"Rick and Morty" Season 3 Episodes Quiz

Answer: Resetting the value of the central currency to zero

Rick escapes from captivity by transferring his consciousness to a Galactic Federation agent. When the Council of Ricks finds out that he has been captured by the Federation, they send a team to assassinate him to ensure that the Federation does not get access to any of their secrets, but he manages to transfer his consciousness again several times to other Ricks.

He then teleports the Citadel of Ricks into the prison he just escaped from, sparking an all-out conflict between the Citadel and the Federation. During the chaos, he gains access to a Federation computer and resets the currency so that it is worth zero of itself! Despite how nonsensical this sounds, this causes a crisis that collapses the Federation's economy and government.

In the episode's B-plot, Rick's family is adjusting to life on an Earth controlled by the Galactic Federation. Jerry seems happy, as he reports that he just received his sixth promotion this week and he still doesn't even know what his job is! Beth, however, is unhappy, because the Federation's advanced technology means that her skills as a horse surgeon are no longer needed, as horses now live longer than tortoises. Later, when the Galactic government collapses, all the aliens on Earth quickly leave. Beth is delighted when Rick returns accompanied by Morty and Summer. Jerry, on the other hand, is less than pleased to see Rick, and gives Beth an ultimatum - she must choose between him or Rick.

In the next scene, she calmly tells Rick that "Jerry is going to spend some time divorced." After Beth leaves the room, Rick reveals to Morty that this development was part of his master plan to become patriarch of the family, particularly as Jerry crossed him in the Season 2 finale. The title is a parody of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption," which involves an escape from prison.

Answer: Desecration

Specifically, it is to remind them "that there are no gods." Earlier in the episode, Rick was excited to find a small flake of the isotope; the rock contains twenty pounds of it, so he accepts the Deathstalkers' invitation to form an alliance with them so that he can later steal the rock. Meanwhile, both Morty and Summer deal with their anger about their parents' separation, mostly in very violent ways, before each finding a more peaceful way to come to terms with the situation.
The title is a parody of the movie "Romancing the Stone."

Answer: Jaguar

After changing himself into a pickle, things go awry for Rick when he gets washed down into the sewer. Despite the handicap of having no limbs, he very cleverly manages to jury-rig an exoskeleton, first from cockroach them from rat parts. Contriving to get out of the sewer, he ends up in the foreign agency where the guards attack him, even though he just wants to go home.

After a fierce but inconclusive battle with Jaguar, he proves to the latter that the agency director has betrayed him, so Jaguar and Rick join forces to take the director down. Ricks finally shows up at the family therapy session, despite all his troubles to avoid it, as Beth has taken his anti-pickle serum that he needs to change back. Susan Sarandon guest starred as the family therapist, Dr. Wong.

Answer: Saw

The Vindicators parody several popular superhero teams, particularly the Avengers, and Morty is excited to receive an invitation to join them on an adventure. The Vindicators have gathered to fight a foe called Worldender who is supposed to be terrifying formidable, but Rick kills him all by himself while drunk. Rick becomes the villain of the episode as he set a series of traps for the Vindicators while drunk the previous night.

However, the next morning he was unable to remember what he had done and accompanies the Morty and the Vindicators as they work through these traps, each of which plays a video of a drunken Rick taunting them. One of the traps involves solving a puzzle that is explicitly compared to a scene from the "Saw" franchise. Morty even says, "Rick, is this a Saw thing? Are you seriously Saw-ing the Vindicators?" At the end of the episode there is a cameo by the musician Logic who performs at a concert organized by Rick, also while he was drunk!

Answer: An immortality field

Rick takes Jerry to a luxury alien resort that is protected by an immortality field that resurrects people if anything fatal happens to them. Some of the guests amuse themselves by deliberately killing each other, knowing that they will get better in seconds. On the way there, Jerry thinks Rick has taken him away to kill him, but Rick reveals that Morty was worried that Jerry might become suicidal after separating from Beth, and convinced Rick to take Jerry on an adventure to cheer him up. For Rick to agree to this is an about-face, as he stated at the end of the first episode of the season that he would not be having an adventures with Jerry. Perhaps he should have kept to this decision, as Jerry betrays him later in the episode by agreeing to help one of Rick's enemies assassinate him! The resort features a roller coaster called the Whirly Dirly - part of the ride briefly dips outside the immortality field, where Rick will be momentarily vulnerable. Jerry has a change of heart at the last moment when Rick spontaneously apologizes for interfering in Jerry's marriage and the assassination attempt fails.

There is a remarkable scene later in the episode in which Rick, Jerry, and the assassin get caught in a time warp that causes their consciousness to merge together for what subjectively seems like an aeon, which is depicted by a sequence of extraordinary psychedelic and mystical images that pay homage to the visionary art of Alex Grey. Meanwhile, Summer attempts to use one of Rick's devices to enlarge her breasts to impress a boy she likes, but accidentally turns herself into a giant. Beth tries to solve the problem herself without calling Rick for help but only makes matter worse when she turns Summer inside out.

Answer: Stockbroker

At the beginning of the episode, Rick and Morty undergo a harrowing adventure that leaves them both traumatized. Deciding they need time to recover, they attend a nice spa with many relaxing treatments. One of these involves entering a machine that removes all of the toxic aspects of one's psychological makeup.

