Alright so I've never watched Rick & Morty but I'm really interested in it. I'm a big fan of Film Theory/Game Theory/Food Theory and I just watched an episode talking about s4 of the show and I had an idea. Just imagine this...

\\\START///

Summer and Morty go on an adventure and leave Rick behind. Beth and Jerry go out on a date just to have fun and relax. Rick is left alone.

After hours of contemplating what to do, he realizes he had nothing left. His family finally pushed him away for being a jerk, but isn't that what he expected in the end? He left them and after years finally came back, so it was only natural for them to eventually leave him.

Caught in a never ending loop of regret, he makes a machine to silence his thoughts, but it goes wrong. Instead it does the opposite. He breaks down, every moment he's hurt his family repeating and repeating until he can't take it anymore.

Summer and Morty decide to chill near a cliff, just bonding as siblings, when suddenly they see a figure falling. They go to the bottom of the cliff to see none other than Rick at the bottom.

Summer and Morty travel dimensions together, trying to find a way to bring Rick back. Summer suggests travelling to a new dimension, but Morty is opposed to it.

"If I can't have our Rick, there's no point." He says.

They eventually find something and are told that it'll bring Rick back, but when they use it, it's traps them in a time loop instead. They can't get out of it until Rick survives.

They repeat the cycle of the day.

They have everyone stay home. But Rick dies.

They all go on an adventure. But Rick dies.

They keep repeating the day until Morty gets so fed up with the never ending cycle of death that he yells at Rick. He keeps screaming about how Rick was a jerk for leaving them no matter what they tried.

Rick keeps his head down until eventually he says "If you're so fed up with this, just go to a different dimension where I'm alive!"

To which Morty repeats what he told Summer, "If I cant have you in this reality, I don't want you in any other. At least here you know you're a stuck up jerk, even if you don't own up to it just knowing is enough."

And then the episode ends with Rick alive, them having found the right ending to the loop.

///END\\\

Maybe it's too dark, I dunno.

Like I said, I've never watched Rick and Morty so I don't know if aything similar had happened.

Also this probably had a lot of plot holes cuz it was rushed.

Ya so that's it adios.
