Season 9 doesn’t waste any time diving back into the remnants of the Citadel arc and the chaos surrounding Evil Morty (Harry Belden), as the season premiere throws fans right back into the messy, multiversal nightmare that is Rick’s complicated legacy with his eye-patch-wearing nemesis. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 9 Episode 1, “There’s Something About Morty.”
Between the nifty lethal gadgets, existential dread, and the usual helping of dimension-hopping insanity, the premiere immediately reminds viewers why Evil Morty remains one of the most dangerous wild cards in the Rick and Morty universe.
