What to Know

Critics Consensus

The serially underutilized Beth gets her due in an installment that suffers from a middling subplot, but thrives on its central interrogation of lineage and toxicity -- all capped off by a haunting cliffhanger.

Beth and Rick's half-adventure was a revealing, bonkers trip through Froopy Land, Go to Full Review Michael Walsh AV Club 09/25/2017

Rick promised us the bleakest season yet in this year's premiere, and he sort of undersold that. This was yet another dark installment, where instead of Beth and Rick's relationship being healed in anyway it just got worse. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 09/25/2017

One of the more surprising and heartening developments of this episode is finding Rick once again fighting through his rough exterior and begrudgingly admitting to care about someone. Go to Full Review Evan Macy Metro 02/15/2019
In the wake of so many spectacular other worlds in prior episodes, it seemed Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland tried too hard here. Go to Full Review Sean Fitz-Gerald and Eric Vilas-Boas Thrillist 02/15/2019
We went almost three full seasons without an episode devoted to Beth, matriarch of Rick and Morty, spawn of the multiverse's smartest bastard, but damn, did the show deliver. Go to Full Review Calum Marsh National Post 02/15/2019
A cartoon tour de force that keeps getting better. It's uproariously funny, written with sparkling wit and screwball brio. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
