For all you
Rick and Morty fans out there you know how long we waited for this season. The wait was worth it, and I can’t wait for
tonight’s all new episode. Each episode thus far has given us plenty of laughs
and insight into the lives of these crazy characters. I will now prompt the SPOILER ALERT for the remainder of this recap.
"The
Rickshank Rickdemption"
Let’s start
with the premiere episode that aired on April 1st and the fact that it was the
greatest April fool’s joke ever. A surprise episode drop was amazing and scary
because I almost missed it. The premiere was non-stop action and humor where
Rick gets back at the Federation, the other Rick’s, and Jerry. This episode
also brought a lot of attention to a discontinued sauce at McDonald's called
Szechuan sauce. The way Rick was going on and on about the sauce had me wanting
to give it a try, and I’m sure that plenty of others wanted a taste.
The show
also had a guest appearance from Nathan Fillion who I know from Firefly and his character was fantastic.
So, let me break it down for you the Federation entered Rick’s mind to learn
his secrets. They believed they had them and his back story but this is Rick,
and it’s never that simple. He tricks them quickly, escapes and starts jumping
through bodies and in an elaborate plan he brings down the Federation, the
other Ricks and gets Jerry back.
Through all
the madness and plans the episodes finally shows the end of Beth and Jerry
relationship. A relationship that has been volatile since the beginning of the
show and the aftermath of this breakup will bleed into the remainder of these
episodes. The ending of the episode after
the credits has rolled we see the return of Tammy and Bird Person now reborn as
Phoenix Person. So, we have that
encounter to look forward to probably in the season finale.
"Rickmancing
the Stone"
The second
episode of this season had a Mad Max vibe but also dealt with the effects the
divorce was having on the kids and Beth. With no effect on Rick he continues to
have adventures just like normal but we the audience can tell Morty and Summer
changed. Summer is emotionless and kills a man without blinking while Morty
starts killing many people with a new arm who has a mind of its own. Beth is
wondering how her kids are dealing with the divorce and spent most of the
episode with robot versions of her children and Rick.
Jerry is
staying in a motel being bullied by a whisper in the wind telling him he is a
loser and Dog who eats his unemployment checks. I honestly feel so sorry for
Jerry. Summer, in the end, goes to visit
her father and Morty simply states if Dad wanted to be here he would fight to
be here. Will they stay separated or will they get back together?
"Pickle
Rick"
The third
episode was interesting because the family goes to therapy while Rick turns
himself into a pickle. And yes, I said a pickle because he wanted to avoid
going to therapy which backfired. Rick planned to turn himself back, but Beth
took away the reversal antidote, and here we go on another adventure/therapy
session. Rick ends up in the sewer and becomes this badass Pickle whose killing
rats and people when he accidentally ends up in a secret facility.
This
facility brings us a new character that will probably show up in later episodes.
Jaguar whose is like this Rambo character who lost his daughter and will help
Rick on future adventures. Rick manages to get out of the facility and ends up
going to the therapy session anyway but as a pickle. The session went well but this family has
some deep-rooted issues that all lead to Rick and will take a few more episodes
to resolve.
The
adventures continue tonight at 11:30 pm on Adult Swim Rick and Morty: Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender. Watch the
preview below to see what to expect for tonight’s episode.
