[Theory] Did Bismuth Know Something Rose Didn't Want Her to Know?

Here is another theory to think about:

Quote :

Bismuth was bubbled and stored in Lion, a creature not even Pearl knew about. So it would be easy to assume none of the CGs know Bismuth is still intact. Why?

Bismuth is not corrupted. If she were, she would still be stored with the other bubbled gems
Bismuth was not separated to keep her safe. I played with the idea that perhaps Bismuth was separated and kept in Lion to keep her safe from the Diamonds and live on as a kind of living time capsule to pass along the story of the Crystal Gems should the remaining team be wiped out. BUT if that was the case, why would Rose leave her in Lion for 5000 years? The danger had passed long ago. And we know Rose has had recent contact with lion as seen with all the Greg-era memorabilia stored there.  

Even if Bismuth WAS kept as a “time capsule,” why keep the plan from the other gems? In the promo, Garnet and Pearl seem very surprised and pleased to see Bismuth. They act very intimate and kindly towards her. This was a close friend. Perhaps because they were close friends, this is why Bismuth was bubbled and hidden instead of destroyed after learning sensitive information.

It is possible the Bismuth is somehow dangerous, but it seems unlikely that that is the case because in the promo she seems very kind and even sensitive (when not in battle, of course). And that still doesn’t quite explain why she was separated and hidden.

Has Rose hidden other gems? I have a theory on this as well, but it is rather thin as it relies solely on two lines spoken by Garnet in “Keeping It Together:”

While struggling to not separate, Ruby and Sapphire’s different personalities bubble to the surface and it is apparent the two are having a conversation within Garnet :

[Ruby]: This is where they’ve been. All the ones we couldn’t find. They’ve been here the whole time
[Sapphire]: Rose couldn’t have known…!

waitwaitwait what? Rose couldn’t have known? When did we start talking about Rose?
This implies several things.

Ruby appears to have some distrust of Rose. She doesn’t mention Rose directly, and yet, Sapphire still jumps to the conclusion that Ruby is implying Rose has something to do with all the shards they couldn’t find. Or perhaps Rose, as the leader, made some controversial decision about continuing the search for more shards.

It is known/suspected, by Garnet at least, that Rose is keeping information about missing gems. If Rose has been directly found out, found suspicious of hiding gems before, or stopped the search under suspicious circumstances, it would only be natural for Ruby to jump to the conclusion of Rose’s involvement with the forced fusions. I don’t think Rose was involved with the mini clusters but it seems to be that she has in fact hidden gems before and Bismuth is one of the ones the other Crystal Gems could not find.

This last half is a bit of a stretch but those two lines from Garnet have always struck me as important.

What do you think of this?

The only question I would have for this is why would Rose want to hide Gems? Like what would be her purpose behind hiding Gems after the war, especially if they were commerades? I could see trying to hide or get rid of the enemy gems left behind from the war but why would she do that to her friends? :(

This is a very interesting theory though! I just can't think of a reason for Rose to do it :/

But it's clear she did though because Bismuth was in Lion's mane. Only time will tell as to why...IF we get an explaination.

An idea I have is that Bismuth got poofed and she was put into Lion for safe keeping.
