The two investigate a local robbery in a downtrodden part of the Citadel, where after illegally harassing two Mortys at gunpoint, Cop Morty gains intel that the Morty town locos did it. It’s a novice Rick’s first day as a cop while he is paired with a pot-bellied veteran Morty officer who is generally mean to his own kind, Mortys. The best thing about this arc apart from this ridiculously twisted arc, apart from the obvious socio-economic (or should I say rickonomic) commentary is that it’s narrated by Sam Elliott.

Just as he is doing so, he double crosses rebel Rick to trap him instead of Simple Rick, replaying the memory of being free in his head over and over again to make his brain secrete the secret ingredient for Simple Rick’s “freedom” wafers. The owner of the establishment appears and appears to heed to him and agree, rewarding rebel Rick with his freedom. One of the Ricks that has been working in the factory for more than 15 years now rebels and shoots his supervisor, holding a vegetative Simple Rick hostage in exchange for his freedom. Simple Rick’s is a wafer company active in the Citadel, a rip-off of any big corporate conglomerate if you may, but one that produces wafers laced with secretions from a “simple Rick”, one who took to the simple joys of life and has a memory with his daughter fed and replayed to him for his brain to secrete the Simple Rick’s wafers secret ingredient. The narrative from here branches off into four separate ones, and meets in the end for the big twist. The divide between Ricks and Mortys grows wider, the Ricks in the citadel are dissatisfied owing to their own innate nature being stifled by Ricks in authority, Rick-less Mortys have turned to crime, and all this while the newly democratic Citadel preps for its presidential elections with five Ricks against one Morty from the Morty party facing impossible odds. The focus then shifts to the Citadel of Ricks, now being reconstructed without a council of Ricks since they were murdered by Rick C-137. While Rick and Morty concede their efforts to be fruitless and return, Rick and Morty from C-137 despise the idea of millions of Ricks and Mortys living in the Citadel, blinded by the idea of it, and leave for their adventure. The episode begins with Rick and Morty prepping for an adventure in the underwater city of Atlantis just when they are paid a visit by Rick and Morty from another dimension looking to secure contributions for the redevelopment of the Citadel of Ricks, only to realise that it was this Rick from C-137 that destroyed the Citadel in the first place, in the first episode of this season.
