So we know now why Rick took his time in repairing the portal gun; he’s autistic and he has a Process™️.
I can relate so I respect that.
But the angsty side of me liked to think he didn’t actually want to repair it. Fixing it would give him the chance to keep chasing Prime Rick which would just lead him down more painful avenues like in the past. At least “trapped” on earth, he can be with his family like he always should have been. He can try to heal from his trauma. Try to let it go.
