You could say it was…. a toxic relationship!! Ah? Ah? … And it doesn't necessarily mean that they'd be effected, just that they're effecting everything else.

Be an episode concept to have the Gems go down after them. The water's becoming poisons, dead fish everywhere, and they have to stop it. Either by freeing Malachite, or destroying them!

Also, what? So Rebecca Sugar had something against Lapis? Or just felt her story was concluded or something? Because I still wana know about the whole mirror prison gemcracking stuff.

This might be a joke but I would not be surprised if lapis kicks it at some point, on earth she’s pretty much the most powerful crystal gem alive
