There’s a theory floating around that the reason Peridot fears a simple thunderstorm in “When It Rains” is because she’s mistaking it for the synthetic storm housed in The Geode, which might actually be the egg of The Cluster. Assuming That’s true, there’s something she doesn’t know:

The Homeworld doomsday weapon she so deeply fears has been delayed from hatching. With fucking duct tape.

IMAGINE HOW HARD SHE WOULD LOSE HER SHIT IF SHE LEARNED THAT THE INVINCIBLE CLUSTER WAS STOPPED FROM HATCHING FOR LIKE A YEAR BY AN ARCHAIC HUMAN ADHESIVE STRIP

That would actually be a fascinating revelation because she’s relied on technology for everything including making herself taller. To find such a primitive invention could stop the destruction of the world could open her eyes and make her rely less on tech. hell, it might even motivate her to allow a weapon.
