Another really great episode. While it's certainly not the funniest, Rick Potion Number 9 really comes through in scope and character moments. Everything with Beth and Jerry in this episode is awesome, I love seeing how quickly they adapt to the apocalyptic scenario. I don't love a lot of the school stuff, but as soon as Rick and Morty get in the ship the episode becomes an absolute banger. Seeing Rick try and fail to cure the Cronenburgs is legitimately hilarious and extremely dark, I love seeing how Rick can actually lose in these earlier seasons. This episode also introduces the show's first bit of continuity in the form of Rick and Morty permanently hopping universes, which made for both a great ending and an interesting concept that the show has actually revisited a few times.
Summer: "God, grandpa, you're such a dick."
Rick: "I'm sorry, Summer, your opinion means very little to me. How come you're not at this stupid dance everyone loves so much?"
Summer: "Screw that. I don't want to get sick. It's flu season."
Rick: "It is?"
Summer: "Yeah."
Rick: "Uh oh."Jerry: "Nobody's killing me until after I catch my wife with another man."
Rick: "There's an infinite number of realities, Morty. And in a few dozen of those, I got lucky and turned everything back to normal. I just had to find one of those realities in which we also happened to both die around this time. Now we can just slip into the place of our dead selves in this reality and everything will be fine."
8/10
The best episode of the season. I was laughing my ass off and the writing here was top notch!
Sometimes science is more art than science, Morty!
Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy show? Good god!
Awesome, that ending...
Didn't saw it coming
Darkest episode yet. O_O I can't even....
