Steven Universe: Season 5

Steven and Lars, stuck inside Topaz, try to look for a way to escape the Homeworld-bound ship. Their heartfelt conversation commiserating over their plight earns them Topaz's sympathy.

Steven is put on trial before Blue and Yellow Diamond for Rose Quartz's assassination of Pink Diamond. During the trial, Steven's attorney, a Zircon, analyses the evidence and argues that the public account of Pink Diamond's death doesn't make sense, and suggests that the true facts of the case have been covered up.

After escaping from the Diamonds, Steven and Lars encounter and befriend the "off-colors", a group of "defective" Gems who live in hiding from Gem society. Lars defends them from security robots but is critically injured in the process.

After Steven brings Lars back to life with his healing powers, he discovers that Lars now shares the same powers as Lion. When Steven realizes that he can use Lars's hair to teleport himself back to Earth (via Lion's mane), he and Lars must make a difficult choice.

Connie becomes upset with Steven following his return from Homeworld and refuses to talk to him. Feeling dejected, he decides to help Bill Dewey with his rather hopeless re-election campaign for mayor against Nanefua Pizza.

As Steven remains depressed over Connie's silence, Greg and the Gems misinterpret his sadness and take him to a ranch house for a vacation to cheer him up. The vacation just puts Steven more on edge, until he eventually tells Greg what it is he's upset about.

When Lapis and Peridot learn what happened to Steven on Homeworld, Lapis wants to flee Earth to avoid getting caught up in another Gem war. However, Peridot wants to stay on Earth to protect it and has a hard time trying to tell Lapis how she feels.

With Peridot upset over Lapis leaving Earth, Steven and Amethyst decide to help her cheer up by attempting to plant flowers at the utterly barren Kindergarten.

Steven and the Cool Kids start a band, but they have trouble finding their sound. They decide to recruit Sadie, who writes a dark song about her frustrating job at the Big Donut; but that same job keeps her from actually participating in the band.

Kevin is throwing a party, and invites Steven only so he can show up as Stevonnie. Steven doesn't want to go at first, but changes his mind when Kevin reveals that Connie will be there. When they see each other, Kevin decides to help Steven get his "ex" back so they can fuse.

Steven and Connie travel through Lion's mane to visit Lars. When they reach the other side, they discover that Lars and the Off-Color Gems have stolen a spaceship from Emerald and are now on the run from their pursuers.

Stevonnie crash-lands in a jungle on an alien moon and, unable to contact Lars, must fend for themself. They discover that the moon houses an abandoned Gem base and orbits a former Gem colony, and have a strange dream involving Yellow Diamond and Pink Diamond.

Steven brings Garnet to meet Lars and his off-color crew. The Off-Colors' beliefs about Rose Quartz have been skewed by Homeworld propaganda, so Garnet tells them the history of Rose's rebellion from the Crystal Gems' perspective.

In this documentary-style episode, Steven records the rise of Sadie's new band, Sadie Killer and the Suspects. The band hires Greg as their manager, who hooks them up with producer Sunshine Justice for a performance in Empire City, though Sadie worries about her mother getting in the way.

Garnet spends a day trying to behave unpredictably, attempting to train her future vision to account for the unexpected. When she and Steven eventually discover some homeless kittens, Garnet admits how lost and stressed she feels when she doesn't know what the future holds.

Lars receives a letter from Steven updating him about the current goings-on in Beach City. While the town and its population are changing, the now-former mayor Bill Dewey is having trouble trying to find his place in the new status quo.

After Ronaldo sees Lapis's barn on the moon, Steven goes up there to try to persuade her to return to Earth. He almost convinces her, but ends up scaring her away after experiencing another dream about Pink Diamond.

Steven confronts Pearl about the shattering of Pink Diamond, but she can't answer his questions. But when Pearl asks him to venture inside her gem to retrieve her cell phone, Steven discovers the secret that Pearl swore to keep long ago.

After finding out that Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond, Garnet unfuses and Sapphire runs off, devastated. To try and calm her down, Steven and Pearl go after her and tell her the story of how Pink Diamond became Rose Quartz.

With Ruby missing, Steven and Amethyst go looking for her. Steven takes the search seriously while Amethyst goofs off, but her reasons behind it soon become clear.

Ruby decides to explore her own life separate from Sapphire, and has a Wild West adventure as a lonesome cowboy with the help of Steven, Amethyst, and Greg. Although she has fun, she still misses Sapphire, and she returns to her with an important question to ask.

As Ruby and Sapphire plan their wedding, Sapphire wishes that their friends from the war could be there to see it. Steven releases Bismuth, catches her up on everything, and tries to convince her to go to the wedding.

The wedding of Ruby and Sapphire, with the Gems and several Beach City citizens in attendance, goes without a hitch and Garnet reforms.

Steven tells Blue and Yellow Diamond that their final attack on the Earth corrupted the remaining Gems on the planet, instead of destroying them outright as intended.

With Steven and Connie trapped in a prison tower, and the other Crystal Gems on Homeworld poofed, Steven tries using his psychic powers to contact Connie, Lapis, Peridot, and Bismuth for aid. However, he ends up in the body of a Watermelon Steven on Mask Island, and has to find a way to get to them.
