It cannot be a coincidence that this episode introduces a When Wolf movie right before the release of Werewolves Within.Speaking of end-credits, wood Jerry lives for so long that he sees alien civilization evolve to be the Wild West, and then convert to Christianity.The inclusion of Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" during the end credits to pay off that great Highlander reference was perfect.Rick's response to both? "Don't try to fuck them." This week's references: while one Morty sees the decoys and compares them to Westworld, another references Ex Machina.Always Wants To Be Hunted needs to meet Mr Poopybutthole asap. Why does every new guest character's name starts with "Mr."? Also, Mr.All that matters is that the audience has seen the different versions of the characters go through some big things before they are reset by the laws of sitcoms. This episode makes it clear that Rick and Morty doesn't care about a singular Smith family or a solid canon, because they can always pull an alternate dimension or a decoy card. Next week when we see Summer and Morty fight, or Beth complain about Rick, they may not spell out that they know what happened in this episode, but every word they say carries the weight of the fun, mayhem, murder, and trauma that the audience saw them experience in Mortiplicity. Even when the show pulls back on a big change, like revealing that none of these were the real Smiths, it still revealed enough about the characters that the audience itself has changed. Though some things have certainly changed in the eight years since Rick and Morty premiered, this episode made it clear that serialization is not in the cards as of now, and that's okay. Last week, I praised the show for seemingly trying to break the rules of sitcoms and make its characters go through some permanent change for a while. Still, some things never change, like Morty trying to kill someone with a spoon. One Jerry may be faster to pick up on what's going on than the others, while one Rick may even be supportive of his daughter instead of calling her a bitch for questioning Rick's motives for creating the decoys in the first place. Episode writer Albro Lundy gets a lot of mileage out of showing different versions of the Smith family and the small differences between them. Just before we get tired of the format of seeing a family check on the decoys, only to realize that they might be decoys themselves, before another family comes in and kills them, Mortiplicity raises the stakes or introduces a new layer of weirdness to maintain the show's familiar lightning-fast pace.Īfter a quick montage of dozens of Smith families maiming, assassinating each other, or committing suicide, we jump to a sanctuary for decoys. Like the best episodes of Rick and Morty, the concept is taken to its most ridiculous extremes, as the further remove a decoy is from the original, the weirder they get, like a Smith family made of robots, or wooden dolls, or gruesome The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-inspired creatures that wear human faces as disguises. There will be a total of 10 episodes this season.RELATED: 'Rick and Morty' Season 5 Episode 1 Recap: The Smith Family Keeps A-Changin'
