![]() The thing is known as a Red Eye, it’s getting closer to the Earth, and they don’t have a lot of time before the thing crashes into Beach City. Amethyst immediately freaks out and drags Steven home to see that Pearl and Garnet have noticed the same thing. While Steven and Amethyst are hanging out during sunset, they notice a giant thing in the sky that’s glowing as bright as the sun. Summary: When a giant Red Eye threatens Beach City, Steven enlists his dad’s help to find a weapon that used to belong to his mom. Which, really, is all you need in a first episode. It may not be super exposition-y, but we do get a pretty effective portrait of how the universe works. We see how supportive the Gems are and how unorthodox Steven is. The first episode is a solid display of what the show is about. Steven mourns the loss of the Cookie Cats, but the Gems assure him that he’ll figure out how to summon his gem someday “in his own Steven-y way.” He tells them he’s okay, but he probably had one too many Cookie Cats in battle. Steven is visibly upset, but he ends up rallying and throwing the freezer onto the Mother, electrocuting her and giving the Gems time to summon their weapons and destroy her. Before he can continue his experiment though, the Mother destroys the freezer and the rest of the Cookie Cats. He begins eating them, but soon realizes that it isn’t working like before. The gems go outside to fight it, but Steven follows them with the Cookie Cats in tow. Right then is when the Centipeetle Mother decides to attack the house. Steven feels reassured, saying that if he doesn’t have his powers, he at least has… COOKIE CAT! Oh Steven…Įxcept that appears to be true because when he eats another Cookie Cat, his gem glows brighter and his weapon finally reveals itself: a shield! Steven celebrates, claiming that he summoned his powers by eating ice cream! Uhhh… I don’t think… Oh forget it. The Gems assure him that’s not true and that he is one of them. Steven gets disappointed and fears that he’s never really going to be a Gem. He tries his best to recreate what exactly happened the last time it glowed, but it doesn’t work. This leaves poor Steven very, very confused. ![]() ![]() Pearl tells him it’s all about hard training, Amethyst claims she can just summon hers impulsively, and Garnet says hers comes from connecting with all living matter of the universe. He asks the three of them what they do to summon theirs and they give him three very differrent answers. They try to see if Steven can summon his weapon, but he panics and soon, the gem stops glowing. That’s when Steven’s gem starts to glow for the first time. After Steven happily performs the Cookie Cat rap, he thanks the three of them and tells him that he’ll cherish the Cookie Cats forever… after he eats just one of them… It turns out that the Gems knew that they were Steven’s favorite and bought all that they could find just for him. Steven shoos it away and then notices a whole supply of Cookie Cats sitting in the freezer. Just then, a centipeetle breaks into the fridge and starts wrecking it up. Steven offers to help them find the centipeetle mother, but Pearl tells him that it would be better to leave the world saving up to them until Steven can master his gem. Lars tells Steven to just make more with his gem, but Steven insists it doesn’t work like that… He thinks… Sadie offers to let Steven take the freezer home to mourn his loss that way.Īs Steven enters the house with a Cookie Cat freezer on his back, he sees his guardians/roommates The Crystal Gems fighting off a hoard of centipeetles that have invaded their house. Steven gets upset when he sees that his favorite ice cream sandwich has been discontinued. My victory stance about this show is a lot like Steven’s.
