11	The Break In 	After all else has failed, Aquamarine decides to just break in to the House of Amethyst. Dark Opal tries to talk him out of it, but Aquamarine doesn't listen to him.

However, Dark Opal claims he's found the perfect job for Aquamarine, as a holds up a mug and gives Aquamarine a simple order: "make me coffee".

To make him shut up, Dark Opal throws a sword at Lord Amethyst, cutting his arm off. This causes Princess Amethyst to whelm up in tears, before having a sudden burst of anger which causes a massive burst of magenta energy.

Meanwhile, in a black and white limbo, Dark Opal sits on a stump, and ominously smiles.

When she finds out about this, she is forced to team up with Aquamarine to save her friends and family. After a painful fight with Dark Opal where Amethyst is beaten badly, Dark Opal cuts off her father's arm. This makes Amethyst burst with a strange energy which sends Dark Opal to a black and white limbo. However, Dark Opal is seen smiling, implying either this is still a part of his plan or he has thought up a new plan.
==Notes & Trivia==
*Due to this being more or less a children's show, the creators had to find a way around showing blood. They decided that everything from Gemworld just poofs in to dust. If someone loses a limb, the limb turns to dust, if someone or something dies, it turns to dust. The only time this didn't happen was with the White of the Wind, which melted away, leaving a skeleton which then poofed.
*In the comics, Amethyst's mother and father are both dead. This was changed, as the show's version of Amethyst wouldn't have a reason to stick around after the first episode if her parents weren't around.
*Merga actually appears in the comics. He isn't very well known and was a one off, but he was put in the show because Aquamarine needed a "big strong guy".
*Originally Michael C. Hall was supposed to be the voice of Dark Opal, but his voice "didn't suit the character's appearance".
