How Did ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 8 End? What to Remember Before Season 9

Rick confronts his grief, Beth and Space Beth shift again, and Evil Morty’s escape leaves the multiverse in a more unstable state.

  • During Season 8, Rick C-137 decided to purge all memories of his late wife, Diane, from his mind, sending a sentient Memory Rick from "Rickternal Friend-shine" of the "Spotless Mort" into Beth's mind to hide.
  • Following the death of Rick Prime, Evil Morty successfully escaped the Central Finite Curve and stole the Omega Device schematics, becoming the dominant, free entity in the multiverse.
  • In "The CuRicksous Case" of "Bethjamin Button," both Beth and Space Beth became young again, while Summer matured into a 30-something tech expert after a 17-year Matrix-esque simulation by Rick.
  • Morty appears less tethered to Rick and his trauma by season's end, becoming more of his own person after reconnecting with his Gazorpian son in "Morty Daddy."
  • Adult Swim will return with another 10 episodes, with the Season 9 Premiere scheduled for Sunday, May 24, at 11/10c as the series prepares to send the fandom into further chaos.
