Newest Rick and Morty Episode's Jaw-Dropping Twist Changes Everything For the Show
We have seen an off-scale level of epicness.
Summary:
- Rick and Morty Season 7 Episode 5 became one of the most important for the plot of the whole show, completing arcs that started a few seasons ago.
- Rick finally killed Rick Prime to avenge killing his family, but lost the meaning of living.
- With such significant life changes, the characters will not be the same and the show may take a new direction.
Rick and Morty Season 7 Episode 5 was released on November 12 and became the most ambitious and important sequence of the season. The fate of Evil Morty was revealed, while simultaneously discussing the past of the main Rick and Morty's longtime enemy.
What Was Rick and Morty Season 7 Episode 5 About?
But Episode 5 is mainly about the search for Rick Prime. Although not very successful at first: the character skillfully escapes and sets deadly traps for other Ricks.
There are many people who want to take revenge on Prime: he killed Rick's wife in all universes and wanted to teach Sanchez a lesson by wiping out the scientist's entire family, starting with Slow Mobius, a character who can slow down time.
In the sixth season, it is revealed that Sanchez has been trying to find Prime for decades. Revenge became the main topic of the project and Rick's main motivation in all subsequent seasons.
And finally, in the episode Unmortricken, Rick managed to fulfill his life's goal and do what seemed impossible – kill Rick Prime and avenge the death of his family.
One of the most important moments for the plot turned out to be the most brutal in the entire show, and considering the amount of blood and gore in Rick and Morty's seven seasons, this is quite an accomplishment.
In a scene that no doubt shocked many viewers, Evil Morty leaves Rick alone with Rick Prime, and Rick makes the most of the opportunity. We'll spare you the details, but after dealing with the killer of his wife and daughter, Rick leaves the room covered in blood in the tradition of the best slasher movies.
Why Is Unmortricken So Important?
It seemed that now that the mission of vengeance had been accomplished, Rick would finally be at peace and be able to devote himself to more peaceful pursuits than hunting for his copy. But instead, he seems to have simply lost the meaning of life and now has no idea what to do in a world where there is nothing left that he cares about.
Rick will definitely not be the same after this, so it will be interesting to see how the show's writers continue to develop this character's arc. Rick and Morty will definitely have a new major plot twist and a new round of characters' transformation.
We still have five episodes left in season 7, and the consequences of Rick's actions will be seen in episode six, which airs on November 19.
