The show embarks on an important mission.

What does it mean to still be watching Steven Universe at the end of 2018?

A wedding gives way to a long-awaited, show-changing climax.

It's a return of a character we haven't seen in a while, and a heartfelt reunion.

I'm just. I'm just so proud of Amethyst, y'all.

Ruby and Sapphire reconsider their relationship and think about what they want. There are so many feelings.

A solid Pearl episode that also tries, but fails, to answer for Rose Quartz.

Maybe the biggest and best episode in a long, long time.

It's nice to be coming back to this plot, but the writing has trouble balancing realism with narrative satisfaction.

A solid closer to the episode bomb that still winds up reminding us of all the characters we haven't spent time with for a while.

A quiet character piece that's a good reminder of Estelle's vocal chops. In case you forgot she was excellent.

It's not doing anything new for the series but it's doing it all well, and these characters deserve to have a nice time.

Another storybook episode that's technically the cap of a three-episode arc. You know, the one that started....three months ago....

At long, long, long last, it's time to talk to, rather than about, the infamous Pink Diamond.

I've never been so happy to eat my words. Kevin's still the worst, though.

Importance of plot progression aside, we needed this breather.

The best (so far) episode of the run is followed by the worst.
