Ep 6. The Ricks Must Be Crazy

In season 2, episode 6 of Rick and Morty, titled "The Ricks Must Be Crazy," the viewer is taken on a wild and bizarre adventure as Rick and Morty traverse through different dimensions. The episode begins with Morty driving Rick's flying car, which they soon discover has a "microverse battery" that powers the car's infinite energy source. Rick explains that in this mini-planet, there is a race of beings that he has enslaved to power the car's battery, and they have created their own civilization within the battery world.

However, Morty is not too thrilled with the idea of enslaving an entire civilization to power their car. As the duo continues to argue about the ethics of the situation, Rick takes Morty into the battery world to show him how it works – and to get Morty away from his objections. Within the battery world, Rick introduces Morty to a scientist named Zeep, who Rick has hired to create a smaller and more efficient battery to replace the current microverse battery.

Zeep is proud of his creation and explains that his world is powered by a battery that he himself created. The battery is the size of a shoebox and operates an entire society, meaning that the civilizations within the battery world are not oppressed like in the microverse world. However, when Rick learns of Zeep's battery, he is not impressed, as it is not a limitless source of energy like his current battery.

In a fit of rage, Rick proclaims that he will never use Zeep's battery and proceeds to destroy the world he has created, leading to an epic battle between Zeep and Rick. Meanwhile, Morty accidentally enters the battery world within the battery world, revealing the infinite nature of the universe.

As the battle rages on, Morty uncovers a side of Rick he never knew existed. The side of Rick that has grown increasingly cynical and disinterested in his own world. Morty tries to convince Rick that the world they are in is beautiful and worth preserving, but Rick remains convinced that the world within the battery world will never change and it will only remain stuck in a perpetual loop.

The episode ends with Rick and Morty returning to their world, with Rick slightly more defeated and Morty realizing that his grandfather is not always as easy-going as he appears. "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" is an episode filled with thought-provoking concepts, whimsical humor, and thrilling plot twists, all of which make for an entertaining and unique viewing experience.
