[Sighs]

She'll call when she's ready.

For now, you just have to let go.

[Squawking continues]

[Sighs]

I wish I could tell you that I Aah, aah! [Cellphone buzzing]

Ah! Ah! Ugh! Okay, Universe.

This is it! Connie's finally ready to talk.

No expectations.

Just let her say what she needs to say! Aw.

Peridot: Steven! [Chuckles]

It's us.

Oh, hi, Peridot.

Hi, Lapis.

Don't forget Pumpkin! [Barks]

[Chuckles]

Hi, Pumpkin! I'd told you he'd answer.

It's so good to see you.

I'm glad you're okay.

Lapis was worried you lost your phone on Homeworld, but I said, "No way! He's probably just ignoring us.

" Sorry, guys.

There's been a lot going on.

- Like what? Tell us! - Well, Connie is really mad at me.

No, no, no, no.

Tell us about space! - And start from the beginning.

- Uh, okay.

I was trying to protect Beach City, so I surrendered myself to Homeworld, and I was put in a big, empty room, and I ended up on trial in front of the Diamonds! - On trial? - What? - In front of the Diamonds? - Yeah, and You were in front of Blue Diamond? And Yellow! But it's okay.

I escaped in a palanquin and went underground and You ran from Blue and Yellow Diamond?! - Yes.

- Peridot, we have to leave Earth now.

[Sighing]

Uh-oh.

[Pumpkin barking]

Wait.

We can't leave.

- What about all our crops? - Guys? Ugh.

The vegetables will have to deal.

Okay.

Okay, but, uh we're only halfway through our rewatch of "CPH" season four.

[Chuckles]

We'll bring the box set with us.

But how are we going to watch it without the TV? We'll bring the TV.

- Uh, Lapis? - Huh? - Peridot? - Oh, Steven.

Good.

Let's go.

- Wait.

What? - We'll find some remote spot in the universe to hide out in.

The Diamonds will never find us.

Lapis, don't worry.

They're looking for me on Homeworld.

They don't know I'm here.

We're safe.

Yeah.

Come on.

We've gotten away with worse.

They've never been able to hunt me down - for my many crimes against them.

- This is different.

Steven is important, and our transgressions are piling up! They're going to take their anger out on this planet, just like they did before.

I can't.

I won't let myself get caught up in another w*r.

[Whimpers]

I don't want you to leave, but I won't ask you guys to stay if you don't feel safe.

If you have to go, I understand.

Right.

Peridot, if you want the TV, levitate it over here.

Hey, um, what about our meep morps we've made? We can't leave them behind.

We can bring them, too.

But they're installations! They need the context of the barn! If if we move them, they'll become performance pieces.

There's no need to get so emotional! You're right.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Performance art isn't bad, just misunderstood.

Hmm, maybe I can do something.

Ah! Our smaller-than-average lake! Guh! [Pumpkin barking]

- Whoa.

- Whoa.

[Rumbling]

There.

Now we can bring our whole life with us you, me, and all of our things.

- Right.

Right! - Well, let's get going.

You're leaving right now? I thought that I I don't know what to say.

Goodbye, Steven.

Good luck.

[Sniffles]

Peridot, don't you want to say bye? Uhh [Whimpers]

Umm [Gasps]

Wait.

Where's Pumpkin? - She's not inside? - She was just standing next to me! We have to find her.

I'll check from above.

Peridot, you search the ground.

- I'll help, too! Pumpkin? - Pumpkin?! Pumpkin? Pumpkin! - Pumpkin? Pumpkin! - Pumpkin? - Pumpkin? - Pumpkin? [Softly]

Pumpkin.

Pumpkin! Where are you, buddy? [Panting]

Pumpkin! [Music]

You know, I'm really going to miss you guys when you're in space.

Well, that's a given.

I'm a very precious Gem.

Without me, you would have crumbled under The Cluster's obstructive force or have been smushed by Jasper.

I'm Peridot, there! Pumpkin! Ngh! Is she okay? Um Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Pumpkin! You know, I can probably still help you when I'm out in space.

I'll just video chat from my tablet.

Uh, t-there's no Wi-Fi in space.

Well, maybe it's best if we can't reach you.

If the Diamonds do show up and destroy the planet, we'll never know! Lapis was very agitated when she heard you were on Homeworld.

I was bending over backwards to make her feel better.

Watch this.

[Grunting]

[Laughs]

That is good.

Oh, yeah.

She loves this.

[Groans]

Maybe it's good that we'll be away from everything where nothing can change, no surprises or developments.

She's been through so much.

- She needs consistency.

- But what about you? [Gasps]

Another kindergartner! Fresh produce? Pumpkin is fresh produce! [Both panting]

It's just onions? Pumpkin would never associate with this inferior sphere.

- Aah! - Aah! Uh, Onion? What are you Hey, is that my hat? Well, that was a bust.

- We'll never find Pumpkin.

- Peridot [Rustling]

Pumpkin? [Whimpers]

Have you been here the whole time?! - She was hiding? - Come on, Pumpkin.

We need to leave.

[Whimpers]

Pumpkin! Don't you walk away while I'm talking to you.

[Whimpers, barking]

[Grunting]

Sometimes, you have to do things you don't want to do, like get jettisoned into space to live forever on a floating rock with a barn, and just us for as long as time exists! Lapis needs us! Peridot, give her a second.

She's doing it to herself! Pumpkin, do as you're told! Aah! [Whimpers]

Whoa, Peridot.

It sounds like you don't really want to go.

I'm sorry, Pumpkin.

I didn't mean to yank you around.

It's just we don't have a choice in this.

What do you mean, you don't have a choice? Peridot, you should really talk to Lapis about this.

- I can't.

- What? Why not? Oh, great.

You found her! Now, let's go.

[Rumbling]

[Music]

[Shivering]

[Shivering]

[Shivers]

Wait Lapis? Pumpkin doesn't want to go.

Pumpkin doesn't know better.

We do.

Actually, I I don't want to go either.

What?! - Aah! - Aah! Ooh-whoa! [Yelps]

Peridot, what are you trying to say? It's just, if something happens on Earth, - I want to be here for it! - But no! Why are you telling me this now?! Because we're about to leave! - Isn't that the worst time? - Yes.

[Chuckles nervously]

Then why didn't you tell me sooner? Well, there are many things I should say, but they would upset you, so in general, I don't say those things.

Peridot, that's lying! [Groaning]

Okay, then! The truth is I think that we should stay, and if and if the time comes, if the Diamonds do come to wipe this planet off the star maps, I think we should fight for this life we've built instead of tearing it up out of the ground! I think we can win.

I think you can win.

Earth is our home now.

Isn't it worth fighting for? What do you say, Lapis? [Music]

I am not getting caught in the middle of another w*r.

[Rumbling]

Wait! No! You're supposed to reward me for my emotional honesty! [Sighs]

[Insects chirping]

Come on.

Let's go.

Okay.

You're all set up, and you can stay here as long as you need.

Wow.

[Groans]

Thanks.

[Sighs]

What do we do now?
