- Title: Rick and Mory – A Ricker Runs Through It
- wiki: link
Exposing a betrayal of trust, in “A Ricker Runs Through It” Morty (Harry Belden) discovers Rick‘s (Ian Cardoni) cool friend Reese (Owen Wilson) who the duo enjoying hanging out with from time to time is nothing more than an android Rick whipped up in his lab. Reese purpose is to be a password authenticator created to show up when he gets so blackout drunk he gets locked out of the lab. Following a standard formula of the show, a hurt Morty attempts to help Reese (allowing us to venture into more of the subterranean levels of the basement) only to cause more harm and almost get the family killed when Reese, and Rick’s passwords, fall into the hands of vindictive space hogs.
For as odd as a concept as Reese turns out to be, there’s fun to be had here in Owens’ guest-appearance as the swell friend turned against the Smith family (and the epilogue of how events repeat themselves leading to Morty’s rash actions is certainly a highlight). The other standout moments involve the family fighting for their lives against various furniture and appliances and Rick’s safe-cracking expert brought in to get to Morty and Reese who takes over Jerry‘s (Chris Parnell) body making him dumber but also more useful than usual.
