Pretty much the instant after the mind control had been lifted, Peridot had passed out.
It was likely a sort of disturbing affair to witness; one minute she was awake and snarling, struggling against the bindings that Amethyst and Steven had gotten around the uncooperative gem, and then the next? Bam. Out like a light, slumped over in a heap.
Her physical form was still intact, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her... Odds are, it hadn't taken a doctor to figure out that she just desperately needed to rest. Having someone else in her mind like that for such a prolonged period of time had left her defeated, spent, and the second that connection was severed, she'd basically no choice but to shut down for a while.
Given that she is in no danger otherwise, she's been left to sleep in her trailer and allowed to wake up in her own time. It's probably strange, though, seeing someone who is otherwise typically such a bastion of unstoppable hyperactive energy sleeping for multiple days without waking for even a single moment. During that time, Peridot has kept on snoozing hard, curled up with her head on her arms and her tail dangling off the side of the bed. Like a good dog, Pumpkin joins her from time to time, snuggling up to keep her company.
Sometime in the afternoon on the third straight day of this, she finally stirs, groaning and blinking blearily.
She's still not totally recovered, nor does she feel particularly compelled to get out of bed immediately. The mental exhaustion she's suffering from is still prevalent, not to mention the physical exhaustion from the exposure to so much iron... But she is awake, and alive, and once the word spreads, she will be availible to take visitors in her trailer.
She'll... probably need a lot of stuff explained. The whole incident is mostly a blur.

On day 72, Peridot can also be found exploring the new lake area. She still seems rather uncharacteristically fatigued, but she is at least up and about and around the grounds once more, which is a good step forward.
Honestly, she could probably do with a trip to the hot springs, if you're inclined to pitch the idea to her.
