## Official Synopsis

British! Macho! Home Depot! Join **Steven** and his buddies in this *very special episode*!

## Plot

Rainbow Quartz 2.0 is playing "Capitalism™" with the little shit Onion, but notices the time and decides it is time for them to clean his room. He sings a song for him as they clean, with Onion almost killing him with darts (real). Getting a phone call from Garnet, Pearl and Steven unfuse.

Without being asked, Steven goes back home to find Garnet hosting a Horror Movie Night. Also without being asked, Garnet fuses with Steven to become Sunstone, who then proceeds to promote the hell out of Sunstone Cereal. They unfuse as Steven gets phone call from Pearl, asking him to come back so they can fuse into Rainbow Quartz 2.0 and contain Onion, who is destroying the house like the little shit he is.

Despite seeming like he wouldn't, Steven goes back to Onion's house and they fuse into Rainbow Quartz 2.0 once again. Then they play escalator with him.

Steven rushes back to his house to find it in ruin, possibly due to how Garnet just smoke an entire bowl and is now high. Steven yells at them for not watching a horror movie at Horror Movie Night, and demands they do.

Instead of doing that shit though, they fuse into Sunstone again who takes them skateboarding, teaching them about cars and really hammering the whole Sunstone Cereal thing. Unfusing again, Steven somehow plays a pre-recorded message from Pearl about being stuck in a Home Depot. Pearl calls him for real and he rushes back to Onion's house.

Entering the dark house, Steven finds Pearl cowering in fear. He investigates the kitchen and sees Onion (who else it would be, idk) making a mess of things and generally being a little shit.

They make the smart choice of giving custody of the child over to Garnet, who has since given up on the Horror Movie Night and has instead transitioned a "Safety is Fun" presentation. Steven is shown to be extremely tired from doing so much fusing, possibly to the point of insanity and perhaps death (foreshadowing). Meanwhile, Onion shows the rest of the group how to smoke weed.

They then proceed to go full Benny Hill and run around Beach City with the gems in hot pursuit. This climaxes when they fall off a cliff, prompting Steven to fuse with either Garnet or Pearl to save them. Amethyst shows up. Instead of choosing, Steven decides to die. This is REALLY funny to Garnet.

Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension, Sunstone turns off the TV and claims that was the worst commercial for Sunstone cereal they've ever seen, and whoever made it is going to die. They then sexually harass Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite before giving them a guitar and then plays volleyball and then sky dives.

## Trivia

* **This episode was brought to you by Sunstone Cereal.**
* This episode shares an absurd amount of similarities to the Spongebob episode "Overbooked". Maybe even word-for-word, to be quite honest.
* This episode has the least lines from Steven of any episode. Which kinda sucks, I really like that guy.
* This is the first episode to feature Capitalism Figure and Woody Figure.
* This is the last episode to feature Capitalism Figure and Woody Figure.
* Garnet's head can fit the entire resolution of Steven's screen
	+ Rectangular head, rectangular phone.
* Garnet thinks a show is "pretty funny", but Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite are seen screaming at it. This must mean Garnet thinks horror movies are funny.
	+ That or they were watching an episode of Crash & Bernstein.
* Footage from "Bluebird" is played on the TV.
* Being a mother is tiring.
* In Pearl's pre-recorded message, she claims she's stuck in a Home Depot with Tom Cruise. This is a blatant (and frankly quite shameless) self-promotion for the Sofa Dreamin' created "Five Nights at Home Depot" series in which Pearl and Tom Cruise are in as animatronics.
	+ If this phone call is canon within FNAHD's lore, this would imply Pearl within the series is the same Pearl seen in Steven Universe Future Realtime Dub. And, judging by the phone call itself, is likely as scared as the player.
	+ Scott the Woz can also be heard during the call, despite him only being in FNAHD 2. This either means Scott the Woz is secretly within the first game, or (more likely) a continuity error.
	+ Since this message is pre-recorded, this means that FNAHD 1 (and possibly the entirety of the FNAHD series) takes place before this episode.
* A popular theory is that the mayo seen rolling out of Onion's kitchen is not mayo, but rather Steven's semen.
	+ Rebecca Sugar refused comment on the subject.

### Cultural References

* Rainbow Quartz 2.0 is basically just Mary Poppins.
* "Woody" from Toy Story guest stars.
	+ Not to be confused with Woody Figure.
* The bear in the background of Onion's room do got that COVID-19 proof maskwear.
* Rainbow Quartz 2.0 sings "You Got a Friend In Me" from Toy Story.
* Sunstone kinda sounds like Randy Savage, but the science hasn't come back on that one.
* This episode was brought to you in part by *Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2*.
	+ Twice.
* Steven asks if this is "Five Night's at Freddy's now". It's not, but it was funny so he gets a pass.
	+ Although, I did hear the Freddy laugh at one point, tho.
* The words on the wall "Best Friends 4 Ever" may be a reference to the song "Best Friends Forever" used to promote the *LEGO Friends* line of sets.
* "Do You Believe in Magic?" plays inside of Onion's kitchen. That's the title, you don't actually have to answer if you do believe, it's cool.

### Continuity

* This is the second episode in a row to have a Randy Newman song play.
* Lord Scout voices a bird, like in "Little Homeschool".
* Steven says "hello world" like he did in "Bluebird".
* Garnet mentions drugs, and how she does them.

## Errors

* Rainbow Quartz legit skips a verse in the song, and it's embarrassing.
* Lord Scout voices a coat by mistake.
	+ Coats do not talk.
* Steven says what Pearl said wasn't a full sentence. It was.
	+ Considering he thinks he's going to die within the same sentence, which he later dismisses, it's likely he just had a "dumbass" moment.
* Despite claiming this is footage from a previous episode, "Bluebird", the dialogue is clearly new.
* Steven asks "who even likes Sunstone Cereal", implying no one does.
* Steven calls Pearl a guy.
	+ While this is an error, he does seem to have gender confusion issues, most notably in "Little Graduation".
* A cookie jar is referred to as a vase by Rainbow Quartz 2.0.
	+ Unless it is a cookie vase, then my b.
* Garnet claims to be showing a powerpoint, despite it not being digital.
* Steven doesn't like pizza. "Guidance", tho.
* Sunstone harasses some women. Don't do this in real life, okay?
* Sunstone can somehow see the viewer's tits? What?
