YMMV / Rick and Morty S5 E8: "Rickternal Friendship of the Rickless Mort"

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Did Rick shoo the family to their vacation as an apology for firing them in the previous episode? He did cross the line.
  • Was Birdperson's assessment of Rick at the end right? Was Rick revealing BP's daughter actually just a move to save himself, or was it because he was unable to talk BP down from committing suicide on any other merit? Did Rick actually hesitate the reveal because he was afraid Birdperson wouldn't have as much free time for him, or was BP condemning Rick for an intrusive thought he didn't even act on?
• Win Back the Crowd: After a string of episodes that fans considered to be not as good as episodes from previous seasons, this episode brought back a lot of goodwill from the show's fans.
