* {{Deconstruction}}: Arguably the first iconically bleak one of many the show has done. The start of the plot seems like a simple comedic SorcerersApprenticePlot, with Morty using one of Rick's inventions in a selfish way without thought of consequence, and it backfiring in a way that Morty will realise his wrong doing before things go to normal. However Rick's attempts to fix the situation just make things grimly worse and worse, contaminating the whole planet until ultimately he deems the circumstance so irreversable that he just transfers him and Morty to a new dimension where it hasn't happened. Morty undergoes a ''[[HeroicBSOD lot]]'' more than just learning AnAesop about misuse of powers.

* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Defied, with Rick flat out stating that a LovePotion is the sci-fi equivalent of a date rape drug, and calling Morty out for wanting to use one on Jessica. When this becomes a global pandemic, everyone in the world wants him, including Beth's fellow doctor.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Rick is noticeably nonchalant about traveling to an alternate dimension and replacing his and Morty's dead counterparts, in spite of the horrifying implications of the act. While seemingly just an example of Rick being [[StrawNhilist Rick]], it later comes around as a big hint to this being ''far'' from the first time Rick has done something like this.

* WholePlotReference: Cronenberg's first film, ''Film/Shivers1975'', was the story of a mad scientist who designed a parasite that would produce a heightened sexual response in humans it infected, only to turn out to be more powerful than expected -- the [[LoveIsInTheAir love plague]] ran out of control, turning its victims into insatiable, violent lust zombies with no ethical boundaries including [[PaedoHunt pedophilia]], infecting an entire apartment complex and (by implication) the rest of the world after the end of the film.
