More than anything, this is a fun little adventure episode, but there are still some small bits worth appreciating. Such as Pearl expressing her appreciation for Earth’s capability for life despite being previously wasted because of the battlefield. Otherwise, like CheeseBurger Backpack, this is a dungeon episode, except in this instance, rather than various trials towards a final goal, it’s a puzzle, and the various trials are a misdirection.
This structure of the dungeon allows Steven to interact with it in a particular manner; Steven is still immature and, throughout the episode, cannot contribute to completing the trials, consistently requiring Garnet’s help, and the gems consistently express doubts about Steven being there. The recurring instance mentioned is a comical one where Steven got dizzy on a ride and accidentally destroyed it, a mundane struggle he failed to tackle in comparison. However, despite Steven’s childish behaviors, he shows problem-solving capabilities, relaying the experience back to the tea cup ride and solving the puzzle. Steven seems to have a long way to go to prove himself, but he’s making progress, and this is a fun episode.