Afterwards, their personalities seem to have changed for the better, as Rick becomes pleasant and courteous, whereas Morty loses his insecurities and becomes confident and charismatic. Morty goes on to become a successful stockbroker, and there is a scene parodying the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" in which Morty gives a speech that persuades a client to invest heavily in some dodgy stock. Meanwhile, it turns out though that the toxic sides of Rick and Morty have become self-aware entities that continue to live inside the part of the machine where all the toxins are stored.

These contrive to escape, leading to a dramatic battle between the toxic and non-toxic versions of Rick.

Answer: Simple Rick

This episode involves a series of adventures in the Citadel of Ricks, a place introduced in Season 1, inhabited by countless versions of Rick and Morty from across many different alternate realities. The commercial shows a scene in which Simple Rick is filming little Beth with a birthday cake, who says, "I love daddy!" while Rick sheds a tear of happiness.

A voiceover says, "We captured that moment. We run it on a loop through Simple Rick's mind." It is revealed that he is actually a prisoner in the citadel being forced to constantly relive this scene with Beth.

He is hooked up to a machine that extracts the brain chemicals produced by this scene, which are used to flavor a wafer cookie that is produced and sold to the residents of the Citadel.

The commercial has the slogan, "Come home to the impossible flavor of your own completion: come home to Simple Rick's." The episode is notable for the return of the character known as "Evil Morty," who appeared in the Season One episode, "Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind." The Citadel is having its first democratic election, and in an unexpected turn of events, Evil Morty wins and becomes the new president!

Answer: Truth Tortoise

The episode begins with Rick and Morty being chased through an MC Escher inspired place with upside down stairways by someone who looks like Dream of the Endless from "The Sandman" comic, who is demanding that they return the Truth Tortoise. Rick warns Morty not to look into the tortoise's eyes, as he will then know everything, but it is too late.

When Morty is looking at the tortoise, it makes an unintelligible statement that when played backwards says, "I am a Beatle, Paul is dead!" (This alludes to the infamous rumours in the 1960s that one of the Beatle's albums contained a hidden message that when played backwards said that Paul had died.) Morty complains that he can't stand having the Truth Tortoise in his head, so Rick offers to erase his memory.

This leads to the revelation that rick has erased Morty's memory on countless occasions, followed by a series of hilarious flashbacks to incidents that were either too disturbing and traumatic for Morty to bear or that were humiliating for Rick and that he preferred Morty to forget.

Answer: Froopyland

A news report mentions that a local man is about to executed for supposedly killing and eating his son Tommy, who was Beth's childhood friend. Beth mentions that for years she used to tell herself that Tommy had gotten lost in the "magical realm of Froopyland." She explains that this was her make-believe world and that even though she knows "the name's stupid, it was so real to me." Overhearing this, Rick is offended by this insult to the land he created in another dimension just for her to play in (and keep her out of trouble, as she was a "scary kid" with sociopathic tendencies she inherited from her father). Beth is shocked by this revelation, so Rick takes her there to look for Tommy, who is still alive after all these years.

It turns out that Beth trapped him there when she became jealous of how much attention his father paid him. Beth manages to stop the execution of Tommy's father just in time using a clone of Tommy that she and Rick made.

At the end of the episode, Beth has an identity crisis, so Rick offers to make a clone of her that will take her place at home while she takes off to see the universe. Whether she decides to accept this offer is not revealed and the final scene with Beth is deliberately ambiguous about whether she is the original or a clone. Meanwhile, when Morty and Summer visit Jerry, he demonstrates telekinetic powers that he has learned from an alien huntress he has started dating named Keara.

This relationship quickly deteriorates, with Keara turning violent when he tries to break up with her. The title of the episode is a parody of a TV series called "The ABC's of Death."

Answer: Doctor Who

Rick previously worked with the President in the Season 2 Episode "Get Schwifty." Rick and the President have a falling out after Rick and Morty decided that a mission the President asked them to perform was lame and went home to play "Minecraft" instead.

This leads to a series of tense encounters between Rick and the President, both of whom act in a stubborn and petulant manner, culminating in a violent confrontation in the White House in which the President tries unsuccessfully to arrest Rick. One of the President's men, exasperated by Rick's arrogance, expostulates that "he's not a god!" Rick's reply is that they don't know who is or what he can do, comparing himself to Doctor Who in terms of the extraordinary powers he has acquired through his mastery of sci-fi technologies. During the episode it is revealed that the White House contains several embarrassing secrets, including the "Kennedy sex tunnels," "the Truman cocaine lounge," "the McKinley hooker dump," and "the Lincoln slave colosseum" - because "he didn't free them all!" Meanwhile, following on from the events of the previous episode, Beth has an existential crisis because she suspects she might be a clone. Rick reassures her that she is not, but then spoils things by letting on her that he would not actually tell her if she was, exacerbating her doubts.

She turns to Jerry for comfort and they decide to reconcile, to Rick's chagrin. The title of the episode is a parody of "The Manchurian Candidate," although the episode's storyline has very little resemblance to this movie.
