The episode titled "Spring" in season 1 of Land of the Lustrous brings new challenges to the gemstones that inhabit this world. Springtime has finally come, and the land is seen full of blooming flowers and colors. The gems are excited to explore and discover the wonders of spring after six months of staying indoors and taking care of their bodies. However, the happiness does not last long as a group of aggressive gemstones comes to attack the land.

This episode sheds light on the individual characteristics of the gems. Phos, who has always been considered careless and immature, brings a unique perspective to the situation. As the other gems prepare to fight, Phos suggests that they try to communicate with the invaders instead. This shows how the character has grown since the beginning of the series and how Phos has started to think critically about situations rather than acting impulsively.

Another significant part of the episode comes with the introduction of a new gemstone. Cairngorm is a beautiful gem and is considered a "flawless" gem. However, due to Cairngorm's fragile state and its power to change appearance, Cairngorm is forced to stay indoors and not engage in any action. Despite being a strong gem in terms of power, Cairngorm is limited due to its inability to fight. This reflects the societal norms where individuals who hold power, are often burdened with restrictions that do not let them use their power for their own benefit.

As the invasion intensifies and the gems struggle to fight back, a few gems including Phos, Bort, and Diamond take on the task of attacking the invaders. This leads to an intense fight, and the gems are seen using their unique abilities against the attackers, proving their strength and prowess.

The ending of the episode leaves viewers on edge as the situation worsens and the gems realize that they may have to retreat. This episode highlights how different characters react to a crisis and shows how the gems have a shared mission to protect themselves and their world. The season has centered around the growth and evolution of the gems, and this episode helps to expand on that theme by placing them in a situation that is out of their control.

Overall, the ninth episode of the first season of Land of the Lustrous provides much clarity about the interdependence of the different characters throughout the series. Despite being able to face challenges independently, the gems come together and show how strong they are when they work as a team. The episode provides a great balance between character development, action, and suspense leaving viewers eagerly waiting for what's to come in the future.
