Um, hello?

You weren't followed, were ya?

I don't think so.

Whatever. Come on in.

So, hey...?

I do owe Rick a favor or two.

Oh, no surprise.

Rick has a knack for getting people in his debt.

That key goes to a coin locker at Sumthang Station

about 20 light years away from here on Planet Wutevar.

So...

do I take a train there or what?

It's a wormhole station.

An operation manual?

I am so pumped right now!

It kinda feels like we've been in a similar battle at the house before.

You know, I had the same feeling, Summer.

Even though I don't have any memories like that, it's like my body remembers.

How strange.

It may be legit.

For all we know, Dad just erased our memories or something.

Totally plausible.

You seem to know your way around a gun.

Yes, I should prove to be pretty useful.

You're way more reliable than Morty, that's for sure!

So, is this thing what they're after?

- What exactly is it? - Don't fiddle with it.

That thing could annihilate the world in an instant.

Well, even if those bastards get a chance to use it,

they'll just vanish along with the rest of us.

Why the hell would you make something so dangerous, Rick?

It wasn't me.

I mean, it was, but a Rick from a different dimension.

Hold on, you mean the Rick with long hair?

You've met him?

Yeah, in the VR game you made.

That wasn't VR.

I meant for it to be virtual,

but after I used some portal liquid to make the experience seem more real,

a different dimension got mixed in.

My Morty is already dead.

Wait, so it was all real?

That was the Rick who told me about Elle.

Well... did he fill you in on the details of this thing?

Nope. I don't know anything about it.

That figures.

He's forcing me to be the bearer of bad news.

What bad news?

You'll find out eventually.

I mean, we're obviously gonna end up in a situation where I have to explain it.

And it's better to get this over with as soon as possible, so...

screw it, I'll just tell you now.

Don't blame me, okay?

Remember I'm not the one who made this, it was the shaggy Rick!

Just tell me already!

You see the glowing haze of light that's in here?

This is Elle's real body.

This gizmo was originally made in shaggy Rick's world,

but after it got brought over into this dimension,

its corresponding antimatter was born.

And that, is the Elle who you're currently dating.

Matter and antimatter can't exist simultaneously.

So, we can kiss this annoying gizmo goodbye

if Elle goes through mutual annihilation with it.

That'll produce some pure energy, but not enough to destroy the world.

And Elle?

What happens to her?

Like I said, mutual annihilation.

That means she disappears.

You've gotta be kidding! The hell is that? Seriously?

Dumbass! Keep your voice down!

Quit crying, Morty!

That's not going to happen!

I felt too damn sorry for you to go through with it.

I'll come up with something. I haven't yet,

but I'm thinking it over for your sake.

We'll talk more later!

Oh dear, what's wrong, Morty?

It's nothing! We were just watching "Dumbo" a minute ago.

Elle!

We've got more important things to worry about.

They could attack us at any time now.

Where's Jerry?

I sent him off to buy us some extra gear.

He should be bringing a secret weapon back.

Sounds like a big job. Can he handle it?

Jerry knows how to get things done when the chips are down. Trust me!

Turn off the lights, Summer!

This is the Galactic Federation.

We are here to arrest three of the universe's most wanted criminals.

For your own safety, citizens within a 10 mile radius of here

should evacuate immediately.

We will not be held responsible for the safety of any bystanders

who intentionally choose to ignore this warning.

I repeat, we are here to arrest three of the universe's most wanted criminals.

For your own safety...

We've got a little time while they allow people to evacuate.

Get yourselves ready to fight!

Wow! This looks badass!

It even comes with a manual!

No time to read all that!

Just let Beth handle it.

I mean the Beth from space.

Hey, Space Mom! You gotta let me pilot this thing.

Pretty please?

Sure. That's what I was planning on.

Since I'm gonna go take that thing out.

You can come with, if you like.

Actually, scratch that.

Please come with me.

You'll be a big help.

Perfect timing. Let Elle go with her.

- But... - Nothing bad's gonna happen to her.

We'll handle everything down here! So you help Beth with her plan!

Elle... come back safe, okay?

I promise that I'll be back. Don't do anything crazy, Morty.

There's nothing to worry about down here, we have Rick.

Atta girl, Summer! You've got this!

Don't think, just feel.

Okay, Space Mom!

This is so freaking cool!

We gotta hurry, too!

Space Beth is leaving the Earth's atmosphere!

And she's accompanied by Agent Elle!

Their ship is headed your way, Commander!

