This infuriates the President, even though he’s getting all the credit for it.īack at home, Beth calls Rick and asks if she’s the replacement Beth. Rick and Morty also went ahead and negotiated a permanent cease-fire between Israel and Palestine. He meets the Presidentress of the ironically named Mega-Gargantuans, who tells him that Rick and Morty already visited and negotiated a cease-fire (and found ways to insult the President by proxy). The President shrinks down to a tiny size to try to reason with the new alien species. He tries to dismiss them, but Rick and Morty give him a verbal dressing-down, and they get arrested, then expatriated. Unfortunately, they’re beaten there by the Brazilian army. Rick and Morty decide to go make first contact. In Brazil, a team of men in hazmat suits come across a tiny, nuclear-capable species.
Of course, the reality is that she is (probably) a clone of Beth, while the real Beth is off fulfilling her genius potential. Summer asks when she “got rad,” and Beth says that she’s just adjusted to the divorce. Meanwhile, Beth and Summer are out shopping, and Beth readily agrees to let Summer buy a revealing outfit. They hang up, and then the President decides that they don’t need Rick and Morty to save the world anymore. He says they’re lucky that they haven’t been arrested, and they remind him that if someone ever tried to arrest them, it wouldn’t go well. The President isn’t thrilled that they’ve insulted him or that they’d rather play Minecraft than help save America, and he rings them up to call them out. But this doesn’t actually prove to be an exciting adventure: Rick and Morty have done this kind of thing too often, and they’re bored of being “treated like Ghostbusters.” They leave, unaware (or perhaps aware, I’ve gotta imagine Rick knows) that they’re being surveilled by the government once they’re back at home.
An alien has infested the Kennedy Sex Tunnels beneath the White House, and it’s up to Rick and Morty to stop it. But in order for “The Rickchurian Mortydate” to make any kind of sense, we must assume that the show takes place in a universe in which we still have a president instead of a petulant, narcissistic child with Oval Office access.
RICK MORTY SEASON 2 EPISODE 3 SUMMARY TV
A lot has changed in the past year, so watching an episode of a TV show that deals with the office of the president feels … anachronistic? At best? It’s not Rick and Morty’s fault, of course. While computer-animated shows like South Park can jump on something topical in a week, every episode of Rick and Morty was written many months ago, if not even longer. Traditional animation takes a really long time.
