“when connie is president what will that make me? first boy?”

honestly I think that might be my favorite (non-singing) line in all of steven universe because it makes my imagine the craziest/best presidential term in U.S. history.

“Mr. Universe, many republicans are claiming that your birth certificate was faked and that you are an illegal alien. What would you say to these allegations?”

“Well definitely not illegal, but I am an alien.”

“you were born outside of the country?”

“no, I was born here”

“then how are you an alien?”

“I mean a literal alien, from outer space. My mother and guardians are all aliens.”

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Well I’m half alien anyway. I thought we made that clear from early on in the campaign?”

(conspiracy theorists have a field day)

“Madam President, why is your husband carrying a huge crystal disc out onto the white house lawn?”

“oh, that’s a warp pad, It lets Gems travel around”

“Isn’t that a security issue?”

“Well only gems can use it, and the only gems on the planet right now are friendly”

(the secret service has their work cut out for them)

and then theres other things- like the time the president and her husband combined into one person at a state dinner. Or how the president is ridiculously badass with a sword. Or how the fist gentleman has five (or possibly six?) adoptive mothers. Or that time the president, her husband, and an insane eldritch monstrosity defended Washington DC from an alien spaceship. (approval ratings skyrocketed)

what I’m saying is: Take some time to imagine the shenanigans President Maheswaran would get up too. It will not disappoint.

Okay but Steven and Connie growing up and getting married so they have to discuss surnames

And Steven is adamant that Connie doesn’t have to change hers, and actually he would kinda really like to be Steven Maheswaran, First Man so it’s no problem honestly.

But Connie’s just like “Are you kidding??” [grabs Steven’s face] “Steven, listen to me. President. Universe.” 

and that is her entire argument. 

In the end they probably kinda. swap surnames.

Homeworld Gems retreating from Earth in a panic after it “became clear there was no hope in stopping the rebellion”

A snippet of the very recognisable Diamond leitmotif playing, as previously heard here and here, as a blue-white-yellow explosion swallows the sky

Along with Peridot’s shocked “But the records say Gems were wiped out on Earth!”, it sure looks more and more likely the war really did end by Earth getting nuked from orbit by some sort of corruption bomb, leaving Rose, Garnet, and Pearl as the sole survivors thanks to Rose’s shield protecting them from the blast:

In the end, your mother could only save a handful of her closest friends. If it weren’t for her shield, man, I don’t know…

and Amethyst presumably being spared by the fact she was still in the ground (as we’ve now seen being in the mirror probably kept Lapis from feeling the effects of it).

I also find it interesting that this episode pretty convincingly takes Rose Quartz off the suspect list for two very popularly theorised-about twists: that she was the one who put Lapis in the mirror, and that she caused the corruption in a last-ditch attempt to drive Homeworld away. Rather, it seems the Rebellion was even more successful than was mostly believed – and it was Homeworld and the Diamonds who were desperate to stop it from spreading, with the complete overkill of both this and the Cluster. It’ll be interesting to see how knowledge of Earth and the Rebellion is treated on Homeworld in the present day, as we’ve already had some pretty intriguing hints.
