This episode was what i originally expected it to be, before the promo art dropped. Except, did anyone really think watermelon stevens, of all people, would make their return?
There are a bunch of ways to read the whole situation we were presented with in this episode, here are my 2 main views:
1. they stand for different approaches Steven can take and how he will need both to carry himself forward. He seems to have chosen the more pacifist one to clam down the shark (the diamonds).
2. The 2 watermelons being worshipped are Blue and Yellow, eventially giving in to their people’s needs and allowing Steven to go. White is the shark, again being dealt in a more pacifist manner.
Other than that, nice episode. Underwhelming a bit, but we can’t really expect a whole arc of intensity (especially when it ends on a 1 hous special).
