Full Synopsis
Rick is interrogated via a mind-computer link, inside a galactic federal prison. Summer and Morty attempt to rescue him but they are captured by SEAL Team Ricks, who take them to the Citadel of Ricks and decide to assassinate Rick. Back at the prison, Rick tricks both the federal agents and his aspiring assassins by switching bodies with them. He then teleports the entire Citadel into the federal prison, prompting a massive battle. Amid the confusion, Rick rescues Morty and Summer, and uses the Galactic Federation’s mainframe to make its currency worthless.
The Federation falls into chaos and collapses as a result, with the aliens leaving Earth. Rick, Morty, and Summer return home where Jerry gives Beth an ultimatum to choose between him and Rick. Beth chooses Rick and the couple decide to get a divorce. After the new status quo is established, Rick reveals to Morty that his ulterior motive was to become his de facto male influence and get revenge at Jerry for threatening to turn him in to authorities. This escalates into a monologue, centered around Rick’s desire to find more of the discontinued McDonald’s Szechuan sauce, a promotional product for the 1998 film Mulan.
