Twist blows a “smash cut” grenade and teleports everyone to a room where Rick and Morty are tied in chairs. Rick evades his laser, which hits a guard named Marvin, who immediately becomes the star of a show named "Marvin the Cowardly Security Guy." The battle ends when Mr. ![]() Rick and Morty run for their lives, but they cross paths with Protago Nick, who can turn any character into a protagonist. Then, it’s time for Connie Tinuityerror to place barrels on the scientist's way that were definitely not there before. Rick activates a narrative force field, but Flash Back returns in time and discovers how Rick made the technology. While Jesus keeps beating Rick, the scientist drops the remote he uses to break the Fourth Wall, allowing Story Lord to escape into the real world.įirst comes Miss Lead, slapping Rick when he least expects it. Previous Leon was just the bait, a fact that Story Lord underlines by having Jesus rip out his wings. He also brought the Jesus from all the jokes, a Jesus without God and ready to do all sorts of brutal things. After that, the mastermind behind Previous Leon and Jesus appears, Story Lord (voiced by Paul Giamatti), the villain from Season 4, Episode 6, "Never Ricking Morty."Īs Story Lord explains, he spent a long time trapped in the Bible TV show for children Rick trapped him in their last encounter before using the power of faith to escape and come to the Meta Layer. Their moral argument gets interrupted when Jesus shows up to protect Previous Leon and beat Rick and Morty to a pulp. Morty feels guilty, but Rick reminds him Hitler was also a Catholic. However, as Rick is ready to pull the trigger, the creature begins to pray. Rick and Morty eventually corner Previous Leon. For instance, as soon as they get to the Meta Layer, Rick evades the “Trials” path, claiming that Previous Leon could have gone there without turning into a hero.

When Rick and Morty cross the opening credits and wake up in their garage, the scientist is determined to kill Previous Leon. ![]() RELATED: 'Rick and Morty' Season 6 Review: Get Ready for Another Ricktastic Adventure And if that was too meta for you, I have bad (or good) news: things will only get weirder moving forward. To escape the infinite “previously," Rick and Morty must also navigate the opening credits, which is as weird as it sounds. Rick takes them back to the deuterium chamber and forces Morty to repeat “next time on Rick and Morty” as a way to break the spell and bring them back to real life, where they find out a character named Previous Leon was using poison to drain their unused potential. ![]() ![]() Morty is too confused to follow Rick’s line of thought and takes them to Beth dying in an electric chair after being accused of releasing the bees that killed Jerry. First, he asks Morty to marry him, and then he takes them on a honeymoon inside a sealed chamber lined with ionized deuterium, which is a narrative deterrent. Rick grows suspicious of reality and begins to fight back against the previous. However, we are soon led through a Victorian adventure with Jack the Ripper, Summer getting pregnant on her 18th birthday, meatballs falling from the sky, Jerry (voiced by Chris Parnell) dying after being stung by bees, and Rick and Morty (voiced by Roiland) solving a murder with Tony Hawk. At first, the “previously” is just about how Beth (voiced by Sarah Chalke) had sex with her clone and how Rick (voiced by Justin Roiland) fixed his Portal Gun. At least until we start to get glimpses of things that never happened. While the series has never used a “previously” before, we just came out of a long hiatus, so it’s not a stretch to imagine the montage is real. The episode begins with a “previously” that retells what happened earlier this season. It’s a wild journey leading to several montages with random images, the perfect template to let Rick and Morty be as wacky as possible. Even so, Rick and Morty has never been as meta as in Season 6, Episode 7, “Full Meta Jackrick.” In the episode, Rick and Morty get attacked by meta-narrative creatures from beyond the Fourth Wall, leading them to the dimension where narrative gimmicks come true before their eyes. Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Rick and Morty, Season 6, Episode 7.Įvery season of Rick and Morty must have a meta episode where the characters poke holes at the show's narrative structure.
