Ghoulish overkill3/6/2023 Morty explains that that’s not true, he was just trying to save Summer from being disappointed by Rick.Ĭ-137 Rick teleports the entire Citadel of Ricks into a galactic federal prison. Summer and Morty are put on trial, and Summer tries to save Morty by saying that he’s already renounced Rick. C-137 Rick, hiding as D-99 Rick, transfers his brain into the Rick Chief Commander (it’s like that watch-the-ball-under-the-cups game, this). Summer and Morty are brought to the Citadel of Ricks. (This show … I can tell this show is going to be difficult to recap. Before Rick-in-the-alien-captor-body can be killed, he transfers his brain into one of the invading Ricks, a mohawked number from D-99. ![]() He’s about to escape when the army of other Ricks enters, shooting Old Rick’s now useless body in the head. Rick steals the brain of his captor and reveals a long con to gain access to the kind of sensitive information that could allow him to collapse the universe. ![]() That wasn’t Rick’s origin story at all - in fact, Rick and his captor never left the Shoney’s in his mind. ![]() It was a virus, allowing Rick to escape the simulation. In a panic, he re-constructs the portal gun while the captor aliens quickly download the portal gun code.Įxcept it wasn’t the portal gun code. The Younger Rick of Rick’s mind watches as Diane and young Beth are disintegrated by a bomb that falls out of a portal. A bunch of Ricks enter through a portal gun and save Summer and Morty, and they promise to break into the prison where C-137 Rick is being held - in order to assassinate him. Cronenberg’d Earth Jerry smashes the portal gun, much to Morty’s horror. On the Cronenberg’d Earth, Morty tells Summer that this is the part of Rick’s adventures she doesn’t get to see - what he leaves behind. Rick tells her that he’s giving up science. A woman, Diane - Younger Rick’s wife and Beth’s mom - enters the garage. The Younger Rick in Rick’s mind turns down the portal gun, and the Older Rick disappears, promising Younger Rick that he’ll change his mind. Before Conroy can kill them, Morty opens a portal to the old Earth - the Cronenberg’d Earth - where the Smith family are the last remaining survivors. Before either she or Morty can use it, they are attacked by the family’s new Federation robot, Conroy. On Earth, Summer finds that same portal gun buried along with Rick’s bones. Rick drives his alien captor back to “the day it all began.” A younger version of Rick is handed a portal gun by a version of Rick from far in the future. It’s hurtful, then, when Morty tries to talk sense into her by telling his sister that Rick doesn’t care about anybody, “not even himself.” He then says, “The only grandpa who won’t let you down is buried in the backyard,” and Summer gets an idea. Over the past season, Morty has become resentful of Rick and all that he’s been forced to go through, while Summer has come into her own as Rick’s rightful sidekick. Summer is starting to break a little, too, and has been desperately trying to contact Rick. “Don’t make the same mistakes I made,” says Beth. Only Summer, it seems, is truly concerned about where Rick has gone. With Morty even jumpier than usual and Beth washing the pills down with full bottles of wine, it’s Summer who finds herself the moral backbone of the Smith family. ![]() He’s happily making his way up through the ranks, being compensated in piles and piles of pills. But the prison is starting to grow unstable, especially as the aliens push Rick toward a psychotic break, with memories of a woman he lost on the day he invented interdimensional travel.īack on Earth, Jerry is loving the planetary takeover by the Galactic Federation. Rick is in a prison of his own mind, trapped there by a Krombopulos Michael–esque alien creature played by Nathan Fillion, who is trying to figure out how Rick created his portal gun. I’ll admit, I was a little disappointed that the show hadn’t actually chosen to ignore its season-two finale, but I am sure there are plenty of fun “F- yous” to the audience yet to come. It becomes pretty clear the opening scene at family-friendly restaurant Shoney’s is some kind of fever-dream simulation around the time Rick asks Jerry to fold himself in half 12 times, and he successfully makes it halfway. It is hard to know much about what’s really in store for us in season three, but if the Rick of the end of this episode is to be believed, things are about to get dark. In that time, we’ve already gone through articles about which fan theories it does or does not confirm, wild speculation about when the season will start in earnest, and even a theory that “The Rickshank Redemption” wasn’t a canonical episode of the show. It’s been a few days, and therefore roughly 14 years in 2017 internet time, since Rick and Morty’s unexpected season-three premiere.
