Maximum Capacity is really one of my all time favorites. It has more subtle messages than most episodes, but that's what makes it so rare. It has all the usual hallmarks of a great SU episode, and also has a complex and unexplained confrontation at the end that foreshadows a lot of the later revealed emotional traumas disclosed by the gems.
The episode's pinnacle is the fight between Amethyst and Greg. Not only does is flesh out some of the unresolved trauma they both have regarding Rose, it is heavily implied that Amethyst had shape-shifted into Rose before to help Greg with his grief. How and why remains a mystery.
That said, there are plenty of other episodes I would also rate a 10. It's just a fantastic show!
Fantastic!
