In Reformed, the fifth episode of season three of Steven Universe, the Crystal Gems attempt to reform Amethyst after noticing that her body has become unstable due to the erratic use of her powers. Steven, Pearl, and Garnet take turns trying to help her reform, but their efforts seem futile until an unexpected incident occurs, leaving Amethyst with a new form and a newfound confidence in herself.
In the second half of the episode, Chille Tid, Steven experiences a vivid dream where he communicates with Lapis Lazuli and catches a glimpse of Jasper's true form. Despite Garnet's warnings to stay asleep, Steven continues to explore the dream world and ends up encountering a terrifying creature that threatens to keep him trapped in his dreams forever.
Both episodes deal with issues of identity, self-acceptance, and the fear of the unknown. Through Amethyst's transformation and Steven's dream world, the show explores how characters overcome their own doubts and insecurities, and how they learn to trust and rely on each other in times of need. As always, Steven Universe manages to balance its quirky, whimsical tone with deeper, more thought-provoking themes, making for a satisfying and emotionally resonant viewing experience.
