However in "A Single Pale Rose", Rose Quartz was actually revealed to be Pink Diamond and it's also revealed that her shattering was fake the entire time in order to stop Earth's colonization one final time after Blue and Yellow Diamond would not let her abandon the colony.
As stated by Steven in "Now We're Only Falling Apart", Pink Diamond reformed permanently as Rose Quartz after she was poofed during her fake shattering making Rose her true "default" form.
History. "Shy" Rose Quartz was one of the Rose Quartzes created by Pink Diamond during her colonization of Earth. Eventually, she and every other Rose Quartz were bubbled simply for their Gem type.
She killed Pink Diamond in her palanquin and then accused Rose Quartz. It was both a way of escaping death and a "gift" offer to Rose. It could also be a manner to rise with Rose as the powerful renegade who killed a Diamond, and attract some other Gems in the rebellion.
The episode focuses on Steven Universe confronting Pearl with questions about the supposed assassination of Pink Diamond millennia ago, and builds to a major plot twist for the series: the revelation that Steven's mother Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond herself, who faked her death with Pearl's assistance.

Why can't Rose and Steven both exist?
She knew how to bring the best out of people, and everyone she met was impacted by her presence. As a gem, Rose Quartz couldn't have a child with her human partner in a traditional sense and ultimately had to give up her physical form for Steven to be born.
The crewniverse have said that Rose shapeshifted a womb for Steven. Nothing more, nothing less. Any other explanation on how Steven was created is up to your discretion and imagination.
Pearl (or Pink Pearl as she is referred to by the Crewniverse) is a Homeworld Gem who was Pink Diamond's original Pearl before being taken from her and placed under the ownership of White Diamond, who used her powers to take control of Pink Pearl remotely, rendering her devoid of color (referred to as White Pearl ...
Although Rose encouraged Pearl's independence, Pearl never lost her devotion to Rose, which included romantic attraction, even after Rose "gave up her physical form" to allow Steven to be born.
He is the first and only known Gem–human hybrid, the product of the union between the Crystal Gems' original leader, Rose Quartz, and Greg Universe, a human musician and car-wash owner. Rose "gave up her physical form" to create Steven, leaving behind only her pink, pentagonal-faceted gem, now embedded in his navel.
Pink diamond/Rose Quartz didn't reform because she is dead. There are various points across the series, but especially this episode that makes it clear this is the case. The biggest answer lies when stevens gem reformed. Instead of reforming into Pink Diamond/rose quartz, it formed into steven.
How did Rose Quartz shatter Pink Diamond if she is Pink Diamond?
However in "A Single Pale Rose", Rose Quartz was actually revealed to be Pink Diamond and it's also revealed that her shattering was fake the entire time in order to stop Earth's colonization one final time after Blue and Yellow Diamond would not let her abandon the colony.
Are the twins actual twins? Yes, they were both conceived by Greg and Rose without Pearl's involvement. Rose was pregnant with them both. Pearl giving Nora her Gem is more like a human giving another human a kidney.
Steven's gem glows when he's comfortable and surrounded by his family's love, just like in the first episode. Amethyst shapeshifts into a baby, something she does again in "So Many Birthdays".
It was revealed in "A Single Pale Rose" that "Rose Quartz" was a persona Pink Diamond created and asked Pearl to help to frame her own assassination and make "Rose Quartz" a culprit. Pink Diamond's last order as Pearl's diamond was to never tell this to anyone.
No, going back to when Greg is telling Steven and Connie of the time he tried to fuse with Rose, Rose says she has loved other humans, but never fallen in love with one. This can have sexual connotations, and and from it, one could reasonably believe that Rose has had sexual relations with other humans.
Steven is Rose's son, whom she gave up her physical form for. While she never got to meet her son, Rose cherished Steven even before his birth, showing nothing but pride and happiness for the kind of person he would become, and trusted him to carry on her mission of protecting the Earth after her passing.
Her “shattering” was staged by her using fake shards and Pearl (who shapeshifted into Rose, and was in fact Pink's Pearl) poofing her with Rose's sword.
Steven himself is considered a kind of fusion since he was created by his gem mother, Rose Quartz and his father Greg Universe. Like any human child, existing as half of each of his parents Steven physically embodies half of Greg while also carrying his mother's gem.
What was Rose going to name Steven if he was a girl?
Trivia. This episode reveals that Greg and Rose had planned to name Steven "Nora" if he was born a girl. This is connected to Rebecca Sugar's own life, as her parents almost named her Nora.
