie, the Cool Kids, and the Off Colors are leaving Beach City and Steven isn't sure what he wants with his life.
- Cactus Steven is very significant. It mirrors the Diamonds' own treatment of Pink and the end result of said relationship. Foreshadowing events may take precedent from here.
What Could Happen
- Steven and Connie will have a falling out that doesn't end the friendship but puts strains it.
- Steven will enter a toxic relationship with someone. Jasper or White Diamond which lead him further down his downward spiral.
- White Diamond lose control over herself and the image we see in the intro will appear.
- Bluebird retunrs with "Friends" and try to overthrow the Diamonds but it goes wrong which will lead to defeat, poofings, and maybe shattered Gems.
- The "Dragon-Worm," if correctly to be corrupted Steven, will take form and everyone, even Jasper, will be there to stop him.
- Jasper might realize that she might've done more harm than good to Steven.
- The others will feel like its their fall Steven is this way but Jasper counters this saying he knew he needed help but refused. Connie would be like "That doesn't mean we shouldn't."
- Steven is reached and returns to normal but isn't fully healed (Mentally and emotionally).
- Some time passes and Steven comes to terms with everything and decides to leave Beach City as he learns he's no longer needed. This is where Lars in space could come into play and takes Steven wherever and should want to return to Earth, he'll come out through Lion's mane.
- Caption "The End" with Steven winking. Give or take some Anime spoof.
