Turns out, Morty and Nick are linked because they both accidentally spill some portal gun fluid on their bodies, creating a direct portal between them. This time, it is Nick, a guy that hung out with Rick once and now lives in a mental institution because of this experience. Meanwhile, Morty teams up with yet another seemingly innocent person that turns out to be a violent psychopath. Most of the episode's humor lies in Rick learning that crows are "empathetic as fuck" and extremely cool. While the finale doesn't retroactively fix those problems, it does provide a thin layer of continuity that makes the feeling of something being off lead to a big change in the main dynamic of the show, as Rick fires Morty once and for all.Įpisode 9, Forgetting Sarick Mortshall, starts with Morty pissing Rick off so much by messing with the portal gun - to literally fix the many problems Rick leaves behind - that he pulls out the Wheel of Sidekicks Better Than Morty and decides to team up with two crows. The big problem in the season is that many of the episodes felt like they were sidetracking the character dynamics we know and love in favor of wacky sci-fi concepts, and every time two characters were on screen together, something felt off.
So far, Season 5 has played fast and loose with continuity, teasing small changes that have been lurking in the background, with subtle differences in the way certain characters act that seem to indicate they've changed after all this time. Thankfully, the show finished its fifth season strongly, with a funny episode about Rick learning the important lesson that crows are cool, and an episode that drops some delicious lore and continuity while confronting the toxic relationship between the titular grandpa and grandson, cue "For the Damaged Coda." For every great clone episode, there were two bad episodes about turkeys and incest babies waiting to disappoint. It's not controversial to say that this season of Rick and Morty has been largely uneven.
