A few times in reactions and liveblogs I’ve seen people express confusion about why they’re acting like Steven has a new ability here even though he’s used the Warp Pad by himself before.

He hadn’t up to that point--this is his first time triggering the warp pad.

“But what about ‘House Guest’?” said those people. “That aired as episode 27. Steven was able to go back and forth to check on his dad. He was using the Warp Pad without the Gems.”

He wasn’t using it under his own power yet.

The Warp Whistle doesn’t just function as a signal for Greg to use. This whistle is triggering the Warp Pad and making it possible for those who can’t naturally use Warp Pads--like Greg--to still travel using them.

Steven never activated the Pad by himself in that episode. He only traveled between home and the Geode when Greg blew the Whistle.

As an aside, the Whistle’s existence made me think the Gems must have had human allies at some point--humans they trusted to travel using Warp Pads even though they couldn’t be taught to use them because of not having Gem powers. Otherwise they wouldn’t have developed a tool that can do this.

Neat!
