This realization has a powerful effect on Beth, the shockwaves of which are sure to be felt in season four and beyond. During the course of Rick and Beth’s search for a missing boy named Tommy (voiced by a perfectly berserk Thomas Middleditch), it’s made clearer than ever before that Beth is her father’s daughter: A formidable, dangerous semi-sociopath, whose aggression was the only reason Tommy ended up the incestuous cannibal king of Froopyland to begin with.

Fast forward your interdimensional cable boxes to today, and we find ourselves on the wrong side of season three, staring down the barrel of yet another long wait for more Rick and Morty. Poopy Butthole teased “ Rick and Morty season three in, like, a year and a half … or longer,” and over the course of the following 545 days-almost exactly a year and a half, actually-anticipation for the Adult Swim show’s triumphant return grew from a hushed buzz to a deafening roar.
Long ago, at the end of season two, a post-gunshot wound Mr.
Rick and Morty’s third season did not disappoint, and that’s saying a whole hell of a lot.
