Right and I think Garnet intentionally fused with Amethyst in order to real hit Pearl close to home and emotionally devastate her in the worst way she knew how to at the moment. Back in Coach Steven, Pearl was adamently against Garnet and Amethyst fusing together mostly out of genuine concern Sugilite is a one Gem wrecking ball that not even Garnet and Amethyst are capable of reigning in and controlling and eventually had their individuality destroyed by but also by jealousy that she just wasn't good enough to fuse with Garnet and Garnet didn't trust her enough in order to fuse with her. When Garnet finally trusted her enough to fuse with her on multiple occasions and Pearl ironically broke that same trust Pearl fought so hard to build up since Pearl believed she still wasn't good enough for the fusion, Garnet was devasated, at a loss, wracked with a lot of pain, and she wanted to hurt Pearl just as much as Pearl hurt her and fusing with Amethyst as Sugilite, the fusion Pearl was afraid of in the first place, the fusion Pearl never wanted to happen since Sugilite is so unstable and volatile was Garnet's way of saying, yes, you just weren't good enough to be able to fuse with me, you betrayed me to fuse with me, you violated my trust, so I will fuse back into the same fusion you never wanted to see in the first place, I don't need you.
Because if you think about it, Garnet really could've chose to dismantle the tower on her own, even if it took her the whole night, if she was angry enough, and she was more than capable of taking the tower down on her own, but she wanted to get rid of it one fell swoop, rid herself of Pearl's deception once and for all, wash away all the good times they had sharing together as a fusion, and use Amethyst to dig into Pearl that she wasn't needed or wanted anymore with this mission. And to Amethyst's credit, she could see how devastated Garnet was at Pearl's betrayal and didn't want to fuse with her since she knew Garnet wasn't in the right state of mind to use another intimate fusion, she wanted Garnet to accept her as a good enough partner for fusion again but this was never the way she ever wanted to do it, she wanted Garnet to know about Pearl's deception because Garnet deserved to know. but she understood just why Pearl did it and she didn't want Pearl to vilified like this, Amethyst didn't want to fuse with Garnet again like this, out of spite, out of pure vengeance against Pearl, she wanted their fusion to be as intimate as it always was, and she never wanted to use this intimate fusion to take revenge on someone she loved and cared about just to rub it in their face, but since Garnet was so angry and unhinged at the moment, Amethyst probably knew better than to argue about it and they really did need to dismantle the tower once and for all.
And I think Amethyst's hesitance and Garnet's hatred against Pearl at the moment was the main reason Sugilite agreed to be defused a lot easier than she managed to in Coach Steven. Amethyst was calm and more controlled at the moment to where she wasn't looking to stay fused with Garnet for too long and just so they could finish the job they started and to Garnet, she said herself "let's just get this over with," so she wasn't looking to fuse for too long either and this narrow goal kept Sugilite enough in line to get the job done and let Garnet and Amethyst unfuse her again while Garnet got what she wanted, she wanted to hurt Pearl, to devastate her, and that the way the easiest and biggest way she ever could've done it.

I never cease to be amazed by just how good this show feels.
Love the little hints this one gave at the deeper lore, too.
"They had never seen a fusion of two different gem types!" is just one sentence that explains so much.
I just watched it again and the whole episode just makes me so giggly. And it's so well crafted, too. Not just in the next-level animation but the story hits all the beats of a fairy tale so well. Which is interesting because the fight scene is 100% anime and the language is gem rules ("destroy the physical form of" and "she was going to break you"), but it's all fit into the framework of an evil queen, a prophecy, a brave peasant saving a beautiful princess--the cadence is absolutely a mother telling her child a bedtime story (or "waking you up in the middle of the night" story, I guess).

Peridot whyyyy
I like that Steven at least made an attempt at defusing the situation. Little details like that show a lot about his character.

So I guess the question is...is their Earth different from our Earth just because, or did the Homeworld Gems make it that way?

See, because in real life, Russia has a bunch of horrible anti-gay laws, but now the gayest show on Earth is showing Siberia with a big bite out of it.
i have not seen any of the new epsiodes but apparently Garnet revealed her past as a pastel grunge blogger, Yellow Diamond is Satsuki Kiryuin, and Blue Diamond (who looks kinda dark souls npc but from a 90s trance music video) had an adviser that looked decidedly like Lapis

^ There's also the "no villains" rule Rebecca Sugar said SU had when the show was starting, which I still believe they're going to stick by.
