Recap Kid: Upon Earth, the Amethyst gave her brothers a new quest - to learn to control themselves, so that they might all survive. The fusion found a fellow Garnet, who offered them her wisdom.

Recap Kid continues to read the story. Behind them, we see two scenes - on Recap Kid’s right, we see the Swollen Eyeball Spaceship, crashed in the Strawberry Battlefield, with Almundine walking forlornly away from it. On Recap Kid’s left, we see Almundine looking at Garnet, who is smiling with her palms held up in the universal sign of surrender - or perhaps to show Almundine her gems, which match theirs in shape and size, if not color.

Recap Kid: After many trials, they came to trust themselves and each-other, and promised to keep the secrets of Earth for their teacher until the time is right.

The next panel depicts Almundine standing in a colorful void, holding hands with Sapphire D18 and Ruby Z1M. Their guardians, Professor Muscovite and the Zircons Red and Purple, can be seen, blurry and dream-like, behind them.

Recap Kid: But when they returned home, the couple discovered that their sister has called Homeworld, and were thus torn apart.

The next panels are shown in triplicate - the first depicts Iolite T4K and her Pearl M1M1 holding hands on a messy black backdrop. The second panel depicts Pearl G1R sitting on Ruby Z1M’s lap in the engine room, the ship’s splintered core behind them. The third panel depicts Amethyst G4Z comforting her brother Sapphire D18 in his room.

Recap Kid: BUT…

This next panel mimics the messy black backdrop from three panels ago, upon which stands Iolite T4K and Pearl M1M1’s fusion, Lavender Chalcedony. A glowing white butterfly is perched on her finger.

Recap Kid: Little did they know, the new gems were like them.
