Only Rick would insult an interdimensional foe with a reference to the co-author of вЂњThe Elements of Style.вЂќ (Well, him and the вЂњSick burn!вЂќ guy, apparently.) Grammar humor: very in right now. Obscure Reference of the Week: вЂњSave it for the SemanticsDome, E.B. But if a little more emotional understanding comes along with SummerвЂ™s bigger role in the season, we are all for it. ItвЂ™s a strange ending for an episode that features ponds of spurting blood and deadly pursuits across the desert. In a society where language is stripped down to fundamental noises (Summer rightly calls out вЂњBoom-boomвЂќ for being totally ridiculous), it makes absolute sense that they would call the BloodDome something that basic.ДЄs cynical as the show can get sometimes (of course they would turn Hemorrhage into a couch potato three weeks after introducing the concept of electricity), it saves a really sweet moment for the end, as Jerry and Summer reconnect. Whether itвЂ™s Jerry standing on the driveway, pausing to hear the wind whisper insults or eventually turning dystopia into a burgeoning suburb, the show so often finds the best way to take something extraordinary and intensify its most boring element.

So itвЂ™s a fresh bit of mercy to see him not only be able to use this as an unlikely partnership (calling his left bicep Armothy is the most Morty thing heвЂ™s done so far this season), but to see it give him an avenue for therapy.ДЄnd once again, вЂњRick and MortyвЂќ goes back to its strongest joke: banality. The showвЂ™s most terrifying ordeals often have to do with MortyвЂ™s body being forced into things that he has no control over. Poor Morty has experienced his fair share of unexpected horrors over the past few seasons.

In their respective ways, the trio of Earth outsiders all have to find different ways to adapt and survive, but the most shocking change is MortyвЂ™s sentient arm. With this dimensionвЂ™s Immortan Joe being offed in the first five minutes (thanks to a shotgun blast of the skull from newly-minted Furiosa-in-training Summer), this world of chrome is lorded over by the appropriately named Hemorrhage. After resituating all of the showвЂ™s characters in the first episode of the season, before booting Jerry out of the house, this was a chance for the show to riff on one of the biggest movies made during its hiatus while also sneaking in a not-so-subtle allegory to a family slowly being torn apart. As far as plot goes, this is one of the lightest вЂњRick and MortyвЂќ episodes in a while.
