Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Morty is trapped and Rick needs to save him, but to do so, Summer must do a Die Hard. This won’t be easy because she’s never seen it.
Our Take
A fun Die Hard riff that mostly works because Summer’s ignorance of the source material is the joke, not just a lazy reference. Rick’s side plot gives the episode real emotional stakes, which lands better than expected. Some gags run long and the pacing sags in the middle, but the ending earns it. Worth your time if you like the show’s genre parodies.
