History Recap / RickAndMortyS7E2TheJerrickTrap

* VoiceoverLetter: After Rick and Jerry leave to have their own adventures, Summer wonders if they should read it in either of their voices.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Rick hands Jerry a gun when the later asks him to help him solve the rake issue with the neighbor.

* SoundtrackDissonance: "We Are Gonna Be Friends" plays while Rickbody and Jerrybody kick ass as their new personas, "Burger and Fries". Ironic, considering the violence, but appropriate in regards to Jerry and Rick's relationship in this episode.

* VoiceOverLetter: After Rick and Jerry leave to have their own adventures, Summer wonders if they should read it in either of their voices.

* BigOMG: Morty shouts "Oh my god!" after the shootout starts, and then the rather-stronger "Jesus fucking Christ!" when he's [[LudicrousGibs covered in blood spatter and pieces of gut]] after his dad's/grandpa's ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice attack on Chuxly.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: If Chuxly's underlings had kidnapped Morty on any other day, the whole plot would have been solved in two minutes, as Rick would have shown up and wiped out all the gangsters easily, or maybe accepted the bribe and left peacefully if he was feeling merciful. But because it [[ContrivedCoincidence just so happens to occur at the same time]] that Rick and Jerry screw up a FreakyFridayFlip, neither of them are fully Rick and both have elements of [[NonActionGuy Jerry]] as well, and they soon provoke the gangsters' ire and end up in a dangerous shoot-out, though they do still win.

** Chuxly's first call to Rick is very much ''not'' intended to be this, because his subordinate took Morty against his wishes and he knows Rick is likely to violently retaliate and is trying to placate him. Unfortunately for Chuxly, Rick (both versions of him is his own and Jerry's bodies) still take it as this anyway and do promptly come to confront him, inciting him to throw in a 10,000-kruton bribe as well.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Morty is apparently now on his way to becoming a full blown criminal; selling drugs, garnering contacts in the underworld, and unconcernedly shooting his way out of situations. Nobody even comments on this, apart from Beth who seems disappointed about the drug dealing part.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Played with in that the "genre" the character is savvy to is a typical plot of ''Rick & Morty''. Chuxley is very familiar with what wanton destruction and death Rick Sanchez is capable of, and is more than happy to want to appease him. However, when Rickbody and Jerrybody show up, bickering and clearly displaying that something has gone awry, Chuxley decides to take a gamble and attempt to kill Rick while his attention is divided. Ultimately, Chuxley feels quite a bit of remorse for even attempting the gamble, realizing what it cost himself and his criminal empire, and apologizes to the Smiths as he dies.

* SuperScream: Jerricky unleashes a scream wave when fighting the mob.

* PersonaNonGrata: The end of the episode shows Rick and Jerry having been barred from ever coming back to a space bar.

* NaiveNewcomer: One of Chuxly's goons is just new to the organization and decided to kidnap Morty, without knowing anything about Morty's connection to Rick (the goon doesn't know who Rick is either). [[OhCrap Chuxly is understandably scared because he doesn't want to mess with Rick.]]

* GreenRocks: Discussed when Morty tries to hide his drug dealing from Beth by claiming the crystals he's been selling could be anything, only for Chuxly to scupper that by clarifying the crystals he's dealing are specifically drugs.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Played with in that the "genre" the character is savvy to is a typical plot of Rick & Morty. Chuxley is very familiar with what wanton destruction and death Rick Sanchez is capable of, and is more than happy to want to appease him. However, when Rickbody and Jerrybody show up, bickering and clearly displaying that something has gone awry, Chuxley decides to take a gamble and attempt to kill Rick while his attention is divided. Ultimately, Chuxley feels quite a bit of remorse for even attempting the gamble, realizing what it cost himself and his criminal empire, and apologizes to the Smiths as he dies.

* BloodyHilarious: The Rick/Jerry combo in Rick's body [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice using his conehead to impale Chuxly]] with a big grin on his face, Jerry's body happily landing front-first in the resulting pool of blood, Morty screaming in horror as he's left covered in blood and gore, and "Rick" being stuck inside Chuxly's body and needing Morty and "Jerry" to pull him out are all completely PlayedForLaughs.

* CommonalityConnection: What ends up making Jerry and Rick finally stop being antagonistic towards each other after the botched mind swap and start finding common ground. They both realize they love Morty, and from there, discover more and more that they are two halves of the same two people, until they decide to become a duo. They ruminate on their family being what brought them together when they're in danger once again.

