So, hey.

Hmm? Aah!

-I owe Rick a favor or two.

-That's no surprise.

Rick has an annoying way
of making people feel

like they owe him favors.
-Here.

That key goes to a coin locker
at Something Station

about 20 light-years away
from here on Planet Whatever.

-So...what? Do I take
a train or a shuttle?

-Jesus.
It's a wormhole station.

-I am so pumped right now!

It kind of feels like we've been
in a similar battle to the death

at our house before.
-You know, I have

the same feeling, Summer.

I don't remember doing things.

It's like my body remembers
doing it. So peculiar.

-It could be legitimate.

For all we know, Dad could
have just erased our memories

or something.
-Totally plausible.

[ Weapon c*ck ]

-If I recall, you know
your way around a blaster.

-Yes. I should prove
to be pretty useful.

-You are way more useful
than Morty. That's for sure.

[ Rattling ]

-So is this the thing
that they're after?

W-What exactly is it?
-Quit messing around, Morty.

That thing can annihilate
the world in an instant.

-Hmm!

-Well, even if those b*stards
get a chance to use it,

they'll just vanish
along with the rest of us.

-Why the hell would you make
something so dangerous, Rick?!

-Jesus Christ!

It wasn't me, but a Rick
from a different dimension.

-Hmm. Hold on.

You mean the Rick
with long hair?

-Hm. So you met him?
-Yeah.

-In the VR game you made.
-Except that wasn't VR.

I meant for it to be virtual,
but I-I used some portal liquid

to make the experience
seem more real,

and a different dimension
got mixed in.

-And my Morty's already dead.

-Hm! Aw, geez!
Y-You're saying that was real?

Man, that's the Rick who
told me about Elle and stuff.

-Well, did he fill you in
on the details of this thing?

-No He just said some
confusing time junk.

-Well, that figures.

He's forcing me
to be the bearer of bad news.

-W-Wait! W-What bad news?

-You'll find out eventually.
-Hm?

-I mean, we're obviously
gonna end up

where I have to explain it,
and it's better

to just get this over with,
so screw it.

I'll just tell you now.
The whole thing.

-Okay.

Don't blame me, okay?

Remember I'm not the one
who made this.

It was the Rewind Rick.
-Mm-hmm. Please quit stalling!

-You see the glowing hazel light
that's in there?

-Mm-hmm.
-This is Elle's real body.

-Huh?
-This device was originally made

in Rewind Rick's universe,

but after it got brought over
into this dimension,

its corresponding antimatter
was born.

And that is the Elle who
you're currently trying to bone.

[ Twinkling ]

-Uh...
-Matter and antimatter

can't exist simultaneously.

We can kiss
this annoying device goodbye

if Elle goes through
mutual annihilation.

That'll produce
some pure energy,

but not enough to destroy
the world and everything.

-What about Elle?!

[ Twinkling ]

W-What happens to her?

-Mutual annihilation, Morty.

Means she disappears.

-[ Whimpers ]
A-Are you serious, Rick?!

Are you out of your
freaking mind?!

-Dumbass?! Keep your voice down!

Stop crying, Morty!
That's not gonna happen!

I feel too damned sorry
for you to go through with it.

I'm a scientist.
I'll come up with something.

I haven't yet, but I'm thinking
it over for you, Morty.

-[ Whoosh ]
-[ Grunts ]

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

[ Morty sobbing ]

-Oh, Morty. You're crying.
Are you okay?

-[ Whimpers ]

-[Chuckling] It's nothing!

We were just talking
about bodies changing.

-Hm! Oh, Elle!

-[ Gasps ]

-[ Morty whimpering ]
-Hmm?

-Right now
there's more to worry about.

They could attack us
at any moment.

-Where's Jerry?

-I sent him off
to buy us some extra gear.

He should be bringing
a secret weapon back.

-I don't know. That sounds
like a big responsibility.

-Jerry knows how to get things
done when the chips are down.

[Burps] Trust me.

[ Gasps ] Quick! Turn off
the lights, Summer!

[ Warbling ]

-This is the
Galactic Federation.

We are here to arrest
three of the universe's

most wanted criminals.

For your own safety,
citizens within

a 10-mile radius of here

appreciate your help.

-But she --
-Nothing bad's gonna
happen to her.

We'll handle everything
down here on Earth!

So you help Beth with her plan!

-Elle, please! Come back safe!
Promise me!

Hm.

I promise that I'll be back.

-This isn't my first rodeo.

-Been a long time
since I last saw you.

Got any hair left
on the back of your head?

-I just ran into you
the other day.

By the by, you're the one
who got old, Grandpa!

So this was your handiwork
after all, huh?

-[ Gasps ]

You did what?!

-You still have your memories

of the previous universe,
don't you?

So why'd you do it?
Why repeat the process?

Did I do something
to change your mind?

-There was no escaping,
despite knowing everything.

But after meeting you,
I chose a path

where I don't actually use
that device again.

-Son of a b*tch!
You planned to pin

the whole thing on me
from the start!

-Heh!
Yeah, I guess I did, didn't I?

I don't know how many
hundreds or thousands

of times we've done this,
but I'm putting an end to it.

A life that feels like déjà vu
is the best result we can get,

no matter
how big the fluctuations.

The errors don't get
any more significant.

It's gratuitous. No point.

Unending loop
of utter stupidity.

-I've told you before,
haven't I?

This will always be
your choice to make.

-It's what I ultimately
chose to do.

Was it my own free will?
-Who gives a sh*t?

The responsibility
all falls on you anyway.

Now tell me how to
deal with this stupid-a*s thing.

-And save Elle, you turd!

-She was the one who
set this whole thing up.

-[ Gasps ]

-A timeline of this dimension
getting intertwined

with the one from your dimension

was probably caused
by that device.

But considering when
we first met and the moment

I left the device on top
of your desk,

the timing was just too perfect.

Was it a coincidence?

I won't deny it's possible,

but hard to believe,
given you're here now.

Not to mention the fact
that I have memories

of the previous universe.

Then add her appearance
in your world on top of that,

and what if,
while the universe was repeating

in an infinite loop,
she was actually just waiting

for these layers
of coincidences?

You're insane!

-Huh?

♪♪

-That being said, doesn't that
seem like a grand design?

-[ Gasps ]

-I just knew it!

I knew we'd see
each other again!

-In which case,
that device no longer

has the power
to reverse the flow of time.

Because it doesn't
need to anymore.

Elle defied fate itself

and physically manifested
in your universe.

A battle so lonely that
it would drive anyone insane.

But she got through
on sheer tenacity.

This is literally hopeless.
A meaningless gesture.

I'm just assuming
that there's significance

in doing something meaningless.

-Here's a message
from yourself.

There is meaning
to be found in the meaningless.

-Yeah, I remember saying that.

♪♪

But not even
changing the universe

can overcome fate's design.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

The only way someone can beat
their fate is by accepting it.

You activate that device here,

then my whole universe
will vanish...

and then the loop
will finally come to an end.

Then Elle can live
alongside Morty in your universe

without fear
of mutual annihilation.

-[ Gasps ]
-The idea

isn't to redo this universe --
it's to destroy it.

And with an infinite amount
of parallel universes,

this one being wiped out
is hardly significant.

-You're saying
that's her master plan?

-Who knows?
But right now

we have the ability
to reshape fate.

What do you want to do, Morty?

-Huh?

-She might want you
to be the one who decides.

-Me?
