Ep 36. Warp Tour

In Steven Universe season 1 episode 36, titled "Warp Tour," the Crystal Gems are on high alert after discovering that there has been a disturbance at the galaxy warp. With no knowledge of what is causing the issue, the Gems believe that Peridot, a Homeworld Gem, has come to Earth to reactivate the warp and attack them.

The team sets out on a mission to find and stop Peridot, but they cannot seem to locate her. As they continue their search, they encounter strange, Earth-defying anomalies, including a gravity distortion and flying toys. They eventually discover that these unusual occurrences are being caused by Peridot's advanced technology, which allows her to warp in and out of locations undetected.

Steven, the youngest member of the Crystal Gems, questions whether they should be trying to stop Peridot at all, sparking a discussion on the morality of their actions. While the other Gems are focused on protecting Earth from any potential threats, Steven worries that they are jumping to conclusions about Peridot without fully understanding her intentions. He wants to give her a chance to explain herself before taking any further action.

In the end, the Gems come face to face with Peridot, who confirms their suspicions that she is on Earth to reactivate the galaxy warp. However, she reveals that her reasons are not to attack the Crystal Gems, but instead to escape a more significant threat. The Gems are torn between their duty to protect Earth and their newfound empathy for Peridot's situation.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as the Gems prepare to pursue Peridot and potentially stop her from completing her mission. Will they listen to Steven's compassionate plea and give her a chance to explain, or will they follow their instincts and see her as a threat to Earth? These questions set up the tension and drama for the rest of the season and hint at a deeper conflict between the Crystal Gems and their Homeworld counterparts.
