It’s Official, Rick and Morty Season 9 Isn’t Paying Off That Setup From 7 Years Ago

While Rick and Morty season 9, episode 3 did bring back a gag from seven years ago, viewers who hoped to finally see a resolution to this long-running storyline shouldn’t get their hopes up. The more things change in the world of Rick and Morty, the more the show stays the same. Although Rick and Morty’s season 9 premiere briefly changed its genre entirely, turning the series into a dark buddy comedy between Evil Morty and Rick, the status quo of the show was re-established by the episode’s ending.
