My favorite part of the episode is White Diamond calling Steven childish because he has been acting emotional and fragile for the entire story’s arch. This portrays a really mindset that “adults” often displays: that adulthood is about being flawless and emotionless and feeling superior to everyone, that opening up emotionally is a flaw, like those parents always telling their children “don’t cry, you’re not a baby”, “why are you always so sensitive?”, “you’re not supposed to act like this”.
When White Diamond tells Steven he needs the Crystal Gems because they are inferior to him, she is actually talking about herself, her court, the Diamonds, Pink Diamond. She needs those who she considers “inferior” and “weak” so she can continue abusing them to assert her fake supremacy and perfection above everyone else. This is often how toxic adulthood works in our society.
Ming Hua looked healthier in this episode and yeah she fucked shit up but it’s good to know she’s getting enough to eat and staying hydrated.

Spinel ate doughnuts in the movie, so she knows how good they taste.
Headcanon: Spinel starts promoting Doughnuts to Homeworld. Even the Diamonds try them, then Doughnuts become immensely popular. Being a doughnut maker is considered a prestigious position.
Maybe the Big Donut franchises into outer space. Staffed by Gems.
Spinearl (mostly the Chuck E Cheese AU) headcanon: Spinel (or Pearl) does a “Hey, you wanna get something to eat with me?” as a means to get to know the other better. A sort-of unofficial date. Due to lack of funds to hand, Spinel (or Pearl) can only afford one Doughnut. They split it and still and still have a good time. Laughter and good times over the silliness of it all.
Doughnuts become the icon for their relationship. Some couples will have “our song” they’ll have “our doughnut.”
