## **Plot**

This episode starts with Bowser confronting George and still "forcing" him to obey. After trying an "open sesame" command, his wishes are interrupted by the squawking laughter of none other than Skully. Bowser asks how his battle with the Worlds Colliders. But, he left to an anticlimactic expression by the incompetence of Skully; and the others following behind him - Boom Boom and Petey. Bowser complains about how his troops' misfortunes and George's perseverance is slowly weighing upon. Steven and Junior's secret team is gradually getting laborious, and Bowser knows he would have to fight back twice as much to beat them.

Meanwhile, Steven, Junior and Garnet enter a steamy and peculiar area, seemingly looking like a sort of kindergarten. Garnet implies that Peridot went to look for Spinel on her own. Junior feels distaste in the idea, as he knows Peridot going alone could lead to potential danger, but he conceals his intrusive thoughts to respect her choices. The duo learns from Garnet that the kindergarten ones belonged to Yellow Diamond. The kindergarten is seemed unfinished, hinting after abandonment, production was paused or completely shut down.

The kindergarten was also co-monitored by Bismuths, and the trio finds a blacksmith's forge. Exploring the forge would sidetrack the mission, but anything could be beneficial during battles. Steven finds ammo used for olden and obsolete limb enhancers. Junior finds a colossal hammer roughly the size of him and weighs more than him. The group compromise and decide to give the weapon to Spinel.

Time passes, and Peridot is still missing. The Worlds Colliders become worried about Peridot's sudden disappearance and begin looking for her. They put their sidequest behind them when they encounter a strange villain approaching them. Their muttering alerts Junior, immediately telling him who they are about to fight. It was CHB obtaining a peculiar item beside him. CHB's snide and puckish attitude disgusts the trio and infuriates them when he shows them Peridot's gem, which he presumably has poofed. He explains how he cunningly poofed her with his monster machine, powered by the prism and increasing its power every minute. With his despicable enthusiasm, he has the pleasure to try and take out the rest of Peridot's "followers" using his new and improved monster machine.

The Worlds Colliders frantically engage in combat with CHB's monsters, keeping their confidence high. With his overbearing bragging and laughing, they find it difficult to fight off all the monsters. And with their generation being at a high pace, winning became almost impossible. Luckily, Steven has an idea. He fuses with Garnet, forming Sunstone and creating an advantage for the team. The opposing squad of monsters attempt fighting back, but Sunstone uses the power of optimism and immense speed to overbear the opposing team's attacks. They soon defeat the majority of them standing, leaving CHB in agony.

CHB has no choice but to surrender to the Worlds Colliders. Sunstone sneakily grabs Peridot's gem and tells CHB to leave before more damage ensues. The team travel to an open volcano with enclosing innards, which Spinel's captive chamber is likely to be located. Garnet implies that she can swim through lava, and she will meet Junior and Steven on the other side. The duo agrees and heads forward to rescue Spinel. Junior hears the overbearing screams of Spinel demanding Steven to open the destabilising field, which he does. To Steven's dismay, Spinel thanks him non-verbally with a huge smooch - which he isn't too happy about, and greets the others formally. Junior is surprised that Spinel did not act hostile towards him, as most of the other gems treated him differently at first glance. Steven offers Spinel the mallet they found, and she proclaims it as the "Soul Smasher". They finally set off and embark on their mission to rescue Lapis.
