So, how would you like

your magical spit
administered today?

Ah, geez, uh...
the not kissing one?

You got it.

♪♪

Man, what kind of enemies
does the mayor have

to keep you landing
in my office?

That's classified information,
nurse-citizen Universe.

Okay, well, try not to classify
too hard out there.

Oh, don't forget your lollipop.

Yeah!

Next patient, please.
[Door slams]

Uh...

volleyball must have
gotten really wild, huh?

[Waves crashing]

Come again, just,
like, not too soon,

and remember, volleyball
isn't a contact sport!

Excuse me?

Oh, it's you.

I heard you might
be able to help me with this.

You came to the right place.

I'll have you fixed up
in a jiffy.

Uh...

Oh, sorry.

I-It's never not gross
when I do this.

Did it work?

Maybe if we try applying it
directly to the injury?

Huh? Is it me?

It's super not me.

Hmm, I'm sorry
if it's a sore subject,

but can you remember anything
that happened

while you were
under White Diamond's control?

Nope, 8,000 years
just, blip, gone!

So, you must not remember
getting this crack

in the first place.

Oh, no, no.
This is from before.

White hurt you
before she controlled you?

What?

Oh, stars!
What a misunderstanding.

This is all Pink Diamond.

My mom?

[Gasps]

Sorry!
It's just baggage.

Is everything all right?

Yep, but this is not about me.

We're gonna get you fixed up,

and I know just the Pearl
to help us.

Whoa!

[Cheering, laughter]

Think fast!

Ow!

[Whistle blows]
Next set.

Well, if it isn't my favorite
medical professional.

Pearl, do you have a minute
for me and my friend?

♪♪

Sure, did you come to compete?

Pardon?

Oh, I mean...
in the volleyball tournament.

Oh, actually, we came here
because we need your help.

Oh, what can I do for you?

So this is Pearl.
She was Mom's...

I mean, Pink Diamond's Pearl,
too, a long time ago,

and, Pearl, you remember Pearl?

She's was also
Pink Diamond's Pearl...

Ah, that's too many Pearls!

We should probably
give you a nickname.

A nickname?

[Chuckling] Yeah.
A nickname, you know?

Oh, no, I know
what a nickname is.

It's just that it reminds me
so much of Pink.

She used to give silly
little names to everything.

She was so funny like that.

Looks like someone
has still got it bad.

What about...
Volleyball?

[Giggles] Volleyball?

That's so funny.
You're just like her.

No, no, no.
I'm not like...

Anyway, we're here because
of the crack on her face.

Oh, poor thing.

[Whispering] It's such a shame
what White did to her.

- Steven?
- Woman: Whoa!

It doesn't matter
how how it happened!

What matters is
finding a way to fix it.

My healing powers
didn't work on her.

We thought maybe
you would know what to do.

Well, when a Pearl was damaged,

they were usually brought
to The Reef.

Yes, that's exactly
what Pink would do.

Well, I was her Pearl.

Me, too!
We were very close.

[Chuckles]
I love your energy.

It reminds me of
when I was younger.

I'm older than you.

♪♪

Here we are.

Steve:
This is The Reef?

Is this where Pearls are made?

Were, but yes.

It also serves
as a luxury boutique

and a center
for refurbishment and repair.

Repair, yes!
Just what I wanted to hear.

Automated voice:
Welcome, Pink Diamond.

Uh, no. [Chuckles]
I'm Steven Universe.

Welcome, Steven Universe.

I am Shell,
your guide to The Reef.

Uh, hi, Shell.

My friend, Volleyball,
has a crack on her face,

and we were hoping
you could fix it.

Understood.

Please follow
the illuminated path

to the Care Center.

You really didn't have to come

all the way out here
for such a trivial thing.

It's not trivial.

Soon we'll all be able
to put the past behind us.

Don't worry, Volleyball.

I'll be right here
holding your hand.

[Warbling]

[Chuckling] Whoa!

Please feel free
to take your time

looking through
the latest offerings

in accessories
and appearance modifiers

as we make our way
to the Care Center.

[Gasps]
Look at these darling fans!

What about you, Pearl...
any rush of nostalgia?

Please, nothing like
looking at glitzy tchotchkes

to get you nostalgic
for a simpler time.

I mean, really,
who even needs junk like this?

Right, Volleyball?

[Gasps]
What a sweet ribbon wand!

It's just like mine.

♪♪

It was a gift from Pink.
Isn't it exquisite?

What did Pink get you?

It's sweet that
you have these keepsakes,

but, well, no need
to be overly attached.

Guys, can we keep moving?

Yes, let's.

I've certainly had about enough

of this circus
of objectification.

♪♪

Welcome to the Care Center.

We have everything here
to update or repair any Pearl.

Scanning in progress.

So, how do I look?

I'm sorry.

There is nothing I can do.

But you just told us you could
repair any Pearl!

Her physical form shows damage,

but her Pearl is perfectly fine.

This injury must have
been so impactful

that it continues to manifest
despite the fact

that her Pearl
has been repaired.

So, it's, like, psychological?

That's absurd!
I am fine.

Uh...

How could White be so careless?

[Chuckling] Oh, no, Pearl.
You've got it all wrong.

Pink did this.

What did you say?

Pearl, no!

It's a funny story, really.

Once, Pink got tired
of asking Yellow and Blue

for her own colony,
so she went straight to White.

Of course, White told her
she wasn't fit to run one,

and, well, that set her off.

"Set her off?"
What are you talking about?

You remember how she was
with her destructive powers,

throwing tantrums
left and right.

She had a scream
that could crack the walls.

She didn't mean to hurt me.

I just happened to be
standing too close

to her that time and... Doesn't matter,
I'm gonna fix it!

Destructive powers?

Pink didn't have
destructive powers!

She was a healer!
She didn't throw tantrums.

She kept her feelings secret.

The Pink I knew
couldn't keep a secret

to save her Gem.

Are you kidding?

If anything, she was too good
at keeping secrets,

even from me!

[Groaning] Stop it!

I can't deal with one more
horrible thing she did, okay?

[Both gasp]
I don't want to hear about it!

I don't even want
to think about it!

Steven...

I just want to fix this!

[Rumbling]

[Whimpering]

[Whirring]

[Gasps]

I am terribly sorry
for the troubles

these defective Pearls
have brought you.

For Pearls exhibiting problems
this severe,

rejuvenation is required.

What?

When the process is complete,

they will obey you without fail.

No, no, no, no!

What have I done?

Shell, stop it!

Do not worry, Steven Universe.

Your Pearls are about
to be better than new.

Feel free to watch
their progress

on the view screen.

[Both screaming]

I'm sorry for not believing you.

It looks like I'm still making
excuses for her.

Is that what I've been doing?

But she didn't mean to!

But you were hurt...
badly hurt!

I was badly hurt.

How did you stop hurting?

I didn't.

[Panting]

I'm so sorry.

The whole trip was for nothing.

No, it wasn't for nothing.

Your mother's Pearls never had
the whole picture.

One knew your mother was
trying to change,

but she couldn't understand why.

The other never expected her
to change at all.

Now I get to understand
everything.

Now they finally get
to have each other.
