![]() “He’s taking the good stuff, Morty!” Rick cries. We see Summer finally heading off to college (seems like she’s been 17 forever, Morty observes), Abradolf Lincler’s return, Snowball the mechadog, Summer battling her nemesis Tammy Gueterman, Rick battling his old friend Birdperson, and of course the final confronation between Rick, Morty, and the forces of Evil Morty. So Story Lord hooks the pair up to his story-extracting machine (name pending) to extract the best bits of their future adventures.Īnd that’s how we get a privileged look into Rick and Morty’s future.

Once Rick and Morty make it to the front of the train, they finally confront the supervillain behind this strict adherence to plot rules. ![]() “If it’s too easy to get there, we’ll never get there,” Rick says. He knows that no journey can come without difficulty or sacrifice so he and Morty have to leave the confines of the train to make it to the front of it – Snowpiercerstyle. Rick uses his knowledge of Dan Harmon’s story circle to try to accelerate himself and Morty to the end of the story.

I’m receiving information in my earpiece that there are actually four episodes of Rick and Morty left his season. Surely this is the end of Rick and Morty.Īh…hold on. Surely this is the culmination of the complicated canon that co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have been building all of these years.
