I feel like this episode arc has been dealing with depression and the ways it manifests itself

We’ve seen Ruby, Sapphire, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl all handle depression in a way that you can really feel how it’s affecting the characters. Pearl took a while to reply to Steven after he came in and you can tell she’s really feeling awful about what she did :(. Even then, she’s able to attend the play and encourage Steven. That’s what’s so real about the show’s depiction of depression; you can go out and enjoy yourself even when you’re depressed– it doesn’t mean you’re over it.

I just want the conflict to be resolved already because Ame being sad was hard enough but they’ve all been a bunch of sad sacks for too long now :(
