![]() This episode was created in less than 24 hours by Dan Harmon as a last-ditch effort to make up for scheduling issues that were arising from the 2-part season finale, “The Wedding Squanchers.” Despite the fact that this was written as a quick filler episode, it doesn’t suffer from a large drop in quality. It’s revealed that Jerry has been spending money on “Dial-a-friend” services, leading Beth (Sarah Chalke) to tell him to get a job. As they leave, it’s revealed that the society almost immediately decides to continue the “festival.” Ironically, she uses mostly male put-downs here.īack on Earth, Jerry begs Summer for money, but she leaves, letting him believe he’s now hit rock bottom. After the massacre, Rick tries to give the society ideas about how to rebuild while Arthricia tells Morty that she has a boyfriend. Rick and Arthricia break into the headquarters of the planet’s wealthy and they both murder them while listening to “Feels Good” by Tony! Toni! Tone!. Arthricia begs for mercy, saying she only wanted Rick’s ship to end the “Festival” by killing the rich people that use it to manipulate the poor. ![]() Morty completely loses control and, after they track down Arthricia, Rick ends up having to knock him out. Rick and Morty head outside where the package sent by Summer arrives, revealed to be two sets of sophisticated armor that enable Rick, and later Morty, to go on a killing spree. In response, Morty points out that the script was actually crap and shoves him down the stairs, killing him. His screenplay includes the lines “hot, but doesn’t know it.” He deserves to die.Īfter the keeper finishes the story, Morty, upon being compelled by the keeper, gives a mild criticism, which the keeper treats as an attack upon his art and uses to justify kicking them out. The duo head towards a lighthouse so that Rick can assemble a beacon, and the lighthouse keeper (Ryan Ridley) agrees in exchange for Morty listening to his screenplay. Rick calls Summer (Spencer Grammer), who is fighting with Jerry (Chris Parnell) over Jerry’s new place in the family, on a space phone and has her send a package to Rick and Morty. Rick manages to kill one using a one-shot weapon and intimidates the others into dropping their weapons, but more approach. Rick goes to save Arthricia’s grandmother, but Arthricia steals his gun, shoots him, and takes the car, abandoning Rick and Morty to the purgers. Rick is excited about how morally justified he is to commit murder. Rick and Morty save her, but then Arthricia convinces Rick to save her Grandmother. He’s about to leave when Morty spots a girl named Arthricia (Chelsea Kane) who is being attacked and demands that Rick rescue her. Rick decides to stay and check it out, but a few minutes of witnessing the actual carnage end up disgusting Rick. They stop at a nearby planet to purchase cleaner, but it’s revealed that the society there is about to undergo its annual “festival” during which the citizens are encouraged to murder each other, similar to the movie The Purge and its sequels. Rick and Morty (Justin Roiland, both) get hit by an interstellar insect in space, but it turns out Rick’s out of wiper fluid, so the insect just gets smeared over the windshield. ![]() Still great.Rick and Morty end up on a planet in the middle of a Purge night. My only complaint about this episode is that the subplot with Summer and Morty's dad doesn't really go anywhere. I had no idea those suits would come from that machine he sent for. Rick delivers the best lines and I love how he just zaps Morty to stop him. I like the satire with the bad writer, especially with, "Why don't we go back to three weeks ago when you're alive?!". Yeah, Morty will probably never get lucky. I love when they break the fourth wall and mention the candy bar in the first act and how Morty's character has remained intact. I mean, there's really no reason for them to look like that. I don't know why this planet has a world full of cat people. I am so glad I got to see Rick and Morty in the armor I see in the intro. The action scenes are probably what make this the most interesting. It seems like they'll be able to easily defy the storyline but end up becoming a part of it. ![]() What makes this great is how Rick and Morty find themselves in this situation even though they explicitly state they don't want to. I thought I had seen every episode of this show and I'm fairly certain this is the one episode I haven't seen. ![]()
