Narratively, I really like the whiplash of Rick being so nice last episode vs. him being so so horrible here because that‘s really what it‘s like living with an alcoholic. They can be the sweetest most caring person when they‘re sober/not THAT drunk, but then turn into the worst, borderline unrecognizable version of themselves when they‘re DRUNK drunk. This feels like the drunkest we‘ve seen Rick since the Vindicators. And it really puts into perspective just how drastically alcoholism can change someones personality. This to me is the best portrayal so far of his alcoholism as an actual disease that ruins him and everyone around him as opposed to it being a quirky character trait. This time they made sure to empathize that he would have never acted this way sober

prob not meant to be funny but “evil boy… wicked boy…” made me laugh

I'm so obsessed with the delivery of the last line because it's reminiscent of the earlier seasons but it's also so obviously a shell of it. It refuses to lean into the humour. It also refuses to disrupt it. THAT'S SO REAL THIS EPISODE IS SO REAL FUCK

im scared why have all 4 episodes this season been really good what’s going on where’s my one per season absolutely terrible and painful to watch through episode

Part of me is scared that the reason we got so many wholesome Rick and Morty moments in this episode is because they’re going to absolutely fucking decimate us later on
