The man attempts to encourage Greg, who recognizes him as well, to chase off 'these freeloaders' who are using some 'hippie mind tricks.' Greg explains that he let them into the barn which outrages the man further. Lapis puts the man down, who recognizes Greg. Greg, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst receive Steven, Lapis, and Peridot's message and arrive shortly after. During it, it is found out the man wants them out of ' barn.' Steven reasons the attack to a non-hostile level. Lapis uses her hydrokinesis and Peridot uses her attack drones to attack the man. Peridot and Lapis confront the man, who analyzes the strange constructions and the appearances of the Gems and concludes them to be hippies who contaminated the barn. The pilot is distraught to see the farm in its current state. A plane lands on the grounds of the barn, and Steven, Lapis, and Peridot check it out.

Steven begins to carve a pumpkin, putting the sentient pumpkin into a state of distress, eventually making it run to Lapis and Peridot to be cared for by them. Steven gets the idea to create a jack-o-lantern to address their concerns. Steven eventually comes clean and leads to a depressive episode. Steven attempts to make excuses as Lapis and Peridot grow more suspicious of the behavior. The pumpkin, however, is bound to Steven as he is the true creator. The next day, Peridot shows Steven the sentient pumpkin that grew overnight and believes it is her and Lapis' creation. Steven gets the idea to create a living vegetable for Lapis and Peridot. They both walk off to disassemble the tractor. Peridot misses the 'pitter-patter of full-sized Gem soldiers' while Lapis mentions the silence in the area without company. Steven tells them that is not how vegetables work, leading to their disappointment. She believes the vegetables will grow into sentient beings after some time. Peridot explains that she has all of the skills required for growing Gems, so she decided to use those skills to grow something else. Steven expresses his amazement and asks why they started farming stuff. Peridot comes in on a tractor, asking what Steven thinks of their 'experiment'. Lapis apologizes for spraying him accidentally and is glad Steven could make it. After walking further into the farmland, the two hoses watering the crops burst, startling Steven and getting Lapis and Peridot to notice him. Steven then notices a field of corn and walks through it to soon be presented with some established farmland.

Earning no response, Steven tries to pull the rope attached to the alien mask with antlers, which falls apart after being tugged. Steven knocks on the barn door and waits to be greeted by Lapis and Peridot to begin the sleepover. Steven's autumn visit to the barn brings a new stranger into his life.
