" The ABC's of Beth " is the ninth episode of the third season of the American science fiction television series Rick and Morty . Airing on September 24, 2017, the episode was directed by Juan Meza-León and written by Mike McMahan .

Beth learns that her childhood friend Tommy Lipnip's father is about to be executed by lethal injection for murdering and cannibalizing him, and recalls that she coped by imagining he got lost in the magical fantasy world of Froopyland. However, Rick reveals that Froopyland was a real procedurally-generated and childproofed pocket dimension he created for Beth as a child, and she realizes her memories of Tommy getting lost inside of it are real.

Upon reentering to locate Tommy, Rick discovers that the animals have become predatory and dangerous from segments of human DNA . They deduce that Tommy survived to adulthood by having sex with the creatures, consuming the offspring, and then ruling the least palatable as a king. Tommy's minions capture them, and he also accuses Beth of deliberately trapping him in the dimension out of jealousy for his family by pushing him into a honey swamp in a murder attempt, which Beth denies. After Rick takes them back, Beth accuses him of being a bad parent, while Rick counters that he made Froopyland to keep her occupied because she was a violent child. Beth tries to go back to reason with Tommy, but ends up killing him and his offspring. Rick and Beth reconcile and manage to save his father's life by creating a clone of Tommy from his severed finger. Back at home, Beth is presented with the option of having a replacement clone of her created, so that she will be free to travel the world.

Meanwhile, Morty and Summer visit Jerry for custody weekend to find he has entered a rebound relationship by making a soul bond with an alien hunter named Kiara, which Morty warns is more serious than Jerry understands. When he decides to break up with her, he tries to blame the kids for forcing him to break up with her out of racist views, and an enraged Kiara tries to kill Morty and Summer. Jerry finally confesses to lying, and the situation is resolved following the revelation that Kiara was using Jerry to get over her previous boyfriend, much like Jerry was doing with her. In the post-credits scene, Jerry's answering machine plays messages warning him that Kiara's new boyfriend is coming to kill him, Rick saying that he has killed Kiara's boyfriend and had sex with her, and an appliance rental store clerk telling Jerry he can keep the answering machine since they are only used for exposition on television.

On September 11, 2017, it was revealed that the episode title would be "The ABC's of Beth", as well as the release date of September 24, 2017. [1] The episode's writing credit of series producer and writer Mike McMahan was revealed upon the episode's airing, as was the directorial credit of Juan Meza-León. "The ABC's of Beth" stars series regulars Justin Roiland as Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith , Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith, Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith , and Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith , respectively.

In addition, Thomas Middleditch voices the character Tommy Lipnip, an old friend of Beth's who became stuck in Froopyland as a child and resorted to terrible means to stay alive. In the end, Tommy is presumed dead and Beth and Rick create a clone of him to return to his parents. [2] Also, Jennifer Hale voices Keara, an alien huntress whom Jerry briefly dates in the episode, and Brandon Johnson and Kari Wahlgren reprise their roles from previous Rick and Morty seasons as recurring characters Mr. Goldenfold, Morty's school teacher, and Jessica, Morty's long-time crush.

Inverse noted that the "biggest Rick and Morty season 4 mystery" of whether Beth or Space Beth (later introduced in " Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri ", the finale of the fourth season) is the real clone made by Rick. The article also delved into the concept of evil in the episode, saying, "'Evil is a construct that Rick doesn't really believe in,' series creator Dan Harmon says. 'The universe is populated with stupidity, and you’re the smartest person in it. Then you're always going to be the most cruel. You're always going to be burdened by their dumbness. You're all alone in your intellect.'" [3] In an Inside "The ABC's of Beth" video, writer Ryan Elder said, "[Rick] designed Froopyland to both entertain Beth so he didn’t have to, but also to protect her from herself." [4] In a review for the episode, in which The A.V. Club called it "stellar" and "consistently hilarious, while also touching on the show's biggest theme," Michael Walsh noted that "once again the show hit hard on its recurring idea that nothing matters." [5]

The episode was viewed by 2.49 million Americans upon its airdate. [6]

The season has an approval rating of 96% from Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews, and an average rating of 8.95 out of 10, with the site's consensus:
Rick and Morty dives into new and even kookier cosmic dilemmas in a third season that interrogates familial bonds, love, and nihilism—treating all existential topics to the series' trademark serrated wit. [7]
IGN commented on the fact that Beth and Jerry usually don't play a starring role in given season 3 episodes, saying ""The ABCs of Beth" felt like a concerted effort to make up for lost time, and it didn't disappoint." Jesse Schedeen, the writer of the review, also said, the episode contained "Some pretty dark stuff, in other words ... It's enough to wonder if the writers went a little too far exploring the dark creature that lurks beneath Beth's pleasant exterior." [8] Den of Geek called the entire season, especially "The ABC's of Beth", overstuffed, saying that it "loses the plot a little ... It’s unfortunate because this series has been so good about gradually fleshing out all its characters beyond Rick and Morty and this was Beth’s time to shine."

Writer Joe Matar of Den of Geek gave the episode three out of five stars. [9] Jenny Jaffe of Vulture said that "If the fact that "The ABCs of Beth”"comes right after “Morty’s Mind-Blowers” is at all significant, we might conclude that they’ve done all of this before and they’ll continue to do this again, in every conceivable universe, until the end of time. But as Rick—or Beth—might remind us, it doesn’t really matter. Nothing does. [10]

[1]

After Morty requests to have a traumatic memory deleted, Rick reveals a room where he has been storing a number of memories he has removed from Morty's mind, including those about how he inadvertently drove an innocent man to suicide, or how he accidentally sent an alien to hell. However, as it turns out, besides the memories that Morty did not want to keep from their adventures, the room also contains memories in which Rick was made to look foolish, so he forcibly removed them from Morty. This revelation prompts a fight, during which Rick and Morty have their memories accidentally erased.

