* SequelEpisode:
** Deals with the aftermath of the season opener, particularly Morty and Summer trying to cope with their parents' divorce. Summer becomes a StrawNihilist and tries to start a new life in the ''[[Film/MadMax Mad Max]]'' dimension before realizing that running away from her problems [[GenerationXerox makes her no better than her parents]]. Meanwhile, Morty seems relatively fine with the change but a couple days of cathartic violence unearths his hidden anger against Jerry.
** This episode also deals with Rick's claim that both Morty and Summer are replacable. He tries to ditch them in the ''[[Film/MadMax Mad Max]]'' dimension but realizes that replacing them [[PragmaticVillainy is actually more work than just convincing them to come home]].
** Jerry becomes even more of a ButtMonkey than he was before because of his lack of commitment towards the divorce, even though he was the one who suggested it in the first place. Waffling between leaving and staying just makes Morty, Summer, and Beth more annoyed with him.