** Further subverted after the garage has fixed the duo, as their brains have been scrambled so both bodies have parts of both minds, with Rick and Jerry retaining elements of each other while lacking parts of the original selves, such as Jerry getting Rick's paranoia, aggression, and ego, while Rick gains Jerry's empathy, curiosity, and impulsiveness. These mind-scrambled versions eventually decide to go by "Burger and Fries".
* FusionDance: Rick and Jerry decide to fuse together, surgically combining their bodies to become "Jerricky" to save their family. They also perform a SplitPersonalityMerge, with each of their jumbled minds joining as one and speaking in a VoiceOfTheLegion together.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The mind-scrambled Ricks and Jerrys use Rick's body's conehead to stab Chuxly straight through the gut to make him [[NeckLift let go of Morty]]. Rick's body actually ''gets stuck in the hole he just made'' and needs "Jerry" and Morty to pull him out.
* LudicrousGibs: Rick's body [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice using his conehead to stab through Chuxly's chest]] leaves an entire pool of blood, and he, Jerry's body, and Morty end up covered in both the blood and pieces of guts and gore.

* NeckLift: Chuxly to Morty when he grabs him during the mafia shootout. The Ricks/Jerrys save him by stabbing Chuxly with Rick's conehead.

* SheetOfGlass: Rick and Jerry break through a sheet of glass when escaping from a gang of aliens chasing them. It was a dying kid's wish, for some reason.

* SoundtrackDissonance: "We Are Gonna Be Friends" plays while Rick and Jerry kick ass. Ironic, considering the violence, but appropriate in regards to Jerry and Rick's relationship in this episode.
* TheStinger: 30-year-old memory Rick navigates Jerry's mind looking for parts, but is stymied by the fact that Jerry envisions all technology to run on gears and springs, so he just builds sculptures out of them.

* UseYourHead: Rick and Jerry kill the Chuxly the mob boss by having Rick grow a Film/{{Conehead|s}} and then having Jerry rocket his body through Chuxly's stomach like a missile.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: The garage AI scans the room to find Rick and Jerry dead, and their brains splattered all over some nearby shelves.

* PowerIncontinence: Jerry has no idea how to mentally control Rick's implants, so he ends up bashing his head open when he accidentally activates the jet boots. When the pair are scrambled, the resulting two people using Rick's and Jerry's bodies are smarter, but both still can't quite control the implants properly, forcing Jerry to manually activate the boots with a fork.

* OhCrap: Chuxsly freaks out when he realizes his goons have grabbed Morty, treating him like a guest until Rick arrives.

** Chuxly's first call to Rick is very much ''not'' intended to be this, because his subordinate kidnapped Morty against his wishes and he knows Rick is likely to violently retaliate and is trying to placate him. Unfortunately for Chuxly, Rick (both versions of him is his own and Jerry's bodies) still take it as this anyway and do promptly come to confront him, inciting him to throw in a 10,000-kruton bribe as well.

* CommonalityConnection: What turns out making Jerry and Rick finally stop being antagonistic towards each other after the botched mind swap and start finding common ground. They both realize they love Morty, and from there, discover more and more that they are two halves of the same two people, until they decide to become a duo.

* TheBusCameBack: Memory Rick returns in *TheStinger* who ends up trapped in Jerry's mind and laments how he is unable to scrounge for parts due to Jerry thinking all technology contains springs and gears.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After Rick and Jerry accidentally get their brains mixed together, Beth is initially happy at how they are getting along much better than they usually do. Unfortunately, they take bonding together way too far, to the point of leaving their family behind to go have adventures together, and eventually even fuse themselves into a single entity who plans on leaving for good to be themselves.

* RakeTake: Before trying to leave into space, Jerricky steps on his own rake, causing both Rick and Jerry's original personalities to wake up and get the family to rescue them.

** Rick apparently gave himself a conehead implant at some point after watching ''Film/{{Coneheads}}''. Both versions of Rick/Jerry compliment the film and its cast.

** Memory Rick, Rick's 35-year-old memory self who's been living inside his mind since "Rickturnal Friendshine of the Rickless Mort", apparently saved Rick's and Jerry's consciousnesses inside "Jerricky's" mind to keep them from being permanently fused, but ends up inside Jerry's brain instead of Rick's once the two of them are properly separated back into their bodies.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After Rick and Jerry accidentally got their brains mixed together, Beth was initially happy at how they are getting along much better than they usually do. Unfortunately, they took bonding together way too far to the point they fused themselves into a single entity and are now planning on leaving their family to be themselves.

* FusionDance: Rick and Jerry decide to fuse together, surgically combining their bodies to become "Jerricky" to save their family. They also perform a SplitPersonalityMerge, with each of their jumbled minds joining as one.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Infuriated by the incompetence of his addled father and grandfather, Morty grabs a gun and says he'll shoot his own way back to the ship, runs out from behind the bar, and next we see him he's fought his way up to the office. Unfortunately, his badassery is entirely offscreen, as it is at this moment that Chuxly does a NeckLift on him.

* ChekhovsSkill: One that pays off less than a minute later: the mind-combo of Rick and Jerry inside Rick's body tries to activate his implants for the shootout, but only manages to accidentally turn on his cone head, to Morty's exasperation. But when Chuxly grabs Morty in a NeckLift soon after and is strangling him, "Rick" uses this conehead, with "Jerry"'s help, to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice run the mobster straight through]].
