"I'm afraid I can't help" Pearl told everyone. "I'm currently in the service of my Um Greg Universe, preparing for tonight's concert, showcasing a promising ensemble in the 'rock n roll' genre." Amethyst snickered a bit with how Pearl was acting now. "Cut that out" Yuni scolded. "I'm sorry, it's just so funny." Amethyst smirked. "You're evacuating people to the warehouse?" Greg asked as he came out while on the phone. "I'll... I'll cancel the rock show. No? You're right. Sadie Killer always draws a crowd. You got it, Mayor. I'll drop the cover charge and heck, 30% off merch." Then he hung up. "Dad." Steven said. "Steven, you found Amethyst!" Greg smiled. "Who is Amethyst?" Amethyst asked like a robot. Fuwa couldn't help but snicker. "Oh, no" Greg panicked. "She's even worse." "Nah, I'm just goofin'." Amethyst smirked. "Too soon, Amethyst!" Greg said in both relief and exasperation. Then they heard a noise going on in the storage unit. "Was that Garnet?" Hikaru guessed.

Inside, Spinel was shown to be standing over the fallen Garnet. "Garnet, you okay?" Greg asked the Fusion Gem. "Did you want the red cable or the blue cable?" Garnet asked him. "It doesn't matter!" Greg replied. "They're the same!" Pearl was shown to be storing a guitar into her gem. "Pearl, what are you dong?" Greg flipped out at her. "We need those for the show!" "Forget about the show~de purunsu!" Prunce told him. Greg flinched a bit from that. "Prunce is right, even if he wasn't exactly nice about it" Steven had to agree. "We have to stop Spinel's injector, or everyone on Earth is gonna die!" he then explained to his father. "To stop it, we need Spinel back, and to do that, we need Pearl back, and to do that, we need her missing pieces. Pearl and Mom rebelled together, so she's got to rebel with you. We've got to stage some big, dramatic event, something to jog her memory, like... Like..." "Like a rock show!" Amethyst suggested. "Like a rock show?" Madoka repeated out of confusion. "Yes!" Steven and Amethyst replied. "Well, hopefully this brings back Pearl's memories, though I'm not sure how~lun." Lala commented. "I'm not sure either." Elena said.

Cut to a shot of a poster of Sadie's show outside the warehouse. The tiny old woman from before placed her hand a sticker on it, saying "No cover charge." "Right this way, citizens," The tiny old lady said, looking to the line. "Ticket holder or evacuee?" Then everyone went to join in on the concert. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Thank you for gracing me with your presence!~," Sadie began to sing. "Good afternoon, sir, What can I do, sir?, Just say the word, sir~" "Are you sure this will work?" Yuni asked Steven. "It has to." Steven replied. "I don't know what else to do." "Anything for you, sir, Your friends all say, sir~," Sadie continued to sing. "You don't deserve her, I disagree, sir, I live to serve, sir~" Everyone began to dance to the song; well, except for Pearl as she was only paying attention to Greg. "It's not working..." Hikaru said in a desperate voice. "I-It's not enough." Steven said to Amethyst. "Maybe we need to hit her where it hurts." Amethyst suggested. "What?" Steven asked. "You know, her original boss?" Amethyst prompted. "The love of her life? The reason she rebelled in the first place." "Your mother, she's gotta remember her." Madoka told Steven. "Yeah, Mom... But..." Steven pondered before looking to his father. "If that's what it takes." Greg shrugged.

Steven gave Amethyst the nod and she took the microphone, shape-shifting into Rose much to the audience's surprise. "I want to be, Disobedient~," Amethyst sang as Rose. "I want to be, Disobedient, Disobedient, disobedient, Disobedient~" She soon turned Pearl's head towards her so she was look at her seeing if Pearl recognized her, only for Pearl's eyes to look back at Greg, showing that it didn't work. "That looks so creepy~lun." Lala commented from Pearl's blank gaze at Greg. Soon, the song ended and the crowd cheered, though Amethyst looked disappointed that Pearl didn't snap out of it. "Why didn't it work?" Elena asked. "What piece are we missing?" Greg clapped weakly. "Don't worry!" Pearl smiled, rapidly clapping her hands together. "I can clap for you!" "Ah!" Greg groaned. "What will make you stop serving me?" "As long as you exist, I will serve you!" Pearl smiled. Suddenly, Hikaru had an idea and whispered it into Steven's ear. "Dad! I've got an idea!" Steven told Greg before whispering his idea to him. "Are you sure?" Greg asked. "Aren't your powers messed up?" "I can at least try!" Steven replied. "But... What about me?" Greg asked. "I've never-" "C'mon, Dad, let's duet." Steven urged his father. Steven and Greg both went onstage. "C'mon, powers, work with me here..." Steven sighed to himself, taking a guitar. Greg took a guitar of his own. The two nodded at each other before beginning to play. As the stage effects flare to life, the two approached each other and stand back-to-back, shredding on their guitars and looking at each other. Hikaru crossed her fingers, hoping that her idea would work. A brief glow started to come out.
