Last Thursday, fans of "Steven Universe" finally saw the return of the fourth season of Cartoon Network's quirky and progressive children's animated series with its eight episode, a half-hour special titled "Gem Harvest." However, while many celebrate the series' return, it seems like fans may have to wait a few weeks more before they get a follow-up to the season 4 special.

According to a report by iTech Post, while Cartoon Network may have aired "Gem Harvest" last Thursday, Nov. 17, the series will be going on another short hiatus before it airs the next episode of its fourth season, "Three Gems and a Baby." Though Cartoon Network and series creator Rebecca Sugar have both given a few tidbits about the upcoming episode, there still isn't any word on the rest of the episodes of "Steven Universe" season 4. In an unofficial "Steven Universe" season 4 episode guide by Next-Episode, the episode list stops immediately after "Three Gems and a Baby" which has been slated for a Dec. 1 release.

Most of the time, the series openly shares the titles of its incoming episodes, and now with zero episode titles listed after "Three Games and a Baby," it seems like some fans have begun to worry about the future of the new season. Will "Steven Universe" season 4 end with episode 10?

Meanwhile, in other "Steven Universe" news, it seems like the upcoming episode is all going to be about Steven's past with the Gems as his father Greg recounts the first winter he had with his half-gem, half-human baby.

A short description on Zap2it's TV listing reads, "Greg tells Steven about their first winter together."

It looks like fans are going to get another throwback into the past of Steven and the Gems, and hopefully there might be a few Gem history tidbits revealed in the episode as well.
