Once Lars couldnt bear the thought of Sadie living a happy life without him, but now hes accepting that he cant be with Sadie for her to be happy. In the Future episode 'Little Graduation,' Steven learns that Lars and Sadie have stopped dating, though they are still really good friends. It marks a turning point not only in Pearl and Greg’s relationship, but also in Pearl’s character. RELATED: Best Episodes Of Steven Universe Season 1.
It ended in December with the Prickly Pair episode, and after the. With a beautifully animated sequence that pits a ballet dancing Pearl against vaguely twinkling city lights, “It’s Over Isn’t It?” is exquisitely sad and beautiful. Steven Universe Future season 1 has concluded with 10 episodes, and it was also known as the sixth season of Steven Universe. This time, Pearl wallows and pushes through her feelings for herself. It’s cathartic, and messy, and Steven sees and understands at least a little bit - but it’s not for Steven, or Greg, or Rose. Where her feelings have been, for the most part, tightly reined in (see “Do it For Her” and “What Can I Do (For You)”), “It’s Over Isn’t It?” is when the dam finally bursts. Later down the line in the series, Pearl does overcome her past and come to terms with her role in both Steven and Greg’s life.
Full of painful longing, Pearl grapples with the dissonance between her acceptance that everything is done and her inability to move on.
Deedee Magno Hall’s vocals are unmatched, reaching a theatrical intensity rarely achieved in the series. “It’s Over, Isn’t It?” is her magnum opus, a tipping point and reluctant acceptance of the fact that her relationship with Rose is over and has been for years. PHĪside from Steven himself, Pearl’s character arc is the most compelling in the series.
Perhaps one of the most bittersweet sequences in the series (which is saying something), “That Distant Shore” is a brief glimpse into what it would look like for Lapis to be blissfully free from her past. It’s terribly sad, and beautifully sung by Jennifer Paz. Steven finally finds her on the moon, where she laments the possibilities that could have awaited her on Earth in “That Distant Shore.” As Lapis uses gem technology to gaze down at Peridot and the other Crystal Gems, she sings about her fear precluding the chance at a future with her friends. Unable to convince Peridot and Pumpkin to uproot their lives on Earth, Lapis uproots the barn instead, fleeing to the Moon Base. Trapped in a mirror for millennia and unable to escape the trauma of her betrayal and captivity, Lapis’ relative comfort with Peridot and the Crystal Gems is upended when she learns that the Diamonds are after Steven. Pretty much everyone in Steven Universe has a tragic backstory, and it’s definitely not a competition, but Lapis Lazuli’s might top them all.