Hah, the fools! Just like moths to the fire.

Let them pass! We'll take care of them here!

I want all other forces to focus on Rick!

Begin the assault! Take Rick alive!

And bring the bomb he has back to me without so much as a scratch!

Bomb?

We're attacking him when he's armed with a bomb?

Shut up! Follow your orders!

Why do we always get the short end of the stick?

Holy crap!

Come in, this is Space Beth.

Space Beth is requesting emergency reinforcements!

Don't bother.

Do you want to save Elle?

Yeah, of course!

I'm going to protect our home!

Then we need to go see the prick who made this.

Let Summer and the others handle things here.

But we can't leave Mom and everyone to fend for themselves!

Look, if those Federation assholes get their hands on this thing,

then it's all over.

There won't be a damn thing we can do.

I have a trick up my sleeve, though!

So don't worry about things here!

This house is under my protection, bitches!

Seems like Summer can take care of this by herself, huh?

Jerry! I've got a different crazy-ass weapon for you.

- C'mon! - Hey! What's the deal, Dad?

Morty and I gotta go take care of something important!

Hold down the fort!

Seriously?

What the?

Is that one of Dad's memories?

It's from a Jerry you've never met.

He can handle things here. Let's go!

Open fire!

Shoot them down if you have to!

They're signaling a surrender, sir!

What?

What are they planning?

Nobody's home.

Not even his space cruiser is here, so he must be out.

Okay, next place.

I really didn't want to take you there, but whatever.

- Where are we...? - Morty?

Oh shit!

What's the matter, Rick?

It's gonna be a pain if we get spotted. You're kinda dead in this universe.

Not actually you.

He's talking about my grandson.

Seriously?

This isn't my first rodeo.

Been a long time since I last saw you.

Got any hair left on the back of your head?

I just ran into you the other day. You're the one who got old!

So this was your handywork after all, huh?

Rick?

Why'd you do it?

You still have your memories of the previous universe, don't you?

So why repeat the process?

Did I do something to change your mind?

There was just no escaping it.

Despite my knowing everything.

But after meeting you,

I was able to choose a path where I don't actually use that device again.

You planned to pin the whole thing on me from the start, huh?

Yeah, I guess so!

I don't know how many hundreds or thousands of times we've done this,

but I'm putting an end to it.

A life that feels like déjà vu is the best result we can get,

no matter how big the fluctuations become.

The errors don't get any more significant than that.

It's pointless. Dumb.

A loop of utter stupidity.

I've told you before, haven't I?

It's your choice to make.

It's what I chose to do, but was it of my own free will?

Who gives a shit?

The responsibility all falls on you, anyway.

Now tell me how to deal with this thing.

And save Elle!

She set this whole thing up.

The timeline of this dimension

getting intertwined with the one from your dimension

was probably caused by that device.

But considering when we first met

and the moment when I left the device on top of your desk...

the timing was just too perfect.

Was it a coincidence?

I won't deny it's possible, but hard to believe given that you're here now,

plus the fact that I have memories of the previous universe.

Then add her appearance in your world on top of that...

While the universe was repeating in an infinite loop,

what if these layers of coincidences are something she was waiting for?

You're insane!

Doesn't that just make it all part of her plan?

I knew it...

I just knew we'd see each other again!

In which case, that device no longer has the power to reverse the flow of time.

Because it doesn't need to anymore.

Elle defied fate itself and physically manifested in your universe...

A battle so lonely that it would drive anyone insane,

but she got through on sheer tenacity.

This is literally hopeless.

A meaningless gesture.

I'm just assuming that there's significance

in doing something meaningless.

Here's a message from yourself:

"There is meaning to be found in the meaningless."

Yeah, I remember saying that.

But not even changing the universe can overcome fate's design.

The only way someone can beat their fate is by accepting it.

If you activate that device here, then this whole universe will vanish.

The loop will finally come to an end.

Then Elle can live alongside Morty in your universe

without fear of mutual annihilation.

The idea isn't to redo this universe, it's to destroy it.

And with an infinite amount of parallel universes,

this one being wiped out is hardly significant.

You're saying that's her master plan?

Who knows.

But right now we can reshape fate.

What do you want to do, Morty?

She might want you to be the one who decides.

I don't mind holding onto it for you,

but I'm pretty sure my dad will never come back here.

How about that.

Was this all part of your plan, too?

Or did you just show up here by coincidence?

There is no such thing as coincidence.

There is significance in everything that happens.
