![]() The “I am an individual character!” counterargument joke only goes so far to make it anything more than a gag that probably should have stayed in a writers room’s brainstorming session.) (The fact that Dan Harmon voices the man about to purchase Planetina feels less like subversion and more like a half-hearted unforced error. The Kids and the wealthy magnate ready to acquire Planetina are all dead. Once the dirt and magma settles, he’s got all four rings. Just before he’s able to kill Morty in some back-room torture effort (who knew Buscemi could make the word “fire” seem so sinister?), Morty’s lovesick fury leads him on a fatal rampage. Back on Earth, one of Planetina’s “Kids” (voiced by Steve Buscemi, to show that time had passed) is bent on eliminating Morty to keep him from messing up their Planetina-fame gravy train. Rick becomes so enamored of Daphne (Jennifer Coolidge), a resident of the first planet on their apocalypse crawl, that he finds a way to bring her along and delay her demise. These pair of plans, happening galaxies apart, each hit a snag. (Beth is understandably concerned, but it seems like Morty passed the “concerning relationship” phase four seasons ago when he fathered a child with a sex robot.) Naturally, her being an all-powerful force - generated by ring-possessing guardians now 30 years older than they were when Planetina was first… conjured, I guess? - does complicate things a bit. After a chance encounter to kick off the episode, one date leads to something more and the two begin a flirty teen romance. Morty finds himself smitten with Planetina (Alison Brie), a Captain Planet-ish superhero formed from elements in order to protect the world’s various ecosystems. Of course, they’re not the only ones enjoying new flings with human-adjacent beings.

The promise of consequence-free cavorting is naturally a draw for both Summer and Rick - after swapping some vivid plans and demonstrations for what will happen once they land, they quickly go to work making good on those promises. Rick’s discovery of a series of extinction events on a trio of distant planets give them enough cover to engage with the locals in whatever level of debauchery they choose, as long as they give themselves enough time to blast off before the explosions happen. ![]() Is this a journey to explore new worlds and gain knowledge of other civilizations? Technically, yes. (Seeing a guy laser-diced into little tiny cubes right before your eyes tends to leave a psychological mark.) So in addition to providing a shakeup that the show needs every once in a while, it’s refreshing to see Summer and Rick take the system-hopping adventure thread of this week’s “A Rickconvenient Mort.” Both of them know how to cock a plasma cannon and each are well-aware of the perils that interdimensional travel can bring. As always, thanks for listening.Morty is the one with his name in the title, but as far as Smith kids go, “ Rick and Morty” has slowly been unspooling the idea that Summer is the one most like their grandfather.
