May We Never Meet Again Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty notice themselves in a truly Alien universe.
Video screenshot by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper/CNETRick and Morty delivered a much more straightforward story this week than last. While the May 3 episode of the Adult Swim animated comedy, Never Ricking Morty, got all meta and crazy and fourth-wall-breaking, Sunday's show, Promortyus, managed to go along the crazy within more traditional premises.
The story had a showtime, an ending, a somewhat traditional Rick-and-Morty hazard, an A+ Summertime plot and even a weird simply entertaining Jerry mini-plot that might render somewhere downward the road.
Warning: Spoilers alee for the Promortyus episode of Rick and Morty.

Have fun. I hope y'all similar it. Glorzo is peace. flick.twitter.com/hjPu7H00oo
If y'all melody in even a minute late to this episode, yous might think you somehow missed a huge chunk of plot, because the story starts in the middle, goes forrard, and so backtracks and shows what'south really going on. Information technology's that how-did-we-get-here twist of Memento or The Hangover or fifty-fifty, well, Denizen Kane. And the latter works -- Summertime is Rosebud.
From the title, Promortyus, we know this is some kind of takeoff on the Alien film universe, and indeed, Rick and Morty begin the episode on a planet called Glorzo with the iconic Alien face-huggers already hanging off their heads. (We also perhaps learn a little besides much about Morty's honey for Pornhub.)
Rick and Morty manage to escape, of grade, but not without wrecking the universe they're leaving behind. But not in a personally tragic death way, more in a Star Wars no-tears decease way, they signal out, and then at that place's no guilt as Morty shoots up everything in sight.
They're fifty-fifty enjoying the violence and mayhem -- "It's like popping bubble wrap," Rick crows -- and just then, they see two towers meant to stand in for the World Trade Center towers. Gulp. Rick and Morty tin't bring themselves to destroy the buildings -- but have no problem re-creating the assail on Pearl Harbor in the next second. Hey, 2001 is a lot more recent than 1941. And suddenly, Rick and Morty are back having pancakes with Beth and Jerry, and Beth is wondering why either of these iconic attacks were even options.
And here comes the mini-plot: Jerry's now a beekeeper! He'southward keeping bees! And producing his own honey! And that'due south about all we acquire almost that until the mid-credits scene, so don't requite it a lot of thought, because has anyone noticed that Summer is missing?
Welp, put downwardly the pancakes, boys, it's time to don some anime robot suits and detect out where Summertime's been this whole time. And information technology'south a highly entertaining answer, so without a lot of spoilers, permit's but say that Summer is definitely Rick's granddaughter, and that chewing on toothpicks isn't, apparently, equally bad a habit as your mom might have claimed information technology was back in the day.
It turns out alien face up-huggers can take thwarted romances of their own (which leads to a cringey but thankfully brief incesty plotline when Rick and Morty's confront-huggers can't continue their lips off each other). And suddenly the story comes dorsum around again, and Summer's got a Br'er Rabbit "don't throw me in the briar patch!" solution to save her blood brother and grandpa's lives. And at present the boys are dorsum watching some interdimensional cable -- or did something hitch a ride dwelling house with them?
I've got a feeling that those who didn't like concluding week's episode, Never Ricking Morty, because of its meta-plots and insidery-feeling jokes may like Promortyus a lot amend. I liked both, but Promortyus is probably going to be easier to rewatch -- it'south simply equally fast-moving and funny as any Rick and Morty episode, only it pulls off a satisfying and self-contained adventure to kick.
Rick and Morty mixed with the iconic Alien universe was virtually certainly going to be a hit no thing what. Embellishing that earth and so that the Aliens not only have their own romances and feuds, merely have an G&Ms store, fabricated this episode as sweet as a bear-shaped jar of Jerry's own honey. Game over, man. Game over. I'll likely picket this 1 a few more than times before the May 17 new show, The Vat of Acid Episode. With a vague title like that, no idea what it tin can possibly be about.

4) "Why do you lot call up we never become back to a identify we've already been? Do y'all know how many adventures nosotros could get out of Purge Planet, Morty? Gear Earth? I don't sequel. Information technology'southward called integrity." -- Rick has a problem with reruns, evidently.
5) "Tin can I get a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation whip?" "OK, merely there'south no way you don't chop your dick off." -- Morty has big weaponry dreams, simply Rick knows his grandson simply likewise well.
6) "You lot're in a greatcoat, Summer, how bad can information technology exist? No bad story ends in a cape!" -- Well, Rick kind of has a point here, to be honest.
7) "Everyone pretend podcasting isn't tedious." -- Rick, subsequently it'due south revealed that Summertime is hooked on a Serial-like alien-universe podcast.
