"Star Mort: Rickturn Of The Jerri" - I complained in the last one that the ending of Rick if not winning at least having the last shot against the family didn't feel well earned especially after how that one turned out but guess they were making that one up with this one which yeah I really dig especially how it ended. Like I have to say was so expecting them after having re introduced the clone Beth to have one of them die or just leave again but the idea of both of them staying and actually messing with Rick pointing out how he's a terrible father threatening to punch him and rubbing in how he's not really considered a threat due to his tendency to run away from his problems and everyone just being fine with the situation so much more satisfying. Kind of like how season 3 ended except this one feels even more well earned due to having both Beths here and then finding out he cloned Beth when she decided "yeah do you want me to leave or stay YOU make that decision" and him not being able to even want to remember it actually bringing up the whole Morty Mind Blowers again and finding out how he couldn't even stomach that desire. Honestly I always thought it made sense how Beth's arc sort of ended in season 3 since I figured "Well Rick would be satisfied either way. If she wanted to say she wouldn't have all of these self issues choosing to be with a family and having a sense of comfort I might of never afforded but if she chooses to leave she can have all of those adventures and grow like he did and he'd be satisified either way. So Beth choosing to be with Jerry again realizing how much things matter would be the ultimate F U to him espeically showing he still needs to be with a family now thus why he doesn't just portal off world to try and just find another Morty or something" but adding in actually getting to see what was really the big choice for the clones and adding in how it really shows even Rick how terrible a father is actually does make that moment work even more. Plus hey we also get Phoenix Person probably going to be turned back to Bird Person again probably as another well if not runner at least something to put in the back burner as a plot. I am glad that they did actually have a plan again for Tammy and the whole train thing was just them sort of teasing at the idea with a whole Star Wars homage but going in a different way with it. I admit I was a bit confused at first since I thought "Space Beth" (what I'm calling the Beth that went off) had gone to different dimensions so it was a parallel Tammy and Bug Aliens following them but then remembered "oh yeah just the entire universe not other parallels they went to." I do really like the idea of having had this new take over hinted at in that ending teaser finally cemented on... granted taken care of in this episode but still good to finally get that closure. Also after this half season started with just a lot of Rick and Morty focused episode so glad to see us get two big family focused episode in a row with differing plots.
And honestly a fair amount of good jokes in that; the alien Space Beth was with constantly talking about perscriptions, Jerry being the only one with a decent arc of having this weird puppet obsession because he saw other shows do it and everyone telling him it was stupid but then using it to save the day in the end against Phoenix Person, Space Beth's cool warp through technology and Rick managing to counter that, Summer breaking the goggles and trying to leave with the belt but Morty having one over on her, Rick having wired Wong's office with various weapon triggers and her annoyance at being left behind after that fight (wonder how many people were annoyed they weren't getting more of her after Pickle Rick established her as Rick's probably biggest nemesis who can so easily cut through his BS but eh after he wasn't going to come on the trip anyway and then everyone doing it regardless wasn't so bothered by that), the aliens thinking Morty had super psychic powers thanks to the invisiblity, Rick's annoyance at having to do a Star Wars and the major weapon claiming it didn't have an easy to pinpoint weakness, Space Beth making fun of regular Beth for not exercising, actually mentioning the Wendy's deal (which is especially funny because on my end they played that commercial in the ad break spot) Rick and Phoenix Person's battle and Phoenix Person admitting Rick's a bad friend for always wondering who would win between them, Tammy being gunned down and using her for an eye scanner and Invisible Garbage Druck driver Jerry. Honestly really liked this ending as had a lot of good jokes and really loved that whole ending bit and makes me really curious what season 5 has in store.
So yeah Season 4 IMHO has been really good. There hasn't really been a dud episode as I've enjoyed all 10 and the weakest episodes IMHO I just didn't care for maybe like certain ending bits but the rest were really solid and easily made up for here so yeah really good stuff can't wait for more R&M... likely next year since you know there is no wait between season gaps like the last few seasons are and hey unlike other forms of media, most animation progress can still be made despite social distancing and what not being enforced so yeah can't wait for more from this show.
