Episode 025: The One Where A Random Mirror Somehow Becomes A Probably Major Character?
Two episodes with Connie in a row? Score!
Show me the Beast!
Lars is still a creep!
Favorite background detail: the arcade game that’s just called, “Guys!” [EDIT: This is probably a reference to the “Dave Guy” episode instead of just something random. Oh well.]
I always wondered if everyone in Beach City just knows who Steven is, since it seems to be a really small town. Turns out that’s half-true (the mayor apparently just knows him as “Car Wash Kid”)
Fun kid show trope: the job of a mayor (and other similar public servants) is to just get re-elected and also do whatever they want all the time, but in a suit.
Garnet said, “Howdy, bang!” while making gun fingers at Steven, but at first I heard “Howdy…bag.” Which I kinda like more.
This episode was really kinda disjointed, even by the standards of this series. Connie has tennis -> Steven starts a school -> Pearl gives Steven a mirror -> fart noises at the mayor -> high DRAMA as Lapis Lazuli gets free (who I assume will be important).
I hope they explain why Pearl just gave Steven the mirror if she knew its true nature, because that seems like a weird move for safety-obsessed Pearl to make.
