Now that I'm finished at work I can finally formulate some more coherent thoughts about the promo.

Ok so there's 1 important question that I think would change how I interpret the promo. Is the promo made from scenes from just the 2 upcoming episodes, or from the rest of the series? Because that makes a difference.

If it's from the 2 episodes:

There seems to be some sort of dream sequence thing going on with the floating house imagery, and we see Steven in his pajamas in multiple scenes.

And then we have the scene that had audio leaked, confirming that the leak is real.

Now if these are from 2 episodes then I'm thinking that the canoe scene and possibly the picnic scene are also dreams? Mainly because they don't seem to fit in anywhere else, and they occur in isolation without any repeated glances at each scene, unlike most of the other scenes in the promo.

And the hospital scene could either be another dream sequence, or, I'm thinking it might be related to the incident that was referred to in the leaked audio, though it isn't mentioned in the promo itself. I'm thinking the incident might happen (I won't state what it is to avoid spoilers), and even though everyone involved is alright they're taken to the hospital just in case, something sets Steven off while he's there, and that causes him to go pink and maybe he takes off into the woods instead of going home and tries to unpinkify himself or let off some steam?

He comes home the next day after finally turning back to normal, and his absence mixed with what had happened are why the gem's are so worried and agitated, which sets him off again leading to the "leave me alone" scene? Alternatively if the hospital scene is part of the dream issues then the scene with him fighting trees in the forest could come after the leak confrontation with him again trying to unpinkify or letting out some anger at inanimate objects instead of people. But the way he's remembering stuff from the main series finale seems out of place for a dream so I'm on the fence on that one. Plus it's the only scene where he's wearing clothes that aren't made up partially from his usual outfit or his pajamas. Even the picnic scene has his jeans and sandals which look a bit weird with his fancy shirt? That just leaves the ominous scene with him coming in from the rain while hiding his hand (there's the popular corruption theory but it could also be that his hand is now permanently pink or he's injured himself and can't heal for some reason because his powers are going haywire, or maybe he's just hiding something in his pocket honestly who knows??) which could occur later in that same episode or could happen at any time tbh. It could be part of the dream episode but it doesn't really fit that so I'm not sure... He's not wet during the scene that had the audio leaked with the gem's confronting him plus the weather is nice in that scene, so I don't think it's part of that either.

If these aren't from the same 2 upcoming episodes and are instead a bunch of random scenes from all 10 episodes then I have no idea what each scene could be related to. So at the moment I'm going to speculate that they're from 2 episodes for the sake of convenience in theorizing. The scene where he seems to be suffering from a flashback in a hospital is the one that's got me the most worried tbh.

At most my guess is that the picnic scene is a date set up by Steven that gets interrupted or ruined before Connie can get there. (I'll laugh if this is where wormy boy shows up as a random monster ngl sorry it'd just be too funny, though I doubt it)

Another thing that's worth noting is that in most of these scenes Steven is alone, like he seems very isolated with no other characters in frame, and the only time the gem's show up is as a group in 2 scenes, and in both Steven is seemingly trying to get away from them, and Connie only shows up on the phone. That's another reason why so many of the more random scenes strike me as parts of a series of dreams... Idk it's just got a very strange feeling to it.

Anyways, back to freaking out and waiting nervously for the episodes to come out.

Edit: The main reason I think that these are possibly the first 2 episodes is because 1) an episode about dream issues could account for the seemingly random assortment of scenes and all the screaming pretty well. The canoe scene in particular strikes me as like a mundane scene in a dream that gets interrupted with the terror of being pink for no reason hence his horrified reaction, and I could see a dream scene where Steven is nervous about a date with Connie and suddenly shenanigans ruin it, and he's shown waking up without his pajamas being ruined so I'm thinking an escalating series of dreams that get worse as they go and eventually affect him physically? Like maybe they start out more silly like going pink while camping, then a monster attacking mid-date, then his house gets suspended in space and he falls into the void, etc. And 2) nothing related to White Diamond or the worm monster is shown or even seemingly hinted at despite them being quite prominent in the intro, and I don't see how anything from the promo could be related to them without referencing them more directly, or how they could individually be relevant to what's going on with Steven’s mental deterioration. I could however see building stress causing Steven’s powers to go haywire, and when it starts to get dangerous maybe he turns to the diamonds for help figuring out how to control it in later episodes, leading to the pink white diamond, the rumored Spinel episode, and other stuff? Idk. That's all I have at the moment theory-wise, I guess we'll see what happens.
