This was an episode with interesting undertones. It merits a nice 10/10, mostly for the song and the message.

Let's talk about the message for a moment. It's what really got me to love this episode. It's all about how you have to confront all your emotions, and how you have to confront them in order to move on. I felt a smidgen of a personal connection with that message, especially when Steven and Connie are talking in the final scene. You have to feel bad sometimes, Connie says. Even though it doesn't feel okay, and even though you don't want to talk about the "bad" things you have done, it's still okay to think about them. You must be honest with your feelings or else you can't move on. I've felt like Steven did about the Gems he tried to help--Bismuth, Jasper, and the Rubies--and I didn't want to feel bad. I didn't want to think about the bad things I've done. But I realized that you have to move on, and to move on you have to be honest. You have to take a moment and find yourself. 

A great episode altogether.

Fusion being a literal manifestation of relationships, it's refreshing to see this in a kids/teen show.

Schools are too busy to teach us about safe sex to tell us how to have a stable relationship with those around us. We generally have to figure it out on our own, or we get the "textbook" definition of relationships and it feels fake when you go into that.

We should have more emphasis on relationship building, especially in romantic ones, rather than having it restricted to a small section of "by the way, be nice to people and you'll make friends" which relationships are much more complicated than that.

Well this certainly explains the reason for Stevonnie's demonic Kevin vision in Beach City Drift.
