White Diamond is holographically communicating with a citrine officer who's working on a foreign planet, "donate to the children's fund?" She asks the gem incredulously, "why? What have children ever done for me?"
Steven bursts into the courtroom.
"You want your pearl back?" He asks her, and pulls out Pearl's gem from his pocket. "Take her! Now Spinel can come back, right?"
White inspects Pearl. "No, this is the wrong gem." She throws Pearl and hits Steven's face.
"Then have some more gems!" Steven throws Lapis, Peridot, Jasper and other secondary characters at White Diamonds giant head (once again, the one at the top of her body).
"I've got plenty of them!" Steven cries.
"You can't put a price on my first pearl!" White told him, "and I can't forgive that thieving bilge rat, Spinel for stealing her!"
Steven finally snaps and creates a giant pink energy hand, grabbing White by the neck and pinning her against the back of her throne.
"Listen here, you monarchist fuck," he hisses, "Spinel's been living at my house driving me insane!" he shakes her vigorously, "AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE HER BACK BECAUSE OF A STUPID PEARL?" A small, pink iridescent gem falls out of White's dress.
"What's that?" Steven asks, suddenly calm.
White gasps, partly from shock, partly from asphyxiation. "My pearl." She breaks free from steven's grasp and holds the tiny pearl in her hands.
"That's a pearl?" Steven said in disbelief.
"I've been in this business a long time, boy."
Steven scratched his chin "so, if Spinel never stole the dime, she can come back to the palace, right?"
"Yes, Steven. Just let me and my pearl have our privacy." She kissed the gem softly.
Steven cheers madly before running back to the warp pad and yeeting it back to Earth.
Yellow Pearl approaches Spinel, who's still in her bed. "Well, Spinel, it's good to have you back."
