History Awesome / RickAndMorty

** -->''' Car:''' Summer is safe\\

-->'''Rick''': Here's the deal, I'm not here to judge. I'm just a guy from another planet. But this girl is one of your poor people, and I guess you guys felt like it was okay to subject her to inhuman conditions because [[ForTheEvulz there was no chance of it ever hurting you]]. It's sort of the sociopolitical equivalent of, say, [[ImpliedDeathThreat a suit of power armor around you]]? But now [[WhosLaughingNow things are evened out]] so... [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Arthricia]]?\\

** But as of "Solaricks", [[DoubleSubverted we know this actually improved Jerry and the whole family in the long run.]] Beth and Jerry's brief divorced time helped them become less toxic to each other, and the whole family became more independent of Rick's poisonous influence, improving the whole family and even Rick himself. This is well reflected on when Jerry when he spent his time in a "Season 2" dimension where everone was toxic to each other.

* The episode continues to show that Jerry can be a badass by having the Main Jerry telling off his original "Season 2" family after seeing that they have stagnated in their development, while the family he has been with has grown and gotten closer, declaring that he's become an interdimensional traveler and they can kiss his ass. And this is after he displays a startling bit of introspection by admitting to his version of Beth that being divorced for a season turned out to be a good thing.
* Morty finds his Jerry is still alive back in the cronenberged dimension now a wandering hermit. He thinks they can just forget about the apocalypse he caused but Hermit Jerry won’t. He brutally rips into Morty [[WhatTheHellHero for his callousness and bailing on his own dimension twice.]] The kid is left in tears but it is so satisfying for anyone who thinks Morty should’ve faced the consequences for abandoning his own family. Don’t forget, he’s the one who caused the cronenberg dimension in the first place all because he couldn’t just man up and ask Jessica to the dance.

* When Morty reveals to the rest of the Smiths that "Rick" is a robot, the three Smith women, believing him to be a threat, ''immediately'' all go ActionGirl on him and tear him apart. And while Space Beth uses her gun, Earth Beth and Summer just use {{Improvised Weapon}}s at the kitchen table.

* Continuing the theme of the previous episode: Morty caused the problem again, but this time, doesn't even consider abandoning this reality for another one, and while he does receive some help, he's the one to solves the problem by catching the lightsaber. It contrasts him neatly with Curtis, who [[HereWeGoAgain creates the exact same crisis again later]], but rather than owning up to it or trying to stop it, he pins the blame on Morty and [[DirtyCoward launches himself into space to save his own life and let the Earth perish]].

** It's a small moment for Morty to a lesser extent, but he is having none of Rick's usual sour attitude at the beginning of the episode and doesn't hesitate to call him out on it. And in a testament to how well he's served as Rick's MoralityPet in the last couple of seasons, it ''works'', and Rick actually does take a closer look at and correct his behavior.

** Morty insults Rick, does something Rick told him not to at least partly to spite him, and ended up in over his head for it. In previous seasons (3 and 4 especially), Rick would have never let Morty hear the end of this, possibly even setting up a huge revenge scheme to teach him a lesson. This time, though, continuing the running theme of Rick genuinely trying to be a better person in Season 6, he uses this opportunity to reflect on his issues, decides to correct his behavior and be a more supportive grandfather to Morty, and ''actually follows through on it''--no conditions, no "I told you so", no twist of any kind--showing a level of growth that early seasons asserted that Rick wasn't capable of.

* Pissmaster learns the hard way that you do '''''not''''' make sexualized comments about Summer in front of Jerry. While the ensuing fight isn't exactly spectacular, the fact that a nobody like Jerry was able to break the spirit of a supervillain loosely based on the Green Goblin is a massive leap in character development for what was once a textbook example of milquetoast.

* Morty is the one who saves himself and Rick from Mr. Twist after the latter captures them with a SmashCut grenade; while tied to a chair, he lunges at Mr. Twist in a seemingly-failed attempt to attack him and falls to the floor...only to reveal that he succeeded in his real goal of [[PinPullingTeeth using his teeth to pull the pin on a smash cut grenades on Mr. Twist's belt]], which detonates and cuts to the next scene where Rick and Morty have escaped.

* The primary antagonist of this episode is functionally immortal due to how their Fortune works, as in as long as they don't achieve it, they cannot be killed in any way. As she reveals hers is to be the most successful businesswoman in the world in the span of about 10 seconds Rick hacked into the Goldman Sachs bank account, transfers over all their funds to her company, making her the most successful businesswoman on the planet and foiling any and all plans she had. To add insult to injury, as she angrily yells at him for another second or two, he undoes it and transfers over all her money as well.

* The Dinosaurs turning Earth into a utopia, no strings attached, establishing them as benevolent gods.
* In the end, the Dinosaurs effortlessly desecrate Evil Morty's VillainousLegacy by patching up the rift left by his escape, enabling Rick to fix the portal gun once and for all.

* Rick shows his genius prowess quite well in the A plot, by singlehandedly pushing the world in the "Roy: A Life Well lived" video game into the ''space age'' within about a decade.

* When Morty realizes the [[BlueAndOrangeMorality true]] [[KillEmAll nature]] of Fart, he kills him to [[ItMakesSenseInContext prevent an entire universal genocide of carbon based life forms]]. Even though Morty could have avoided doing it and saved the innocent lives of around a hundred carbon-based life forms if he just stayed at Blips and Chitz. The fact that he, a "mere kid", was able to trick a telepathic RealityWarper into getting distracted enough to kill him is one helluva feat, ShaggyDogStory or not. Rick must be really rubbing off on him.

* Morty insisting that Rick tell him the truth and standing firm when Rick initially refuses to give him answers. It perfectly shows the lack of power imbalance between them.
