This episode looks like it was written by writers who were fighting over what to put in their episode and that's why it turns out to be a complete mess. Morty is a hypocrite, he goes on his knees and begs Rick to replace him, so Rick does that and Morty the ungrateful little brat starts crying and playing the victim.
Morty seems more like Season 1 Morty now. Naive and desperate for Rick's approval. It's like the writers didn't even watch seasons 3-4 to know how much more rebellious and hateful he acts towards Rick. His story also crosses over with predictable and stupidity and goes against his whole character development. Why would Morty help somebody break out of a mental asylum? Did he de-age 10 years? How did Morty get so OP with zero training this season as well? Clearly Beth got into the body of this kid because he's now a complete 180 from how he was when Rick turned himself in. Morty, while sad, accepted it, here, he's bawling his eyes out and clinging to him not to leave. Morty spent this entire series bemoaning about how bad Rick is and how he ruined his life and here, he's acting like he's the best thing ever, like whaaaaat???
Speaking of OP, Rick is also OP because he somehow all of a sudden can use wires that come out of his arm. This is not science anymore, Rick and Morty is fantasy confirmed. The crow idea is fine on paper but it could've been executed much better.
There are so many problems with the ending. First of all, it was way too short to even be emotional. Rick didn't say goodbye to the rest of his family and how would loved ones break apart without a hug or kiss? That could've been so heart-warming to watch. It just reminds you that this whole season was rushed and needed more time in the oven. It was emotionally manipulative just to fake break up Rick and Morty, the premise the whole show is based around. After seeing Rick and Morty break up so many times even though this was done in a more emotional way, it still is tiresome to watch by this point.
This episode was sooo disappointing. It wasn't really that funny, relying more on soap opera ish drama than humor. The crows could've been played as a tongue in cheek joke like it seemed like they were going for but the whole episode is played for drama instead. It had the opportunity to dive into the complicated relationship between Rick and Morty but instead, is just another one of those episodes where they fight and break up no big deal and then go on stupid adventures.
