Short summary/description: The Diamonds send emissaries to Earth to deliver a message to Steven about an impending issue on their planet which they claim is beyond their control. Are they being honest with him about this problem, or are they trying to manipulate him for their own selfish ends? Regardless of the answer, the "peace" Steven believed existed on Earth has been shattered into a thousand pieces. All the while, there are rips in the fabric of space time as they make their journeys across Earth and the former Diamond bases, as they begin to work on uniting the Earth together.
Back on Homeworld, the Rubies arrived in the Diamond throne room. Doc, Army, and Leggy bowed. The Diamonds eagerly awaited their report.
"My Diamonds. We gave the Diamond Communicator to Steven Universe on the planet Earth as instructed, lying about 'changes' on Homeworld, although we told him the truth about the 'rebellious' Gems. If there is anything else you'd like us to do, we will happily oblige."
White dismissed them with a waving of her hand. "No, that will be all."
"As you wish, my illustrious Diamonds," the Rubies said in unison.
The Rubies departed the room and returned to the planet's manufacturing facilities. They were helping complete repairs on ships damaged during the fight with the Horde Fleet. New ships would also be built.
While Steven may have thought the Diamonds changed, he was wrong. They wanted to maintain their standing in the universe instead. Another battle always remained on the horizon, although the fleet would soon leave the Homeworld orbit so that when Steven arrived, it didn't seem like the war machine still was humming.