Morty scours the memories around him to replace the ones he lost, but he is displeased with the truth he finds, and convinces Rick that they should kill themselves. Summer enters the room moments before they commit suicide. At this point, it is revealed that Rick has a contingency plan in place for an occasion such as this. Following written instructions, Summer tranquilizes Rick and Morty, restores their memories, and drags them to the living room, placing them on the couch. Then Summer administers smelling salts to revive Rick and Morty. As they wake up, they're both angry at Summer, believing she allowed them to sleep through several shows on "Interdimensional Cable." In the post-credits scene, Jerry discovers a box labeled "Jerry's Mind Blowers", which contains a memory reminiscent of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial where Jerry is accidentally responsible for the death of an alien.

The series' writers posted on Twitter on September 18, 2017, a day after the airing of the episode, that they had initially come up with "about a hundred mind blowers, then had to narrow it down and vote, then still wrote more." [3] [4]

Jonas Briedis voices Zick Zack, an alien and part of the Floop Floopian race who believe there is an afterlife .

Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club praised the episode's uniqueness and the fact that it does not follow a single linear plot like the season premiere, " The Rickshank Rickdemption ", however the review also noted that the show was "writing itself into a corner." [9] Jesse Schedeen of IGN called the episode "a deep dive into all the horrible adventures Morty would just as soon (and did) forget. The results were amusing, but this episode still lacked the freshness of " Rixty Minutes "." The review, comparing the episode to the season two episode " Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate ", also said it "is more entertaining than another "Interdimensional Cable 2" sequel likely would have been, but it's far from the strongest installment of the season. Nor is it a formula that demands its own sequel." [10] Inverse called the episode "an entertaining alternate to "Interdimensional Cable 2" that’s a lot more fun than the random madness of alternate reality television, but these stories actually have an impact on how we perceive the show’s main characters," also posing the theory that the episode is set in an alternate universe from the rest of the show with an alternate version of Rick and Morty, as the episode implies that the two characters have "migrated" to a new dimension more than shown in previous episodes. [11]

Den of Geek also compared and contrasted the episode to "Interdimensional Cable 2", saying "each sketch can’t start with a completely blank canvas. Rick and Morty have to be at the center of all of them, which, like the lack of ad-libbing, makes this a lot less of a freewheeling ride" and giving the episode overall 3.5 stars out of 5. [12] In an episode review, Steve Greene of IndieWire said, "For a series that delights in its visual inventiveness, it’s hard to believe that this was the first time “Rick and Morty” ventured into the M.C. Escher zone, barely escaping a logic puzzle architectural trap with their bodies and minds intact." [13]

Rick and Morty season 3 introduced the mind blowers and featured erased memories sorted by different colors. Here's what each color means.
Here's what each mind blower color on Rick and Morty means. The animated series from Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland is best known for its sense of humor and inventive stories following Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. Like most animated shows, Rick and Morty developed a trend early on to do one episode each season filled with random side adventures and concepts or cut storylines. While these started as the Interdimensional Cable episodes of the show, Rick and Morty used a different tool to bring an anthology narrative to viewers in season 3.
Rick and Morty season 3, episode 8, introduced Morty's mind blowers as a new chance for Harmon and Roiland to tell shorter side stories with the characters. Rick took Morty into a secret room under the garage after Morty asked him to erase a terrible memory from their most recent adventure. This led Rick to explain this isn't the first time Morty has been traumatized by past events and begins to show him old, erased memories that blew Morty's mind. There are hundreds of vials within the room, and they are color-coded, it appears. Although Rick tells Morty not to read into the colors, the show explained some.
Morty's encounter with the mind blowers begins with a few vials that feature memories that are colored blue. These are incidents that Morty wants to be erased because of a mistake he made that he no longer wants to remember. He sees a few ways that his actions resulted in terrible outcomes, including one man killing himself because of Morty's moon conspiracy. Morty then experiences one of the purple mind blowers, which include mistakes made by the family that Morty wants to forget. This includes an incident where Beth chose to save Summer's life over Morty's without hesitation. Morty's red vials contain memories that Rick wants to be erased, though, such as when he mistakenly killed an animal to keep him and Morty warm on an alien planet only to realize they were on a different one than Rick thought.
The blue, purple, and red mind blowers are the only ones used in Rick and Morty season 3 , episode 8, but other colors are featured in the episode. Rick says that he doesn't color-code stuff because he's smarter than that. However, the episode itself presents information that indicates this was a lie. This leaves Rick and Morty with yellow, green, and pink mind blowers that have unexplained meanings. The yellow and green mind blowers can be seen in the episode's background, while Morty says there are pink mind blowers near the liquor Rick stashes down there.
So what do the yellow, green, and pink mind blowers in Rick and Morty mean? They could be mistakes that the family made that they asked Rick to erase from Morty. It is possible that these aren't Morty's mind blowers at all, as there are far fewer of them than the other colors, and instead are Rick's mind blowers. The pink mind blowers, in particular, could be those that Rick erases when he is intoxicated . The show could also eventually explain that these are Summer's mind blowers. She is familiar with the room and the mind blowers concept according to the events of the episode, so Rick could erase some of Summer's memories from time to time. In reality, we'll only know what the additional mind blowers mean if Rick and Morty decides to explore the concept further.
