Rick is finally seeing the consequences of his actions. His daughters don’t need him and possibly even hate him. Morty and Summer are fully capable of having adventures without him. And his best friend, back from the dead, tells him he’s a bad friend and now wants to kill him.

Even his sworn enemies think of him as yesterdays news.

He has no one and nothing. Not even his reputation as the most wanted man in the universe.

He can run from reality to reality until he’s dead, but it will always end the same way. With him, alone, and unwanted.

And that is why I think this will be a turning point for Rick. He’s tried running, tried ignoring, tried dominating his problems, but his problem is himself.

He is finally seeing that he needs to do something different.

And I think he’ll do it, because this Rick is the Original. And I think this Rick DOES care.
