"Garnet, what is she doing here?" Pearl exclaims as Steven and Garnet walk in followed by Lapis Lazuli.
Garnet looks at Steven before looking at Lapis and then at Pearl. "She's of no harm," Garnet simply replies.
"Yo G, if she's here, where's Jasper at?" Amethyst asks with a mouth full of food. Garnet turns and nods at Steven to opens his hand to reveal Jasper's gem.
"So what are we going to do with her?" Pearl speaks up place cleaning the kitchen counter.
"I say we crush her while she's still in her gem," Amethyst suggests and she slams her fist down on the counter to emphasize her point.
"No! We can't do that! Garnet please," Steven begs as he looks up at Garnet and clutches Jasper's gem closely to his chest.
"We can't crush her," Garnet pauses and adjusts her shades. "We'll bubble her. It should be enough to sustain her." Garnet opens her hand silently asking for Steven to hand the gem to her, in which he does. Once she has the gem, she bubbles it and sends it away.
"Okay, Steven, it's time for bed," Pearl says and Steven groans.
"But Pearl, I'm not tired," he complains.
"Lapis can stay with you. Make sure she's comfortable. Gems, let's go," Garnet says and starts toward the temple door.
"But Garnet, we can't leave her with him, what if she tries to hurt him!" Pearl exclaims.
Before anyone can say anything, Garnet stops in her tracks. "I trust that Steven is capable enough to take care of himself and," she pauses to turn and looks at Lapis sideways, "if he can trust her, we should try too. After all, she sacrificed her freedom to protect him. I don't think she'll hurt him."
Everyone is shocked at her statement especially Lapis
"T-Thank you Garnet," Lapis says and before adding, "I promise not to hurt him."
Garnet nods at her statement and continues on into the temple; she is quickly followed by Amethyst and Pearl.
"Yo, G, what was that back there?" Amethyst asks once the door closes behind them.
Garnet doesn't say anything but turns to face the other gems. She stares at them for a moment before heading off in the direction of her room. "Don't follow me," she says leaving behind two shocked gems.
"What's up with her?" Amethyst asks once all signs of Garnet was gone.
"I don't know, but I'm going to my room." With that Pearl walks away leaving a confused yet frustrated Amethyst.
IN GARNET'S ROOM
"Why are we even keeping her bubbled? She's done nothing but try and hurt us!" Ruby asks using Garnet's mouth.
"You know why? Rose wouldn't want us too, plus there's unfinished business." Sapphire says also using Garnet's mouth.
"Unfinished business? Like what? The only unfinished business is making sure she never gets out."
"I have unfinished business with her," Garnet says addressing both of her components.
"I'm sorry for hurting you Jasp and I do love you," Garnet says via projection to Jasper.
"I don't care your reasoning! If you loved me, you would've stayed. If you loved me, you would stop and come fight with us, not against us. If you love me, you wouldn't be acting like a shameless display that everyone says you are." With that, Jasper disconnects them.
"Matter of fact, we going to finish it now." With that Garnet marches to the burning room and pulls down Jasper's gem and heads toward the warp pad.
