Then they get in a huge fight and, before they get back together, Rick or Morty could be stranded in time and/or space with no way home. Here’s a theory: Rick recruits a new Kyle from inside his battery to become his Morty replacement, but while on an adventure, they bump into Morty in some fashion. Morty and Kyle 1.0 in “The Ricks Must Be Crazy.” Adult Swim Sadly, Kyle 1.0 killed himself during “The Ricks Must Be Crazy” when he realized that he existed on a microcosmic level solely to be exploited by a person who was also being exploited. The first Kyle was a ghost-looking scientist who existed within Zeep Xanflorp’s Miniverse, who in turn lives inside the Microverse battery that powers Rick’s car. Rick and Morty often plays fast and loose with how closely episode titles reflect the story, but it’s fun to analyze nonetheless.Įpisode 9 could essentially be a “Morty and Rick break up” episode where Rick takes someone else on an adventure. The beginning of the promo is likely the episode’s cold open, so Rick replacing Morty is probably the main plot hook at first. Could the Season 5 finale make that video canon? What is the Rick and Morty Season 5 finale plot? Adult Swim also previously released an animated short that put Rick and Morty into a samurai setting. He battles his way through a dark future so he may return to the past and undo the destruction wrought by the evil wizard Aku. Samurai Jack is a beloved animated series from visionary Genndy Tartakovsky that follows the titular hero, a warrior lost in time. (Could this episode be about Morty finally getting over Jessica? Or maybe Rick getting over one of his many interdimensional exes?)

Then, while on a trip to Hawaii to recuperate, he bumps into Sarah with her new lover. The episode titles are obvious riffs on Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Samurai Jack.įorgetting Sarah Marshall is a hilariously irreverent romantic comedy in which Jason Segel’s hapless but lovable musician gets dumped by famous actress Sarah Marshall (played by Kristen Bell). What do the Rick and Morty Season 5 finale episode titles mean? This would be a first for Rick and Morty, but plenty of other sci-fi shows, most notably Doctor Who, do two-parters with some regularity. It’s possible, even likely, that Adult Swim is airing the episodes back-to-back as a two-parter and calling it an hourlong season finale when in reality they’re separate episodes with an overarching plot. Unless something weird is going on and Episode 10 is some kind of epilogue, then Episode 9 is called “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” and Episode 10 is called “Rickmurai Jack.” Trick question! The promo refers to it as a “one-hour season finale,” but a video posted to Twitter in May 2021 revealing all of the episode titles for Season 5 lists separate titles for Episodes 9 and 10. Don’t be fooled by the chaotic order in which these titles were revealed.
