I don't see any real reason for Pearl to be killed off and replaced. Sure, she's still quite emotionally unstable as of now, but the Crystal Gems need her technical expertise to finish the drill. They can't just rely on Peridot for everything. If the Crystal Gems lost one of their members, and one of the first ones, at that, they'd get a serious blow. Personally, I think that a gemsona could actually get onto the show, but the chances are a little slim of that happening. Pearl hasn't given us any more information on Rose Quartz yet, which is something that Steven desperately needs if he wants to get a glimpse of his heritage. Pearl is also essential to the battle strategy of the Crystal Gems. Her fusions aren't that powerful, but they're acrobatic, fast, and nimble, qualities that the other Crystal Gems don't really have.
agreed, the only time i could see rebecca even THINKING about replacing pearl is if the fandom somehow went all jar-jar binks on her
