Is how Peridot remarks how it hurts that she can never go back home but, that it’s ok because she has “something different now”. And what’s really great is when Steven asks what she means she says “You… guys”
Peridot considers herself apart of their family and that’s beautiful.
This really stood out to me, because you could make the argument that Steven possessed those watermelons. He speaks of it very innocently (being “in” a watermelon), but it does have darker implications about his powers.
It’s especially interesting considering that Rose led armies of plant soldiers. We’ve been guessing we’ll learn something dark soon about Rose as a military leader, and it’s interesting to see Steven taking up that military leader role, and sacrificing the lives of his subjects, even if they’re just watermelons.
He’s becoming more like Rose and it might also mean facing a lot of her demons.
