"possession is nine tenths of my ass!"

Bonus: Memory Rick and his sculptures

Others have pointed out all the times that Rick DID jump in a hole for Morty or tried to protect him, but it struck me that Rick also has a new "touch my grandson and die" policy in season seven. Morty knows about it, and he's so confident that Rick is serious that he uses it to get whatever he want from alien mobsters.

And yet, he STILL thinks that Rick doesn't care about him. Damn, seasons 1-4 Rick really did a number on him.

if i had a nickel for every time Rick and Jerry fused in some sort of way, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice...

My favorite part of episode 2 is how much they had fun.

I love making the bby girl tilt his head, u can definitely see a pattern,, making Jerry with small dots for eyes feels so right

featuring a shitty recreation of a part that made me giggle in the jerrick episode (or maybe it’s just the fact that morty and Rick finally interacted)

plus the actual clip vv

Morty was a bad bitch this episode im really proud of him

Can we all appreciate Ian Cardoni's voice acting in the new cold open? It's very impressive how he can do not only Rick's but also Jerry's speech patterns so well and convincingly, especially after having such a short time to re-record all the voice lines. He sounds exactly like Jerry's manner of speech while still doing Rick's voice, which is a famously difficult thing to do anyway, but even more so considering that he hasn't worked closely with Chris Parnell to get his Jerry impression down?

I was thinking about this scene in Total Rickall, and man, this would NOT happen today. Morty went from panicking during an alien experiment to calmly telling a group of mobsters that Rick's going to kill them if they don't treat him like a king.

Something I've been thinking about that I never see brought up: We all know Morty saw Rick's whole crybaby backstory in the S5 finale... but Jerry has seen as much, if not more, of Rick's memory. Of what he's seen, how much does he remember?

The two have been merged in some way twice now, first in S3 ep 5, "The Whirly-Dirly Conspiracy", and more recently in S7 ep 2, "The Jerrick Trap". There have to be some lingering effects from that, right?

More below the cut, and I warn you, this gets LONG.

Maybe Jerry wouldn't necessarily remember anything from that first encounter where his consciousness, Rick's, and that of the large alien trying to kill them were all intertwined - the "I just spent an eternity merged with your essence and I'm already back to thinking you're an asshole" line implies the effects of said merging wear off quickly. So, any memories/knowledge gained then might also fade away fast. But even if he forgot almost instantly, Jerry has to have seen Rick's past (a full two seasons before Morty did!)

Now... The Jerrick Trap is where this gets interesting. Rick and Jerry spent days - maybe weeks - with their minds shuffled as Burger and Fries. Followed by at least a full day as Jerricky. While it's questionable, even unlikely, the events in Whirly-Dirly had lasting effects, there is no way, after all that, these two don't know EVERYTHING about each other.

Of course, there's, I'd say, a 50/50 chance Rick erased Jerry's memories of the entire incident, specifically because of that. He let Morty see the crybaby backstory, and Summer & the Beths have at least some vague knowledge of Prime. But I can see him drawing the line at Jerry just... being able to see all those memories as clearly as Rick himself can.

Which brings us to: Memory Rick! (and something else I never see brought up). Even if Jerry doesn't share Rick's memories for any other reason, would he automatically have them through Memory Rick being marooned in his brain? I'm thinking yes, but since Memory Rick is sentient, he *might* be able to block Jerry from accessing them.

Anyway, if Jerry has retained any of Rick's memories, I really hope the show addresses it at some point. It's actually one of my most-hoped-for-in-the-remaining-seasons things.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this. I am sorry this post got so long, and if you are seeing this, thank you for reading my essay. 😅
