Auto Erotic Assimilation
- Rick runs into a former lover, Unity, while traveling with his grandchildren, Autumn and Morty; Unity is an entity that assimilates others; Rick throws himself into giving his relationship with Unity and the people of the planet it has assimilated another try; this has unfortunate effects on Unity
- Autumn objects to Unity and what it is up to, assimilating, until she sees the impact of freeing people from Unity's control when a race war breaks out; Morty is usually the one to object to something like Unity but in this case he cautions Autumn against disrupting the status quo
- Meanwhile back on Earth, Jerry and Beth discover Rick's secret underground lair beneath their garage where Rick has a captive alien creature; I love how they are totally nonplused by the alien in the secret underground lair because they are arguing so much
- the episode ends in a weird, not-typical place after their relationship ends Rick leaves Unity and goes back to Earth in a funk; I suppose that everything has returned to the way it was but Rick really seems to be depressed over the breakup which leaves me wondering if Unity will show up again or at the very least the breakup will get referenced in future episodes as a turning point for Rick
- overall a fun episode; Rick is his usual debaucherous self until the end of the episode; for the first time this season Autumn is the one trying to change the status quo and "make things right" while Morty is the cautious voice warning her against the possible implications of getting what she think is right, a role usually played by Rick
