Trapped on Peridot's ship, Steven attempts to rescue the Gems from the Homeworld's clutches, including two Gems named Ruby and Sapphire.

While she accompanies Greg and Steven on a road trip to another state and a visit to a motel in that state, Garnet's frustration with what Pearl did in the previous episode causes her to split into Ruby and Sapphire.

Garnet finally tells Steven the story of how she came to be a Crystal Gem.

The Gems reach a space station that once belonged to Pink Diamond, and sneak in to rescue Greg, but in order to do so, they must play the roles they were made for, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Followed by hearing about the revelation, many problems ensue within the crystal gems' relationships.

Ruby decides to explore her own life separate from Sapphire, and has a Wild West adventure as a lonesome cowboy with the help of Steven, Amethyst, and Greg.

As Ruby and Sapphire plan their wedding, Sapphire wishes that their friends from the war could be there to see it.
