Steven Universe, Season 2

Connie:
Mom... I'm really sorry about lying to you. It started off as a tiny secret, and then I felt like if I didn't hide it, you wouldn't let me see Steven ever again.

Dr. Maheswaran:
Is that how you feel? Are we too controlling?

Connie:
..Maybe.

Dr. Maheswaran:
I just wanted to be a good mother. I... I just wanted to protect you.

Connie:
I can protect myself now! [Dr. Maheswaran pauses for a long beat, sighs]

Dr. Maheswaran:
Okay. [Connie winces] We'll... pull back on the rules, and I'll try to keep an open mind about [Connie's lenses] this, and [Lion] that, and... him. [Steven stays frightened] It scares me that you can't talk to me. I need to know what's happening in your life. I... I need to step in when you're in over your head. Would you just promise me you'll stop all this lying?

Connie:
[beat] That's a rule. [they embrace each other]

Dr. Maheswaran:
I love you, honey.

Connie:
I love you too, Mom.
