This is the kind of thing Rick does when he hits rock bottom, and the fact he bothers to pull the lever and gift them the sweet release of death surely shows some emotional growth.īack in the normal universe, the two Beths are fighting over their defining life choice, competing for Summer’s affection. Rick even cursed the inhabitants of his suburb to live the same day eternally, aging into confused, tortured souls. Meanwhile, Rick is stuck in his old dimension, with nothing left but the ghost of his dead wife, an AI that Rick specifically designed to endlessly haunt himself - a very “Rick” thing to do. When Morty came back to visit his old family, it was only to prove a point to Summer - it was the beginning of Morty’s understanding that infinite realities means infinite families. Cronenberg Jerry says, dryly, “am I cool enough for you?” It’s a simple, but heartbreaking line Morty never respected his father until he lost everything, and became as cynical as Rick. There’s a dark joke here, as Morty is genuinely impressed by the badass his father has become. He’s a hard man now, a far cry from the pathetic person he was - he’s such a survivalist, he abandons Morty and even tries to steal his supplies. We last saw Morty’s original “Cronenberg” universe when he briefly brought Summer there to witness the horrifying aftermath of Rick’s experiments - Morty’s original family had become feral scavengers, and were frozen by a blast from a duplicate Rick’s ice gun.Ĭronenberg Jerry might have survived being frozen in ice, but Beth and Summer didn’t.
