Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Summer and Rick dine OUT, broh. Fancy restaurant stuff. Morty reconnects with someone from his past.
Our Take
A welcome change of pace that hands Summer the spotlight, and she runs with it. The fancy restaurant setup lets Rick be genuinely funny without the usual sci-fi chaos, and the Morty subplot lands some surprisingly sincere emotional beats. A couple of jokes miss, but the pacing stays tight and the ending earns its payoff. One of the stronger outings this season and well worth your time.
