4. What’s Your Problem

Very good episode, imo. Hardly any action besides talking, but I think the Crewniverse managed to make it compelling by attention to the manner of delivery. My favorite crystal gem keeps changing and now it's either Pearl or Amethyst, the latter reaffirmed based on this episode. She took real leadership here in a healing manner, which I suppose really is what the show wants to take us from it.

I mean it's basically one of the most obvious aspects of the show, but I love how the set up of three "moms" keeps delivering. Pearl has very teen problems despite being the most conventionally mom like, Amethyst can be mom-like in a cool big sister way or behave like a cool big sister. Garnet feels a bit aunt like to me.

Off topic, but still related: do you remember the strawberry fields back in an early episode when the Crystal Gems went off to investigate the ruins of a temple? It turns out that strawberries flourish in a sandy soil and sand is nothing than fine grained quartz. So basically it's an ancient battle field, it's the Verdun or Somme of the Gems. Fan theory? Very much.
