Summary
While navigating out of an ancient Gem maze, Steven tries to prove himself to the Gems by being serious.
Our Take
A middling adventure episode that leans on the show’s weaker side, the puzzle-solving. The spinning pyramid gimmick is clever enough, and Steven’s frustration with being treated like a kid lands honestly, but the middle stretch drags and the jokes don’t come as fast as usual. Worth a watch if you’re going through the season, but nothing here that you’ll remember next week.
