Steven Universe Season 1 Episode 56 Say Uncle

Steven Universe season 1 episode 56, Say Uncle, revolves around Steven's uncle, Andy DeMayo, who comes to visit Beach City. The episode starts with Andy's arrival on a plane, and he is picked up by Steven and Greg at the airport. Steven is excited to see his uncle, but Greg looks uncomfortable to have him back as the two have not had the best relationship.

Despite the initial excitement, things quickly turn awkward as Andy is not familiar with gem culture and is unaware of Steven's powers. He also has a very outdated personality and beliefs which clash with the progressive and open-minded nature of Beach City. Andy's presence in Beach City causes discomfort for the Crystal Gems as well, particularly Garnet, who does not like outsiders interfering with their work.

As the day progresses, Steven takes Andy around Beach City, showing him his favorite places. However, Andy gets upset when he learns that the gems are not human, but alien beings. He also shows his disapproval of Garnet, who is a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire, two female gems. Andy believes that there should not be any cross-species or cross-gender relationships and this again conflicts with the open-mindedness of Beach City.

Things go from bad to worse when Andy accidentally breaks the fence of the Temple, and the gems discover that he has a collection of gemstones in his car. They accuse him of being a thief and arrested him. At this point, Steven tries to intervene to defend Andy, telling the Crystal Gems that he is just a human and not familiar with gem culture. However, this only makes things worse, and the Gems become even angrier with Steven.

Eventually, Steven decides to try and teach Andy about gem culture with the help of Uncle Grampa, a TV show that Andy enjoys watching. Steven realizes that the only way to get Andy to understand and accept gem culture is to do it through something that he is comfortable and familiar with. By making Andy watch Uncle Grampa's crazy antics and silly songs, Steven and The Gems manage to get Andy to see that there is more to gem culture than he initially thought.

In the end, Andy apologizes to the Gems for his behavior and even comes up with a solution to fix the fence that he broke. Steven also learns a valuable lesson about the importance of accepting and understanding others, even if they are different from us.

Overall, Say Uncle is an entertaining and heartwarming episode that teaches viewers important lessons about acceptance and understanding. It also adds more depth to the characters of Steven, Greg, and the Crystal Gems, particularly Garnet, who is shown to be protective of her culture and family. The episode also introduces a new character in Andy DeMayo, who brings a fresh perspective to Beach City and adds comic relief to the overarching story.
