Some of the best and most refreshing Rick and Morty episodes shine the spotlight on Morty’s big sister Summer Smith. Whereas Morty often repeats his worst mistakes over and over leading to somewhat redundant plotlines, Summer is a more capable and grounded character whom Rick trusts to do things like steal Mr. Nimbus’ magic conch shell or “do a Díe Hard” to save the day. Far too often, Summer either gets sidelined or gets reduced to a smartphone-obsessed millennial, but Season 7 Episode 7 “Wet Kuat Amortican Summer” delivers one of her all-time best stories. In doing so, it also includes a bombshell revealed plucked from the darkest corners of Rick’s fractured psyche.
