One thing i couldn't understand about her is that if she really hate Jasper so much then why could she just poof or shatter Jasper in the first place instead of fusing with her. I mean after "Jailbreak" she was literally on the beach with over billion tons of sea water right next to her. This would ultimately defeat Jasper within less than one second. And in case if anyone tells me that she only doing this because she wants to "protect Steven." Hows that suppose to protect Steven? she can't even control Malachite in the later part of the series, at which she could've unfuse Jasper immediately. Besides even without Lapis to "protect Steven" Jasper still could've been easily defeated by the Crystal Gems. The plotline between the relationship of Lapis and Jasper is getting pretty out of no where. I blame the crewuniverse for this one. 

If the Crewuniverse want to create Malachite fusion then I'm totally fine with that. But they could've at least come up a better reason for Lapis to choose to fuse with Jasper. If I were a storyboard artist or a script writer this what I would've wrote. 

When Jasper asked Lapis to fuse with her, she accepted the offer but keep in mind she doesn't do that to protect Steven, she only doing that so she could torture Jasper. Lapis doesn't trust neither the Homeworld nor the Crystal Gems, not even Steven, despite of help her to recover her gem. Lapis intentions was not to poof nor shatter Jasper but to make she will spent the rest of her life as a prisoner in the form of Malachite in order to make Jasper be miserable, at least this is what she thought. Throughout the series what Lapis didn't realize that she began to struggle to keep Jasper from controlling Malachite, slowly losing her grip. Within later part of the series Lapis was becoming so weak not only she couldn't able control this fusion from Jasper, but couldn't even unfuse as well, giving Jasper the chance to control Malachite. Lapis was fusing with Jasper for so long (resulting of a psychological impact) that she even have a hard time to convince herself to unfuse, or maybe some sort of chemical reaction during their fusing period that are the one set these two closer then ever before, (Lapis did say she "miss her (Jasper).")
After Malachite v Alexandrite, what really would've happen is that Lapis should've explain to Steven that she didn't realize to she couldn't able control herself during fusion and didn't want to take part of both Crystal Gems and Homeworld (probably they did something to her). That would leave the Steven and the audience to understand what she been through.  

I honestly don't know what was going on during the abusive relationship between Jasper and Lapis during their time in the homeworld ship, but I want to leave a message for any Crewuniverse reading this that they could've at least show what was going on in that ship. Always set balance between show and tell.
