I think we figured out that pearls were a subclass of a gems by now, so I wasn’t terribly surprised. Our Pearl obviously belonged to Rose Quartz, but after seeing how individuality was the striking point of earth, she didn’t want Pearl to be her ‘servant’ or ‘accessory’ anymore.

Though my favorite line in the entire episode was Garnet saying ‘Welcome to Earth’. Things don’t work here at all like they do on homeworld.
