The episode begins with an introduction to the show and its characters, giving viewers a refresher on the intelligent but alcoholic scientist Rick, his naive and impressionable grandson Morty, the dysfunctional Smith family and their interdimensional adventures. Then, the hosts delve into the first theory - that Rick is actually Morty's father.
They explore how this theory has been teased throughout the show, with Rick's fondness for Morty often contradicting his nihilistic and emotionally detached personality. They also speculate on how this revelation could impact the rest of the show and change the dynamic between the characters.
Moving on, the episode discusses the theory that Rick Sanchez is aware that he is in a TV show. The hosts examine the many fourth-wall-breaking moments in the show, including the famous opening credits sequence, and how these moments could be interpreted as Rick being aware of his existence as a fictional character.
The third theory explores the possibility that Rick is always one step ahead of everyone else. The hosts highlight how Rick has often predicted events before they occur and make connections between seemingly unrelated events. They examine how this theory fits in with the overarching theme of the show - that Rick is a genius who often outsmarts his enemies and makes use of his intellect to get his way.
The episode also delves into the theory that Morty is actually a clone, created by Rick for some unknown reason. They explore how Morty's character has evolved throughout the show, and how this theory could explain his sudden changes in personality and abilities.
Other theories discussed in the episode include the possibility that Rick's daughter, Beth, is actually a clone, and the theory that Rick and Morty are the same person, but from different timelines.
Throughout the episode, the hosts provide insights and analysis of each theory, including possible evidence supporting each one, as well as countering arguments against them. They also provide interesting and little-known facts about the show and its behind-the-scenes workings.
