After airing "Gem Harvest," the next episode of "Steven Universe" season 4 seems to be way off as it will reportedly be released next month. With that said, some avid viewers have begun to speculate that the animated series will be ending soon since no information has been given about future episodes.

Episode 10 dubbed as "Three Gems and a Baby" is seemingly inspired by the film "Three Men and a Baby" that was released in the late '80s. It is said that it will be a flashback episode showcasing a younger Greg and a baby Steven. The episode is believed to feature how Greg raised Steven after Rose Quartz's demise as well as how the Gems came into their lives.

Rumors are getting rife that the upcoming episode will be the series' last, though the network is still on mum about "Steven Universe's" fate.

Meanwhile, episode 8 of "Steven Universe" dubbed "Gem Harvest" recently graced the small screen as kids and kids at heart checked to see if earlier talks about the said episode came to fruition.

Contrary to rumors, the episode featured Steven visiting his Gem friends Peridot and Lapis at a corn farm. Furthermore, the crew was surprised by someone visiting Steven's dad.

Upon his arrival, Steven and the Gems wondered who the man was. Greg, later on, introduced him as his cousin and at the same time Steven's uncle, Andy.

Andy, on the other hand, was quite surprised to learn that Steven was his cousin's son. That being said, the visitor then came to ponder who among the Gems was his cousin's other half. Greg explained to Andy that his wife's name is Rose Quartz and said that she's no longer with them.

The episode also featured an argument between the cousins when Andy found out that Greg somewhat gave away the farm to his Gem friends. The scuffle of words escalated to a point where Andy asked the Gems to leave the premises as he believed that they were illegally staying in their farm.

Apart from this, the episode also featured a scene where the Gems were harvesting pumpkins when they came across a pumpkin with dog-like attributes. The pumpkin dog immediately took a liking to the kid protagonist.

Meanwhile, previous rumors about the show having a new character were indeed true in the persona of Andy. He is believed to be a mainstay in the animated series moving forward.
