I would like to point out that ‘Volleyball’ it´s not only an important episode for Pink pearl and Steven, it´s also very crucial for Pearl´s character arc.

Pearl couldn´t believe to Pink Pearl at the start of the episode since she thought she already knew everything about Rose. She couldn´t believe how Rose had destructive powers and couldn´t keep secrets. That´s because when Rose was very different person when she first met her.

The “Rose” that Pink Pearl knew was very different from the “Rose” that Pearl loves.

One of the lessons of ‘Volleyball’ it’s that when you thought you already knew everything about a person, in reality,you don’t. And Pearl in this episode comes in terms with the fact that Rose was a flawed being like everyone else who that was trying to change and be better.

The Megapearl fusion symbolizes how both she and Pink Pearl are finally able to get the full picture of Rose, the type of person she was at the start and how she later changed.

“One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn’t understand why.The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other.”

This episode is great for Pearl since it helped her to accept that person she loved wasn’t as perfect as she thought she was. And this is a good thing, because she gained a better understanding of Rose at the end.
