Steven Universe

I know you're eager to chase the mail truck, Dogcopter...

...but the mail truck is a decoy.

Good boys chase the blue car.

Be a good boy, Dogcopter.

Nice work, D.C.

Now, get the bomb off the bridge.

We're almost out of time.

Dogcopter, no!

Dogcopter, I can't lose you.

Is this... what I think it is?

Everyone's getting married but me.

Ugh, I feel like poop.

I wish the Gems weren't doing a field trip this week.

I wonder if they have any reception.

Guess not.

Hey, Steven.

Hey, Dad. How's it going?

The tour's been going great. What's going on with you?

You throw any big parties while you got the house to yourself?

Yeah you know me.

But I-I'm really glad you're getting home tonight.

I really need to talk to someone about what happened

between me and Connie.

Sorry, Steven, uh, what was that?

Sadie and Shep have been working on a new routine.

You'll never believe what they throw into the audience.

Hey, guess what?

The tour's been extended.

Wow, that's -- th-that's great.

Yeah, you know, you were so right

about this whole manager thing, Steven.

I love it. I can't believe I'm touring again.

Oh, we're about to head into another tunnel,

you want to call me back with whatever you wanted

to talk about?

I-It wasn't important.

You sure?

We can stop by on our way through Delmarva.

No, it's okay.

Just, uh, have fun.

I-I shouldn't worry her.

I-I'll let it go to voicemail.

Huh?

Steven, are you there?

Hey, Connie. What's up?

Steven. - I've been worried about you.

Are -- are you glowing?

Oh, a-a-am I?

What's happening to your face?

Why? W-What's wrong with my face?

Uhhhhh...

Oh, right, the swelling...

My body just keeps randomly growing,

but -- but it doesn't hurt or anything.

It's fine.

How long has it been happening?

Since...this morning.

What do the Gems think?

I can't reach them.

They're doing a school field trip out in the wilderness.

It's nothing to worry about, anyway.

You really don't look well.

Maybe you should see a doctor.

My mom could see you at the hospital.

I wouldn't want to waste her time.

Steven, you need to see a medical professional.

Right, okay.

You're lucky I had a cancellation today.

Normally, I'm booked up weeks in advance.

Think you'll be able to help him?

Even if this is some sort of Gem issue?

Gem issue or not, you have a human body,

which means we can run tests.

At the very least, we can determine if you're suffering

from a non-Gem condition.

See? I'll go wait outside.

I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Let's start with your symptoms.

Hmm. Mild fever.

Glowing pink color to skin.

Hmm.

Blood pressure is high.

Well, these readings are certainly interesting.

If you don't mind me asking, who's your G.P.?

You know, - your general practitioner,

your regular doctor?

I guess you?

I've never been to the doctor before.

You're 16 years old, and you've never been to the doctor?

I-It's okay, it's okay.

I'll have a talk with your father later.

We'll just need to run some more tests.

Get undressed, and let's get you into a hospital gown.

Is that one of those blue things that doesn't cover your butt?

Yes. Now, let's get started.

So, this is a typical human skeleton.

Now, a couple of months ago,

Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl allowed me

to x-ray them for research purposes.

Their charts look like this.

Only their gems appear on a radiograph.

And this... is your chart.

Definitely a human skeleton.

There's a clear history of numerous fractures,

like here on the skull.

Everything is perfectly aligned.

It almost looks as if the bones healed themselves

the instant the injuries occurred.

That's good, right?

Well, you seem to have made

a series - of miraculous recoveries,

but that doesn't change the fact that you experienced trauma.

You've recovered physically, but...

have you recovered mentally?

You think there's something wrong with my brain?

Not "wrong."

It's that adverse childhood experiences,

or childhood trauma, can have a lasting impact

on how your body responds to stress.

This can affect your social, emotional,

and physical development.
