Man, my mind wonders when I think about where this episode and season are going.

I think Evil Morty is definitely the first Morty our Rick had. I think the reason Morty took over and conquered the Citadel is that he wanted to prove to Rick that he can change it. It's the same reason he didn't kill Rick in the first Evil Morty episode.... why he had that moment where he had his zombie/controlled Rick point out that Rick actually liked that Morty (that was obviously him) in his memories. He clearly is a Morty fan, as he should be, at least for strong and intelligent Morty's... and the question is why did he Choose C-137s Morty to act as the chosen Morty? It's because he loves his Rick and wants him back.... but he also believes in Morty rights... and the only Rick that ever gave him was the Rickest of Ricks.... So, he wants that Rick to succeed and he wants the Mortys that get that to succeed.... Anyway, he's obviously why Rick told Morty to to get overly self confident.....

I think that basically Morty is trying to demonstrate that he's inordinately intelligent and capable of doing whatever Rick needs or wants done, but wants to be on an even level with him.. partners... and I think he realizes that all Ricks aren't bad and that is why he is evening out the platform.... kind of a weird dictatorship where he is evening the playing field while brining back his father figure...

And if it doesn't end with the therapist from Pickle Rick working ou their issues, I'd be a bit sad....

I've been wondering lately if the reason Rick showed up after such a long absence is because the original Rick was killed in that initial timeline... probably because of his actions or the Citadels.... which would explain his vehement repulsion at them.... and he only goes into dimensions that fill that gap where he just looks like he was absent and returns...

I dunno... I'm drinking and ranting and to answer your question: I can't fucking wait.
