And yet as a mediation on the cruelty of toxic relationships – and the mayhem of rebounds – it’s potent enough. Rick’s obsession with crows is amusing (and if you think the Rick and Two Crows show is something you’d like to see, you’re not alone – wait until the next episode). It’s certainly the most wholesome episode of a season that’s been often brilliant, often disappointing, always uneven thus far. Pleasant without ever really being funny. ‘Forgetting Sarick Mortshall’ is perfunctory stuff. Nick and Morty strike up a friendship around their shared experience of Rick. Morty is devastated as Rick flies away, breaking the fourth wall and declaring the imminent arrival of the Rick and Two Crows show. Rick finally admits that their relationship is abusive.

Rick and Morty reconcile outside the Smith garage, though their days adventuring forever are seemingly now through.

Realising that the only way to disconnect himself from Nick is to sever the portal connection, Morty allows a passing train to amputate his hand.

Nick’s a bit of a dick actually, he lied about his prior encounter with Rick. Meanwhile, Morty and Nick have fallen out. What follows is confusing, but seemingly leads to an empathetic awakening for Rick. Meanwhile, Rick has fallen out with the two crows, enraging a race of humanoid crows as a result. They christen themselves “The Portal Boys”. Morty helps Nick break out of the institution, while finding common ground in their abuse at the hands of Rick. It transpires that Nick is institutionalised after meeting Rick and subsequently being fired out of a cannon. Via palm portal, Morty connects with Nick, who resides in a psychiatric hospital (and an offensive, unhelpful depiction of one at that). He captures two crows and trains them, gloating about Morty’s inconsequence to him. Rick spins it, with the wheel landing on “two crows”. He pulls down a wheel split into quadrants, each containing potential replacements for Morty as a partner. It looks the same… right? But then Morty accidentally spills portal fluid on his palm, connecting him with a mysterious man named Nick, who claims to have a portal on his thigh.Įnter Rick – mean, abusive, ever narcissistic Rick – who, caring little that his grandson now has a gaping portal on his palm, berates Morty for using the portal gun without his permission. Keen to avoid his grandfather’s wrath, Morty replenishes the jar with Mountain Dew. Morty returns to the Smith garage and realises that Rick has inked a notch on a container of portal fluid. We begin with Morty – kind, pure of heart, ever idealistic Morty – traveling from dimension to dimension, cleaning up the mess made by Rick on recent adventures.
