In "Bismuth Casual", Connie helps Steven how to skate by fusing into Stevonnie. After they unfuse and picked a song for Bismuth and Pearl, she and Steven both blush at each other and share a laugh.

In "Together Forever", Steven realizes that he wants Connie to be his future and is encouraged by Ruby and Sapphire to propose to her and become their fusion Stevonnie permanently. After preparing a picnic, buying a cake, and making a ring out of a glowstick, he gets Connie from her house during a study break and sings to her romantically about wanting to be with her. Connie is blushing and happily flustered during his song, but becomes concerned when he proposes marriage to her. She softly lets him down, telling him that they are too young and she wants to be her own person. Instead of saying "no" to his proposal, she tells him it is a "not now", implying that she will say yes to marriage in the future in when they are older and ready. Steven asks her why they should wait if they know they're going to be together forever and Connie reassures him that they have plenty of time and there's no need to rush. Despite her soft rejection and assuring that she wants to be with him someday but not right now, Steven is completely crushed.

In "Growing Pains", it's the next day and Steven is still devastated over the failed proposal. He begins to flare up in size when reminded of the proposal and it greatly upsets him. When Connie calls him, concerned over the night before, she insists that he see her mother Dr. Priyanka Maheswaran at the hospital after witnessing his body swell up at random intervals. After getting him to the hospital she leaves the room and calls Steven's dad Greg, worried about him. After Priyanka diagnoses him with potential PTSD and tries to explain why it's flaring up now, she asks if he has had any stressful experiences lately and automatically thinks of the failed proposal, swelling up to an enormous size. Connie rushes back in and her mother explains that he panicked after her question of if he had any stressful experiences lately and realizes that he must be devastated over the proposal and assumes that she doesn't want to be with him at all and not later. She expresses worry for him until he screams at her that he can't be around her right now. Greg arrives shortly after to calm Steven down and tells him that Connie called him out of worry. As Connie walks out with her mother, Steven thanks her for calling his dad and she responds by saying that she'll be there when he's ready.

In "The Future", as Steven says goodbye to everyone as he gets ready to leave Beach City, he and Connie kiss and already have plans to meet up again soon.
