Peridot's voice in Tape Recorder "Clods!" fast-forwards "Muddy clods!" fast-forwards "- running out of ways to say "clods!"
"Alright, I chased away those cows. Let's get to work." Garnet says, walking up to the group
Peridot clears her throat. "Before we begin... would you mind un-fusing? It's making me incredibly uncomfortable."
Everyone breaks into an uncomfortable silence as Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl look at Garnet while Turquoise looks at Peridot.
"Oh Peridot, you were doing so well..." He says, covering his eye with his hand embarrassed
Garnet then ties Peridot to a fence with a child leash and leaves her be.
"What?! ... what'd I say?!" Peridot cries out
"Do we really have to do that?" Steven asks
"Her having free reign of the place made me incredibly uncomfortable." Garnet answers
"What about Turquoise?" Steven asks, looking at Turquoise, who was coming out the barn with a bunch of parts in hand and walking towards Peridot
"...I trust Turquoise just now, his gem seems to be in the right place," Garnet replies, walking towards the barn.
Peridot then attempts to reach for a nearby microwave, but the leash holds her back, forcing her to struggle to reach it.
"Do you want some help?" Turquoise can be heard saying to Peridot
"...that would be...favourable..." Peridot says, annoyed, still holding the leash before she sits down
Turquoise smiles and picks up the microwave and looks at it for a second and then places it in front of her where she can reach it
"You're welcome," Turquoise says before sitting beside Peridot
"T...thanks," Peridot stammers, blushing as she grabs the microwave to distract herself
Meanwhile, Steven and Amethyst brings a bunch of spare parts to Pearl, who is cutting a turbine with a blowtorch.
"Here you go, Pearl!" Steven says
"Oh, good. Hmm..." Pearl says as she inspects the parts."No... No, no, no, no, I said I needed tungsten. Tungsten?"
"... what does "tungsten" look like?" Steven asked
"Tongue-sten." Amethyst sticks out her tongue "ahh"
"Ugh... Never mind. I'll just do it. " Pearl walks off annoyed
Amethyst shrugs with her tongue still out. "Meh.."
Peridot can be heard grunting while working with the microwave. " I just need some sort of leverage optimizer."
"Do you wish for me to grab it for you?" Turquoise can be heard asking
"No, I can do it myself..." Peridot says back
"Leverage optimizer?" Amethyst asks, walking up to Peridot and Turquoise
"That's what I said." Peridot states
"Ooooh! Ha, you mean you want a screwdriver?" Amethyst laughs
"What a bizarre name for a tool," Turquoise thinks out loud
"Uh.... why don't you just use this one?" Steven picks up a nearby screwdriver on the ground and hands it to Peridot
"Because it was outside her radius." Turquoise states
"He-hey, hey Peridot, TQ, what do you call this?" Amethyst says as she points at her nose
"A scent sponge." Peridot says as Turquoise nods
